Matchmaking
You never know who you will fall for. — Various pairings.

Introduction.
"L, what are you doing?" Light asked and sipped on his hot tea. Not that he really was curious, but L was not the one to sit still a whole day.
Not while just staring blankly at the computer screen for the least.
"Come closer, Light-kun, I think this will interest you," L said.
Light blinked. It was not often L decided to share what he did to Light, in fact, it never happened. So this was interesting, Light mused, and looked over L's right shoulder to the bright screen of the laptop.
Light blinked again when he noticed exactly what L wanted to show him.
Wait, what?
Online dating?
"L, this could not be—"
"In fact, this is exactly the matter I want to discuss with you, Light-kun."
"Matter?"
"See, our romantic lives are not exactly blossoming. Not that I feel the need to bond, but I guess it can be a interesting experience for both of us."
"But why do I have to be involved?" Light wanted to know.
L moved his thumb to his lips, dark eyes glued to the screen. "Light-kun does not have a partner, does he?"
Light did not like where this was going. "Well, no, but it's not like I can't get a girlfriend if I want."
"Of course not, Light-kun, but this site even considers the members' interests and views on relationships in general. In fact, it can pair us with members with personalities that nicely match our owns."
"Do you honestly believe this shit?"
"No," L admitted, "however, I think this can be a good amount of entertainment."
"So," Light said and narrowed his brown eyes, "that's the problem? You're bored?"
"Yes, Light-kun, I am and as you don't seem to give me the entertainment I rightfully deserve, I need to consider this."
"Thanks," Light muttered.
Working with L for a year had learned Light that there was impossible to change L's decisions. Or trying to argument with him. It was like talking sense to a rock.
"Besides, when Light-kun has chosen his potential partners, he seems to be extraordinary bored. Remember Misa-san? She bored you, didn't she?"
Light signed before bringing the white cup to his lips again. "Don't remind me. But I still think this is a bad idea. I don't want to go to dates, I want to focus on my work."
"Relaxing is good for you, Light-kun."
"Comes from Mr Workaholic himself."
"The point is, that you cannot refuse this offer. Either you sign in to this site, or you will have to kiss me."
Light nearly dropped his cup. "What?"
"I do not like to repeat myself, Light-kun."
Working with L was utterly torture, Light decided, but L paid him—what was there to do?
Maybe L was right, maybe he did need this.
Given that Light did not want to spend the rest of his life with Misa. He did not.

"I'm bored," Matt complained.
"Go play video games," Mello said and unwrapped a bar of chocolate with his gloved fingers.
"I don't want to play video games."
"Are you sick?"
"Shut up," Matt snared, leaning further back in the bed, red hair against a white, fluffy pillow.
Mello leered and licked on his chocolate. "I have an idea."
"What? That we should bake a chocolate cake for you?"
"No, dumbass. We should try matchmaking."
Matt started at the blond. "Dude, are you that desperate? I'm sorry."
"Fuck you. It could be fun. And you are bored, aren't you?"
"Er, yes?"
"Then what the hell is the problem? Let's sign in on that stupid site we have heard so much about and let the fun start."
"Wow, Mels, I will never know where I have ya, will I?"
Mello grinned and punched Matt lightly—for being Mello—on the stripped shoulder. "Hell no."

Near looked at the screen before him.
A whole world spread its information in front of him.
Romance. Friends. Socializing. All these things were new to him.
Or not new, but foreign. Near knew them but never used them.
Maybe he should try?
What did he have to lose?

NA: Should I be doing this? No. But I will. I cannot resist.
This is a request fic, where you readers have to decide which two characters of Death Note that are gonna meet and spend some time together. I think I can tackle everything you can come up with but keep in mind that I'm going to be a little realistic here. If you for some reason want to see Light and Watari together for a evening, they are not going to be romantically involved, as that is not realistic (and I don't think you want to see that.) Also, I can make the same pair of characters have two or three meetings together, but there will be no fun if like Mello and Matt are the only one that gets page-time.
What you need to do to get a fic written for you:
Firstly, write the one you want to see. Let's for an example take L and Light (oh yeah, even the two that work together can be paired up. ;))
Secondly, what will they do? I will only accept one thing per couple; like a dinner somewhere, clubbing, go to the zoo, use your fantasy here. I would really appreciate if you could come up with the place, but otherwise, I can try too.
And lastly, if you want, mention up to three things you want the characters to do. For example, if you want a kiss, tell that to me. Hug, a specific comment, whatever. Keep in mind that I will not make every chapter extremely large, as I cannot always write (gasp), or that it otherwise will take forever for get your piece out. Also, this is rating T but if you really want, I can add a little lemon, just telling at the top of that chapter that just this chapter will be M-rated, or have hints of M-rated material.
Wow, this will be longer than the introduction.
One final thing, when I feel like I cannot do anymore requests, or that I want to finish this story, I will tell you that in a chapter, so that you won't be giving me any more suggestions. I will (try) to write every requests, but keep in mind that my writing comes in periods and that I have to write other projects that I have NOT abandoned yet.
Hope you like this idea :)
