Dinner that night was a jolly affair, with everyone seated around the large table happily eating the roast dinner Light had cooked. Until Mello got everyone's attention. "Guess who's heading to school?" He began smirking. Everyone immediately looked at Near who glared over the transformers fighting over who got to eat the turkey left on his plate.
I'm voting the mouse. Kira commented to Light. Why? Well... who else is that desperate to learn? He bears a good point. :/ Yup! XD He's guessing. Yup! Told you. - -' Uh... Kira? You just contradicted yourself... ... ... DAMN IT! Light moved his plate to the side and banged his head on the wooden table. EARTHQUAKE! ...Actually... Contradict and die. ...eep... Thought so. :3 Light groaned loudly.
"Actually, I still work at the cafe." Near whispered as Optimus Prime won the right to the meat by bashing the Decepticons circuit board in. "I might be promoted soon, why would I choose to attend education?" The smile on his face begged to differ, small and weak but honest. They were all silent.
"Then who is it?" BB managed through a mouth full of mashed potato. Matt began jumping up and down waving an arm. He was ignored. "Well?"
"Memememememememe!" Matt repeated loudly trying to get BB's attention.
"Shut up. Who?" Kira snapped grabbing a bottle of whisky and beginning to drink, ignoring the fact Light was T-Total on L's request.
"Matt." Mello pointed at the red head who cheered childishly at his name.
"...No really, who?"
"Is Matt really going to attend school?" L asked quietly looking at the red head sat next to him. Matt cackled leaning over and hugging L. "Is Matt excited?" L smiled gently at Matt's rapid nodding.
"The goblin army wants me to recruit more soldiers!" Matt's face was proud.
"...Five bucks says he's kicked out in a month." Kira whispered to BB who nodded grinning manically. His ruby eyes seemed to shine in excitement as he looked at Kira. "My room tonight or yours?" Sometimes BB loved having a boyfriend. Near finished his meal and shuffled off with his toys tucked under his arm to his bedroom without another word, ignoring Mello's eyes on his back. He was tired, but of what exactly?

The next day Matt stared at the item in his hand before beaming it and wrapping it around his arm so he was in a grey t-shirt and black jeans with the oddly shaped red rope around his arm. He stepped out to get stopped by Mello. "That's not how you wear a tie, you're meant to wear a shirt and WHAT did you do to your jeans?" Mello listed pointing at the jeans Matt had edited so one leg was shredded and the other reached his knee.
"I have to recruit for the army! I need to look the part!" Matt began to look in a random vase. "Now where's that war paint...?" He pulled out a tin of black shoe polish. "Here it is!" Mello twitched dragging Matt back into the bedroom, annoyed. He should've known better then to think Matt could dress himself.
Two arguments and an attempted stabbing with a water bottle later Matt was being led to a car by Light, the only person in the building who could actually drive, babbling about the annoying blonde who'd kidnapped him after being hired by the orcs. Mello was not amused by this but gave up on convincing Matt otherwise. Now Matt was dressed in a white shirt with a red tie, black trousers and a black blazer with a gold lion sown on the pocket. It suited Matt with his red hair and green eyes, which were hidden behind blue goggles and an aviator hat that looked like it came from WW1. Mello hadn't been able to talk him out of being an idiot it seemed.
This kid's 'special'. Kira complained as Matt began talking happily about going to school. Bet he fails everything. We can't decide if he will or won't Kira, we all need to be supportive. ...What was the school name again? King's school. :) Finally! Someone's useful! My god bans me helping you. - -' Seriously? No, but we can go with it! :) ... ...I give up.
They arrived at the school and Matt got out, smiling at Light as he shouldered his satchel. Light stared. "You're acting... normal." Light managed. Matt placed a finger to his lips smiling before walking off normally, not a cartwheel in sight.
...OMG! ALIENS! MUTANTS! Oo' I can't think of something... Light drove to work trying to get over the fact Matt was acting sane as Matt walked into his assigned tutor room with his small smile.

It was after break Matt kicked off, in English when the teacher asked him to write his name on the board to introduce himself. Matt willingly did so. 01001101 01100001 01110100 01110100. Immediately the teacher demanded Matt write his name.
"I did." Matt grinned evilly as he pointed. "M A T T." The teacher snarled and Matt giggled. "I used my code for the army!" Everyone stared.
"…what…?"
"I'm a soldier for the goblin army!"
"DETENTION!" The teacher screeched.

Lunch was immediately after break and Matt immediately decided his target, the young boy sitting on his own in the corner with a black eye. Matt sat next to him and wrapped a bony arm around his shoulder making the boy drop his fork. "Hiya friend!" Matt sang. The boy barely got a word in before Matt started talking about how the new boy was now his best friend (short of Mello and Near and L and everyone else he lived with) and how it was his job to help Matt with his jobs in the army. The small blonde blinked rapidly behind his large glasses.
"…pardon…?" The boy squeaked. Matt giggled louder hugging him. "W… Wait! I don't… who…"
"I'm Matt and I'm your new friend!" Matt was happy if the blonde wasn't.
"I'm Jason…" Matt's grip tightened. "Can't breathe! Let go you weirdo!"
"NEVA!" Matt yelled dramatically. The blonde blushed as the canteen turned to look at the now disheveled blonde and the happy red head. Matt pulled off his hat and shoved it on Jason. "You're my new friend." Matt's smile was suddenly evil. "Unless you'd rather be my slave." And he meant it to.
"…friend's good. Friend's VERY good…" Jason was smart enough to know when to give up his battles. "…please don't hurt me…" Matt's evil smile never changed.

Matt skipped into the house happily, twirling when out of reach of the wall. "I see Matt's happy." L grinned as Matt paused and bowed. "Did Matt make a friend?"
"Jason's really nice!" Matt laughed. "He's a bit shy and normal but he'll be a great addition to my army!" L chuckled at the red head's excitement.
"Maybe he can come over some time?"
"GET BACK HERE YOU DEVIL IN HUMAN SKIN!" Mello screamed in the back ground. Matt nodded happily as L's phone rang. L answered it twitching until his face brightened.
"Light-Kun." L started smoothly. His face froze. "Misa's sister?" It was common knowledge Misa had an older sister who lived in England to escape Misa's growing fame. "…Dress?" Matt blinked in confusion. "You what!" L almost screeched.

Light snarled in fury at the chuckles from the café customers as he walked, he didn't mind the heels of the chunky shoes people wore with Lolita clothing, he didn't mind the fishnet stockings, what he minded was the maid's dress to his knees with numerous frills and bows in black and white with matching cap. Near had gotten off lucky. HE got actual Lolita! White to be exact with black shoes. And why were they wearing these outfits?
Misa's sister Yumi was crazy.
And not the normal crazy either. She was insane, insisting on all the men cross dressing just for fun. So here was Light. In a dress. Serving coffee. Life didn't get any weirder. Near had it easier since he sorta passed for a feminine man and had taken it in his stride.
I hate that bitch. Kira grumbled as he read his book in the back of Light's mind. What're you reading? Quantum Physics. :3 …what? …If he's smarter than me I'll scream. Cheese! :D Phew. Nice save. Raito eyed Kira who whistled innocently. …He isn't smarter than me… is he? Of course not! I worship the cheese god! You mean chocolate god. Exactly! :D … I'll play along… ¬¬ That guy better not be taking a photo of me. Please don't kill anyone…. TT-TT
"I'm going on break." Light told Near who shrugged. Light turned to walk into the changing rooms and froze seeing red eyes. "BB."
"Hi Light-Kira-kun!" BB sang. He paused. "You're in a dress…"BB was in obvious disbelief.
"SHUT UP!" Light screamed storming past. He ignored the blonde bitch giggling and missed BB paying her a few twenty pound notes. He also missed Near hit someone with a tray for flirting with him.
"I hate this place." Near grumbled irritably.
