How to Maintain: Your Death Note Character

Scenario IV: Bedtime

Note: We apologize for the delay of this scenario. We have been busy fixing defects in various Death Note character models.

The first day with your Death Note characters is almost over. However, there is still bedtime to get through. A crucial fact that you may want to keep in mind: Near will be highly offended if you, at any time, ask him if he wants to be tucked in.

"Let's go!" Mello yells, tugging on Matt's arm.

"W-wait!" Matt grabs a container filled of gummy worms and then lets himself be dragged off.

You stare a little, wondering if they were going to do what you thought they were.

"They probably are," Near says quietly, standing by your side. He's a few inches shorter than you, and that plus the oversized stuffed bunny in his arms, he looks adorable. "Mello and Matt-chain 'try to reproduce' all the time."

Light scoffs. "Those two...such fa--"

L's fist cuts him off. Startled, Light looks up at L from his place on the floor. "W-what was that for?!" He shouts.

L's eyes are cold, tone icy. "Mello is my friend, and successor. He is like my son, as well as Matt. You do not insult either boys." Then he, with BB, storm away.

You glance at Light uninterestedly as Misa helps him up. When they've gone away to their rooms, you set about to cleaning up the remnants of dinner. Away goes the empty jars of jam, the balled up wrappers of chocolate, the bag of chips. Once the dishes have been washed, dried, and put back to the cabinets, you wash your hands and start down the hallway, planning to check up on the others.

The first door, on the left side of the hallway, is Beyond's room. You hear voices talking; it sounds almost the same, so it must be L and BB. You smile and continue on. The next door over is Near's room. He's speaking softly, so you can barely hear him, but it's evident he's talking to his stuffed animals. The door next to it is Light's and Misa's. Misa's high-pitched voice is talking rapidly about how she loves Light, and you can practically see Light plugging his ears.

The door across that, on the other side of the hallway, is L's room. It's quiet, seeing as L is in BB's room.

You move on to the last door remaining, save for the bathroom. It's Matt's and Mello's room, you can tell from the sign hanging, which said, 'Mello and Matt's room! NEAR IS NOT ALLOWED!!!' You start to smile, but then you hear sounds...

Grunting. A frustrated moan. "Matt, dammit, my fingers are stuck!"

"Serves you right...ow!" Matt sounds like he's in pain. "Stop, stop, stop..."

"Fine, I'll do it myself!"

"Owwww! Oh, god...so tight."

"Matt."

"Y-yeah?"

"GET OFF ME."

"Oh, oh, right. Sorry."

"Ah, dammit."

"Faster, Mello, faster!"

"I'm trying, you idiot! Ah! Don't fucking pull on my hair!"

"Sorry, I can't--ah! So fucking tight...uhh..."

Feeling responsible, and scared out of your mind, you yank their door open, revealing Matt...with a pair of leather pants on, Mello trying to tie the laces. The redhead looks sheepishly at you.

"Sorry. Were we too loud?" He asks.

"You're the one who was screaming." Mello hits him lightly on the thigh.

"Careful, Mel." Matt smiles down evilly. "You're awfully close to something..."

Mello giggles and nuzzles Matt's stomach. "Mhm."

You close their door, retreating slowly. When the lock clicks, you hear rustling and the sound of something landing on the bed. Matt probably had thrown Mello on it, or the other way around.

You smile cheekily, heading to your own room. Hopefully they won't be too loud.

With BB and L:

"Sometimes I wonder why I...feel these things about him," L says, sighing. "I do not understand, BB-kun."

"I don't understand, either," BB huffs quietly. Louder, he says, "Have you talked to him?"

L shakes his head. "I don't want to. Everytime I get enough courage to do so, something stops me." He bites his lip, silently debating whether he should tell the other man that he was the reason he couldn't tell Light. Because BB would be hurt, and L certainly didn't want that.

Oh, what a horrible love triangle he was in.

"What is it?" BB asks gently. Though inside, he is brimming with excitement: this could finally be it! L could finally declare his love for BB, and he would beat Light!

"...A cake," L lies sadly. "Everytime we meet, he always brings me a slice of cake and I get sidetracked..."

BB's excitement deflates like a balloon.

With Near:

The albino was carefully setting his stuffed animals around his bed so they formed a fortress. No one would be able to get in, not even monsters. Well, except Mello...

Near sighed. Why did the blond have to be so...

He tried to find the right word.

Stupid? No, Mello certainly wasn't stupid.

Emotional? Very much so. Although the kind of 'emotional' Mello was was the bad kind: pure hatred. Towards Near.

Caught up in Matt? There's the right word--er, phrase. Mello was so into Matt, he wasn't noticing Near at all! Sure, he probably thought of him 24/7, but was probably plotting Near's downfall. It saddened Near; how could Mello hate him? He'd tried so hard to be the blond's friend, but he just got pushed away.

"Do you think Mello knows?" Near asks a teddy bear. It looks at him with black, beady eyes. Near hugs the teddy bear close. "You're right. He cannot possibly know."

With Light and Misa:

"I'd die, for you, Light-kun," Misa babbled. "Really, Misa-Misa would! She loves--"

"Shut up!" Light groaned in frustration.

With Matt and Mello:

Due to mature content, this part of the manual has been removed to prolong the innocence of the younger ones.

And, there you have it!
That's what basically happens when everyone is 'asleep'. How will breakfast go? Stay tuned to find out.
