AN: I wanted to do an epilogue just so I could lead into the sequel, which I am currently working on. This is fluffy and sweet and I love it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note or the amazing Billy Joel's "Only the Good Die Young" (If you do not like either of these things, I now ask you to imagine me glaring at you and telling you none too politely to GET OUT!)

Warnings: Yaoi (but no lemons, I wouldn't be able to write that), swearing, and Mello (although he's Christian in this story)

KINDLY review!

Only The Good Die Young

Mello POV

"Meeellllloooo!" I squeaked as Matt hugged me from behind, calling my name in that sing-songy voice of his that meant he was up to something.

"What is it, Matt?" He smiled, and grabbed my hand, leading me to an unused music room (AN: Host Club?). "I have a birthday present for you. Come on!" He push me through the doors and sat me down in a chair in front of the piano. A few kids I didn't recognize were standing behind the piano with assorted instruments. Matt sat down at the piano bench, and I laughed."Matt, what are you doing?"

"Well, I realized I had never played piano for you, and although this song is not entirely piano, I know it's one of your favorites, and I decided to make it work." He smiled his goofy, lopsided smile, and I smiled back. He then looked down at the piano, and began to play, his finger softly caressing the keys. After a bit, the other students began to join in. Then Matt opened his mouth.

Come out Virginia, don't let me wait
You Catholic girls start much too late
aw But sooner or later it comes down to fate
I might as well be the one

His voice was soft and smooth, which took me by surprise. He played the piano masterfully, and although it was not part of the original, I could tell that he intended to continue playing all the way through.

You might have heard I run with a dangerous crowd
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
We might be laughing a bit too loud
aw But that never hurt no one

I laughed and stood up, standing by his side. He stopped playing for a moment, getting up to dance with me. He was right, this was one of my favorite songs. He was a terrible dancer, but I tried to lead him through some steps as he sang.

The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind
(you know)
Never lets in the sun
darlin only the good die young
woah
i tell ya
only the good die young, only the good die young

He returned to his seat at the piano, and I continued to sway and move my hips beside him. You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation. He sang, looking up at me as I smiled down at him, elated.

You got a brand new soul
mmmm, And a cross of gold
But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information
You didn't count on me

I couldn't imagine a better birthday present. He was the best boyfriend anyone could hope for, and I resolved then and there never to leave him.

They say there's a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it's better but I say it ain't
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
the sinners are much more fun...

Only the good die—

"Mello?" Roger entered the room, silencing the music. That little creep Near was with him too. "Can you please come with me to my office for a moment?"

I blew Matt kiss, saying "I'll be back in a moment, Mattie my love." Whatever Roger wanted couldn't take that long.

He grinned at me again, and I danced out of the room, smiling like a fool.
