" WAKE UP RIGHT NOW AND MAKE ME SOME PANCAKES! "

Light wished he was only dreaming. He didn't want to hear that right now when he was so tired. Last night at work was something so exhausting that Light wanted to sleep for decades.

" PANCAKES! PANCAKES! " Mello's demanding voice sounded even louder when Near ran to the bedroom.

" You're gonna make pancakes? I want them too! " he said happily.

" Love, pancakes sound nice, could I have them with vanilla sauce? " L murmured still half asleep.

" You guys don't leave me any choice, do you? " Light sighed.

" No ", they all said, smiling, L still snoring a bit. Light stood up and slowly dragged himself to the kitchen.

----------------

" Mello, you put those eggs down! Near, don't even think about it! Mello! Near! Stop it! NOW! " Light was doing his usual tasks trying to make Mello and Near not to kill each other.

" No pancakes for anyone if this madness doesn't stop right now! " he yelled. The whole house fell silent.

" Sorry, dad ", Near sighed and gave his best puppy eyes. Mello grabbed a piece of chocolate and started to open it.

" No chocolate before breakfast-- " Light started when he saw L walking in to the room, eating the same kind of a chocolate bar Mello just had.

" You too, mister! " Light tried to hide his laughter, failing miserably.

-----------------

They were munching their pancakes silently, L reading newspaper, when Near decided to speak.

" Hey dad, I saw Mello reading porn magazines yesterday! " Near announced brightly.

" No you didn't! " Mello shouted in shock.

" Who reads them anyway? " L wondered while finishing his last pancake.

" WHAT! Where did you get those? " Light asked, trying to be as calm as possible. Sure Mello was in the middle of his puberty and Light knew this day will come sooner or later, but this was a little shock anyway.

" I didn't, really, or I mean, I'm...I mean...I was...investigating! " Mello said in panic. Light, L and Near stared him and soon started to laugh.

" Oh yeah, little porn detective, did you find any clues? " Near shouted, laughing at Mello's bright red face.

" No, seriously, I mean.. " Mello tried but all in vain. His whole family was almost rolling on the floor.

" Seriously speaking, Mello, please tell me where did you got them ", Light said, wiping tears from his eyes.

" Found them. " Mello said shyly, knowing that soon he'll be in serious trouble.

" From where? " Light said realizing instantly that his and L's little stash of naughty stuff was found.

" ...Promise not to kill me? "

" Maybe ", Light said, trying to not let his face turn red.

" From your bedroom. "

L dropped his fork to the floor in shock. That was truly something he didn't want to hear. He wanted to ask what else Mello had found, but couldn't really force the words out before Near started.

" Reeealllly! What else was there? "

" Near, go to your room. " L and Light said.

" What? What have I done? " Near shouted in shock.

" Mello, we need to talk. " Light said and glanced at L.

------------------

After Near had gathered all his toys and slowly walked in to his room, Mello felt this was probably the most awkward moment of his short life. And what he could tell about the look on L's face, his life wouldn't be any longer than this.

" Mello, did you find something else there? " L asked.

" Well...yeah, of course I did, you should know. " Soon Mello noticed that this is the situation he couldn't get away with denying.

" Was there anything that could have brought questions to your mind? " Light asked without really knowing any answers to any questions Mello could have had.

" Yes, but I'm absolutely sure I don't wanna know anything about them. " Mello stated.

" Do you find those things...well...weird? Scary? " L tried, but Mello shook his head.

" No, I'm not scared of those things actually, but I just don't wanna imagine you guys using them. " Mello said quietly.

" I know what you're talking about. This isn't the easiest subject, but Mello, I bet you realise that when somebody loves someone very, very much he wants to keep that someone...well...happy. Satisfied. And we all have our own ways to achieve that...satisfaction. You know. You don't need to know about my ways, your father's ways and we don't need to know about your ways. Those things are not used to hurt anyone. These things are private and they should be shared only with that special someone you'll find some day. Right? " Light smiled.

Mello was relieved. So was L. Light always found the right words to say whenever their children had something in their bright minds.

" So...no punishment this time? " Mello smirked and jumped in to Light's lap.

" If you promise not to tell Near about anything you saw there. If you tell, then there'll be no chocolate for the rest of the week. " Light said. L almost choked. That was almost the cruelest possible punishment he could ever think about. Mello nodded and hugged Light warmly.

So, this is my first fic ever. I'm still pretty amazed that I really wrote this. :D

English isn't my first language, so grammar mistakes, spelling errors and weird sentences are more than possible.

I don't own Death Note and that truly breaks my heart.
