Ren: okay! We're gonna do a song fic to pass the time.

Dezi: Honestly, no one's guessed the couple yet… (See "Search for the best lemon") You Yaoi fans better get on it!

Ren: I know…But oh well, we can wait a little longer. So here peoplez! Dezi do the claim!

Dezi: We do not own this song, nor anything at all! (maniacal laughter)

Ren: Dude, that's creepy….any way, this is a slight spin off from my first Death note story, the sequel, if people like it, we'll continue!

Mihael Keehl, or as we know him, Mello, sat on his bed, rather in a strange trance. He was doing nothing really, leaving his mind to wonder. Like how he was in some strange house with some weird chick who quote 'saved you both at the last moment'. She had somehow fetched them from their beloved Wammy's house, all three of them, that is, to live with her. Then he found out L, his hero, was her husband and father of her eight year old son. Near had moved in with them also, but she doted mainly on Mello, which strangely, pleased him. Matt had quickly taken a liking to her and her son, Nathan. Not only did the kid love video games, his mom encouraged him to play for some hand-eye coordination crap.

But in truth, Sarah Lawliet, A.K.A. Molly, wasn't really hard to like, considering she was a people pleaser. Maybe it was the fact that she endlessly told him how great he was, or made him chocolate from scratch, or maybe it was how she was more of a mother to them than anyone else in the world. Maybe that was it. But also, maybe it was because he had suddenly been reborn.

In this house, since there was nothing to hurt them, they were allowed to use their real names. But of course, it was still fun to use their aliases. Nathan had even given himself the name Jason to be in the small circle, but they still called him by his birth name. He had to say, the kid was really a mixture of his parents. He had given Mello the best present, knowledge. Yep, the kid had hooked Mello on Matt in a single day. All it had taken was a slow dance at a Christmas party….a fucking slow dance that the kid had wanted to dance and grabbed both Matt and Mello, then left them in the middle of the dance floor.

//flashback//

"Might as well dance…" Matt said.

Mello blushed and turned away, his hands on his hips. "No way, let's just wait for the brat…"

"Then until he gets back." Matt said.

"Fine." Mello said and put one hands on his shoulders. Matt put his own on the blonds waist. Mello tried to listen to the music rather than focus on the hands on his hips.

'If I never knew you…

If I never felt this love…

I would have no inkling of

How precious life can be.'

He gulped and tightened his grip on Matt's shoulders.

'And if I never held you
I would never have a clue
How at last I'd find in you
The missing part of me.'

He noticed Matt wasn't wearing his usual gloves or goggles. He stared into the red head's eyes, with out so much as a first thought.

'In this world so full of fear
Full of rage and lies
I can see the truth so clear
In your eyes
So dry your eyes'

Matt stared back, pulling Mello closer. He wrapped his arms around his waist now, their bodies against one and other.


'And I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you'

Matt put his forehead against Mello's, and the blond sighed. Why hadn't he noticed the red head's feelings? Let alone his own?

'If I never knew you
I'd be safe but half as real
Never knowing I could feel
A love so strong and true

I'm so grateful to you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Lost forever
If I never knew you'

He tighten his hold on the red head and put his chin over Matt's shoulder. He felt the gamer's arms rub his back in a sweet gesture.

'I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I never knew that fear and hate could be so strong
all they'd leave us were these whispers in the night
But still my heart is saying we were right

Oh if I never knew you
If I never knew you
I would have no inkling of
If our time has gone too fast
How precious life can be...
I've lived at last...'

He looked over to where Nathan had gone and saw the mini-L sitting with Misa's daughter. The little gothic Barbie-doll was laughing as Nathan talked to her and pointed at them. Mello smiled, the little brat had planned this…a chip off the old block…

'I thought our love would be so beautiful
Somehow we'd make the whole world bright
I thought our love would be so beautiful
We'd turn the darkness into light
And still my heart is saying we were right
we were right'

It was at that moment than three things happened at once. The first he noticed was Matt pulling him close enough for their bodies to touch, then himself cupping said red head's face. But the best out of those three was the brush of his lips on his own. He felt such a warm feeling over take his body…chocolate had nothing on this…

'And if I never knew you
If I never knew you
I'd have lived my whole life through
Empty as the sky
Never knowing why
Lost forever
If I never knew you
If I never knew you (oh)
If I never knew you'

Yup, the brat had got them. And really, there was no yelling or hitting or laughing or stupid victory grins, just a smile, a nod, and the ruffling of raven colored hair. But really, for a six year old, that plan was well thought out. So there was no reason to compete anymore. L had a favorite and it was neither him, nor Near, or even his own son; it was Molly, his wife. And since he was Molly's favorite, that, there for, made him the one L smiled at first. He was always and daily spoiled with smiles, pats on the head, "how are you today, Mello?" and of course endless hugs…and he was happy.

Though Near got almost equal treatment, he still felt good, but the rivalry did appear almost every other hour. Like that time Molly was hugging Near before Mello. But if Molly were to start doting on Near, he'd be alright with it. After all, her kid had given him a lover who supplied all the attention and love he could ever need…even when playing video games…

"Mello! Matt!" Molly's voice sang. "Time for lunch!"

Mello licked his lips and hit the lump under the covers. He got up and started to dress as it squirmed and a mess of red hair popped up.

"Ow, what's going on?" Matt groaned.

"Get up and get dressed, lunch time." Mello said and walked out.

Molly turned around as Mello came in and gave him a warm hug.

"Mellers!" She said and put a plate in front of him with a burger and fries, home cooked of course. "I was thinking of making cheesecake tonight, what do you think?"

"Sounds good." Mello said with a smile.

"Can I help make it?" Nathan asked.

"Sure, Nathan honey, go call your father and Near." Molly said with one of her shining grins.

"Yes, Ma'am!" He squeaked and ran off.

"They still working on that case?" I asked.

"Yes, you finished yours rather early today," She said "But you and Matt make a great team, no games at the table, Love."

Matt put his Ds in his pocket as he sat next to Mello. Molly put a plate in front of it and he went at it like a piranha. Molly giggled and turned around as L walked in the room holding his son's hand, Near behind him.

Molly greeted him with a soft kiss and turned to get their plates. Mello's eyes widened when he saw a bump in her lower stomach. He nearly choked on his soda.

"Mello!" Molly exclaimed as Matt patted his back.

A cough "…preg…" another cough.

Molly arched a brow then understood. "Oh! Oh, Honey, we forgot to tell them…"

"Tell them about my baby brother?" Nathan asked.

"Or sister." L added.

Mello almost died. Another Mini-L? So soon? No wonder L was so happy, or as happy as an L could be. But with that fear and somewhat jealousy, came a small sense of joy. Maybe a mini-Molly. Maybe someone that could look up at Mello like how Nathan looked up to Near. He looked at Matt and smiled a bit.

This was life, their life…Molly's mothering, L ever working, Nathan growing, Near taking up space and wasting air trying to help L, (AN: Not nice, Mellers!) Matt's love and noise that came with his games and him, himself, the great dresser Mello, just in the middle of it all.

He sometimes wonders what could have happened to them if L had never met Molly, but he was sure it wouldn't be so different. Who knows? Maybe he could have brought Kira down himself if Molly hadn't sent him to America with her partner for his execution to be carried out. Maybe Misa would get over him too.

But he didn't know, didn't care. This was his life now, and he wasn't about to let it go.
