"Mello, Near" Roger informed: "Come to my office now." Mello sighed and agreed, he shot a look at the white haired boy who was shuffling past him and entering Roger's office. Oh joy! What does Roger want now? He sounded serious and somewhat sad. Mello walked into Roger's office to see Roger himself sitting solemnly at his desk and Near sitting on the ground playing with a stupid jigsaw puzzle L gave him. Mello closed the door behind him and walked in; the atmosphere in Roger's office has certainly changed since the last time he was in there. The usual atmosphere of annoyance and exasperation was replaced with sad and somber; as if he was mourning:
"What is it Roger?" Mello asked; afraid of the answer, this wasn't good news at all and he knew that. Roger looked up at the two boys, his head resting on his hand:
"L has died." Roger replied in an emotionless tone; not emotionless that he didn't care but more as if he couldn't believe it. Wammy must of died as well, that's why Roger is like this; Wammy was his best friend after all.
Near gripped the jigsaw puzzles which were in his hand hard, although he didn't say anything and shortly after a few seconds went back to completing his jigsaw puzzle. Mello's heart dropped; he felt sick, no..No, L can't be! Not now! It wasn't fair, just a couple of months ago L said that he was close to completing the Kira case and that he would come back to Wammy's soon to visit everyone, especially Mello and Near. And now he has been killed?
"L is dead?" Mello managed to say, his voice shocked and unsure; he felt his sorrow build into anger:
"But how?!" Mello demanded, he slammed his hands on Roger's desk, he demanded answers. Roger didn't reply he just grumbled something that Mello didn't catch. Mello leaned over Roger's desk and peered at Roger:
"Was it Kira?" Did Kira do it?!" Mello demanded;
"Come on Roger you've got to tell me?!" Mello's voice sounded desperate, he needed to know, he just needed to, to avenge L!
"Probably" Roger muttered, Mello leaped forwards and grabbed onto Roger pulling him closer to him:
"But he promised me he would find Kira and execute him! And now your telling me that he's been killed?" Mello said as if he didn't believe what he was hearing; he didn't want to of course. His tone of voice was shocked and let down. Roger looked at Mello, the boy certainly couldn't control his emotions well at all, was he going to hit him?
"M-Mello!" Roger exclaimed; suddenly Roger and Mello heard the piece of Near's jigsaw fall to the ground. Mello let go of Roger and turned around to see Near holding the jigsaw board over his head. Near set the board down again and started to do the puzzle all over again:
"If you can't win the game" Near began, putting the jigsaw pieces together; Mello stared at him, anger flowing through his veins; he knew was aiming this at him even if Near wasn't even looking at him: "If you can't solve the puzzle, then your just a loser" Near finished; Mello groaned, how dare Near call L a loser. Mello turned back to Roger:
"So" He declared banging his fist on Roger's desk; "Which of us did L pick? Me or Near?" Mello's tone of voice was so demanding it was scary, although there was a hidden tone of sorrow and pain mixed in as well. Roger stared at Mello for a second, his face was serious and somewhat pitying:
"He hadn't chosen yet" Roger said, he then looked down and closed his eyes: "And now that he's gone I'm afraid he wont be able too."
Mello stood still for a couple of seconds with an expression filled with shock, sadness and anger:
"Tsk!" Mello declared angrily, but more to himself than to anyone else. Roger looked up at him:
"Mello" He said, Mello didn't like the tone of his voice; not one bit: "L told me that if he hadn't decided who would succeed him, that he wished that the two of you would work together, using your unique abilities and both be L." Roger finished; he smiled up at Mello. Mello's eyes opened wide, no, this is the worst thing ever! He couldn't possibly turn down L's wish could he? No, no, no he couldn't be disrespectful like that. He had to put up with that kiss ass little--
"That's sound good" Near replied, Mello turned around and glared at him; well of course Near would of agreed to this; he's an ass that way. Near will just give him orders and expect Mello to do them right away, at the drop of a hat, like a dog or something! Wait that's it! A dog! He can't go without him, no way in hell was he going to leave him:
"Be right back!" Mello declared before he ran out of the room. Roger could hear the blond boy running up the stairs, Roger turned around to face Near; who had finished his jigsaw puzzle and he was starting it again, for what was the third time:
"Near, do you have any idea where Mello ran off too?" Roger asked, although it was in Mello's nature to be reckless Roger still often worried about the boy, this was big news and he shouldn't go running around the orphanage:
"The blond brat needs his loyal mutt" Near replied: "Just wait he'll be back soon enough."

Matt leaped onto his bed and grabbed his DS and started to play Phoenix Wright with his left hand; as his right hand got a cigarette out of his pocket. He paused the game momentarily and lit up the cigarette inhaling the sweet, sweet fumes. He unpaused his game again and begin to play; using both hands this time as the cigarette was set in his mouth.
Ah bliss, pure bliss. It was lovely and quiet and just what he nee-- Suddenly the door burst open and Mello came running in. So much for peace and quiet, Matt paused his game and looked at Mello. Mello opened his mouth and was about to shout something; but then he noticed the cigarette dangling from Matt's lips:
"Get rid of it!" Mello demanded. Matt rolled his eyes and put out his cigarette, as soon as he did Mello grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him closer to him, Matt could feel Mello's hot, chocolate scented breath on his face:
"L is dead!" Mello exclaimed, his tone was more painful as he was now alone with Matt. Matt's face dropped, no, now Mello would become L and would have to leave him and he will be all alone. Well at least Mello would be happy:
"So" Matt began: "Who's L? You or Near?" Matt asked; Mello glanced at him for a second before sighing and dropping his head, he felt ashamed and angry at the words he was about to say:
"We both are, L wanted us to work together if he had died before he got a chance to decide, It was his wish, I have too" Mello's voice sounded like he had given up on life; Matt's heart dropped, no, Near and Mello together, alone at times? No, no:
"No!" He said out loud, Mello looked up at him and raised his eyebrow at his redheaded companion, Matt turned scarlet, shit! He didn't mean to say that out loud. Mello pulled Matt into a quick embrace; making the redhead turn even redder, if that was even possible. Mello pulled away and looked at Matt; he managed a weak smile:
"Remember that promise I made you?" Mello asked, Matt looked at him and smiled slightly as well:
"The one where you said you will never leave me?" Matt replied, how could he forget a promise like that one:
"Yeah! Good you remember!" Mello exclaimed grabbing Matt's hand: "Let's go!" The blond declared pulling the redhead with him out of their room and running down the hallway, Matt was tripping and stumbling because of Mello running at an extremely fast pace and yanking Matt because he was too slow:
"What are we doing? Where are we going?" Matt asked, remember his poor DS lying paused on his bed. Why was Mello acting so..Oh yeah.L.
"I don't know what will happen" Mello said breathlessly: "But we're going to be together!"
