Sorry guys, I've kinda been on a slight hiatus... and school's making me do homework. Lots and lots of homework.
K, guys. Voting starts now. Some people have already voted on the last chappie, so I'll count those.
Remember: ONE VOTE PER REVIEW. ONE REVIEW PER CHAPTER. (exception for etheral eternal, cuz I promised to put her votes in last chapter.)
-MelloxNear: 2
-MattxMello / MelloxMatt: 2
-NearxLinda: 1
-BBxAz: 0
-LxAz: 0
-MattxBeyond: 0

(Hehehe... A MattxMelloxNear threesome would be hot, DeAD oN SIghT... but I can't write threesomes. No matter how hard I try. Lol.)
"You asshole," Mello spat acidly, but grinned nonetheless. "I've been feeling great, school sucks. What 'bout you?" He replied excitedly, happy to see his friend again.
"I've been better. Kira's goons are after my brother's hide and I have to save it." Beyond chuckled. He flipped over the couch in front of Mello and held out a hand towards him. The chocoholic gratefully accepted the help.
"Boys--"
"And women," Az interrupted the detective.
"…And women…" L grounded out, annoyed at the interruption. Linda suppressed a smirk. "This is my twin brother, Beyond Birthday. He prefers to be called B or BB..."
"Good evening, peeps!" The murderer chirped and grinned, showing his pearl white teeth.
"Evenin' mate!" Matt greeted, using an Australian accent.
"Hello…" Near mumbled out quietly, wary of the newcomer. He never knew the red-eyed man quite well back at Wammy's.
"Aww!" Az squealed, sounding more like a child than a teacher. "Hi Near! You're still as cute as ever!"
The white-haired boy could feel his face flushing a bit, and the amused stares of Matt and Mello boring into his skull. "Please refrain from calling me 'cute', Az." He mumbled, trying to control his discomfited blush.
"Okay, okay," Az smirked, amused by Near's embarrassment. "I won't call you cute in front of your friends." She sniggered.
"Evil woman," Near muttered inaudibly.
"Now," B started, "Where do I sleep? The couch...?"
Mello blinked, "You're coming to sleep here?"
"Of course, Mello-Jello!" The boisterous twin shouted radically, making Near wince. "Well, not just sleeping here…" He paused dramatically and L facepalmed. "… I'll be living here til Kira's caught! Cool, eh?"
"Woot!" Matt and Mello cheered simultaneously.
"…" Near frowned inwardly, 'How do we know we can trust him?' He thought. 'He just suddenly appears out of nowhere and reunites with L and them… Mello said he was a serial killer in the past… but what about now? Does he still kill?' The white-haired boy mused. 'I remember vaguely back in the orphanage that Watari was saying to Roger that Beyond has a slight mental disorder and he can be quite unpredictable… I have seen those results in his past pranks…'
Linda immediately noticed Near's silence and glanced concernedly at him. "Near?" She whispered, enough so that the others cannot hear. "Are you ok?"
Her friend's dark eyes blinked, seemingly snapped out of a trance, and met Linda's anxious gaze. "I'm fine, Linda." He said smoothly. "No need to be concerned. Just thinking."
"… If you say so…" She answered uncertainly.
"What?!" Beyond whined. Everyone's heads turned to him in either curiosity (the teens), amusement (Az), or annoyance (L).
"Did you not hear me clearly?" L grounded out with heavy sarcasm. "Here; let me break it down: You… cannot… sleep… in… my… room… because… you… might… break… something… and… I… don't… trust… you… with… my… poh-ses-shuns." He repeated slowly and jerky like he was talking to a child.
'Which is kinda true…' Az smirked.
L saw Az's grin and mentally rolled his eyes. 'Hypocrite,' He thought, sensing her thoughts.
The woman met L's deadpan stare and mentally challenged him to speak. L quickly averted his eyes, not wanting to face her wrath.
"Then where can I sleep?" B muttered, loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Hmm…" L mused. "Near?" He called gently to the boy sitting on the carpet.
Near warily looked up, "… Yes?" He squeaked, hoping L didn't suggest that he would room with BB… an 'ex-serial killer'…
The white-haired boy would drown in his pile of plushies first before Beyond would get his tainted hands on him.
"How do you feel about moving into Matt and Mello's room temporarily while BB sleeps on your room?" L smiled.
It took approximately one and a half seconds for Near to sigh in relief, Matt to start cheering again and Mello to yelp incredulously.
"W-WHAT?!" He screeched. "You have got to be kidding me…"
"Temporarily, Mello-kun." L reminded. "Beyond will be staying here until this Kira business has cooled down considerably. After he's left Near can have his room back…" '…If Beyond didn't trash it too much…' He added silently to himself.
"…Fine." Mello pouted. "But I won't like it!" He growled childishly.
"Thanks, Natey!" BB laughed. "Though I cannot promise you that it'll be the same as you left it though…"
"Don't worry about it." Near said quickly, 'ThankyouthankyouthankyouLMattandMelloIloveyouguys…' Was Near's rapid thoughts.
