Bathroom Time

By Pink Star Art

Spin off to L's Choice, where an uncovered old video from L changes the boys' futures forever. If you haven't read it yet, this may not make sense, so I recommend that you go read it first! This also isn't Yaoi, but take it how you want.

Chapter 2! Shower Time! is here! Thanks to everyone who reviewed! It made me hurry up and post this faster! Though, I think this isn't as good as the 1st chapter because it's not as straight to the point T-T The conflicts of an author with too many ideas. If you think I added too much worthless dialogue or descriptions anywhere please tell me so I can improve! :D

Anyways, enjoy!

Taking a shower with another male was already awkward, so taking a shower with another male while sharing the same body was…uncomfortably complicated.

"Okay, so here's the plan, sheep. You go hide in the corner of our mind, and I'll take care of the cleansing." M-Nello stated strong headedly, looking straight at the shower knobs in front of them.

"And why would that be necessary?" N-Nello replied, staring down at the bottom of the bathtub Nello was standing in.

"Are you seriously asking me that? Because I don't want you feeling me while I clean." M-Nello stuttered, a blush creeping up on his face.

"Oh, well technically, I'd be feeling," Near snickered, "myself."

"Yeah well, to me, it would feel like you're touching my body! And I don't need no snot-nosed sheep touching my body in any way!"

"It's my body too."

"Know what? Let's just shower." M-Nello sighed exasperated.

"Fine with me" N-Nello stated as he reached for the water tap, receiving a couple of grumbles from Mello inside their head. As the shower turned on, water began to cascade down Nello's perfectly chiseled body, skinny legs, and soaking their curly blonde hair, making it limp as it had been when they first came out all sweaty from the machine. Nello turned around to reach for the Scalp and Neck shampoo, but suddenly froze.

"What?" Questioned N-Nello, as he could no longer control Nello into grabbing the shampoo.

"You're using the wrong shampoo! Scalp and Neck is for dandruff! It'll damage our hair!"

"What?" Questioned a clearly perplexed Near once again. "Then…what do we use? I've heard that this shampoo makes your hair clean the longest."

"Pshh, it's also too strong, so we need to use something softer for you-our hair! Like Mantene! It's designed for silky smooth hair!" M-Nello proceeded to explain, "anyways, if you wash your hair often and are dandruff free there's no need to use something as strong as Scalp and Neck!"

"Interesting" Near commented, raising Nello's eyebrows in the process. "So it's the shampoo that makes your hair so luscious. But I do in fact have dandruff, and taking a shower everyday takes away from my play time. Going to pee already does, so why should I waste more time?"

"Y-you don't? Y-you have dandruff? Is that why my head is so itchy? And are you not white enough already? Now you need to shed white flakes everywhere you go! Yeesh! Fine! We'll use Scalp and Neck, but the conditioner is going to be Mantene!"

"Conditioner? Also, isn't Mantene for women's hair?" Inquired Near, proceeding to reach for the shampoo and applying it to their dripping locks of gold.

"You don't use conditioner either! Then how's your hair so fluffy and-nevermind. MANTENE CAN ALSO BE USED FOR MEN. CAN YOU NOT READ THE MAN IN FRONT?" Ground out M-Nello, taking over the shampooing and furiously rubbing it into their scalp.

"Like I said before, it takes up time." Near retaliated, "also, are you sure you're not female? This hair is really soft, I've never felt anything like it" N-Nello stated as he proceeded to look up towards their bangs with blank eyes and rinse the shampoo out.

"I'm not female! Can't you see the obvious thing that signals that I'm male!" Growled M-Nello, rubbing Mantene into Nello's hair.

"Well, it COULD be that you don't have one and that's mine." Near retaliated with a smirk.

"F YOU. I DO TOO. Well the same applies for you, sheep!" Mello screamed as he rinsed the conditioner gently out of their hair. How Mello managed to treat their hair so gently while being so furious was a great mystery to Near. "When we get our bodies back, we are sooo going to com-"

"HEY." Came a loud shout from outside the bathroom door. "Stop. Screaming. I'm trying to concentrate on a REAL problem here!" Mello easily recognized the voice of his best friend Matt. Nello opened his mouth to shout something back, but the red head cut him off before he could, "and I will NOT vouch for you Mello. And all he did was flash me, Near! We're not gay! Just bros!" And with that final remark, Matt left.

"Let's just keep showering…" muttered M-Nello. And they continued the shower in silence, that is, until they had finished cleaning the upper portion of their body and needed to clean the other half…

"Near. Get out of my head." Nello stated blankly.

"Hmm? This again?" Near responded mutely.

"Yes, now, So I can clean."

"Go ahead, I don't care. It's not like we can even do mind take overs momentarily. I'll always be here in you."

"N-no! I can't clean there if you're here!" M-Nello exclaimed.

Giving a shrug N-Nello responded, "it doesn't really matter, it's my body too."

"T-that's the problem! I don't want you here when I t-touch your-uh-our part!"

"And what do you want me to do if not being here is impossible?" Questioned Near, curious as to how Mello would answer.

"I dunno…go to sleep or something! That way it won't be as weird when I touch you-us! When I touch us!"

"Tch. You sound like an incompetent pedo-rapist." Near responded with a devious grin spread across Nello's face.

"I AM NOT." Mello shouted, enraged at being made fun of. HE, was supposed to be the smooth-snarky one! Not Near! "Darn!"

"Hmm, that's odd." Said Near monotonously. "That was strangely…out of character…"

Huh? Thought Mello, so he noticed too?

I noticed? Thought Near.

F***. Thought Mello, how can you hear me! We couldn't hear each other before!

That is a conundrum. Thought Near back. Maybe the longer we share a body, the more our minds will meld into one mind. Hence, your personality is leaking into mine to create ONE MIND.

"F***." Nello out rightly stated. "MATT!"

"Y-yeah!" Exclaimed the startled red-head, bursting into the bathroom 2 seconds after he was called.

"Matt, we have a problem." Stated Nello, who proceeded to explain their theory. Matt went over to the toilet to take a seat and listen.

"S-so," started Matt, trying not to look at the chimera standing under the water behind the shower curtains, "you can't wash, down there, because your minds are melding together and it feels awkward for Mello to wash while Near can feel everything too?"

"Yup." Stated Nello, pulling aside the curtain and slamming his hands on the bathtub rim for emphasis. "So how are we supposed to wash now?"

"W-well," Matt stuttered, turning red at his best friend exposing this new body so easily. He should've been used to it by now, and he probably was, but this new body he was not used to. Hey, he was an innocent guy. Even during PE he had to change in the toilet stall. He just couldn't get how some guys could be stark naked in front of others so easily. And he couldn't even BEGIN to fathom how they could compare sizes so easily. Maybe it was because he wasn't worth comparing? He was known for being abnormally small, and being friends with Mello didn't help. He was always in his shadow. "Uh, maybeee," Matt mumbled, standing up to get a better glance at Nello's lower half, which was hidden by the bathtub the way Nello was leaning against it. Maybe this new body of his will finally let me win! Especially since he's with Near, and Near would probably be pretty small if I remember right, Matt thought, hopeful. "Maybe, you can take a bath instead?" Matt quipped.

"…"

"…"

"oh, that's a pretty good idea," replied Nello. Nodding according to both boys' wills.

"Thanks Matt," said M-Nello, "you can leave." M-Nello commanded, a grin on his face. Their problem was finally solved! They wouldn't have to touch anything! As Matt began to make his way out, N-Nello stopped him. "Matt?"

"Yeah?" Uttered Matt back, as he was about to close the door behind him.

"How'd you get here so fast? I thought you were working in the other room?" Questioned N-Nello, glancing at him knowingly. A brief flash of shock crossed Nello's face as Mello picked up on what Near was thinking.

"Uh-oh! I was just passing…BYE!" Matt shouted and ran off. Rats. Caught. Matt thought as he sprinted away from the bathroom, "now I'll never find out what shoe size this new Mello has." Matt uttered, "Darn me and my tiny feet…even these cool over-sized boots aren't enough to save me from embarrassment."

Enjoyed it? Constructive criticism greatly appreciated!

Haha, you guys are probably tired of all these twists, but it's hard for me to write so scandalously haha. My goal was NOT to confuse everyone.

Thank you for reading!
