A/N: Hi, everyone! This is my first ever Death Note fanfiction, which is something I always wanted to do at some stage. Death Note is one of my all time favourite anime and from the first episode I was hooked. Now I've been reading a few fics in this section and one of the pairing that I grew to adore is Mello and Matt – they really seem perfect with one another. So, I decided to write a 100 drabble based collection about them. I hope you enjoy this!

Disclaimer: None of the Death Note characters including Matt and Mello belong to me. I won't put in any more disclaimers in as it ruins the flow of the story.

1. Birthday

Glancing over at the clock on the bedside table, I realised that it was exactly midnight. I knew what that meant – it was Mello's ninth birthday. With a grin I switched on the lampshade, waking up Mello in the process.

"Matt, what are you doing up at this hour? Go back to sleep!"

As soon as I retrieved the present from the bedside cabinet drawer, I got out of bed and walked over to Mello. He raised a questioning eyebrow silently.

"Happy Birthday!" I cheerfully said, giving him his gift. It was a box of Thornton's chocolates.

A/N: Don't ask me why, but I get the idea of Matt waking Mello up at midnight to give him his birthday present. Oh, and all of these drabbles will be different – some of them can be when they're younger, some of them will either be romantic or platonic, and some of them will follow the canon while others will not.
