Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note. Bought a new manga though.

A.N./ Hi... Well, I've been learning some Russian... Not an excuse... I like the way it sounds. Ah! T-T I broke Elle again... Oh, and me being magical is planning on staying up until I set my clock straight. Yeah! Happy New Year! Now all I need is some sparkling cider and I'm good to go. I'm gonna go out shopping soon. The seventh. Yeah, food stamps are great. That's where your taxes are going when you get older. That and medical cards. :-

[Matt's point of view]

Matt, being a genius, excused himself from a very drunk Mello saying he had to go check on Near. Of course, by check on Near he meant wake the kid up and talk to him about what Mello and he had spoke about.

He quietly let himself into the room seeing the little boy fast asleep cuddling one of the pillows next to him. It was an endearing sight and he almost didn't have the heart to wake the small kid. Almost. Of course he did wake him or else he wouldn't be able to speak with him and that didn't make a lick of sense.

"Near, get up for me. You have to wake up. We have something important to discuss." He shook the boy, but Near really didn't seem like he was going to wake up anytime soon.

"I'll give you a picture of when Mello was younger.~" He shook the boy some more, but this time he opened his eyes a bit.

"Matt?" He smiled down at the kid.

"Hey, buddy, we have to speak about a little issue. Do you mind getting up for me just for a little while?" Matt spoke in hushed tones as though he were cooing.

"Okay..."

[Near's point of view]

Near sat up and rubbed his eyes. He really didn't feel like talking, but he figured Matt wouldn't wake him unless it was something important.

"There we are."

"What do you want to speak about?" He figured his tone was laced with sleepiness.

"Well, I want to talk to you about Mello. I know you've probably already figured out that you two can fall out of love..." Matt had paused and Near waited patiently for him to go on while confirming what he though with a small nod, "I want you to know that if that ever happens and you still love him that you just have to make him fall back in love with you. Alright?"

"Yes." Near gave a smile and blinked sleepinly.

"You can go back to sleep now." He nodded and went to go back to sleep hearing Matt slip back out of the room.

[Matt's point of view]

Matt wasn't really sure any of that had actually stuck with Near. He was pretty sleepy... He should stop worrying. It wasn't his kid... It was just going to technically be his best friend's kid.

"Mello?" He stopped. Mello had somehow managed to wreck his entire apartment in the little time Matt was gone without making a sound.

"Hi ya, Mattikins. Oh, this thingamajig happened when... when I was... What was I doing? Oh yeah! I was trying to get the... The fly thing and this happened when I was trying to get it. Yeah..." Matt felt the need for a face palm. He really should keep an eye on drunk Mello. The guy could wreck anything.

"Just go to bed..." Mello nodded and Matt went home... He needed a really good night's rest.

[Mello's point of view]

Mello woke up with a major head ache along with Near cuddling his thigh.

"I hate alcohol." He mumbled climbing out of bed careful not to wake the sleeping angel beside him.

He went to the kitchen. He needed coffee and quite a few pills...

A.N./ Whee! I finished... It's like seven in the morning. I've been up since three in the afternoon. Как ты/ Как дела means how's it going. Yeah! I'm learning. Barely... I don't do well with foreign language. Especially Spanish. I mean, I just can't grasp it. I've even spoke to some people who have already taken Spanish and they tell me it's easy, but I just can't seem to get it. It's like it flies twelve feet above my head. Heehee. Anyone seen West Side Story?
