“come on, get up.” matt’s voice is deadpan, but he can’t hide the way he looks back at mello once more than he has to, checking to see if it’s really so painful for him to move. it is,
so he swallows his concern and finds his way over. “here... i’ve got some of my clothes. wear those, they’re comfier.” and less likely to irritate the burns sustained all across mello’s body.
the whole thing was terrifying. knowing that mello could have been dead, seeing the scarring on his face, his body mangled. the leather had burnt itself onto him in places. if matt hadn’t shown up when he did... if he hadn’t been watching...
well, he doesn’t want to think about that possibility, even though mello is a walking kill switch. it’s just part and parcel of falling in love with the wrong people for the wrong reasons. honestly... matt’s an idiot for leaving wammy’s to find him, but there’s nowhere else he’d rather be.
mello needs him, as much as he doesn’t want to admit it.
he carefully starts to unbutton mello’s tight clothing — honestly, he shouldn’t even be wearing this shit right now — and carefully begins to pull it off, mindful of the injuries. he’s never wanted to hurt mello. “just lean on my hand and i’ll get this shirt on. you mind just stripping down to your skivvies? i can give you a pair of my pants. whatever’s more comfortable, just not this nightmare. your legs can’t breathe with these on.” matt pauses, and his voice goes soft, almost uncertain. “i won’t... it’ll just be me that sees.”
