-Alternate Ending-

Happy 1 Year to the fic that started it all!

I wrote this ANGST-FILLED ending, then after putting it aside for a few days, hated myself and this fucking stupid idea, so I wrote the actual ending on my phone while on a 4 hour flight to Las Vegas... enjoy (feel free to make fun of me 🤡)

...

“Mello, I’m so sorry.” Matt was losing control, “This was… was all… all my fault.” Matt broke, crumbling to the ground under the realization that he had gotten her killed. And the worst part was that he might have lost his lifelong friend as well. “Mello, you know I’ve never been as diligent as you. Even back at Wammy’s that was the case. I fucked up, I know.”

Mello had a death threat written in his growing pitch-black pupils. He strutted closer to Matt and put the barrel of the gun right up to his forehead. “You. You got her killed. This is your penance.”

Matt looked up at Mello. “I did. I was the one who got her killed. And I will never forgive myself for that.”

Mello cocked the hammer of the weapon.

Matt’s mind had come to a surprising conclusion. That he deserved to die for his carelessness. He didn’t want to, but it was a sacrifice he would willing give to his best friend.

Mello put his finger on the trigger.

“Do it.” Matt whispered.

Mello hesitated.

Matt finally spoke what he had been thinking. “It’s okay, Mels. This is what I deserve.” Matt looked up at Mello and closed his wet and swollen eyes, accepting his fate.

Mello counted down in his head.

“3” Something about this felt wrong, but what else was he supposed to do?

“2” She was gone, this was the only way to put things right. Right?

“1” No. There was only one way to put things back to the way he wanted them to be...well, almost.

“0” Ok, now. Mello’s finger began to tighten around the trigger, but not before he pointed the barrel under his own chin.

“Mels, no!” Matt, in feeling the firearm move from his head, instinctually and in one swift motion stood and grabbed Mello’s arm at the wrist and yanked it away, angling the barrel forward and away from Mello’s head before he could realize, let alone react.

BANG!!!

He was alive but something still wasn’t right. Matt looked into Mello’s eyes. Matt’s face was beginning to pale. Mello looked down to his hand, still clutching metal, and saw blood gushing out of the wound in Matt’s chest. What had he done?

Matt smiled. “It’s ok.” He fell to his knees and would’ve fallen entirely into the dirt if Mello hadn’t caught him first.

The light in Matt’s eyes was fading fast. His eyelids fluttered as he coughed up red, trying to speak. “Mihael,” Matt was barely audible, “Will… you ever…” there was a long pause followed be a labored inhale, “forgive me?” Matt stared up into Mello’s eyes in search of the forgiveness he sought. That would be the last face he ever saw.

Mello answered Matt’s question, knowing full well he would never be blessed with a reply. “Oh Matty…” his voice shook failing to hold his fragile composure, “I already have.”

Mello looked back down. His eyes were swollen, but the tears had stopped. He glanced at the weapon… and then at lemon keychain. Both of which he had dropped. He pondered his options, and in one swift motion chose one to pick up, just as the rain began to fall.

💖 🤷‍♀️ 🌷

Thank you for the ask!!

💖 Which of your fics is your pride and joy?

My mirrorverse fic, Out of the Light, my pokemon AU spones fic That Which is Yet Unknown, and First Impressions, my 5+1 McCoy meets Sarek because it was SO self-indulgent and I love re-reading it lol 😄

For non-star trek, my disco elysium fic Familiar Fluidity because it's a choose your own adventure, which I coded myself (based on a template) and had to write all the different options for lol, which took a LOT of work but was also a lot of fun!!

🤷‍♀️What's a fic you didn't expect to be popular, but really took off?

My rontoto fic, The Case of the Clairvoyant Friend Group!!! I didn't think kamoron was that popular lol, where did you 434 people come from lol???? Thanks so much for your support!!

🌷What's one of your fics that isn't as popular, but you hold dear?

I wrote a little drabble of Gokudera and ryouhei (not romantic), Customization, that is very close to my heart lol, I had a lot of fun writing it, but the KHR fandom is almost non-existent, and even the people who do exist don't care about that pair LMAO. Very valid, but it's still a personal favorite of mine~
