Fractured Ties (A Death Note Matt x Reader)

Nostalgia

You are suddenly overcome by a sense of comfort, and stay snuggled up between Matt and Mello. It felt like any other day at Wammy's house when there's nothing better to do. The three of you would just stay sprawled on your bed talking about your hopes and dreams, until the sky turns black, illuminated with countless stars. Mello (of course) would ramble on and on about surpassing Near. When it was Matt's turn to speak, he would just shrug and say he wanted a job where he can chill on a couch and play videogames all day and you just wanted to match up to L and become a stronger person in general. You eventually grew tired of watching the rise and fall of Matt and Mello's chest and dozed off on the couch.

"Is (f/n) really asleep?" Matt wondered.

He glanced over at Mello.

"(f/n) seems to be asleep." He said.

They exchanged glances and smirked, with a mischievous glint in their eyes (like the time when they attempted to steal all of L's stash of strawberry cakes). Matt held a finger to his lips. Mello nodded, understanding what he meant. Communicating in only a code of actions and expressions, they spilt a bowl of red (food-colored) water on your jeans, stuffed all of your under-garments into the freezer and drew and wrote (indecent) pictures and phrases all over your face with sharpies. They sat back, and waited for the magic to work.

"Urrgh." You grumble and slowly open your eyes.

You prop yourself up with your elbows and notice the red stains on your jeans. You gasp.

"Goddamn it." You mumble under your breath.

"Why now?"

You realize that Matt and Mello are sitting right beside you, clutching their sides, laughing (really hard).

Your face turned into a shade of deep red.

"Ummm (f/n), you may want to look into a mirror." Matt wheezed in between laughs.

You ran to the bathroom and gaze at your (now messed-up) face.

"MATT, MELLO, I WILL FUCKING MURDER YOU!" You scream.

You chase them around the apartment.

"Please!" Matt begged.

"Don't kill me!"

You stopped in your tracks and think for a second.

"No Matt, I won't kill you. I have a better idea."

You grabbed Matt's videogames and opened the door to the balcony. You dangled them midair, about to drop them onto the street, to be crushed by countless vehicles.

"Nooooo!" Matt cried and ran to the balcony.

"Fine, I promise I won't do it again!"

"You promise?"

Matt nodded vigorously.

You placed his videogames back onto their designated spots. Matt sighed in relief, wiping the sweat off his forehead.

"Time to deal with Mello." You inwardly think.

You see Mello in the kitchen making more of the red liquid.

"Oh so that's what happened to my pants." You purposely say aloud to signal your presence to Mello.

Mello froze in his spot. He knows how you are when pissed off. You head for his chocolate stash and throw the chocolate bars into the oven, and pretend to turn on the oven.
