DISCLAIMER: I do not own Death Note, nor will I ever.
"L, Mello and Near haven't been getting along worse than usual. …Er, my apologies, I should probably say that Mello hasn't been getting along with Near worse than usual."
"Oh? Is that so, Roger? Hm…"
L sat on the sofa on the other side of the room, a thumb at his lips while he stared at his strawberry shortcake that he'd set on the small table in front of him with a thoughtful expression on his face. His second hand rested on one of his knees, both of which were pulled up against his chest. Roger, meanwhile, was at his desk and trying to ignore the slight irritation he felt at L choosing to take a seat so far away from him. It did make it rather difficult to speak with the raven haired detective, after all.
Roger had scheduled this meeting to discuss what to do about the current situation between Wammy's top two students months ago, but L was an extremely busy man. This was understandable. However, he had just been beginning to lose his patience only because a certain blond had been driving him up the wall more than usual with the way a certain albino was being treated.
Suddenly, L's dark eyes lit up and he glanced towards Roger with a faint smile.
"I have an idea. It did wonders for Light and I."

"L wants you to WHAT?"
Mello's blue eyes were narrowed dangerously at the sight of the handcuffs, his mouth forming a fierce scowl. He respected L greatly, but there was no way that he was going to be freakin' handcuffed to Near!
"I mean no disrespect, Roger, but I must agree with Mello that this is quite a foolish plan. Mello's tormenting of me will surely escalate by nearly a hundred percent."
Mello turned to glare at the albino playing with toys behind him, then swung back around to continue ranting at the man who he really had an urge to punch in the face right now.
"See? I already wanna kill him! Every word out of his mouth just fills me with desire to cause him pain. This will never work!"
"Something must be done about how you two interact with each other, because I'm honestly sick of having to deal with this! If you both behave correctly, then the handcuffs will be removed in only a week. If you do not, however, then you will be stuck chained together until you learn to do so," Roger snapped, suddenly moving forward.
Before either could say or do anything to resist, there was a click sound and they both felt the cold of metal against one of their wrists.
'…When the hell did Roger become so damn quick?' Mello wondered, eyes wide as he stared at his and Near's linked arms. Roger then proceeded to grab them by the shoulders and shoved them out the door, uttering a grumpy sounding farewell as said door was slammed shut after them.
If it weren't for the consequences that he faced, Mello would have beaten the crap out of Near at that exact moment. In fact, he still considered whether or not it would be worth it. In the end, though, he decided that it wasn't. Growling, he began tugging his rival down the hall.
"Mello?"
"Come on, you little twerp! If I'm gonna have to put up with you, then I'm gonna need some chocolate!" he explained, heading in the direction of his shared room with Matt.
'…I somehow doubt there is enough chocolate in the world to keep Mello calm in this situation,' Near thought, frowning slightly as a pale hand reached up to twirl a curl of his pure white hair around one of his dainty fingers while he was practically being dragged to the chocoholic's destination.
Well, he'd find out soon enough.
Good first chapter or no?
