A.N./ She said yes! Okay, so I'm extremely happy now. I bet you all can't even wait to read this chapter. I shall make it funny. Heehee. I'm going to be eating dinner while writing this. Oh for those who don't know, I'm in central time so it'll be difficult for me to update when everyone can read it. Heh. My Russian name is Jelena Lidija Lebedev. Well, onto the story! I just watched this strange '80's movie called Alice. It's on Netflix.

[Mello's point of view]

Mello opened the door to reveal Sayu, Misa, and Linda.

"Geez, coming with a kid in the room. Mello, you pervert!" Misa exclaimed. Mello just rolled his eyes and stepped out of the way to let the girls in.

"Misa, you're the pervert for even thinking that." Though Mello was pretty sure having sex with his angel last night definitely made him a pervert. Well, it wasn't like Misa knew that. She could since the walls were really thin but Mello really didn't take that into consideration.

"How rude." Mello walked back over to the kitchen after he shut the door.

"Everyone take a seat and we'll wait for the others to arrive. They should be here any minute."

Knock knock knock.

Ugh. They couldn't even wait until he sat down to come a knocking.

Mello got up and opened the door a second time. This time the doorway held Light, L, and Matt.

"Mattykins, I'm so glad you could come. Now we have something very important to discuss." (A.N./ I really didn't think when I invited L over. L is a cop. Let's just ignore that.) Mello pulled Matt over into the living room leaving the rest of the guest to do as they pleased though that probably wasn't the best idea.

"Okay, I think I remember what I was going to tell you."

"Good. Then, please tell me before we go back to the kitchen." Mello waited impatiently for Matt to say whatever the Hell he had needed him to say around five this morning.

"Okay. Did you call social services yet?" Mello shook his head.

"No, I haven't."

"Well, you should do that first." Mello felt the need to bang his head against the wall for some odd reason.

"That won't help at the moment. We. Can. Do. That. After. Breakfast." Mello said through clenched teeth.

"Good idea. Best to handle that on a full stomach. So, you want to hear what I was gonna say or not?" Mello smacked his hand against his head.

"Yes!"

"Okay, then stop distracting me."

"I wasn't dis-" Mello was cut off when L walked into the room.

"Mello, you are out of sweets." Mello rolled his eyes.

"All of the sweets are in the cabinet." Mello sighed.

"Alright, and we are waiting for you all to start breakfast." Mello nodded.

"We'll be there in a second."

"No, we're coming." Matt walked into the kitchen and left Mello standing there with an open jaw.

"Mello, close your mouth or you'll catch flies." L told him as he walked back into the kitchen. Mello just sighed and followed after him.

[Near's point of view]

Near sat there while Misa and Sayu gushed on how cute he was. He never understood why women would always gush over a cute kid. He just didn't understand.

Near looked over at L who was at the moment consuming numerous sweets at one time. Near didn't even think that was humanly possible until he saw this man do it.

"Near, you are staring at me."

"Yes, I am." Near answered as a matter of fact. L just looked down at the cake he was about to consume.

"Would you like a piece of this cake?" Near shook his head.

"Alright. Oh yes, by the way, what is your real name?"

"...Near..." Near didn't feel the need to give L his real name.

"I do not suppose that is your real name."

"No, but I don't want to give you my real name."

"Has Mello called social services yet?" Near shook his head.

"No, but I don't want him to. I don't want to go back to my foster father."

"I see. That is not your decision however. If need be social services can conduct a home investigation but you need to go back." Near could feel his eyes starting to water up.

"NO! I AM NEVER GOING BACK! I WANT TO STAY WITH MELLO!" Near screeched at the top of his lungs. Just as Near started screaming Mello walked into the kitchen.

Mello scooped Near up in his arms. Near couldn't get over the feeling of being safe in Mello's arms. He just ended up snuggling against Mello's neck and sobbing slightly.

[Mello's point of view]

Mello had just walked into the kitchen when Near started screaming. He ended up scooping him up in his arms.

Mello stood there holding Near and glaring daggers at L. That man had no right to upset his sweet, little angel.

"L, may I speak with you in the living room." Mello barely kept his voice under control as he made a gesture with his head towards the living room.

"Mello, it can wait until after breakfast. Sit down with us and eat." L had a demanding tone to his voice that just made Mello pissed of even more. Never the less Mello sat down with Near in his arms still. He grabbed a biscuit, some bacon, and scrambled eggs. He ate them without tasting a single bite.

"L, since I am finished do you mind if we have a word together." Mello spit out through clenched teeth.

"Hey, Mello, you invited me over for a reason." Sayu interrupted before Mello could start a blood bath.

"Huh?"

"Don't huh me. Why'd you want me over in the first place?" Mello sat there for a second trying to figure out how to say 'I want you to help me steal some priceless jewels for a mafia boss for my innitiation into the mafia' in front of L and Light who were of the police career.

"Uhm... Right. Well, you see... Err. Matty my boy, please figure out how to tell Sayu what I need to tell her with Light and L in the room." Mello smiled at Matt hoping he had a better answer than him.

"Oh, he wants your help on a job of sorts that my boss wanted me to do but I couldn't so I asked Mello and Mello said it would be best if you could help us seeing as you were a former thief." Mello could kiss Matt right about now, not that he was going to.

"Yes, that is exactly the explanation that I needed!" Mello exclaimed happily and gave Near a kiss ontop of his snow white curls. Near just looked up at him with big, puppy dog eyes. If Mello was a girl he would squeal but since Mello isn't a girl he let out a happy nose that sounded like a squeal.

"Eeeek! You're so cute." Mello squeezed Near just enough not to hurt the small boy in his arms.

"Mello, you are really affectionate to, uhm, Near was it?" Light asked across the table.

"Yeah, I can't help but love the kid." Mello answered with a smile.

"So, if we don't know Near's real name, do you think that we could have me apply to be his foster parent using my police influence." Mello asked L as nicely as he could.

"Hmm. We might be able to do that as long as you apply to be a foster parent first." Mello could have jumped for joy when L said that.

"Really?"

"Yes." Mello gave Near another hug.

"I can stay after breakfast to discuss my need then." Sayu said breaking up the conversation about foster parents and whatnot.

"Thanks."

[Near's point of view]

Near looked up at Mello and smiled. He was really excited he wouldn't be tooken away from Mello. He never wanted to go back to his old foster home ever again. He hated his foster father.

"Does this mean I get to stay with Mello?" Near asked innocently to Linda.

"Yeah, that's basically what it means, sweetie." Near smiled at her. He liked Linda. She was really nice. He wasn't sure if he liked Misa or not because she had a tendency to talk a lot. She often wouldn't shut up. That was just Near's opinion though.

Near grabbed a biscuit and started to nibble on it. Today was going to be a really good day.

A.N./ Okay, so this is a whole chapter devoted to breakfast. It's not as funny as I hoped it would be when I started writing it. Believe it or not this took me an hour to write. That is a long time. Not too long a time but still a long time. This is a longer chapter I hope and I hope it seemed more of a chapter than my last two. I have pizza. I love pizza. I love food in general but I love pizza. I'll try and update soon.
