Cleaning Out My Despair

by: PhoenixJustice

Disclaimer: Death Note is owned by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata; I only own this story and make no profit from this.

Warning: Rated T for language, slashyness, etc.

Pairings: Light/Ryuk, L/Mello, one-sided L/Matt

Setting: During various parts of the series.

Summary: Sometimes you wonder what if, sometimes you only look ahead, and sometimes things go differently than anyone would expect them to.

A/N: These drabbles are a challenge I set for myself; to write a drabble for each song I listened to.

: :: :

Alumina - Mello, L/Mello (band!AU)

He put all of his heart and soul into every song; letting everyone know (letting HIM know) how he truly felt.

Light's theme (Death Note) - Light Yagami

Fallen from grace, he had tried to ascend to something above human. Transcendant. He would become the God that had abandoned them.

What's up People? - Teru Mikami

His scream pierced through, louder than anyone elses; he would make sure that God noticed him.

the WORLD - Light Yagami, Ryuk, Light/Ryuk

With his smarts, and yes, his looks too, he could charm anyone into doing what he wished; even a God of Death.

Psycho - Grell, reference to Kuroshitsuji, Death Note, Bleach, etc (i.e about Shinigami)

He never got along with those other Shinigami types; what part of life was fun if you couldn't maim a person or two?

Alumina - Light Yagami

Sometimes, against his will, his thoughts would stray to the 'what ifs'. Like what if he hadn't ever picked up the Death Note.

Angry Chair - L Lawliet, L/Mello

There were times when his mind wandered against his will; longing to get away and lay in bed with his yellow haired lover.

Billy in Despair - Mello, Matt, Near (Band!AU)

He (Mello) did the vocals and guitar. Matt handles the bass, while Near handled the drums. All in all, a pretty kick ass band was born.

Business - Mello

He zoomed off on his motorcycle, ignoring the sirens blaring somewhere behind him. He had to hurry away from here; even if it cost him his life, he would WIN.

Cleaning Out My Closet - NPA, L Lawliet, Mello, L/Mello

They found handwritten notes written by L after his death. They spoke of a young lover named Mello he left behind.

Kira's theme(from Death Note) - Kira

The unrelenting rain and the ominous chiming of the bells were only the beginning of it all.

I Hate Everything About You - Matt

He was along for the ride, more than happy to help out a friend who had always been there for him.

It's All Over - Matt, L/Mello

He had known about Mello's feelings for L for a long time; if there was one thing Mello was lacking in, was in the art of subtlety.

Just Like You - Matt, L/Mello, one sided L/Matt

He had kept his feelings well hidden, for it was obvious that L preffered Mello over anyone else.

Killing in the Name Of - Light Yagami, L, Mello, Matt, Near

He was surprised in just how much fun it was working on cases with all four of them.

Them Bones - Ryuk

He never ceased to be amused by the struggling of humans; their hopelessness, their anger, their sorrow.
