Monkey: Whoo! What is this weekly updating I'm suddenly doing? I don't know, but hopefully I can keep it up before the Fall 2015 semester starts up lol. There's a super long A/N at the end, I'll tell you guys some stuff lol.

Have fun!


Monday night found Light sitting on the couch with Matt's head on his lap as the eight year old played something on his Gameboy. The brunet sighed as he gently threaded his fingers through his son's red hair.

When Matt's hair color started to come in when he was a baby, Light had been surprised but loved it instantly. He remembered smothering Matt with kisses as the tiny baby gurgled and wiggled. Matt had been such a cute, happy baby, excited at everything but quiet and shy at times as well. Light remembered when Matt first started wobbling in his attempts to walk, especially the first time. How Matt had a look of intense concentration and made it almost three steps before he fell forward and Light caught him in his arms, heart simultaneously elated that Matt was starting to walk and breaking because it meant his son was growing up too fast.

Light wanted to always hug Matt who in his infancy had clung to Light and now only sometimes did it. Tears pricked at his eyes as he thought how soon Matt would grow up, go to college and start a life of his own. Matt was his whole world and one day he would have to watch him leave for bigger and better things.

"—ad? Dad. Dad."

Matt's voice snapped the brunet out of his trip down memory lane only for him to realize that he had pulled Matt into a sitting position on his lap and had his son pulled into a tight hug. Matt was hugging him back, resigned and curious, with his face smushed into Light's chest.

Light loosened his grip a bit and leaned forward to kiss the top of the eight year old's head. "I love you."

Matt smiled and looked shy. "I love you too." He pouted when his father lightly ruffled his hair.

"Time for bed."

"Ok." Matt turned off the Gameboy (he had already died due to his father's sudden hug) and jumped off Light's lap, running to his room to start his nightly routine.

Despite losing Matt's mom, Light felt happy at what his life has become. Blessed, even. Yes, sometimes it was hard and he struggled but he wouldn't give Matt up for anything in the world. Part of him will always love Matt's mom and he knew that she loved them both—she was watching over them with a smile at how their son had grown. Most people would say the eight year old got everything from his father, but Light knew so much of Matt came from his mother.

He could hear Matt scrambling around to get ready and he closed his eyes, a serene expression on his face.

I miss you. I know you'd be happy watching Matt grow up. He's so perfect. I hope you don't mind the stories I tell him of you, he thinks the world of you but I bet you knew that. I've done everything I can but it's hard without you. Light briefly opened his eyes, then closed them again. What do you think of L? I think you'd like him.

"Dad!" Matt called out. "I'm ready!"

Caramel eyes opened and their owner smiled before getting off the couch and heading to Matt's room.

Instead of tucking his son in and kissing him goodnight, Light glanced at the bookshelf, then at Matt who was sitting up in bed, looking up at him curiously. "Want a bedtime story?"

The redhead smiled, pulling his teddy bear in front of him and hugging it tightly. "Can it be The Giver?"

"Sure."


L never regrets having two sons but there are days when Mello and Near simultaneously tried his patience and amused him to no end.

"Boys, for the last time, you are much too young to watch a horror movie before bed. Turn that off and go to sleep."

In a rare moment of brotherly love, Mello and Near were sitting together between a mountain of throw pillows as they watched a movie. There had been popcorn shared earlier but Mello put chocolate syrup on top and Near ate gummy worms instead. They both just finished off their snacks, roughly halfway through the movie.

They didn't listen to L.

"I think if we can read Dracula, we can watch a scary movie," Mello reasoned. Near nodded in agreement then the two jumped when the person on screen opened the door only to have his head sliced clean off.

L shook his head. Earlier, the chances his sons would go to sleep without nightmares were seventy percent. A man on screen ran into an active chainsaw and blood splattered everywhere. Those chances plummeted to fifty-three percent.

A woman's screams scared Near and Mello to the point where they scooted a little closer together on the couch without realizing it.

As much as L appreciated the newfound camaraderie his boys developed while watching this movie, he knew it would lead to trouble later.

Thirty-two percent.

L was a proponent of children having the option to make their own decisions, much like how he was raised, especially given how high their IQs were (although a part of him worried when his sons drugged him for a haircut, but then again that led him to Light so he supposes he shouldn't complain), but there were times when that was a bad thing.

L would use his voice, but if he used it too often, he knew it would lose his power. Instead, he tried to persuade them again.

"Reading classical literature and watching a horror movie are two different things. Your young minds might be capable of—" a child screamed as she watched her mother's eyes be gauged out— "analyzing a story but a movie such as this at your age will stir your imagination into overdrive and you will be plagued by images that will keep you up at night."

"Don't worry, it's not like we won't be able to handle it." Near pointed out. "We are your sons after all."

L smirked as a man on screen had his throat slit open just as he attempted to scream for help. Twelve percent. "I will remind you of that when you have nightmares tonight."

He turned on his heels and went back upstairs, making a mental note to ask Watari later if he had been as bad as his sons.

L had a case that kept him up for a few hours and at two in the morning, he heard a small knock on the door. A soft chuckle escaped his lips as he left the desk and opened the door. He peered down at the nine year old blonde and behind him, a tiny mop of white hair.

"Can we sleep here tonight?" Mello asked, not looking L in the eyes. Near had his arms wrapped around his brother and they squeezed a little tighter in anticipation of their father's answer.

L opened the door a little more. "I take it you two will use this experience to listen when I tell you not to do something?"

Near's eyes popped up just above Mello's shoulder. "Probably not."

L nodded, motioning with his hand for the boys to enter. At least they were honest. They immediately climbed into the detective's bed and hid under the covers.

L went back to his desk, sent his findings to the CIA on their latest case to help them solve the killings before turning off the lights and dimming the light of his computer screen.

"Ah, well, you are my sons after all."


Sayu gave a loud, tired sigh as she leaned over the front counter at Stylin' Cute.

Kiyomi glanced up from her tea and raised a brow. "Everything ok, Sayu?"

"No, everything's not ok." Sayu put her elbow on the counter and her chin on her palm. "When we first opened, we were doing so well, I mean we still get clients now but it isn't the same as it used to be."

Misa came out from the back with a broom and heard their conversation. "I looked at our statements, we're still doing alright."

"Yeah, but it's not enough. Look at this place! It's empty! On a Tuesday! We need a way to bring people in."

Kiyomi hid a smile behind her cup of tea before she took a sip. "Back when Light was almost a regular worker here, he drew a lot of attention."

Sayu gave an ungraceful snort. "My brother gets everyone's attention and never even realizes it."

Misa bounced happily. "That's because he only pays attention to Matt!"

Kiyomi nodded, bringing a finger up to her chin, tapping it a couple times. "I think Light is too much of a family oriented man to be up for dating or actively seeking out someone's attention. However, L being in the picture might change things." She smiled, thinking of the young man who deserved happiness, and who might find it with L.

Sayu slammed her hands on the counter, getting attention from the other two. "I got it! We'll auction off my brother! That'll get us some business!"

Misa giggled, coming up right behind Sayu and offering her the broom. "This isn't a manga, Sayu, and you can't just auction off your brother." Her cheerful demeanor dropped for a second, "What if Mikami were to show up?"

Sayu, who had started spinning the broom, let it fall to the floor. She narrowed her eyes. "He would find a way to come here and try to win him for the night."

Kiyomi waved her hand dismissively, finishing off her tea. "L is rich, he would pay anything for Light to keep him away from Mikami."

Sayu and Misa brightened at that.

Kiyomi shook her head. "Don't even think about it."

The younger two hair stylists pouted in resignation. Misa opened her mouth to speak but the door opening followed by a tinkling bell snapped everyone's attention to the newcomer.

Well, newcomers in this case.

"Man! I never thought it would be so hard to get here!" Mello exclaimed, crossing his arms over his chest with a huff. Behind him, Near and a reluctant Matt stepped into the store.

Sayu immediately lost her shit. "Matt! What are you doing here?! Light will lose his shit when he finds out you cut class!" She rushed over to him, putting her hands all over him to check if he was harmed in any way. If Light found Matt here at Stylin' Cute instead of at school, all signs would point to this being Sayu's fault and he would go mental on her. Matt fussed as she checked him over but she didn't stop until she was satisfied he wasn't fevered, bleeding, bruised or broken. Then she repeated the process with Near and chased down a wide-eyed Mello as well. "What are you three thinking?! It's Tuesday! Last I checked that was a school day! Do Light and L know you're here? Why would you come here they're gonna think it's all my fault!" Sayu collapsed to her knees in despair, hoping against hope that Light's paternal instincts wouldn't lead him here so soon. Misa walked over to her, looking sheepish as she lightly patted the brunette's head.

She looked at the three boys. "What are you guys doing here?"

L's boys looked at Matt who squirmed under all their gazes. "I'm not exactly sure, but my dad is … seeing Mikami? And um, I guess we have to stop it?"

Kiyomi walked over to him and offered him a cookie. "What do you mean, seeing?"

"They're having lunch together?" Matt offered, nibbling on the treat.

The raven-haired hairstylist offered a cookie to Near who took one and Mello, who saw it didn't have chocolate in it and politely refused.

Misa regarded the boys curiously. "So, you were sent by L?"

"No!" the blond boy replied vehemently. "He doesn't know about this."

Near finished off his cookie. "It's likely that he does know considering who he is, but he probably doesn't know that we know, or that we have decided to do something about it." He watched Matt shyly ask Kiyomi for another cookie and the albino had a small smile spread across his face. If nothing else in this world, he and Mello really wanted to stay friends with Matt; that boy was so kind and shy and people were prone to missing what a great person he is. He and Mello were lucky to have stumbled upon another kid like them—they weren't going to let him go so easily.

Sayu stood up, putting her hands on her hips and eyeing each of them critically. "And what have you decided to do?"

Mello stepped in. "Well, we had two options: go in guns blazing to the restaurant they're at, or," Mello paused, sheepishly, "Ok so we haven't gotten that far yet but they'll be on their date soon so we gotta do something!"

"We can't just storm a restaurant again, idiot, you keep getting us kicked out of places we won't be able to go anywhere when we're older," Near chided.

Mello rounded on him. "What'd you say you little rat?"

Matt slid in between the bickering brothers before the adults could and looked curiously at Mello, "What are we going to do?"

Sayu spoke up before the small blond could say anything. "Nothing, Light just texted me that he got a call Matt wasn't in school and he's freaking out, should I tell him you're fine?"

Mello snatched her phone away then proceeded to dial Light's number.

"Oh I don't think this is a good idea," Kiyomi said, Misa nodding in agreement.

The remaining four watched Mello as the phone rang. His face brightened when Light answered. "We have your son!" Mello tried dropping his voice and making it really raspy and Near snorted behind him. Light must have panicked on the other end of the line because Mello's face quickly dropped and he brought up a hand reassuringly, even though Light wouldn't see it. "No, no, hi Light, it's me Mello."

Sayu sniffled in the background, knowing that once Light came here, he was gonna blame her for being a bad influence. Misa came over and offered her a smile which the brunette finally returned. She rubbed the back of her neck and sighed. "I'm gonna need a drink after this, you two wanna join me?"

Kiyomi flicked the side of Sayu's head. "It's barely noon, we don't close for another several hours."

The youngest of the Yagami siblings stuck her tongue out at her.

Mello hung up and the girls realized they missed his half of the conversation. "Well, he's coming here." Something on him beeped and Mello patted himself down until he found the phone on him. His eyes scanned over the screen for a few seconds then, "Oh, and so is our dad. Looks like he found out we ditched too."

Matt cringed. "We are gonna be in so much trouble."

Near took a hold of his hand, surprising everyone in the room. "No, we have this under control, Mello and I will take any blame." His other hand joined Matt's. "Trust us."

Matt stared at Near, a heavy blush spreading across his face. Mello tried to appear cool but the girls could see the small blush on his cheeks as well. The sudden bond between these three surprised everyone, the three included.

It didn't take long for the doors to burst open later, making Sayu shriek and hide behind Kiyomi and Misa. It was Light and behind him, Mikami. Sayu tensed but honestly didn't want to put herself in Light's line of vision.

The taller brunet came skidding to a halt in front of Matt before falling to his knees and pulling Matt into a tight hug. "Why aren't you in school?" He pulled back so he could see Matt's reaction. "When I heard you ditched I completely freaked out."

"That would be our fault," Near cut in and since entering, Light shifted his gaze to the other boys. He raised a brow at them.

"Why aren't you two in school? Does L know?"

The door opened and it revealed the man of the hour. "Oh, I do."

Mello took in a deep breath then let it out in a loud sigh. "Ok, so it was our fault. Near and I thought it'd be fun to ditch today and we thought about getting Matt out because we really like him but let me tell you, it was not easy to get him, but then we were out and we came here because we knew it would be safe until you guys found out." He offered a hesitant smile to the two fathers and while they glanced at each other to see what the other thought, Mello shot a glare to Mikami who had looked angry upon entering but now looked furious. He was completely aware that blond munchkin was mocking him and there was nothing he could do.

Mello was about to stick his tongue out at him but L spoke up first.

"You two are in so much trouble."

Light slowly stood up again, walking over to L. "L, the kids—"

"Light," L stepped closer to him until there was only a foot between them, "I appreciate how much you care about the kids, but my kids are effectively trying to corrupt your son. I will ground them."

Light held L's gaze for a while until Light finally blinked and looked over at Mikami. "I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to have lunch, but we can hang out some other time, alright?"

The raven haired had toned back his anger before Light looked at him and now he looked indifferent to the situation at hand. He offered the brunet a smile. "Not a problem, Light. Do you want me to take you and Matt home?"

Light gave a minute shake of his head. "No, I think I'll stay here for a bit, thanks though."

A muscle twitched in Mikami's jaw but he merely nodded and gave a half-assed smile. "Alright, I'll see you later."

He left and L didn't bother mentioning the man hadn't even said anything to Matt. Speaking of, "Matt, do you feel like my sons are pressuring you to do things you do not want to do?"

Everyone turned to look at the redhead and he squirmed again, wondering how he got this much attention twice in one day. "I like them, please don't make them stop seeing me." His voice wobbled a little and L knew if Light and Matt stayed in their lives, he would be at their complete mercy. L rounded his gaze on his children. "You boys are lucky, you will get off easy." They cheered. "But try anything like this again and I will ship you off to a boarding school in England."

Mello paled and Near winced. They shook their heads.

Near smiled at Matt and took his hand. "You're gonna be good for us."

Mello took the redhead's other hand. "We'll be unstoppable."

Matt shyly grinned. "Sounds like fun."

The girls in the meantime had watched the scene unfold as if it were a drama. Sayu was so happy that she wasn't in any trouble. Misa thought the two families in front of her were so adorable and Kiyomi only hoped that everyone stayed happy.

Light cleared his throat to get L's attention. "I'm sorry about the kids."

L shook his head. "Light, I have long since accepted that my sons are the way they are, I just hope they mend their ways a bit with Matt's help."

The brunet chuckled. "I'm amazed they were all able to ditch school."

"I am not. I will be calling both of their schools and persuading them to upgrade their security." He peered at Light, curiously, "I hope this doesn't change our upcoming date?"

Light looked away with a faint blush. "Of course not."

"Good, I'll see you this weekend then?"

"Alright."

"Great! Now that everything is settled," Sayu jumped in, stepping up beside Light and putting an arm around him, "bro, you wanna cover my shift since you're already here?"


Monkey: Whoo~! Ok, I'm a sucker for fluff, I'm sorry. Yes, there is a plot, yes it is coming, yes you'll meet their moms (some of you guys are guessing and I love seeing them lol, I mean there are only so many women in the DN universe, right? lol), and yes, we'll get somewhere with this fic lol.
