A/N This actually happened to me… I tried to donate blood for the Red Cross, but was deferred because of low iron count. CC, or Camou, is Matt's little brother. Enjoy the story (Unless you fear incest… then, run away screaming)!!!
Camou looked down at the floor as he pushed his way through the crowded lunchroom at Whammy house. Fresh tears had his bright green eyes illuminated when the older man spotted him. Mikami had originally been sent by Light to look up information on Near, but for some strange reason, this boy distracted him… even from serving his beloved God. He chose to approach this wandering soul with caution.
Mikami placed a gentle hand on CC's shoulder. "Are you alright, dear boy?"
"N-no…" he sniffled. "I was deferred. I… I just wanted to help… s-since I'd never be as good as L"
"Hm? Good at what, little one?" Mikami asked, now kneeling to his level.
"Solving crimes and s-stuff. L's the best there ever was and ever will be. Near is gonna take his place, and Mello's next in line. I'll never get my chance. I just wanted to help Japan… that's all… and they told me no."
"No? No to what?" Mikami asked. Camou only pointed to a blood drive poster on the wall. "Oh… I see. I'm so sorry little one. What was the problem?"
"Low iron count… I knew I shouldn't have skipped breakfast. I just wanted Nii-san to be proud of me…" the boy collapsed into Mikami's arms and began to weep again. He was strangely open to strangers… he was always taught by Mr. Whammy that, "A stranger in this house is just a friend you haven't met." The boy's auburn hair teased Mikami's senses and smelled strongly of vanilla. The urge to wrap his arms around this boy was upon him before Mikami knew what was coming.
"Your hugs are warm Mister… what's your name?" Camou asked looking up.
"Mikami Teru… pleasure to meet you."
