Matt x Mello in the original Death Note universe after the death of L. Warning: Contains some swearing and triggers, being depression and suicidal thoughts. Also, I do not (unfortunately) own Death Note or any of the characters. Enjoy! "When I got to the apartment I changed into some boxers and one of Matt's hideous striped shirts because it smells like him, it smells like cigarette smoke and body spray. I never thought that that awful smell would end up being one of my favorites but it is, if only because to me, it smells like home. I lay on the bed, sobbing until I passed out. This isn't home, it never was. My home is a beautiful freckled red head with a video game addiction and only now do I realize that nowhere will ever be home again. It's taken me a really long time to realize but, home isn't, never was and never will be a house or an apartment or any place for that matter. Home is a feeling and I'm afraid that I'll never have that feeling again."

Mello is forced to recruit Matt, the geek that smokes all day and plays video games, to join his 'gang'. But something is different with him. Mello feels something for Matt. As Matt gains Mello's trust, they begin to fall in love.

This is the sequel to LxLight- change of events and it begins right where the story left off so I'd advise reading that first. However you don't have too obviously! But this story doesn't have much drama in it so I guess you can read it to cheer yourself up or something :). But uh yeah! Enjoy!

Simply a change of events from Light being detained to after the anime. L finds he misses Light and when Light notices something difference in L he works hard to find out who his crush is...
