"Oh we're here!" he proclaimed then pointed at a large white and red house. I saw a man standing outside the house he had brown hair with long brown rabbit ears pointing out. He wore a red jacket with drown pants. He was walking around to the back of the house.
"Who was that?"
"My father, Light." he smiled and held his ear with his fingers "See I have his ears."
"Why are your's white though? His are the same color as his hair."
"Oh well," his face flushed "its just... something I'd rather not say." he tightened his hand around mine "C'mon hurry!" he pulled me along the path and into the yard of his house. "They all must be in the backyard." he continued to drag me around the house in the same direction his father had gone.
"Is this the one?" I heard a monotone voice asked from behind us.
Matt turned slowly and I followed his eyes to see a man wearing a dark green, black and white suit with a top hat that had a card on one side that said "In this Style 10/6". The man was slightly hunched over and he had jet black hair, wide gray eyes with black bags under them. "Yes." Matt answered.
"Good." he put a finger to his lips "We've been waiting in back for you to return."
"Did you guys make tea?" Matt questioned.
"Yes." he walked pass us into the backyard.
"That's L," Matt explained "hes my human father that I told you about. But c'mon you need to meet Light and my brother." he pulled me all the way to the backyard. Under a large tree a big round table with all sorts of different tea sets was placed under it.
"How many people are you expecting to tea?" I asked.
"Well us then my dads and my brother. Why?"
"There are more chairs and tea sets then you need."
"Well what if someone stops by and wants some?"
"I don't see any other houses around here, who would stop by?"
He shrugged "Why do you have to call me out on this? You invite people then strangers stop by for tea too. Isn't that how you do your tea parties?"
"Not exactly." I've never even had or been to a tea party. We sat down next to each other at the table and for the fist time I noticed a boy with white hair and dark gray mouse ears.
"Near!" Matt exclaimed "I just noticed you."
He looked at Matt then me then back to Matt "You are hilarious today." he twirled some hair in his fingers.
"Mello," Matt nudged me "this is my brother Near. He is a mouse like our grandmother from Light's side." he explained.
"Hi." I waved.
He looked at the tea cup in front of him "Hello." was his simple reply.
"Where did L and Light go?" Matt asked.
"They went inside to get some cakes." he moved a toy robot across the table.
I felt Matt's arm slip around my neck, I saw his other slip in front of me. His hands met on my shoulder and his head leaned against my other one. I tried my best to wrap an arm around his ribs. Looking at his closed eyes I felt my face burn a little. "Oh that's cute." I heard a new voice exclaim followed by a quick shutter of a camera.
I looked to see both of Matt's fathers standing behind Near, Light held a camera and L smiled slightly while holding a tray of cakes and other such pastries, gingerly with his fingers. "That's going to be a keeper." L said.
Matt broke away from me "You guys are so embarrassing!" he laughed and stood up. "This is Mello." I stood up next to him, not sure what else to do.
They walked up to me "He has nice hair." Light poked my head.
"Very nice skin." L noted. "Eyes?"
"I'd say a bluish-gray." Light seemed to be answering L.
"I agree." L said.
"Uhh thanks." I said.
"Do you like sweet things to eat?" L asked me.
"Y-eah."
"How smart are you?" Light asked.
"Um I don't know... really smart."
They both sat down but L sat very strangely with his feet under him like he was afraid his butt would touch the seat. If Light didn't have those rabbit ears I'd swear L was the one from here. I thought while sitting down and shortly after Matt sat down too "How old are you?" Light asked.
"Seventeen."
"You were a lot older when we started dating." he looked at L.
L put a thumb to his mouth "Yes I was twenty-five then and you were eighteen if I remember right."
He nodded "Their age difference seems much more reasonable then ours."
"So what is our world like now? I haven't been there in so long and Matt isn't able to explain well what its like." L asked sounding like he really didn't care.
I shrugged "I wouldn't really know what to say."
"Alright." he placed a cake on his plate picking it up with his pointer and thumb he began to eat it. Strange.
"Can I ask you something?" I referred to Light.
"Yes?"
"How come your ears are the same color as your hair and Matt's aren't?" I could hear Matt coughing at what I asked.
Light smirked "He didn't want to tell you?" I shook my head. "I see. His are white because he is a virgin." I felt my eyes widened a little and I looked at Matt out of the corner of my eyes. "Animals here have different color ears until they lose their virginity." he pulled his ear down "Mine weren't white like Matt's when I was a virgin they were black and you see Near's ears are dark gray."
"That's strange." I looked at Matt; he was looking down at his plate of cupcakes, his face bright pink.
"It may be strange but it really lets you know what your kids are up to." Matt's face went red.
"Yes, I bet a lot of parents wish there was something like that in out world." L said, taking a bite of cake.
"Yeah I could see that." I muttered.
"Are you a virgin?" I heard Near's voice from across the table.
I glared "Why are you asking that?"
"Well you know if my brother is. I think its only fair if he know whether you are or not." What a fucker. From the look on his face it looks to me he is doing this on purpose! All the better reason to be honest with Matt to get back at his ass of a brother.
I turned to look at Matt his face was still red but he looked interested in my answer. "Yes, I am." I grabbed one of his hands with both of mine.
I could hear another snap from the camera. "You two are really cute together." Light said.
