Interlude: Part 1

Suggested Listening: Better Place by Puddle of Mud

Interlude: Part One

He wasn't supposed to be there. He wasn't even supposed to be out of his own bed. But Matt wasn't worried about the potential consequences of his current actions. Not in the least.

He was, however, very worried about the body that lay bandaged in the hospital bed.

It was unusual for him to get emotional over anything anymore, at least not to the rate where he'd had to be sedated... Matt almost felt a little ashamed of himself. Almost. Mello was his friend... his best friend. He was allowed to worry.

The blond's eyes were shut and his breathing was shallow, but he was alive. And that was all that Matt had needed to know. It was so damn hard to get any kind of information on Mello or Near from those damn doctors.

They didn't seem to think someone as young as himself could handle the truth, and he had even heard the whispers about a psychiatrist coming to speak with him as he was the only one awake, and he knew that when Mello and Near woke they would be subjected to much of the same.

Or would have been had Matt not been planning on busting them all out the second he was assured they would all live. He knew Mello's burns were serious, and he knew they needed a certain amount of specialized care, but the longer they stayed put, the quicker L would catch them and make sure they were silenced for good.

And Matt refused to let that happen on his watch. He had gotten them into this mess and he would make sure they came out of it alive. No matter what he had to do.

His fists were clenched by his sides and his face set in rage. He took a deep breath, coughing a little, and calmed himself. His emotions had completely gone haywire. He wasn't meant to be the leader... he... wasn't made to handle a situation like that on his own.

Sure, everything had been fine before. But everything hadn't sunk in yet.

Of course it hadn't, he berated himself.

They hadn't almost died before.

Hell, he still didn't know much about Near's condition other than he was alive. That was it. They wouldn't let Matt see him, or Mello, and they said that it was best he concentrate on his own recovery and not to worry.

What the hell kind of crap advice was that?

Not knowing had unhinged a part of himself. His nerves were frayed and he was sure he was going to murder someone if they suggested one more time that it was in his best interest to stay away.

Besides, he was sure he was the least injured out of the three of them. Some smoke inhalation problems, which he was sure Mello and Near also had; cuts and scraps, the same as Mello and probably Near, and an injured knee.

Though the latter wasn't serious. He had ended up dislocating his knee... and would have to wear a brace for a while. But it was nothing. Not compared to Mello's burns.

They covered the left side of his face, parts of his neck and shoulder, went down his back and even touched parts of his hip and lower. The worst ones were where the accelerant, which hadn't been determined, had been on him.

His face, neck and shoulder.

They would all definitely scar.

Matt didn't want to see what Mello's reaction would be to seeing the bandages that covered himself... or his hair. Which had practically been shaved on the left side when they had treated his wounds.

But he was alive...

They had already been there for a day. And that was too long. He would need access to a computer so that he could hack some money to get them out of there. L probably had the news being watched for any signs that their bodies had been discovered.

The only thing Matt had managed, was to convince them that someone was after them, that the fire had been set, and that they couldn't publish that they had lived or at least hold off for a few days. So far, from what he'd seen in paper he'd snatched from the nurses station, was that news about the fire had been published but nothing more.

He'd probably been so frantic and wild looking at the time that they'd believed him. He knew it was a good thing. The only reason he assumed the police hadn't talked to him would be that they were waiting for the others to wake up…

He rubbed at his eyes tiredly and wondered if they'd ever be safe. Even if L didn't know they were alive yet, he probably would soon. There were just too many variables. And Matt hated it.

Mello wheezed a little and dislodged a piece of hair so that it fell in is eyes. Eyes twitched and moved every time the hair brushed against the lids. And while he would have loved for Mello to wake up, to be sure he was alright, he knew Mello would be in so much pain...

He brushed back the strand of hair, tucking it behind an ear, and smiled sadly at him.

Matt only knew one thing for certain. No matter what happened, and where they went from here, everything would be alright as long as they stuck together.
