Chapter 7: Action

"I came here to make you dance tonight, I don't care about my guilty pleasure for you!" Matt sang under his breath as he walked into the living room the next morning.

"'Sup." He greeted, sliding in place beside Mikami.

"Good morning. Don't you have class?" The glasses boy asked, looking over from the TV.

"Nah, Professor just e-mailed me, and said that my Alternative Theater class is canceled due to him being sick. What about you?" he asked, stiffing a yawn.

"My earliest class is at noon." Mikami said, looking around. "Where are your friends?"

"Class. Near has some Western Esoteric tradition class, and Mello has Identity, Equality and Diversity. We all have Math at noon though." Matt said, getting up to grab a bowl of cereal. "You want anything?"

"No thanks." The older boy said, leaning against the couch, annoyed.

"What's with you?" The redhead asked, sitting back down, Frosted Flakes in a bowl.

"Nothing." Mikami said, pouting.

"Okay then." Matt smiled, letting the topic go. Obviously, Mikami wasn't much of a people person.

"Does Light actually like L?" Mikami asked a few minutes later, his eyes still trained on the television.

"That depends on what you wanna hear. If you want the truth, then they did fuck at Misa's party, and I think I heard them making out in Light's room last night." Matt said, looking up from his Frosted Flakes.

"Waaaaahhhh?" The glasses boy asked, his mouth wide like a fish.

"Hey, the truth hurts, buddy. At least you got Gevanni, no?" the redhead said, reaching over to pat Mikami's shoulder.

"Hn." Mikami grunted, and walked back to his room, a sad look on his face.

"Okay then. Tell Mel and Near that I'm at Starbucks when they get here." Matt said as he left, backpack and Nintendo DS in hand.


"MAAAATTT, you there?" Mello called as he entered the dorm, looking around for the redhead gamer.

"Matt is at Starbucks." Mikami said, poking his head out of his room.

"Thanks. See ya." The blonde turned around, raising a hand up in goodbye.

"Yeah, don't care about me." The black haired boy sniffled, locking his door again.

"Hey Mello." Light said as he entered the dorm. "Mikami? You alright?" he asked, knocking on the door. "I thought I heard sobs."

"I-I'm alright, Light." Mikami smiled, trying to act like nothing was the matter.

"What happened?" the brunette asked, sitting on the older's bed.

"Nothing." He said, smiling softly at his crush,"I am fine, Raito, really."

"Alrightie, then." Light said, standing up. "But if you ever need anything, I'm here for you."

"Thank you." Mikami smiled, his eyes wide with glee.

"No prob. Tell L that I'm waiting for him outside the Law building, m'kay?" The Japanese said, waving as he exited.

"Waahhh, I haaattteee ELLLLL!" Mikami sobbed.


"Hey, Matt!" Misa called, smiling at the redhead.

"'Sup Misa. Hey Takada." Matt greeted, leaning against the wall of the Starbucks, iced caramel Frap in hand.

"Hi." Takada said, giving Misa a look before stepping into the Starbucks.

"Soo, what class do you have next?" the redhead asked, taking a sip from his Frappucino.

"Choreography! I'm a great dancer, you know!" Misa twirled around, giggling.

"Yeah, I know." Matt said, smiling at the blonde.

"Ahaha, ohh, Matty, you are adorable!" Misa giggled, fluttering her eyelashes.

"Thanks." the redhead said, blushing slightly.

"I got your White chocolate mocha, Misa." Takada said as she walked out of the Starbucks, handing the iced coffee to her friend.

"Thanks Taki!" she smiled, hugging her friend.

"No prob. I'll talk to you later, I have class in 10." the short haired girl said, leaving the two alone.

"Oh, I see Mel and Near. Later, Misa!" Matt said, turning to walk away from the blonde.

"Don't I get a hug?" Misa pouted and Matt laughed, turning around.

"Here. Bye." he said, wrapping his free arm around the girl's middle.

"Later." she smiled, her arms around his neck.


"Hey Matt!" Mello smiled, and Near waved.

"Hey. How long until our next class?" Matt asked, shifting his weight.

"An hour. Let's go grab food, I'm hungry." Near said as the trio walked to the caf.

"Of course." The redhead smiled, walking towards the crowded servery.

"Soo, how were your classes?" Matt asked when they sat down at an empty table half an hour later.

"Interesting." Near said, taking a bite out of his salad.

"Fucking boring." Mello yawned, taking a sip of water.

"Gawd, in front of you two I feel like a fat ass! You eat nothing but salad, and you eat only chocolate and water! And I'm like binging on junk!" The second oldest said, sighing.

"I'll make sure you don't get the Freshman 15, Mattie." Mello assured him, before taking the redhead's slice of pizza and taking a deliberate bite. "Mmmm, not bad."

"Thanks. Yeah, they make pizza better in town. You want some, Near?" Matt asked, offering the food to the white haired boy.

"I'll take some of that." Near smiled, ripping off a piece of pizza.

"How bad is it?" Mello asked, looking like he hoped Near would either a) choke or b) get poisoned by the fatty food.

"Not bad." the youngest admitted, before returning to his salad.

"We have Math next." Matt sighed.

"Oh, Matt, remember that we have to finish that bio chemistry paper." Near said, looking up.

"We're half done, right?" the redhead asked, chewing his food.

"Yes, we just need some more things to add. I'm sure it'll only take a few hours." the genius boy said.

"Ugh, don't remind me. I have to work with the sheep's groupie. God, you'd think she'd have some taste!" Mello sighed, taking a rough bite of chocolate.

"C'mon, we'll be late." Matt said as he stood up to dump his tray.

"Let's get going, I'm fucking tired." yawned the blond, as he and Near jogged to catch up with the redhead.


"Hello, L here." L said as he answered his phone.

"Hi L." the voice on the other line said, and the black haired boy sighed, leaning against the wall outside the dormitory.

"What is it, B? I have class in 10 minutes." he said, looking around in case anyone bothered to show up.

"I was just calling to ask if you got the message I left." his brother said, and L closed his eyes.

"Yes. You'll be visiting on Saturday, right?" L asked, as he started to walk towards his classroom.

"Of course, Lawli." B laughed, and L rolled his eyes.

"Don't call me that, Beyond." he said, as he walked into the Physics building.

"I might come Friday night, just to tell you. Depends on how bad traffic is from London." the other said as L sat in his seat beside Light. He waved a hello to his boyfriend, and sighed.

"Ok, I have class now. See you in a few days, BB." L said, looking up to see if the teacher walked in yet.

"I'll see you soon, Lawli." B said, and hung up.

"Who was that?" Light asked as soon as L slid his phone in his pocket.

"My half-brother. He will be visiting this weekend." The slightly older of the two said.

"Oh, B is coming? He's in London now, right?" Light asked, making taking out a pen and paper.

"Yes." L nodded, before taking out his own materials.

"Soo, how is he?" Light asked quietly.

"He is fine, but you knew B since we were in high school." L said, and the caramel haired boy nodded. He knew that B had a weird sort of obsession with L. B and L shared a mother, but they had different fathers. The two were born a year apart, and somehow ended up looking alot alike.

They both had white skin, and black hair. Their main difference was the eyes. L's were like a deep pool of melted charcoal, while B's were a deep, almost black, burgundy colour. L was the older, and B was younger.

The two decided to go to different universities, B in the University of London with his lover A, and L in the university of Winchester with his best friend Light.

"Is he coming Saturday?" the brunette asked, leaning back against his chair.

"Or late Friday." L answered.

"Does he know about us?" Light asked after a few minutes.

"No." the black haired boy answered.

"Do you want him to know?" the other asked.

"Let him figure it out on his own, Light." L said, and Light nodded.

"Fine. Don't forget to warn the others." he added.


"Okay, Near. Let's get cracking on this research!" Matt said, as he sat beside Near in the playroom. Their laptops were plugged into the walls, and textbooks, pens, paper and their notes littered the floor.

"Alright." Near nodded, as he typed something into Google.

"We have a lot of work to do!" sighed the redhead, as he started typing out their essay.

"Sadly, yes." Near sighed, as he continued jotting out notes, and handing them to Matt to type up.

"Soo, Near, what time is it?" Matt asked a few hours later, yawning.

"It is midnight. We still have a few pages to write." the younger said apologetically.

"Fuck that." the other said as he continued typing.

"How?" Near asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Haha, yeah, good point!" Matt laughed, as he continued with the assignment.


"Takada, how long do you think I should keep going with this flirting thing?" Misa asked her friend as she lay on her bed, kicking her legs up.

"Until he shows some interest." Takada replied, smiling. "Really, Misa, it won't be long!"

"Thanks! D you think I should ask him out, or should he ask me?" she wondered, looking up at the ceiling.

"He should ask you. That would really make Light jealous." the short haired girl assured, putting an arm on Misa's shoulders.

"I know! Hmm, do you think he'll take me back?" Misa asked, turning on her back to smile widely at Takada.

"Of course! Guys don't know what they have until it's gone!" the girl lied, a fake smile still on her face. 'Why does my friend have to be such a goddamn idiot? She can't make a gay guy return her love!'

"Thanks, Taki! I love you!" shrieked the blonde as she glomped her friend.

"No problem." Takada said, hugging Misa back.


Two am found Matt and Near lying on the floor of the playroom, asleep. Their essay had been finished about an hour ago, and the two had collapsed from exhaustion.

"Matt, Near?" Gevanni called as he looked inside the playroom. The sleeping boys didn't even move an inch.

'How cute.' the dorm adviser thought, as he placed a pillow under Matt and Near's heads, and covered the two with blankets.

"Good night." he said, closing the door.

Mikami is a bit OC, sorry. But he's so cute though, to me at least xD

Sorry for the late update, but this week was test week, meaning everyday I had like 3 tests. Yes, it is a pain in the ass.

I'll update a bit more often over the next few days, it's just that I hit this weird lull in my story. Like, I have chapter 12 onwards all planned out, but ch. 7-11 is like WTF should I do?

Don't worry, I'll still keep updating weekly! My goal is to finish this story maybe by Mid-May, so I can take a break to study for exams. If I don't finish by mid-May, then you should expect updates every few weeks, sorry.

But why am I talking about the future? Ahaha, sorry, I'm sleep deprived. And I'll shut up now!

Please review?
