"What?" Mello jumped up. "Are you suicidal or something?" L remained motionless and looking straight ahead. "I mean… I can understand getting Light's notebook BUT RYUK'S? What are we supposed to do just waltz up and ask him for the notebook? What kind of a stupid plan is that?"
"So what is your plan?" Matt asked as Mello continued ranting in the background.
"We need some sort of stealth or distraction…" L muttered quietly. He casually bit his thumb, "A distraction…"
Matt thought for a moment. "Hmmm… I got it!" He turned to Mello who was still going over his shock of Ryuk's Death Note. "Mello…"
"I mean Death Gods… Death… GODS! We don't stand—"
"MELLO!" Mello looked up from his ranting. "Now shut up and give me your wallet."
Mello arched one of his eyebrows, "What do you need my wallet for?"
"I'll tell you after you give me your wallet…" Mello raised his eyebrows but handed Matt his wallet. Matt snatched Mello's wallet from him and walked to the door. He bowed politely, "Thank you very much!" and left.
"Wait Ma—" Mello said when Matt slammed the door. "What the hell is he up to?"
L thought for a moment, "Just being Matt I guess…"
Matt smiled happily twirling Mello's wallet around. He was half skipping with a high expression on his face and a cigarette dangling from his lips. He hummed some foreign tune. He knocked on the door of Light's house. L stood in the doorway looking at Matt trying to probe his mind. "You've been out for quite some time Matt…"
Matt smiled, "It was a big order they had 2 fill…"
L arched one of his eyebrows, "Who is they?"
"Mattie?" Mello asked interrupting the two. Matt threw Mello his wallet. Mello caught it with ease. "Where'd you go?"
"It'll be easier to show you…" Matt left the house and motioned for L and Mello to follow him.
L and Mello walked onto the porch and saw a big, red truck pull into the driveway. Mello arched his eyebrows, "What did you…"
Matt smiled, "Mello, you wanna help me out?"
Mello looked at L then back at Matt. Matt smirked at him raising his eyebrows and licking his lips. Mello gulped but walked over to Matt. Matt wrapped one of his arms around Mello's waist Mello returned the action. "L," Matt yelled, "bring Ryuk down here when we get in the back of this truck. Make him look under this mat," Matt pointed to the mat that covered the back of the truck.
L nodded, "What now?"
"Go inside and keep watch till no one's around this truck." Matt looked at the guy driving the truck. "Okay except for that guy. I paid him for delivery."
L nodded, "Okay I'll go check on Light." With that L turned around and went inside the house.
Matt smirked pushing Mello against the truck and crushing their lips together. "You know… I'm glad you told them that lie about me being seme."
Mello somehow maneuvered Matt around that he was the one being forced against the truck, "So you're saying you wanna try being the dominant one now?"
Matt shook his head, "Not a chance." Matt heard a cough and looked up at the driver of the truck. He was in his mid thirties and was gaping at the two males. Matt pushed against Mello's chest while Mello worked his lips around Matt's ear. "Mello…" Matt muttered, which Mello mistook for a moan. He bit Matt's ear and started grinding into him fiercely. Matt's breath hitched, "M-Mello… t-the driver…"
Mello paused and looked up. He glared at the man staring at them in the truck. Mello rolled his eyes, "I can't stand miserable, nosy bastards…"
Matt couldn't help but pull a grin onto his lips. "Well c'mon we have to set this plan in motion. L's expecting us to." Mello frowned slightly. Matt pecked his lips, "Don't worry I'll make up for all the horny details later." That seemed to excite Mello enough that a sly grin spread across his face.
Matt walked to the end of the truck and pulled up the mat, "Now… get in…"
Mello walked over to the end of the truck and looked inside. His smile grew wider, "You clever bastard…"
"Hey L… are you feeling okay?" Light asked sitting on his bed. L was sitting in his normal position, by the window and biting his thumb. "I… I guess I should apologize for my actions…"
L arched one of his eyebrows and turned his attention to Light, "Why are you apologizing? What did you do?"
Light blushed slightly, "… umm… About earlier…"
L thought for a moment, "I'm not sorry…"
Light looked at L in surprise, "What?"
L sighed, "It's exactly as it sounds… I'm not sorry…"
Light was silent for a moment. He didn't know how to respond to the strange detective. His mouth hung open but no sound came out of it. Ryuk smirked next to him. He thought of the fun game he'd developed for the detective. In actuality, Ryuk had no idea what l was planning. He just liked to mess with the detective. Also, telling L that he knew his next actions helped him keep L away from him. He knew L was afraid of anything he didn't know existed, like Shinigami.
L looked back out of the window and watched Matt and Mello lower themselves into the back of the truck. He arched one of his eyebrows as they shut the mat back on the back of the truck. L nibbled his thumb in frustration. Light recognized L's frustration and said, "What is it L?"
L turned to Light, "There's a truck in your yard…"
Light jumped off of his bed and walked over to the window. "Huh?" He said audibly, "What the hell…"
Ryuk tilted his head to the side, "Would you look at that…"
Light got up and ran out of his room. L was slightly surprised by this but followed Light downstairs. Light stomped up to the driver of the truck. "Can I help you?"
The driver was somewhat shaken by the young man especially after seeing the two males from before. God only knows what they could've been doing in the back of his truck. He was in his late twenties with dark brown hair and eyes and you could say he wasn't the luckiest guy in the whole world. "I-I'm only making a delivery…"
"I didn't order anything!" Light yelled. He hated when people showed up unexpectedly. "If you don't mind I would like you to leave."
"Light don't you think we should see what it is?" Ryuk muttered curiously…
"Yes I'm curious as well," L muttered biting his index finger.
Light sighed staring at the mat. After a moment he muttered a small, "Fine…" and let L lift up the mat on the truck. When Light saw what it was he rolled his eyes, "Yes that is for us…"
L held back a smirk and instead shook his head. I love you Matt… even though this is one of the stupidest and most ingenious things I've seen you attempt, L thought to himself.
Ryuk almost fell over. His giant red eyes sparkled in glee as he eyed the inside of the truck. He licked his lips greedily, "Can I have them, Light?"
Light shrugged, "Well I'm not going to eat them…"
Ryuk chuckled as he dived happily into the pool of never ending apples. He immediately started stuffing his face with apples like the addictive Shinigami he was. L watched the Shinigami eating the apples like they were the last apples on the face of the earth. Then it hit him. Matt and Mello were in the pit of apples along with Ryuk. What would happen when Ryuk finished all the apples and there was Matt and Mello with him?
L actually felt somewhat worried for their safety, "Ryuk you shouldn't eat all those apples at once… that's not good for you."
Light laughed, "Coming from the man who eats nothing but sugar…" L gave Light a look that told him that he knew he was wrong but he needed help. "Oh… uh… Ryuk you really shouldn't eat all of those apples at one time. C'mon! L and I will load the apples out of the car so the driver can leave and you can eat your apples inside." L gave Light a look of gratitude. Light smiled in response.
"You won't… have to… ha!... worry… about the driver…. NOM!" Ryuk said in muffled gasps.
L and Light looked at the driver who had fainted. Anyone probably would faint seeing an apple floating in midair and being consumed by some invisible force…
Light slapped his forehead, "URGH! Ryuk get out of the truck I'll get you your apples after we help this man." Ryuk frown and took two apples with him as Light opened the truck. "I'm such an idiot! I forgot that people who haven't touched the Death Note can't see Ryuk."
L walked up from behind Light and helped him take the man out of the truck. "You're not stupid Light and I think the result would have been even worse if this man could actually see Ryuk."
Light and L carried the man inside and laid him on the couch. Ryuk watch him while nibbling on the two apples he took earlier from the truck. Light and L ran to the kitchen and tried to find a box big enough to put all the apples in. Light sighed, "This is going to be impossible…"
L bit his nail for a moment, "I have two thoughts on this matter."
"Let me hear them."
"Okay. We can either empty all the drawers in here and use them to put the apples i—"
"No way! What about the stuff in them?"
"Put them in the sink and wash them later…"
"What's the other option?"
"We dump all the apples on the floor and let Ryuk have his way with them. We could just pile them in the middle of the floor and—"
Before L could finish Light was dumping the contents in a drawer by the stove and dumped all the contents, i.e. silverware, into the sink. "No way there's going to be a giant mess in the middle of me living room."
"I had a feeling you would say something like that…" L muttered happily seeing Light like his normal self. Who else would obsess about how neat a room is?
L grabbed a drawer and copied Light's actions by tossing its insides in the sink. "Well let's go…" Light turned and started walking. "Wait," L said thinking for a moment. Light looked at L giving him a questioning look. "Um… I'll go bring in the apples… You should empty the drawers here since we'll need more than two."
Light thought for a moment, "Yeah… you're right! Good idea but… I'll get the apples."
"No I insist besides… I'm stronger than you."
Light could tell there was more behind this statement and made that known by blushing. "A-are not!"
L couldn't help but be amused by this but he kept that in the back of his mind. He left the kitchen and house to get to the truck. He set the box (drawer) on the ground and looked inside the truck. "Matt? Mello?"
A mound of apples lifted up and rolled off of Matt as he sat up, pulled his goggles on top of his head and rubbed his eyes. "That actually suffocates you… It's like being in a ball pit at one of those lame play areas for kids except… it's with apples instead of balls…" L reached out to Matt. "Wait… Where's Mello? Mello?"
L looked along the apples trying to see if anything looked like Mello. "Mello? What pile of apples looks bigger?"
"Mello where are you?" Matt yelled looking around for the cocky blonde.
"What's with all the yelling, Mattie?" Mello asked smirking at him from behind.
Matt paused then whipped around glaring at Mello, "Mihael Keehl! What was that?"
Mello laughed clutching his ribs, "That was fast. You get angry too easily."
Matt glared at him, "You're one to talk Mr. Shoot- anyone- crosses- me."
Mello stuck out his tongue, "So sue me…I just thought it would be cute to see you worry about me."
Matt scowled, "You jerk I was seriously worried about you!"
Mello gave him a sheepish look, "Sorry Mattie. Forgive me?"
"Idiot! Of course I do!" Matt yelled pulling Mello into a hug.
"Man if this is how you treat people when you're mad at them I should break your Laptop or break your video games…"
Matt pulled away from him, "You do that and you die…"
Mello smirked and turned to L, "So L, what's up?"
L hated how these two could act like… like absolute children sometimes. "I need to get some apples but I'll be back." L filled the box up with apples and when back into the house. When he returned Matt was whispering to Mello about something. L placed a different box on the ground. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah…" Matt said glumly.
"What is it?" L muttered looking at Matt and Mello curiously.
"Listen L… about the Death Note…"
L paused, "You didn't get it?"
Matt shook his head. "It was harder to move around than I thought it would be… I miscalculated L… I'm sorry."
L shook his head, "No it's not your fault… We'll just have to think of a different plan in order to steal Ryuk's Death Note."
"No we won't!" Mello jumped up. He unzipped his leather vest and pulled out a black notebook. "Mattie boy may not've delivered, but I sure as hell did!"
L took the notebook in his hands letting his eyes scan the cover. He nodded to them giving them a thankful glance. He stuffed the notebook under his shirt with the other one. "We'll talk about this later…"
Matt and Mello jumped out of the truck, "No problem…"
"Okay… Light's supervising Ryuk," L said sitting on the couch.
"Cool, so how much time do we have?" Mello was stretched across Matt who was sitting in an armchair close to L.
"I would say about an hour but it wouldn't surprise me if we had less time than that." Mello and Matt nodded. L leaned forward slightly. "Alright I'm sure you know why I wished to speak with you."
"I think I do…" Matt muttered.
"Yeah… You wanna test it right? To see if it's real?"
L nodded.
"Why do we have to test it?" Matt asked. "Why would a Shinigami carry around a fake notebook?"
L shrugged, "Maybe Light told him to do it a long time ago… Maybe he thought it would make things interesting…"
"Well how are we supposed to test it?" L gave Matt a grave but firm look. "Oh NO! You are not killing anyone. WE aren't!"
"Well how else are we supposed to do it Mattie?" Mello said as if this was a dumb response.
Matt frowned, "W-well who are we gonna kill?"
