Chapter 10: Victory

"Matt, wake up! I'm gonna be leaving soon!" B called as he tapped on the door.

"I'm up, I'm up!" Matt yawned, opening the door.

"Any plans for the last few hours at UoW?" L asked, sitting on the couch, eating some gummy bears.

"Mello, Matt, Near, what are you guys planning to do?"

"Study." Mello said, leaning against the door frame.

"Video games." the redhead said as he stole a few gummy bears from L.

"I was planning to go to the grocery store. We have little food left." Near said, examining the empty cupboards.

"I'll go with you. I'm sure you won't be able to carry that much bags. Mikami, you wanna go too?" Gevanni asked, peering at the cupboards too.

"Sure." Mikami said, glaring at L's hand which was rubbing circles on Light's hip.

"Let's go! See you soon!" Gevanni said, as the three left. "We're gonna bus there, so we might take a while."

"Bye Near! Remember to get my Red Bull!" Matt said. He gave Near some money.

"And my chocolate. The expensive milk chocolate, not that cheap shit at the register," Mello snarled, handing the younger a 20. "and I expect the change."

"I will. Bye." Near nodded, hurrying after Gevanni and Mikami.

"Poor kid. He's gonna get scared." L said, popping six gummy bears into his mouth to hide them from Matt.

"Dude, L! I want the gummy bears!" the redhead glared.

"Near will buy some more. I hope he will remember the strawberries." the older said, looking at Matt boredly.

"Okay. Matt, Mello, wanna go outside and wait in the sun?" B asked.

"Sure. Later." Matt called as he, B and Mello left.

"Bye B!" Mello said as he and Matt followed the other to the limousine.

"See you soon, Mel. Remember, London, Winter Break, baby. See ya in a few months!" B yelled,reaching over for a hug which Mello quickly returned.

"Can't wait. See ya, BB." Matt said, giving B a hug.

"See ya, Matt." B said, returning the hug.

"Yeah, Grandpa, I'll be fine." L said as he walked out of the dorm, with Light and Wammy beside him.

"Thank you for accepting us, Wammy-san." Light said smiling.

"You are L's best friend, Light. Of course I accept you two." Wammy said in Japanese, bowing respectively.

"Thank you." L said also, smiling. "Have a safe drive back, and I'll see you soon!"

"Bye bro!" B called, stepping up to L and hugging him. L hugged back, they let go a minute later.

"Bye B. Stay safe!"

"Bye Light. See you in a few months!"

"I can't wait, B! See you!"

"Well, that was fun. I can't wait until the next break. Matty, you, L and Light are gonna have to show me around London." Mello gushed, smiling excitedly.

"Yeah." Matt laughed. The two were taking a walk around campus, taking in the warm spring day.

"Where did Near disappear to?" Matt asked a while later, forgetting where Near went

"I didn't see the sheep for a while. How the hell should I know?" Mello asked, yawning.

"Hmm, he was awake this morning. Didn't he go to the grocery store, or somewhere?" the redhead said, pulling his phone out. "Yo, Near, where are you?....Right, sorry......Kay, meetcha there."

"I was right, Near's at the grocery store." he explained, as Mello sighed. "I promised we'd meet him."

"And we're going all the way to town, because?"

"To make sure Near doesn't die carrying heavy bags. He went with Mikami and Gevanni, but they somehow got side tracked somewhere else."

"Eww, spare the details." Mello shuddered. "How are we gonna get there?"

"We can bus there." Matt suggested.

"Hell no. Wanna drive there?"

"How? Grand theft auto?"

"No. I can borrow it from one of the people that live close to here." Mello smirked as he pulled Matt along towards the town

"From who?" Matt asked.

"You know someone named Rod Ross?"

"The owner of that big-ass club where no one can ever get in, right?" Matt stopped when his mind caught up, his eyes wide. "You KNOW HIM?"

"Yeah. He's also a leader of a sect of the Mafia." Mello nodded.

"Fuck."

"I know. He rarely even lets the under 20's in. But, I can get us on the guest list some time."

"I love you, man." Matt smiled, jumping up and down. "But still, Mafia? How did you get involved?"

"I snuck away from the orphanage alot as a teen. I met Ross, and ended up helping him on a drug mission."

"You do...?"

"Fuck no." Mello said as he turned a street corner. Matt nodded as he followed, trying to process the information.

"Hey, Ross baby! It's Mel......Can I borrow a car?.......Yeah, need to pick up a housemate....See you in a few." the blond said into his phone as he leaned against the wall of a brick building with a dim sign proclaiming 'Club Neon'

"We have to wait a few minutes."

"You can get a car, just like that? Damn, Mel, you're impressive!" Matt said, eyes wide.

"Yeah, yeah. I know." Mello smirked, just as a red Ferrari pulled up.

"Mello!" A tall, bruly man said as he exited the car. From the passenger seat, a sluttily dressed blonde girl got up, and rushed over as fast as she could to Ross.

"Ross, my man!" Mello smirked, fist bumping the other man. "Thanks!"

"No prob. Just call me and I'll get someone to pick it up."

"Kay. Matt, sit." Mello waved, and got into the car.

"Whooaaawwwssaaaa." the redhead sighed, staring at the car.

"It runs amazingly." the older smirked, as he drove off.

"Hey Near! Mel and I are gonna be there in a few.....no, Mello borrowed a car.....You'll know.....Kay, see ya." Matt said into his phone as Mello drove the foreign car.

"We're here!" he announced a few minutes as he slid to a stop outside the store. People ogled the red car as Matt leaned out the window, waiting for Near, Gevanni and Mikami.

"HEYY, NEEAAARRRR!" Matt screamed as the small boy walked out the doors, carrying a few bags.

"Hello Matt, Mello." he said as he slid into the back seat. Gevanni and Mikami emerged a few minutes later, also carrying bags.

"Mello, Matt, you two didn't steal this car, right?" Gevanni asked nervously.

"No. All legal." Mello smirked as he sped off.

"L, wanna sit here for a while?" Light asked, leaning against a tree.

"I hate the weather, Light. It's too hot!" L sighed.

"It's in the shade. We'll be fine." the caramel haired boy said, sighing as he sat on the grass.

"Hey, Light, can I, umm, ask you something?" L looked over at the other boy, his cheeks light pink.

"Yeah, L. Wassup?"

"Uhh, never mind." L muttered, blushing deeper red.

"L, tell me." Light said, leaning forward until their foreheads rested together.

"I love you, and, umm will you be my boyfriend?" the raven asked, reaching in his pocket to pull out a pair of silver rings.

"Yeah." Light smiled, moving his head to the side to kiss L. The older smiled into the kiss, and slipped the larger ring on Light's left hand.

"Mine." he whispered a few moments later, kissing the younger's cheek.

"I love you too, Lawliet." Light whispered, smiling.

And what the two didn't notice was a blonde girl staring at them with tears in her eyes. Misa sobbed, and ran back to her dorm.

"That's it, Takada! I'm going to do it!" Misa announced to her friend as she walked into Takada's room.

"Are you sure, Misa?" Takada asked, flipping over onto her stomach. "What happened?"

"L and Light are boyfriends! I just thought they were a fuck buddy thing, but Light loves that panda bitch!" Misa said as she sat down, fighting her tears. "Why?"

"He's gay for L, Misa. Sweetie, it'll get better. Your plan will work, I'm sure of it!" Takada said, hugging the girl.

"It will, Kiyomi, I know it will. Now, help me pick something to wear?"

"Sure."

"There you are! We've been worried!" Light said as he stomped out to help with bags.

"Don't bullshit, you were fucking L the entire time." Mello sneered.

"No I was not! " The older said, his face red.

"You got strawberries." L said smiling as he walked upstairs happily.

"And how much chocolate and Red Bull did you buy?" Light asked, gazing at the bags in wonder.

"Enough for a week." Matt smirked, pulling the bags up.

"So, what are we gonna do now?" Near asked, after they put everything away.

"Well, we cou-" the redhead started, but he was cut off by his phone.

"Hello?....Hey Misa!....Yeah.....Yeah....Okay, sure....see ya."

"Misa called. She says she needs to talk to me about something important. And she's like crying spazzing." he said as he waved and left.

"What was that shit about?" Mello asked, looking at Matt's retreating back. "I thought he was avoiding the slut."

"He should tell us about it later." Near said, looking up at Mello from the floor.

"I'll be in my room studying. Later, sheep."

"Hey, Misa! Are you alright?" Matt asked, knocking on the door to her room. He had jogged the way to Tokyo Dorm when Misa called him in tears, begging for his help. She had told him that he was her most trusted guy friend. And, being the good friend Matt is, he rushed to help her.

"Yeah, come in, Matty." she smiled, poking her head out the door. Matt smiled and walked in. Misa smirked as she locked the door.

"What's the matter, Misa?" the redhead asked, turning to look at her. She giggled, and sauntered over to him.

"I need your help, Matty." she whispered, fluttering her eyelids. Matt's eyes grew a bit bigger as he looked at Misa. Her hair was perfect as was her make-up. She didn't look like she cried at all.

"You tricked me." he said. sighing.

"Well, no no." the blonde wagged her finger. "I really need your help."

"Fine. What is it?" Matt asked, leaning against her desk. Misa walked over, her face cheerfully blank.

"Well-" she trailed off, wrapping an arm around his shoulders. Misa pushed her body against Matt's, and tilted her head up, an attempt at a cute smile on her face. "Be my boyfriend." Moving her head up a few inches, she sealed it with a kiss.

A/N:

I hate this chapter. I could barely write it :[ But at least I got the plot in :]

Before any of you kill me, this is very, very, very important! After chapter 14, Misa's not gonna appear as often, so bear with it. It leads to the most important parts of the story!

And, please pick 1, and tell me which in a review. Mikami/Misa and Gevanni/Near (Mikami and Gevanni break up) or Mikami/Gevanni and Near/Misa (Unlikely coupling at the end)

I'm almost at 100 reviews! Thank you so much! Since I still have a story gift to write, The 100th reviewer will get a chapter of UL dedicated to them. Meaning, you can choose anything that happens. As long as it is logical in the story, of course. (Meaning, no killing off Near or Misa.) Also, keep in mind that it will be after chapter 21, though. Lemons, cross dressing, plot change, maybe a chapter about BB, whatever your mind conjures up, you will get :)
