A/N: I know this is short, but I wanted to update something on Halloween, since I'm putting all my fics on hold for NaNoWriMo. And it's L's birthday! :huggles:
Thanks afaz and for reviewing. Reviews make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside XD.
Talk
"L?" There was a tentative knock on the door.
L sighed and put his laptop away. I really must find a new case to work on soon, he thought. I'm bored out of my mind. Of course, the last case he had worked on had been particularly unsavory, and he was supposed to be enjoying a well-earned break. "Yes, Watari, what is it?"
The door opened and the old man walked in. "I think you should have a…talk with Mello," he said in his gentle way.
"What did he do this time? Nothing I ever say will make him and Near get along…."
"No, it's not that." Watari looked distinctly uncomfortable. "It's…something else."
"What?"
"Mello seems to have gotten in his head that he is going to be married….."
L shook his head. "At seven years old? Mello's maybe a little too precocious…"
"To Matt."
It took a second for the words to sink in.
"Oh," L said, after this pregnant pause. "Now I see what you mean."
