How Do You Measure The Life?
Genre: general
Pairing: M&M
Overall Warnings: boy-on-boy, language, angst, fics ranging from just about K all the way up to M.
Disclaimer: Neither the songs used for inspiration or Death Note itself are mine.
Notes: I have a fairly eclectic collection of music and I love to listen to songs while I'm writing short fic for theme/idea purposes. I also have a fairly eclectic collection of random M&M fic pieces based on said music; what you will see here are my personal favourites. All are meant to be along some line of canon or altered circumstances (no AUs here, for now), although none of them actually connect to each other. I kept them in approximate chronological order; it was the best way I could think of to organize them.
Language Notes: All of the pieces are self-beta'ed. I have a filthy mouth at times, and so I apologize in advance for any offense given. Styles and length are ranged, depending on the idea and the song.

The Who - I'm A Boy
Notes: The random button gave me this little gem. I know it's been done to death, but it is such fun to write nevertheless.

His new roommate is a cute little blond thing in an oversized black sweater and tight jeans who eyes Matt suspiciously.
Matt waves the kid towards the spare bed. "Make yourself at home. My name's Matt, by the way. I'm on the final level of this video game, so please don't interrupt me and don't feel insulted that I'm ignoring you."
The kid doesn't move, just stands in the doorway looking like they're ready to bolt at a moment's notice.
"I don't bite," Matt says finally, putting his game on pause and looking at the little blond thing curiously. "You don't have to be shy." He thinks he knows what the problem is, and smiles encouragingly. "I know it's kind of weird to room with a boy, but -"
"Excuse me?!"
Matt realizes his mistake a moment too late, when the kid speaks in a surprisingly deep, obviously male voice, but too late is too late and his backtracking just makes it worse.
His new roommate is well-mannered enough to inform him that his name is 'Mello' and yes, he is most definitely a boy and if he dares question his gender again Matt will die slowly and painfully; also, when Matt's whimpering gets too annoying, he is good enough to drag him to the infirmary and drop him off there.
"Was that your new roommate? She's pretty cute," says the nurse who is cleaning out his split lip.
"Mello's a boy," Matt says, and that's one lesson he's not going to forget in a hurry.
