Hello Peoples- Got a new name, just in case you didn't read the Author's Note! Not Norrington.Lover anymore!!
After the story is a special announcement; so please don't forget to read it.
I don't own Death Note, just the plotline. I also don't own Titanic, which belongs to James Cameron.
I wish I owned Mello, who isn't even in this story. -.-
There's nothing sadder in life, then being stuck at home on a Saturday night with nothing to do. What's even more depressing is a man being stuck alone on the weekend. For Matsuda Touta, this had become the weekly routine. While the other NPA members were out partying, drinking, and picking up members of the opposite sex; Matsuda was stuck in his living room with a bowl of cereal. Spooning soggy spoonfuls of Raisin Bran into his mouth, the young man frowned as a online dating commercial came on his TV.
"I wonder if that site actually works," He mused aloud, watching as a young couple embraced lovingly, "I mean, what if you were matched with a total nutcase who just escaped from jail? That can't be good..."
Matsuda had never been very lucky in love sadly, which he regretted everyday. He dreamed of finding a woman who one day he could show off to his family; a woman his older brothers would die for, and girl his sisters would envy. Until now, there hadn't been anyone that had ever caught his eye, but things had certainly changed.
From the beginning, Misa Amane had been strictly Light Yagami's. The devotion Misa showered over Light was immense, and it was evident her love was pure and unadulterated. Light's affection towards the young woman though, wasn't as pure. Shocking revelations surfaced when Light had met with Kiyomi Takada, a news reporter, and admitted openly his feelings for her. Both had died soon later however, which Matsuda thought was a fitting end to such evil characters.
Afterwards, Near gathered the last remaining members of the task force, and related more information to them. Matsuda had been very shocked to hear of Misa being the second Kira at one point; but was relived that she had no relocations of what she had done. When he had finally gone to meet her after months of going without speaking with her, Matsuda was very surprised indeed to find such a changed woman. However, over the course of some time, Misa went back to her ordinary self; and seemed to forget Light. Now she was spending more time with her investigation job alongside Near; which made Matsuda a little jealous. Then again, why did he have to feel jealous? Near was a scrawny little kid who looked as if he had never reached puberty; and had a strange obsession with toys. Matsuda was a man with lots of experience, and knew how to use a gun. Women liked that aspect of him, it made them feel safe. What could Misa not like about him?
"That's it!" Matsuda cried, standing up from his seat. Reaching for his cell phone, he scrolled thru his contacts before coming to a particular woman's number. Smiling to himself, Matsuda waited as the phone began dialing and then was picked up.
"Misa! Hello!" He said excitedly.
"Oh, hi Matty...um...listen...this isn't really a good time-"
"Nonsense! It's the perfect time! Listen, I wanna do something with you Misa-Misa! How about a movie?" Matsuda asked.
"Um...that sounds good...but..."
"The drive in! Perfect! It's a retro date! I hear there are some great movies playing down there!"
"Matty, that sounds great and all...But I don't know if I can go or not...I'm in a bit of a dilemma-" Misa was yet again cut off by Matsuda.
"Now now, I know how women can be shy! I won't take no for an answer! What ever little problem you're having you can bring to me and I'll sort it out for you! Bye!" Matsuda said.
"But Matty...!"
"Bye!" Matsuda hung up his cell phone and let out a deep breath. Finally, he had asked out the woman of his dreams! Score one for him!
However, in his deep excitement, Matsuda had neglected to notice he had spilled his bowl of cereal all over his new black leather couch.
"Aw man!" He groaned, running into the kitchen for paper towels.

Matsuda leaned against the side of his new black SUV; which he happened to be very proud of. The drive in was very packed, but being an officer had certain perks; such as getting the front row seat in front of the giant movie screen. He had already bought lots of snacks for them, and everything was perfect. Nothing would go wrong tonight! In fact Matsuda had consulted Aizawa for tips on wooing a woman. Aizawa was less then thrilled about being called to be asked about seducing women, but offered some good advice.
"Compliment her has much as possible. Try to make her laugh. Hold her hand during scary parts of the movie. Check and check!" Matsuda recited, quickly jotting down the tips on some post it notes he had bought. Suddenly a black limo pulled up alongside his SUV, and Matsuda watched as Misa stuck her head out of the limo.
"Misa-Misa! I'm so glad you're here! I've been waiting for-wait a second...What the frig?!" Matsuda cried. Misa had fully emerged out of the limo, dragging along...Near?! Yes, Near and Misa were handcuffed together, and neither seemed exactly happy about the arrangement.
"Wha...what happened?" Matsuda groaned. His carefully laden plans for a wonderful date were suddenly dashed to the wind as the little albino showed up.
"Near wanted to test out his new handcuffs he bought, and happened to loose the key..." Misa sneered at Near.
"I didn't do it on purpose Miss Amane. It isn't my fault they make those keys so incredibly tiny."
"Guys! Don't fight...let's just watch the movie..." Matsuda sighed, unlocking the doors to his SUV. Misa and Near hopped into the backseat, along with Matsuda who wanted to get close to the young blonde.
"Hey Near, think you could scoot over?" Matsuda asked.
"No I cannot Mr. Touta. My face is nearly up against the window; and you could easily move to the front seat. I cannot because I happen to be handcuffed to Misa!" Near glared.
"You make that sound so dirty..." Misa mumbled.
"Well, I'm not the one who went and lost the friggen' key!" Matsuda shot back.
"Please! The movie is starting!" Misa shushed both of the men. On the movie screen, opening credits began to start. Suddenly, the movie title appeared; Titanic.
"Interesting movie choice Mr. Touta, I remember hearing this film was chalk full of romantic sequences." Near smirked.
"Oh, do you ever shut up?" Matsuda groaned, rubbing his temples.
"Both of you shush up and watch the movie!" Misa shouted, making both men jump in their seats. Nearly twenty minutes later, Near couldn't resist bugging Matsuda once more. There was something so fun in aggravating the older man; maybe because he was so susceptible to anger...
"Can I have one of those cokes?" He asked, pointing towards two extra large drinks in the cup holders up front.
"Those happen to be for both Misa and I." Matsuda grinned, happening to also tick off the younger man.
"Well may I have yours?"
"No, you may not."
"You can have my coke Near," Misa smiled; which only made the Albino wannabe give Matsuda a look of satisfaction. Soon after, the SUV went silent as all three began watching the movie intently. Of course all good things must come to an end, and after two hours of Titanic, Near turned to Matsuda.
"Might I ask you a question?"
"Depends..." Matsuda said thru gritted teeth.
"You asked Misa on to this drive in, correct?"
"Yeah..."
"I do not have vast knowledge in the matter, but isn't the Drive In often a place where couples come to engage in pleasure?" Near asked. Misa started choking on Matsuda's coke which he had offered to her; and Matsuda's widened in disbelief.
"Ye...Yeah...that's what everyone says goes on..." He stuttered.
"Then, pray tell, would you ask Misa to this place?" A small tiny smirk graced Near's face, as he stared at very nervous older man.
"Yeah Matty, why would you ask me to the drive in?" Misa asked, after she had gotten over her choking fit.
"Eh...Erm...uh...IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!" Matsuda shouted, his calm demeanor breaking away.
"You could have asked Misa to go bowling, a much nicerplace." Near continued.
"Hey! I'M NOT THE ONE HANDCUFFED TO A WOMAN YOU LITTLE FREAK!" Matsuda had completely lost it, which only brought satisfaction to the little freak.
"Matty! Near is not a freak! He happens to be a very smart little fr- um...man! Come along Near, we're leaving!" Misa cried, unlocking her door and dragging along Near. Before Near got out of the SUV, he quickly turned to a very distressed Matsuda.
"Have fun by yourself!" He said, waving as Misa dragged him into the waiting Black Limo.
Matsuda groaned to himself as he leaned back unto the leather seat. His perfect night with Misa had been ruined by a white haired. The older man had planned a wonderfully romantic date, but all of that had been dashed away.
"Darn that freak!" Matsuda shouted, punching the driver seats head rest. Why had he allowed the younger man to annoy him so badly? He should have hid his pride and allowed Near to harasses him; perhaps Misa would have then taken pity on him!
"All I know is that Near better watch out...he hasn't any experience in women like I do!" Matsuda grinned, opening a box of candy and watching the last two hours of Titanic by himself.
How very pitiful.
What a very fun chappy to write. I'm afraid I made Matsuda a little bit OOC, however. Anyway, the plot thickens deeply in the next chapter, and I can guarantee a radical turn of events. Don't be thinking this story is going to be a major Near vs. Matsuda thing, because it's not. ;p
And now for that special announcement I was talking about. I got a new name...and...I'm already tired of it. I'm very indecisive.
I set up a poll on my homepage, with some possible new account names. Vote for the one you like most. If you don't, there won't be a next chappy! MHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Blackmail works ya know. XD
