"I'm sorry to voice my sexual orientation at this time. I cannot hide who I truly am any longer. Mom, dad, I'm gay. No, that sounds too formal. Okay, how about this. I'm sorry, but I am about to tell you something you may not approve of, or necessarily want to hear, or it may upset you. I want to remind you that I will always be your son and I will always love you-but I'm gay. No, damn it, that sounds stupid. Just listen up. You see, mom and dad, I'm a big flamer. I love to take it or give it up the ass. I'm in love with Ryuzaki and we have splendid man sex quite often. At times I fear we may destroy the task force with our violent, marvelous sex. Envious? I know." Light chuckled as L softly smiled, his arms tightly wrapped around his lover. He shut his eyes, enjoying the feeling of being close.

"You fear that we may destroy this building? I must be a better lover than I originally imagined." L murmured into Light's hair. "I'm in favor with the latter speech. It seems to compliment me to your parents. Perhaps that might make them like me a bit more."

"I wish I could say that." Light cuddled closer to L's chest, deeply inhaling his lovers intoxicating scent. "I don't know, L. You have never been in a dilemma quite like mine before, have you?"

"No, I cannot say I have. However, I did have to come out to my gay best friend when I was younger."

"You had a gay best friend?" Light's eyes snapped open. "Really?"

"Yes, and he was my first boyfriend, as well. Too bad he lost his mind. He was the first person I felt true attachment to." Light looked up to see L's emotionless expression. He could see the phantom of pain in his dark eyes.

"What was his name?"

"That's not really important. Ah, perhaps we should go downstairs? I'm certain we could be using this valuable time to continue the hunt for Kira." L disentangled himself from Light, allowing the other to drop onto the bed with a gasp. He tugged on their chain, causing Light to glare.

"Must you always do that? I find it exceedingly annoying." Light snapped, crawling out of the bed.

"You don't seem to mind it in bed," L whispered seductively in Light's ear. Light attempted to repress his shudder, but failed. "Did I succeed in arousing you once again?" L's eyes grew big as he stared at Light. Light cringed away from the gaze.

"Stop acting so creepy!"

"I have the behavior of a creep?" L asked thoughtfully, chewing on his thumb. "Why does this sound familiar?"

"Because you tend to act socially awkward and most people find that inappropriate. It's not normal."

"I'm not normal, Light." He continued with his eyes and smiled. "Do you find my actions inapt?" Light rolled his eyes and drug L in for a kiss.

"I find your awkwardness cute."

"Thank you. So when are we telling your parents that you are indeed a 'Flamer' as you put it?" Light sighed and placed his face in his hands. Okay, L's awkwardness wasn't so cute right now.

XxX

"How the hell do you think you could manage to separate us? We take all of the same classes and he lives in the dorm beside me and Matt. Fuck you, old man. You can't stop Near and I from being together." Mello sneered, fists clenched as he stood beside Near who was currently resided on the floor.

"I will simply transfer you to the older teens wing of the orphanage and arrange you to obtain a new class schedule. This is my orphanage, mind you, I have the final say of everything. Homosexuality is a sin that shall not be tolerated here at Wammy's." Roger snapped. "It is sickening."

"You're probably a big homo yourself! I don't care where the fuck you place me or him, you can't keep me away from Near. I'm tired of pretending that I hate him. I'm tired of trying to surpass him, not that I wont of course. I'm tired of hurting him every time you come around; just to make sure our secret is safe. I'm not going to pretend to be who I'm not. That's not what I do. I'm gay and I'm fucking proud of it, bitch." Mello spat. Near shifted uncomfortably on the floor and leaned against Mello's legs. He didn't want to be separated from Mello. Mello made him feel safe and loved. He made him feel wanted. Then again, he didn't exactly want Mello expelled from Wammy's which was sure to happen if he continued with this behavior. But Near wasn't about to point that out to him. It was best to allow Mello to exercise his anger with Roger so it wasn't directed at him. Mello may not enjoy hurting Near but he seemed to love yelling at him. Then again, that's how Mello worked.

"I shall not tolerate that language or behavior Mello. Think of what L will think." Roger shook his head, disappointed. Mello's jaw dropped.

"L fucking knows. Yeah, he knows. And guess what? He supports us. L isn't a conservative prick like you, Mr. Roger." Mello was trembling now with rage. Fuck Roger! He couldn't threaten them with the L card. Yeah, L fucking knows, bitch.

"Get out of my office. Now. I would have expected this from Mello, but I thought you were smarter Near." Roger removed his glasses and wiped them off, his expression was pained. "Near, pack your things. Since you don't have a roommate, moving you shall be easier. You will have a new room by nightfall."

"No!" Mello exploded. "Near isn't moving anywhere!"

"Enough." Near sharply said, as he slowly stood up. "It's fine, Mello. Let's go." Mello's face contorted into one of silent fury. He took a deep breath and stormed from the room, the door clanging as it hit the wall. Near quietly followed as Mello punched a hole in the wall with every step he took. Heads were peeking out of their rooms to see what was going on. Some appeared surprised, other's not so much. Everybody at Wammy's had grown use to Mello's tirades.

Matt thankfully wasn't in their shared dorm as Mello punched the door open. "I'm leaving, Near. I'm fucking leaving and you can come with me if you want. We'll finally have a good life, just the two of us. We'll figure our way out. We're not the top two students here for nothing." Near stared at him, unsure of how to respond.

Cliffhangers ftw! :D Sorry it took a while to update. I forgot that I hadn't updated since May and I've been on a Death Note marathon all day so it really inspired this chapter. Siiiiigh. Everyone who has intelligence and can read between the lines can totally tell that they love each other. I'm beginning to fall in love with LxLight aaaaallll over again!
