A/N: Short chapter today guys - thanks to a reviewer who gave me a semi decent good idea that I couldn't pass up - and I won't be updating for a while yet. My headache is killer now and I can't even sum up the strength to keep going on with better chapters. Hope you can forgive me. D:

Anyways, enjoy and thank you to all!

(Mello P.O.V)

My anger had only just began to bubble over now. Why was he staring at her like that?! What did he see in her?!

Matt had been overly nice to Light's sister Sayu ever since he'd first met her. It didn't help that Sayu was overly nice back, and that made me especially angry. Why? I was unsure. Other than the fact that Matt was my friend and she was WAY older than him, I didn't see why I was so angry.

I'd endured two whole days of his gawking and staring at her. It was Christmas and thanks to him I couldn't even enjoy my presents. Not even the chocolate bar bigger than my arm. I was simply too upset to even think about having fun. It was almost nightmarish.

Maybe this was a nightmare.

Fat chance.

Matt gave a small sigh, still staring at Sayu from the staircase while she read. "Isn't she pretty, Mel?"

I growled. "No, she isn't. And quit saying stuff like that! She wouldn't be interested anyway."

"You don't know. Maybe when I'm older."

"Dude, by the time you're her age, she could already be married by then."

"Then I'll challenge her husband to a duel for her hand!" He said triumphantly.

I clenched my teeth in anger and walked away. I didn't want to hit him for being stupid, but I was dangerously close. But, aside from my anger, there was also a weird pain in my chest. It hurt the more I thought about Matt wanting to be with Sayu. I didn't know what to do about it, so I went to find Light or L. Hopefully one of them would know what to do.

Luck be with me, I found both of them working on a case together in the study.

Light was the first to see me, and it didn't take him long to realize something was amiss.

"What's up, Mello? Something wrong?"

I was fuming at this point. "Matt won't stop ogling your sister. It's starting to get annoying."

L piped in at this point. "Matt has a crush on Sayu?"

Light grinned. "That's adorable."

"It is not!" I exclaimed. "He's acting weird, and I don't like it."

L finally turned to me. "Why does it bother you so much?"

I gawked at him. "I'm not bothered by it! I just don't get why he's acting so weird!"

Light chuckled a bit. "It's a small crush, Mello. I doubt Matt has any real feelings for her. And even if he did, why do you care? How does it affect you in any way?"

I tried to find a reason but was only stuttering as a reply. I hadn't known why I cared, I just knew that I did. Besides, Matt was my friend, and I'd be damned if I lost him to a girl.

I crossed my arms. "I want her to leave."

"Mello…"

"I mean it, Light! Matt is my friend! I can't lose him to her!"

A strange look spread across both his face and L's. I hadn't known what it meant though, but it seemed like they were seeing something that I wasn't. Why couldn't they just come out and say it?

Light grinned then. "Mello, I promise that you won't lose Matt to Sayu. He's way too young for her anyways, and I'm pretty sure she has her heart set on Hideki Ryuga at the moment. Everything will go back to normal when the holidays are over."

I wasn't convinced. "You mean it?"

Light pet my hair to assure me. "Yes. Now go back to playing. We have to finish this case before my parents get home."

I sighed slightly. "Fine."

I then ran off to my room to terrorize Near for a bit. Lord knows Matt would be unavailable for hours to come anyway.

(Light P.O.V)

"Well, wasn't that interesting?"

"I agree." L replied as he turned back to his laptop. "To think, more than one of them has developed a crush."

I snickered. "I always thought Mello and Matt were a little too close to each other."

The detective beside me took a sip of his tea. "Indeed. I wonder how all this will turn out in the future."

"You don't know, maybe they could actually wind up together in the future. It wouldn't surprise me in the least."

"Yes, but they are technically referred to as my brothers."

"Not by blood. Mello and Matt share no family ties. I'd support them if they became a couple."

"As would I, but I still see a few issues regarding the union."

I scoffed a bit. "Oh dear, we're starting to sound like shippers."

"Like you sister and her friends?"

I nodded before realizing. "Didn't they used to ship us before we became an item?"

The detective didn't say a word. He merely took his cup of tea and sipped it up for a good minute or two. Right when the cup emptied, he left his seat and strode over to the window.

Being as overdramatic as he could be, he replied with, "What has become of us, Light?"

My eyes rolled yet again.
