"I......I'd love to Mello!" said L happily.

"Really?!" asked an overly joyed Mello.

"Sure!" replied L. "We can't acctually go out too far off, but we could hang out in my room if you'd like."

"Ummm..." said Mello, awkwardly staring indirectly at Watari, then back at L.

"Watari and I have separate rooms, Mello.." said L quietly. He's not a pervert! thought L.

"Tomorrow then?" asked Mello anxiously, he'd wanted to do this all throughout middle school, after all.

"Sounds good!" said L, smiling, truely smiling! He rarely ever smiled, let alone meant it! He was acctually happy!

"Well...umm...goodnight, I guess?" said Mello turning around towards the doorms.

"Yea, night." said L, heading toward the same building. Oddly enough, their rooms were just opposite eachother's.

Mello knocked on the door to his and Matt's room. A while afterward, Matt arrived with messy hair, a sloppily wrinkled shirt on, and unzipped pants. What was he doing in here...wondered Mello, worriedly. The red head looked nervous and worried, this worried Mello as well.

"What were you just doing Matt?" asked Mello, curiously.

"N-nothing...nothing at all...I was...playing a new internet game!" lied Matt.

"The computer is turned off Matt! Why are you lying to me?" asked Mello angrily.

"If I told you....you'd kill me.." said Matt, now zipping his pants.

"Matt, if you don't tell me I'll kill you. Either way you're dead!" said Mello, even angrier now.

"Ummm.....uhhhhh...I'm not sure how to put this.....crap...." said Matt, his voice trailing off sleepily.
"Just tell me." said Mello , more calm now.

"There's no easy way, so..." said Matt. He stuck his head in the room, and motioned someone to the door with his hand. Then Mello saw something he swore came straight from a nightmare! There, in his room, only half clothed, stood Near!

"Matt! You..you didn't! Did you?" asked Mello in a panicked, whiney tone.

"I'm sorry Mello, he was nice to me..and....and you only wanted to talk about L!" said Matt defensively shielding Near.

"I-I can't handle this now! I'm never talking to you again Matt!" screamed Mello, who was now tearing up.

He slammed the door and walked across the hall. He knocked on L's door and soon L appeared

"Mello? What? Why are you crying?!" asked L worriedly.

"Matt he...he.....I can't believe him! He knew I....and still he.....I HATE HIM!!!" screamed Mello, rambling in anger. he was crying hard now, and his face was red with anger. The tears stung his face as they slid down his cheek.

"What happened Mello?!" asked L worriedly, he was willing to kill anyone who dared hurt his dear Mello.

"Matt! Matt, he and Near they......in my room! They...and Matt, he's my best friend! He knows I hate Near and still, he...IN MY ROOM L!!!" screamed Mello loudly, crying even harder now.

"Shhhhh-shhhhh." said L hugging Mello tightly and stroking his hair. " What did they do in your room Mello?" he asked calmly.

"They..they did it...In my room...maybe on my bed L!" Mello answered whining.

"Oh....oh my!" said L shocked. " Come sit down. You're staying over tonight Mello." said L, trying not to do anything he'd later regret. I'm only here to comfort him he told himself.

"Thank you so much L." said Mello quietly lying down next to L with his head in L's lap. L lovingly stroked Mello's hair. "You are very welcome Mello." said L, leaning down and kissing his forehead gently. L looked down at Mello. He's so cute! thought L. He allowed himself to kiss Mello lightly on the lips this time. Mello blushed and looked up at L. L was having trouble containing himself. He sooo badly wished to glomp the boy right then! Mello sat up and kissed L back on the lips, pressing in slightly to say it wasn't an accident. L couldn't help but kiss back. Lets just say, one thing lead to another, and before long morning came.

"Morning L." said Mello, yawning. L sat in front of his computer drinking coffee. He turned at an awkward angle to face Mello.
"Morning!" he replied smiling sweetly. Mello looked at the clock on the wall. It read 10:00, AM of course. Mello shot up and found his clothes. Quickly, he dressed himself and darted out the door screaming,"Bye L! Gotta go to class!!" as he ran.

Matt passed by him and turned around, now walking with Mello. He didn't want to loose Mello as a friend, so he'd try to explain himself.
"Look, man about last night....i'm soooo soooo sorry!" said Matt facing Mello.
"Last night.....?" Mello asked. He'd forgotten all about it because he was so excited about L. "Ohhhh...that. Well, I guess I forgive you...just don't do it again, at least not to my knowledge."
"Thank god! I thought you'd kill me or something man!" said Matt, cheerfully slapping Mello's shoulder.
"Nahh, we're best friends! I wouldn't kill you, maybe hurt you, but never kill you." replied Mello. He was in such a good mood, nothing could ruin this! Or so he thought.

Ding dong! The last bell finally rang. Mello raced out of the classroom,down the hall, to the dorms. He walked right across fromhis own room and knocked on the door to L's dorm room. L answered the door.
"Hello. Oh! It's you, Mello! Come in!" he said cheerfully. "What is it Mello, you want to talk, are you upset?"
"No. I just wanted to see you is all." answered Mello, smiling. "Why? Are you upset?"
"Honestly, yes. You see, Mello....my stay will be shorter than I had expected." said L, sadly staring down at the floor as his thumb left the corner of his mouth.

"How long do you have...?" asked Mello, sadly.
"A...a week. I leave next Friday.." said L, sadly. He wanted sooo badly to stay home, with Mello.
"That's...all?!" asked Mello shocked, scared, sad, and angry. He already had to wait so long, and now he'd have to wait more?!

"The Kira case is extremely difficult, I have to work on it as much as possible. I'm truely sorry Mello.." said L, on the verge of tears.

"No way..." said Mello, he too close to crying now. "I can't believe this!"

"Mello...I may not return again, so let's make the most of this week together."

"Don't talk like that! You'll make it through, you're L!"

"It may cost me my life Mello...I'm not immortal, just a good detective.." said L.

"A Great detective L. Not a good detective! You're the BEST detective!" cried Mello.

"I'm going to get you out of this, L. I....I can't risk losing you!! I.......I love you." said Mello, now crying.
L hugged him tightly, "I love you too." he whispered.
