Summary: Once upon a time, in the world where Death Note and Shinigami never existed... Matt x Mello, onesided Matt x Near, other various pairings

Author's note: Near is not an emotionless sheep here and I don't think I have good sense of humor

"Shit!" Matt smacked the scripts on his hands to the floor. "I can't freaking do this!" He sat on the sofa, smashing his butt down forcefully and put both of his hands on his head. "Nothing comes into my mind! Tomorrow is the shooting, isn't it?"

"Yeah." Near nodded while playing with his hair.

Name: Near
Age: 16

"Neaaaarrr... what should I do?" Matt barked.

"Keep on memorising, I guess." Silence. "The clock's ticking, Matty." Near pointed at the clock, 22:00.

"You're not helping, you know? Damn you, sheep."

"Dog."

"Albino."

"Pirate." (A/N: FYI, usually pirates got red hair)

"NEEAAARRR!" Matt jumped and put the other guy in playful headlock.

"FAR!" He tried his best not to laugh and shoved Matt away.

"Anything new in school? Haven't been there for a week." The redhead sat beside Near.

"No, not really. But you do have a lot to catch up with."

"I hate how you're so smart. Even got in the same grade as me even though you're only 16."

"And get better marks than you in everything."

"Shut up." Matt stood up and picked his script up again. "Be my partner."

"W-what?"

"Come!" He took Near's arm and dragged him to the middle of the living room. "I'll pass you the script. Here, you'll take the role as Julia."

"But Matt-"

"Near, you said you're better than me in everything."

"You're a star, Matt. I'm nothing."

"Whatever, you Einstein. Just go with the script!"

"Fine!" Near snatched the papers on Matt's hand. "We can't go on like this. My parents will find out sooner or later..."

Matt tried his best not to burst out laughing when he hear Near's emotionless and monotone voice. He bit his lower lips and stored all of his breath on his throat. He then pretended to cough. "Julia... If I run away, will you come with me?"

"S-sure, Tom... If it's really the best for us..."

"NEAR, YOU'RE NOT HELPING!" Matt laughed and burried his face on the sofa. "You suck!"

"I'm just trying to be nice here!" He shouted, throwing a pillow that has been sitting on the sofa for eternity to Matt's back. "Cut it out, Matt! I just need more training, okay?"

"I don't think you'll make it even if you practice a lot. You suck!" He wiped the tears behind his googles and trying to stop because his stomach starting to hurts.

"How rude! I hope you get kicked out tomorrow!"

Matt's laugh ceased as time goes by, until he could catch his breath again, and sighed. "That was hillarious. Somehow, I remember the whole script already."

"Thanks to me."

"No way in hell." As he said that, Near took the pillow back and smacked Matt.

"Good job, people!" The director said, patting Matt on his back. "Especially you!"

"Thanks, I go through a lot of fun when I play this scene." The redhead smiled, sliding the google back to cover his eyes. "When will we have our next shoot?"

"Not tomorrow. Mikami takes a day off."

"Lazyass."

"Haha! Keep the good work up for me!" He said, headslapping Matt playfully but it hurts anyway. Then, the bald director walked away.

"For you in hell." Matt sticked his tongue out. "Bald director."

"Matt, good act today!" Misa approached. "Even better than yesterday! I like it how you laughed in the middle part! It was so real!"

Matt chuckled. He managed to laugh so realistically because he recalled Near's sucky act. "I got a really good solution to do that."

"Oh wow." Misa squealed lightly. "Hey, I heard that you and Halle go out together now!"

"Fuck that gossip. No way I'll go out with her."

"Why not? She's a model, pretty too!"

"Still, I don't like her." Matt put his hands on his pocket and put his fluffy vest on. "So, how's Light doing?"

"Don't talk about him! Can you imagine he actually dated Ryuuzaki?" Misa frowned. "Misa's waaaayy better than him."

Matt slapped his hands on his mouth straightaway, covering his laugh. "Right, so true. Anyway, I got something to do. Near's probably out there to pick me up. See you!"

"Gosh. Who is that beside Near? So beautiful. He wore trousers, he's a guy then? God. So... breath-taking. Look at that golden shiny hair and slim figure..." Matt stared.

"Matt, you okay? MATT!" Near slapped the redhead's face.

"Fuck, Near, you abused me!"

"I don't really care. Anyway, this is Mello, a new student."

"Wait... isn't this... Matt? The really famous actor? Who starred in the 'Bang-Boom' movie? I admire him. To think that Near has a connection with this guy is unbelievable..." Mello stared. "H-hi." He shook Matt's hand. "Nice to meet you..."

"M-Mello, isn't it?" Both of their hands trembled. "Nice to meet you t-too..."

"So... you're Matt..."

"Yeah." Matt acted cool.

"Awesome." Mello pretended to cough. "Hope we get along then?"

"Mmhm." The redhead nodded.

"Matt, do you have anything to do now?" Near cut in.

"No, not really. I have a day off tomorrow. Mikami's out."

"Cool." Near responded. "Better get in disguise before any fangirl comes and attack you like a mad bull."

"Thanks to remind me. But please don't include that incident next time. That was so unpleasant."

"Yeah, she hugged you."

"And I thought I'm gonna die of suffocation." Matt grinned and put his caps on. "Wanna go to the city, Near?"

"Up to you."

"M-Mello, you're coming with us?" Matt asked hesitately. Mello nodded and walked close to Matt's side. "So, what school you attend before our current one?"

"Our?"

"Oh, I go to that school too. Just not too often."

"W-wha-" My... gosh. He attended Wammy's High? "I'm an overseas student. Originally from Russia."

"I see. I like your hair colour, by the way. Is it highlighted?"

"No. This is my real one." Mello tried to act casual. "When will your new movie comes out?"

"I'm not sure... probably next month." Matt answered, tried his best not to stare at Mello's hair. "Why did you come here?"

"Family business."

"Gonna stay here long?"

"Don't know. Probably six months."

"Oh."

"Guys, I don't like being ignored." Near tugged Matt's stripy shirt.
