Mello's gay. Matt's straight. They've known these things about each other since they were sixteen, and there's never been a problem-not for Matt, anyway. Now, they're almost 22, and a well-intentioned but ill-thought-out kiss sets them up to unravel the assumptions they make about each other, as well as those they make about themselves. Shared apartment fic, non-Death Note AU.

Mello is a drug smuggler who hates druggies. Matt is a guitarist with an interest in drugs who spends his time hacking into computers and prying into people's lives. One day he hacks into a computer to find the owner, who he later finds is called Mihael, typing personal rants. Interested, Matt decides to look for Mihael while Mello is introduced to a rock band due to a drug deal.AU
