I DON'T OWN DEATH NOTE OR ITS CHARACTERS
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
"Matt!" said a figure pulling his hair and nibbling on the end of an eraser. A red head, presumably named Matt looked up, "Yeah?" The blond haired figure threw the pencil at him, Matt, being
Matt, was prepared and ducked. "That constant tapping is pissing me off! Don't you see I'm trying to study?" the blond said returning to his studying. Mello never studied..unless...Beating
one person was involved. Near. His rival and the only thing standing in his best friends way from getting to the top to succeeding L. Oh how his friend hated him, but Matt didn't have
anything against the white haired boy, just that his best friend hates him. "Mello, why don't you take a break?" Matt asked innocently, hoping the fuming Mello doesn't decide to take his
stress out on him. An angry Mello wasn't pretty. "And do WHAT Matt?" Mello looked at him angrily for disturbing his studying. The red head had to think fast, "Uh...uhm...How about...Truth or
dare?" Matt inwardly cringed. Damn! That was a bad idea. Really bad. What surprised Matt was that, Mello didn't say anything back. He was actually CONSIDERING it. Matt closed his DS and
set it down on the bed next to him. Mello closed his books and stretched. Then he smiles really big, kind of creepy.. "That, Matt...Is a great idea! I know just who to ask to!" Mello said slyly.
Oh no. He got up and headed to the door with Matt hot on his heels.
Mello walked pretty quickly down the hallways, it was hard for Matt to catch up. Then, a girl with pigtails, holding a sketch pad came right past Mello. What was really unexpected was that
Mello grabbed her arm and she stumbled right onto theground. "Mello!" she growled standing up and brushing herself off, Matt handed her the sketch pad. "You have my attention Mello,
what do you want?" Shemumbled crossing her arms, taking the sketch pad from Matt, he gave her a silent apology and stepped aside. "We are going to go play truth or dare in Near's room,
want to come?" he asked, it more or less sounded like a command. Like, come or I'll force you. She glared at him. She hopped that she didn't make it obvious that she had a small crush on the
white haired boy, all she did was visit him from time to time and tried to get him to come she was curious on what Mello was planing on doing and didn't believe it was "Just-an-innocent-
game-of-Truth-or-Dare" she was to smart to believe that little act. "Common Linda, it will be fun." Matt said smiling at her. Linda smiled back. Matt was like Mello's opposite. Ying to his Yang or
what ever. "Sure Matt! Since you were so kind about it!" Linda said happily. "Because I trust you. Unlike, Mello." Shes still pretty pissed off at Mello for basically throwing her on the ground
instead of saying, Hey Linda! I want to ask you something. She followed them down the hallway and sighed. 'His name makes him look like such a hypocrite...He isn't even that Mellow! But yet,
if he was Mellow, he just, well...Wouldn't be Mello.' she shook the thoughts out of her head. 'What?' She almost confused herself! While thinking, she bumped right into Matt's back and
stumbled a bit. She blushed, "Sorry Matt." he patted her on the head, "That's-" Before he could finish Mello had already picked the lock and threw the door right open. The white haired boy
didn't look up at him no shock or anything showed. Mello has always picked his lock and came in his room several times to put him down or try some sad attempt to throw him over the edge.
"Yes, Mello?" The white haired boy asked not looking up, still reading over his book. Instead of answering, Mello went right over and kicked the book shut. "Near, let's play a game." The
white haired boy, Near, closed his eyes and sighed, twirling a piece of hair in between his fingers. 'A game, huh? Coming from Mello, this doesn't sound good.' Linda and Matt came inside and
shut the door with a 'click'. Near looked up. "Mello I do-." Mello sat down on the opposite side on near on the ground. "Of course you do!" Mello made himself comfy on the floor. Linda sat
between Mello and Near. Matt sat between Mello and Near on the opposite side of Linda. Now it was a tiny circle. Near hugged one knee up to his chest, 'Might as well play.' Mello looked at
Matt, to Near, then to Linda. "Linda! You start." Mello pointed to her. She sighed and looked at Matt. "Matt? Truth or dare." She asked him. He thought about it for a second. "Ok lets start this
off with…Truth!" Matt smiled and put his hands behind his head. Linda tapped her finger on her chin in thought. "Hmm.. Who was your first crush?" Linda asked, deciding to go easy on Matt.
Matt smirked evilly, "I would have to say…Roxie." Mello was baffled. "The creepy chick that sits next to you in Algebra?" Matt nodded and what looked like to be holding back a laugh. Mello
shook his head. "Your turn Matt." Without even thinking, "Mello truth or dare?" Mello laughed. "Dare." He crossed his arms proudly, Linda laughed and Near rolled his eyes. Matt laughed so
hard he couldn't breath. Mello glared at him.
"Ok, ok Matt."
"I dare you to do a split."
"….."
Matt laughed so hard tears were coming out of his eyes. Mello was rendered speechless. "Matt I will kill you later on." Mello stood up, and did a half way split until he fell to the ground. "B-
Boys are not supposed to d-do splits." Mello rubbed his legs. "Is it ok to uncover my eyes now?" Linda asked with her hands covering her eyes. "Yes." Near said and Linda uncovered her
eyes and sighed in relief. "Kay Mello it's your turn!" Mello looked at Near and laughed. "Near?" he looked at Mello with the 'Oh god' face. "Truth or dare?" Near thought about this for a
second, It would be safe to go with truth. "Truth." He said almost regretting playing this game with Mello. "Alrighty then, if this was a dare but it's not, would you kiss the person next to
you?" Mello snickered. Near looked at Matt then at Linda. "Which one?" He asked. Linda tried to conceal her blush and Matt just burst out laughing. "Matt." Mello said smirking and Matt
stopped laughing. "Dude that's not right!" Matt crossed his arms. "No…" Near said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Near looked around the room. "Matt?" He asked the red
head boy. "Truth or dare?" Matt smiled. "Truth!" Near fell speechless. Linda decided to help him out a bit and whispered something in his ear. "Ok. Matt. Out of all the people in the room," He
looked at Linda, she gave him a thumbs up. "Who would you date?" He asked like there was nothing wrong with that question. Linda busted out laughing, 'Near actually asked that?' Mello's
sweatdropped. Matt looked around the room then smile big. The red head grabbed Mello's hands and looked at him with a goofy grin. "Mello, dear would you be mine?" Linda fell backwards
laughing so hard tears came out of her eyes and Near's eyes widened and he twirled his hair a bit more rapidly. Mello snatched his hands away. "Like hell I wont!" he said sitting on his
hands. Matt laughed and adjusted the goggles on his head. "Just joking my good pal!" Mello mumbled something then looked at Matt, "Your turn." Matt looked at Linda who had already
straightened herself up but hits of her still trying to hold back laughter was slightly obvious. "Linda, truth or dare?" he asked. "Dare!" She smiled still holding back laughter. Matt smirked
deviously. Oh he would get her back for sure. "Linda I dare you to go in Near's closet for 8 minutes WITH Near." Linda's blood ran cold and she blushed. "Aww Haha, your funnyMatt, at first I
thought you said….."She looked at him and he looked back with eyes saying, 'Yeah you heard me.' Near had already gotten up and walked over into it. Might as well get it over with…Linda
reluctantly went over into the closet with him. It wasn't a walk in closet either. Her heart was pounding as she stepped inside. "Kay Linda! No hard feelings!" Matt said smiling at her. "I'm not
making any promises." She mumbled as he shut the door and what sounded like a second click. He locked the door. "I want details Linda!" She heard Mello shout. She blushed as she felt
Near right next to her. He was only lightly taller then her, she noticed. "So.." She said awkwardly, her eyes adjusting to the darkness she saw he was looking down at her. "It's just 8
minutes, Linda, lets just get it over with." He said. She nodded and looked down, she knows he hadn't meant to be so cold, but she couldn't help but feel a bit hurt. She felt her back was up
against the door and he must be facing the opposite direction. "How many more minutes?" She shouted. There was a pause and what sounded like Matt said, "4 more!" then she heard more
mumbling that she couldn't make out. "Uhm Near?" She asked, just to break to silence. "Yes?" She thought for a moment. "Uhm, I'm doing this art project and I was wondering. Could I paint
you? I mean like, you don't have to say yes or anything." She stopped talking realizing she was rambling. There was a silence, "Yes, I guess you can." She smiles happily and hugged him.
"Thank you!" She smiled then let go of him quickly realizing what she did. "I-I'm sorry." She blushed a bit. She could hear a small sigh, "I didn't know you wanted to draw me so much." He
said with a hit of a smirk. She blushed and ran through all the possible come-backs, but found nothing. She huffed in defeat and crossed her arms and mumbled something he couldn't hear.
Then suddenly the door flung over and Linda fell over. With Near on top of her. His legs on both sides of her as well as his arms so he wouldn't bump his head on hers head. She turned a
blood red and a faint pink stained Near's cheeks. Matt and Mello stared at them for a second then started bursting out laughing. Then the door opened and Roger stepped inside. Mello and
Matt stopped laughing and Near and Linda looked over at Roger then got up, still stained pink. "What is going on here?" Roger asked in a serious tone. Mello opened his mouth but Roger
didn't let him finish, "Nevermind about that, all four of you. In my office. Now. We have a guest." He said and one by one they walked out of the room and followed Roger. At first, he
regretted playing the game Truth or Dare. He didn't really regret it anymore. In fact, Near was looking forward to the next game.
^^ I hopes you like it! :)
