If I owned Death Note, L, Matt, and Mello would still be alive. Are they? I didn't think so, therefore Death Note is not mine


"Matt, I'm going to go tail one of those Japanese guys. I'll be back later. Keep your eyes open for anything suspicious. We can't afford you fucking something up now." Mello half grumbled, half hissed. He was just mad at the redhead for accidentally restarting his computer, along with all of his equipment, right in the middle of something important the previous day. That had just been a simple accident; there was no need for Mello to get so dramatic. He grunted a goodbye as the other male slammed the door shut.

Matt was seriously fed up with all of his roommate's constant nagging. He'd lived with a girl before, and Mello was even more nagging and demanding than that, and his overall appearance didn't help much when the redhead "accidentally" mistook him for a woman.

Honestly, you'd think we're an old married couple.

That thought made Matt snort a laugh as he leaned forward on the floor, eyes dancing from computer screen to computer screen. Everything was always the same when one of the boys were tailing a Task Force member. What did Mello expect to happen? A person with a floating neon sign that flashed on and off above somebody's head that read THE NEW L AS WELL AS KIRA would walk into the headquarters?

He shot a glance at his main laptop, the only one not running an actual monitor, but held all the software he was currently using. Resiting the temptation of reading those stories had taken a lot out of him, despite the fact that it was only a full forty eight hours since he'd discovered them. Had he told Mello about them yet? No. Would he? Perhaps, when he wanted to die by being strangled by a chocolate wrapper.

Matt let an irritated sigh and the words 'I give up!' fall from his lips as he turned all of his attention onto the one laptop, doubleclicking on the little icon that led to the opening of Mozilla Firefox. Clicking on the address bar, he keyed in the letters, reading only twice to make sure he spelled correctly. When he was sure, he pressed the enter key, much too overexcited about the fact that he was giving into temptation.

Following multiple steps to get to where he wanted to go, Matt finally stumbled upon a page full of linking that led to multiple stories about Mihael Keehl and Mail Jeevas, along with the occasional adding of Nate River and L Lawliet.

Green eyes distorted by orange tinted goggles scanned the summaries, the occasional one leaping out in interest, though he resisted the urge to click on it. There were a lot of people who seemed to know about his entire life, and this made the gamer check frantically behind both of his shoulders, each time noticing a white wall smiling menacingly back at him.

"So it was you! You wrote about all these things under these different names!" Matt yelled to the wall, pointing at it accusingly. True, he had been the third most intelligent kid at Wammy's, but he certainly looked extremely stupid doing what he was doing.

A throaty, quivering laugh escaped from his lips, "Look at me. I haven't even read one of these things and I'm already accusing the wall of these dirty deeds." It seemed like he was simply making fun of what he just did, but Matt couldn't resist the odd urge that he should move to a different place on the floor, taking the computer with him. So, in a matter of seconds, the redhead was in the same position on the floor.. just on the opposite side of the room.

Sighing dramatically, Matt opened up a new tab on his Internet browser and typed in in the address bar. Once the site loaded, he typed in 'cosplayers'. He owed Mello something, didn't he? I mean, he should be nice and tell Mello what those people thought he was. What if a cosplayer was a banana? Yeah, Matt didn't think his roommate would enjoy being called a banana.

"Cosplay, short for "costume play", is a type of performance art whose participants outfit themselves, with often-elaborate and costumes and accessories as a specific character. Characters are usually sourced in various Japanese and East Asian media, including manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, novels, video games, and fantasy books." the male read out loud in a tone that clearly stated bewilderment.

"What the fuck?!" the redhead shouted, cringing as his voice echoed and bounced off the walls. So how did people know who Mello was, but said he was a cosplayer, if cosplayers dress up as characters?! Matt wasn't a character in the Japanese Media and neither was Mello! They were both fully alive and walking and breathing and talking and actually real goddammit!

Clicking on the address bar once more, the website '' was easily typed in, and loaded faster than Matt was used to. In the search bar, his trembling fingertips typed 'Matt and Mello cosplay', and he scrolled through the entire that popped up. "Matt and Mello: Car Wash." he whispered to himself, clicking on the video.

Matt blinked at what came up, literally frozen with shock.One of the people looked like Mello, not exactly like he'd confuse the person with Mihael Keehl but close enough, and the other looked like him except with non-red hair.

How the fuck did these people know what they looked like? How did they know who they were?!

Matt blinked, shaking his head vigorously before he clicked the little red X that shut down his Internet. Too much insanity for him in one day, and it'd only been an hour. He sighed, moving back to his monitors.

"AH SHIT!" the redhead screamed, glaring at one of the monitors. The delivery guy that came to the Japanese girl and Task Force Guy's house was counting a wad of cash, smirking wildly. Matt picked up his ringing cellphone on the floor, listening to an angry Mello on the other end saying how Mogi and Amane were at LAX.

Damn cosplayers and damn fanfiction. Mello would never forgive him for fucking up two days in a row.


Wouldn't you wonder about what Matt was doing when Mello saw Mogi and Misa at LAX in the manga and he was all SHIT THEY GOT ME? WEll, this is my interpretation. XD

I seriously got the cosplay information off of wikipedia.
