A/n: Funnily enough, I had a few reviews and PMs about what "it" was from the previous chapter. Well guys I think I might just have to leave it to your imagination ;)

Also, due to me making one of my very close friends upset over (fan fictions sister website) I decided that I should add her into this chapter! She should be pleasantly surprised: 3

Okie dokey

Chapter 5:

The world was dark, rain enclosing him. 'Maybe this was the end? Maybe I've finally died?' Lawliet's thoughts were blurred as he watched the devil himself stare at him from under the shelter of an umbrella, his face hidden.

"Have you come for my soul?"

"Yes Lawliet."

Lawliet's black eyes turned as the devil shifted his umbrella to reveal his face. Lawliet gasped.

It was Light Yagami!

Lawliet's eyes flashed open, his body far from wet, but snug in his down quilt. He stared at the ceiling with a malicious smile on his face.

"I knew it!"

...

"I'm sorry that your job hasn't been going well." Mello yawned as he sipped on a hot chocolate. L's eyebrow rose questionably.

"Not going well? Are you on drugs or something?"

"Well you have been working for the Yagami dude for over a month. I thought he would have settled down by now." The blonde licked the side of the cup as a drop of foam slid down the rim.

"Light has too much..energy to settle down. "

"Does he still dress you?"

"Not really. But I still have to wear whatever he wants, when he wants."

"That's not very nice."

"That is an understatement." Lawliet looked at his friend with a dejected look. Sometimes Mello made him wonder if he was even human.

"Oi Mello."

"Hmm?"

"Do you even have a job or what? And Matt as well. How in the hell do you guys get by?"

A large laugh erupted from the other. Everybody in the cafe stared at them, questioning their sanity with very subtle glances.

"Look L even if I told you, you wouldn't believe me." Mello winked at a young woman who had been eyeing him, and she licked her straw in return.

"How the hell can you do that to a woman? You look at her and you're almost in her pants!"

"It's a double edged sword being attractive." Mello sniggered as Lawliet's dark eyes narrowed.

"Oh Miheal you would collapse under the pressure of being beautiful."

"Bastard."

"Dickhead."

"Can you shout me a chocolate L?"

"I thought you had a job?"

"I do."

"A paying job?"

"I never said that I was paid."

"You suck Mello." L rummaged through his bag and handed his friend a handful of notes.

'-your heart is my piñata so sayonara, I just wanna go out tonight, I'm too tired to put up a fight I just wanna go out tonight the best part of fighting is the makeup sex! Miss bipolar, ultimate controller manipulator instigator-'

"Hello? Lawliet speaking-"

"About time you answered your phone! I've been ringing for the last ten freaking minutes!"

"Huh? I've had no missed calls-"

"That doesn't mean anything! Remember what next week is?" Light's irritating voice belted out from the earpiece that loudly that even the blonde teenager across the table flinched.

"Is it your birthday?"

"GAHH! It's my first live performance that I would have had for months!"

"Give me a sec." Lawliet's spidery hand covered the microphone.

"I have to go. I want the change from that by the way." He nodded in the direction of the handful of money that Mello held. Mello nodded slowly in reply.

"Bye bye L."

"See you around."

"Yeah. Sucker." Mello paid the bill and stuffed the change into his pant pocket, eagerly awaiting the closest shop that held tight fitting pants, and his favourite shirts.

...

So the afternoon passed without any major screw ups.

Or not.

Light's performance had the teenage as riled up as a six year old with raspberry cordial.

So in other words, L was in for one hell of a week.

...

"So if I swap that stage hand with my manager, it would save money right?" Light yawned into the phone as Lawliet, slave for all situations and purposes, poured the auburn haired man a cup of rose tea.

Yes. Rose tea.

"Ah so is it legal? He is well trained if I say so myself."

As the teapot was gently let down onto the side table, the words that Light was blabbering finally began to comprehend in the older man's mind.

Light was trying to pimp him out to another company! That sly bastard! How dare he do such a wonderfully generous thing without consulting him first!

Light had caught sight of the hopeful glint in the large obsidian eyes that were glued to him so firmly. Light smiled and flicked his beautiful all (fake) natural hair from his honey orbs.

"Alright so that's settled? Alright thank you-" Light looked at the card that sat on his perfect (manicured) nails "-Bethany."

Another loud yawn from the teen as he set his mobile down. "Damn these English names. It's so bloody hard to pronounce in Japanese! That means yours as well Lawliet. Lawliet?"

The look of blossoming expectation on Lawliet's face would have almost been comical if it wasn't for how hard he was hoping. Who cares if it's a well paying job? You can only be kicked in the shins or dressed so many times before you lose hope in everything sweet and sticky.

A questioning gaze met with the excited one.

"What were you having a conversation about Light?"

"Oh about a new job opening for you."

Sparkles were on the verge of erupting from L's eyeballs.

"Really!"

"Well, technically it isn't new. More like an add-on to your normal duties."

The twenty three year old had never felt so much despair in his whole life. He hadn't heard the discussion properly. He wasn't getting a new job. He was getting another job from Light!

Great. This honestly couldn't get any worse.

"Alrighty well I will see you early tomorrow morning L!" Light winked as he stood to leave his designated office area. In other words, Lawliet's loungeroom.

"Where are you off to! I need details on my new job!"

"I'm going on a date! And you find out sooner or later Lawliet~"

"I hate you so much." L muttered feebly as he watched the one thing in the whole wide world that would want to eat his liver, skip away.

...

"Alright! Well, now that your here we can finally get started on your duties...Lawliet Wammy!" A young woman no older than eighteen grinned at the sombre man in front of her.

"Well what do I have to do?" Lawliet mumbled as the brunette woman watched him expectantly. Her face fell at his lack of enthusiasm. A large pout sat on her pink lips.

"Hmm. Mr Yagami has already told you about pretty much everything right?" L nodded slowly.

"Fantastic! Now I also heard that you will be having some BYO helpers later?" Another slow nod. "Hopefully they might be a little more excited about their jobs ..."

"So Miss, what is your name again?" Lawliet asked softly as the woman turned to leave.

"Bethany. Bethany Linquist." She smiled as she watched him commit it to memory. "Are you going to ask for my phone number next?"

"You never know."

"I can only hope." Bethany chuckled and pulled her hair out of her face. "Don't forget to tell me when these friends come onto the scene. They most likely would want to be paid for their help I would suppose?"

"Sure."

...

"Uhhh...hi there...Light?"

"Hello again...Max?"

"Matt."

"Whatever."

Light sat impatiently in his dressing room, his casual wear traded for a made-to-tear suit and tight fitting jeans. Matt and Mello had arrived twenty minutes beforehand looking for their long suffering friend who had rung them both in a state of major despair, begging for their help. It didn't take much to convince the two teens when they were told that there was money involved.

But they had no idea that they would actually have to sit with the moody pop star Light Yagami.

Matt was horrified. Mello was star struck. Beyond star struck.

"So Mr Yagami-"

"Light."

"yeah! Light! We've heard so much about you from L!" Mello rambled. It was almost embarrassing the way the blonde was staring at the 'picture of perfection' with large shiny puppy dog eyes. Matt pointed to the back of his throat and made a strangled gagging noise earning dirty looks from the two others. Matt chuckled gloomily. 'I swear to god, where in the hell is that son-of-a-bitch Lawliet!'

"Look I'm here Light. You go on in half an hour. They just had a bit of trouble with your sign. Oh!" L smiled "Great to see that you two decided to bring your asses in! C'mon. I'll introduce you 'round. Finish yourself up Light. You can walk to the stage cant you?"

Light muttered incomprehensible words under his breath, presumably very naughty words.

"Bye Light!" Mello waved sadly as he was escorted out of the room. The door slammed shut behind them and L sighed with relief. "You guys have to be introduced to the woman running this whole fiasco. She's done an amazing job keeping up to Light's incredible standards." The two teens grunted in reply, observing the crazed workers around them, each doing their own job, each looking like they were about to cry.

"Ah! Lawliet! Have your friends arrived yet?"

"Speak of the devil."

Bethany held her clipboard snugly to her chest as she told another woman to hurry along. "So where are these extra hands?"

Lawliet cracked his neck and pointed at the two who accompanied him who were both more interested in watching the employees scuttle around."These two brats here."

"Oh well it's a plea-" Bethany stopped mid sentence, her eyes narrowing dangerously. "Matt?"

Matt flinched and turned to look at who was speaking. His eyes, which were hidden with a brand new pair of orange tinted goggles, widened in fear.

"Oh shi-uh hey there Beth?" Matt stuttered as his face began to redden. Mello cackled.

" 'Ello there Beth! Long time no see!" Bethany looked at Mello, her eyes softening immediately. "Hey Mello. How have you been?"

"Alright, yourself?"

"Oh I'm fantastic."

Lawliet's eyebrow raised in confusion. 'Who was this woman to them?'

"So Matt. Betcha you didn't expect to see me again so soon."

"Yeah...you got that right."

"Well, before you accuse me of anything, remember that I have a life too."

"Yeah! But why the hell are you here!"

"Mr Yagami decided to expand his employees ranges. He came across me by coincidence."

Matt's eye twitched. Lawliet laughed softly to himself. "There is no such thing as coincidence."

Bethany winked "True true. Now I have to go and finish working so Matt if you can keep your fat head out of my way, that would be greatly appreciated. Bye Mello. See you 'round Lawliet." And with that, Bethany left. Mello was holding his ribs so tightly that Lawliet was worried that he might break his own ribs.

"Now that was fun wasn't it?" The blonde boomed as he watched Matt's face go from shock to distraught.

"Shut up Mello."

"She was always such a nice girl!"

"I said shut the fuck up Mello!" L watched, feeling mildly rejected at being left out of his friends joke.

"So who was she to you Matt?" Matt's green eyes flashed from behind his goggles.

"Let's just say that if I have to work with her tonight, then I so do not want to experience this sober."

...

Ah,an old friend or a lover spurned? And will Light's newest concert be a complete flop? Well we shall find out next chapter wont we?
