Act 6

L came back from the other room dragging a disordered Light behind him. He stopped at the sight of the two blonds sitting and laughing on the bed. His eyes didn’t change as a smirk splayed on his thin pale lips. He cleared his throat causing the two to glance his way. “I don’t think that this is very appropriate behavior for two children who have just meet, am I right?” He said turning to the exhausted brunet.

“I don’t see what the harm is, L.” He said rubbing his temples and looking over the scene.

“Clearly the night has killed your senses, Light. For I see an overly compromising position myself.” L stated

Mello looked around himself and jumped off the bed suddenly when he saw how close his hand was to the girls thigh. A heavy blush covered his face and he marched/stomped out of the room yelling “PERVERTED PANDA! I DIDN’T EVEN KNOWTIS THAT!”

L chuckled deep in his throat and pulling Light with him he moved to the door. “Good night, my ladies” he said addressing the two remaining girls “I’m off and I’m sure your friend will be back soon enough. Don’t worry about her, Matt’s very docile.” He started to close the doors then stopped and popped his head back in "By the way I’ll ask for immediate lights out since I’d rather Near to sleep with out interruption. Thank you.”

When the door shut both girl looked at each other. “Well.” Marge sighed “I’m going to bed I guess.” With that she jumped under the covers and lay still. She had a horrible weakness for children and would ACTUALLY listen if meant they were involved. Not to meantion it WAS for the hottie raven man! Hehe!

“I’ll wait up for Tsuki then.” Kara said sitting down and running a comb through her short hair.

About an hour later Tsuki came back still playing on her DS. She said flopping down on her bed. “WE wer’e tolled t’ go t’ bed by some jerk in de café.” She mumbled obviously taking her anger out on the suddenly defenseless N.P. characters.

“Hahaha! Sucks for you, huh? Should of stayed anyway.” The tanned girl said just sitting by the window when the light went out. How long she was there she didn’t know but she started when a shadow was suddenly cast over their window.

“Wha-?” she whispered pulling away from the frame to watch what the figure did. She could hear hushed whispers. Eaten with natural curiosity she peaked through the curtain to see Mello balanced on the railing talking with Matt. It looked like the blond was leaving or something, she pressed closer to try to see if she was right.

“L’s gonna kill you, you know.” The red head said blowing a wisp of smoke out into the warm sea air.

“Shut up.” Mello muttered with distaste. “Besides, it’s not like I’m going out by myself.”

“Oh?” Matt said “And who is the unfortunate person to be dragged into your plot?”

“That cute girl from next door of course.” Mello stated sitting up proud.

The red head hung his head to stifle his laughing “You’re an ass, man.” He blurted “What makes you thing that she’s gonna trust YOU enough to stalk the streets and get killed for it later?” he ignored the deep frown his friend was sending him and continued. “How would you ask her? Would you play it up like a date? Remember she is a girl. And a stranger still at the same time.”

“How was YOUR date with Tsuki, Matt?” Mello said moving closer so the gamer couldn’t leave his range of vision.

Matt stared for a moment then turned away waving. Mello returned a not to kind gesture before he carefully stood and hopped to the girl’s window. He took out some chocolate to help him think and calm his nerves. Why did he so want this!? It was stupid, but great all in one. He shook his head while turning to toss his trash. He turned to the window and doing one more check over of himself softly tapped.

Kara had stepped away some when the teen had appeared in the frame. She didn’t want him thinking she had been up this whole time. Which she had been but hey why should he know? Right? He didn’t need to know he was already found out by the very person he came to see? Right? Right!

She heard the tapping and froze. She walked over to the window betraying no emotions and calmly opened it to see the boy looking like he was going to do it again.

“Oh?” he said with his Cheshire cat smile “Did you like what you heard?” He sat on the sill and watched her eyes almost open more a fraction.

Remembering what she had been taught about lying she opted to just ask her own. “Well then we’re we going?” She felt her insides churn at the idea of being caught she should have just left them alone. Maybe.....

“It’s o.k.” He said pulling her onto the window and helping her climb down using the jutting sides for support. “And I’m taking you to a coffee shop down the road. We can talk and not be stopped by parties left not mentioned.” He snickered as they reached the bottom. “Come on.” He said pulling her along.

“Trust me.” She said rolling her eyes “With the grip you have on my hand I couldn’t go anywhere if I wanted.” She watched his face heat up but he just squeezed harder. ‘Not that I would go anywhere.’ She smiled to herself.

“Yeah well, don’t try.” He stated pulling her into the coffee joint “because I didn’t just risk missing my mocha coffee to be rejected or tattled on.”

“And so you threaten the unfortunate gamer.” Eyes meat at that then they both chuckled and Mello shook his shaggy head.

“Guess I owe him more then I’ll ever admit.” He picked at the dust on the table “What will you have anyway?”

“The same.” Kara said as though it was the most obvious thing on earth.

This got her a grin from the other who got up and placed their order. They waited in silence. The order was called and two very satisfied teens sat in comfort while simple talk was exchanged and mochas were critiqued. They stayed till the shop closed at 1 am and quietly made their way back to their individual rooms. Sending each other a smile and a wave. The game couldn’t get better then this.

Until the others woke up and then the night was spent teasing and fitting till dawn.
