Our Chocolate Romance - Mello x Reader (Death Note Fanfiction)

The Baby Shower

~{Y/N}'s POV~

"Oi, babes, get up." Mello ordered, playfully shaking me softly.

"Tell that to your son. He kept me up all night." I groaned. By this time, I was 7 months along with an energetic baby to deal with. Especially during the night. The kid always kicks during the night.

"Aw, just get up. Leave the kid alone. His sleeping schedule doesn't line up with yours."

I rolled my eyes and say up. "Well, I like my sleep. I love the kid, but I need my sleep."

Mello smiled and kissed me on the cheek. "Well, I have to go shopping for some stuff, and Matt has something to do already, so do you mind coming with me?"

I groaned in annoyance but agreed. I got up and got ready, grabbing some chocolate on my way out. Mello and I hopped into Matt's car, (we couldn't take the motorcycle with my pregnant self...), and drove to the mall. We hadn't moved the investigation due to the baby, but Mello was working from home. He seemed excited for something, but I couldn't make out what it was.

"Ne, Mel," I questioned. "What's up with you? You seem really cheery today..."

He looked at me like I was crazy. "Eh? What the hell are you talking about?"

I shrugged. "Today you seem... Happier than usual. Did something happen?"

He gave me a grin. "What, is my stoic mood a turn on or something?"

I rolled my eyes but then blushed. "S-shut up, idiot!! Don't be stupid!"

"...so I'm right then, huh?"

I looked away and remained in complete and utter silence. Mello really knew me like the back of his hand, huh?

-FLASHBACK-

"Mello!!" I called, "Matty won't play with me, and L is helping Near with work, so will you play with me?"

The blonde was sitting on the couch reading a novel, and as soon as he heard my voice, he set the book down. "Okay. What do you want to play, {Y/N}?"

I shrugged. "I don't know." My 7-year-old self was bored and had nothing to do, really.

Mello snapped his fingers, something he did when he had an idea. "How about we play 'Family'?"

That game was my favourite game to play with Mello; it gave me a chance to boss him around and not get told off for it. But he never liked playing it, so when he suggested it, I was surprised. "Uh, okay... You be the Husband, I'll be the Wife, and..." I instructed, my voice trailing off in thought. Who's gonna be our kid?

As I was about to ask Mello who our kid would be, Matt walked up to me and ruffled my hair. "Okay, I beat my game. What're we playing?"

Mello shot him a glare. "We're gonna play 'Family'. I thought you told her you weren't gonna play."

Matt took his DS out of his pocket and showed Mello. "I beat my game. She caught me at the final set of levels; a bad time for gamers."

"Well, {Y/N} and I are the husband and wife, so you have to be the kid." Mello said, adding, "Or you can play by yourself."

Matt groaned. "Ugh. Fine."

The next hour consisted of various role play situations, and then we were all called for dinner. I sighed. I was having fun! When Mello saw that I was disappointed, he patted my head, and then snapped his fingers. Again. "Hey, {Y/N}?" He asked, and I looked up at him.

"Yeah, Yellow Mello?" I answered.

"How about, when we get older, we get married in real life? Then we can play Family for real." He said, and my face lit up.
