In Charge, Chapter 29: Honesty

Fandom: Death Note (no Death Note AU)

Characters: Near, Matt, Mello, L, Teru Mikami, a whole bunch of cameos from canon characters as supporting cast

Ships: Shippy Gen with a friendship triangle (whee!)

Rating: M for violence and Mikami (you'll see) Summary:

Summary:

Matt, Mello and Near work under their mentor, world-famous genius detective L, training to become detectives someday themselves. Matt is generally okay with being in third place when compared to Mello and Near, but things are about to change. When Near suddenly collapses while he and Matt are home alone, the redhead finds himself in charge for the first time ever.

Matt rushes Near to the hospital. Just as a friendship begins to form between the two boys, Mello arrives and complicates the dynamic. Things go from bad to worse, as Near's obsessive nurse Mikami abducts him from the hospital, and Matt, Mello and L must work together to recover him.

(Continuing to add to my Death Note fanfic I first published in 2008. it's only a few chapters from finished after this, so I'm gonna finish it once and for all. We have to get Near some closure for all that I've put him through...

Chapter 1 has detailed content warning info, so be sure to read the author's note!)

Writing Update

I’ve been working on a Matt/Mello fanfic for the last few months. I’m doing something new where I’m going to write the entire story before posting instead of posting as I write chapters. 

The fic is a timeline AU where Light is caught before either Mello or Near are able to catch him, and Mello leaves the orphanage at 16 instead of 14/15. It’s a Mello-centric fic, focusing on his efforts to find a new way to “beat Near” now that Kira is gone. 

I’m currently at around 65k words, and the story is about 50% done. I’m balancing writing with med school so it’ll take some time but I’m hoping to have it done around Summer/early Fall. 

This is the most intensive fic I’ve ever written as far as background research, plot development, and length, but I’m super happy with how it’s coming along. 

Anyway, here’s the working summary 

It’s been two years since the sudden disappearance of Kira and the resulting rebound of criminal activity around the world. Near has taken over the duties of the world’s greatest detective, L and Matt has joined the ranks of the decimated FBI. Mello’s whereabouts have remained unknown since his departure from the Wammy’s House orphanage in 2005, but when a copycat serial killer, dubbed “Mob Kira” begins to get attention, the three cross paths cross again. A chance encounter with an old friend sets off a domino effect revealing the secrets of a life spent in the shadows.

Murder. Betrayal. Love and revenge.

The story will be posted once it’s done on my AO3 and Wattpad. Links will posted on here too, but if you want to follow me on either of those sites feel free <3 

[eyecicles]

give me ALL THE QUESTIONS THEN please

MelloxMatt:

1. Who makes the first move and how?

Technically Mello, even though Matt had flirted with him for literal years:

“Hey Mello, your ass look great in those pants.”

“Yeah? Wanna touch it?”

“Are you fucking with me?”

“Only if you kiss me first.”

2. Who is the most insecure and what makes them feel better?

Definitely Mello. And like a lot of other DN characters, Mello places his entire sense of self-worth on a single goal, so there isn’t much you could try to cheer him up with. But I think he probably appreciates how much Matt trusts him and his abilities & Matt knows that there’s not much else he can do for him. Mello is not exactly the type who lets himself getting comforting by some nice words.

3. Who is the most romantic?

Neither of them is terribly romantic, haha. And that’s probably what they like about each other.

4. Who can’t keep their hands to themselves?

Matt. He doesn’t care what other people think and Mello wears clothes that are nice to touch all the time, so it’s his fault anyway (from point of his view). Mello doesn’t really mind as long as Matt doesn’t get his leather dirty.

5. Who says ‘I love you’ first?

Poor Mello is completely stunted emotionally, so I guess that falls on Matt. It would be in the middle of them lazing around & eating junk food together. “Dude, I love you, you know that, right?”

6. Who would they ask if they ever had a threesome?

Matt would ask Near just for the lolz. Mello isn’t interested in casual threesomes so this would only work in a polyamorous relationship, imo.

7. What do they get up to on a night out?

They would break into an observatory or some shit

8. What do they like in bed?

I like to think of Mello as a powerbottom. He’s very intense and straightforward with lots of biting kisses, tongue, and tugging, and Matt would totally be into that. Probably loves to get ridden by Mello. And honestly, I think getting topped by Mello would be a scary but interesting experience - something you only want to do a couple of times. So while Matt wouldn’t be totally against it, he would only do it every few months or so.

Matt would also love to watch Mello strip, while Mello would get turned on by Matt’s adoring gaze. (Totally another DN character with a praise kink, ha!)

They would also be into simple humping and handjobs, I think, but I also hc Mello to be someone who gives great head, so yeah.

I’m sure both of them are pretty dirty and kinky, so I don’t even want to know what else they might do with each other.

9. What is the most embarrassing thing they have done in front of each other?

Like L, Matt does everything in front of his partner. But one of the most embarrassing things was actually when he kicked in his monitor because some 12 years old set his helicopter on fire in GTA.

The most embarrassing thing Mello did, was falling asleep with a piece of chocolate in his open mouth.

10. What two songs, two books and two luxury items do they take to a desert island?

Mello: Never Enough by The Cure, probably one of his own unfinished books so he can work on it there, a gun

Matt: Make It Wit Chu by Queens of The Stone Age, some shitty erotica, his NIntendo DS

11. What do they hide from one another?

Mello hides how hard he actually works. He wants to look competent and ingeniouseffortlessly.

Matt probably only hides some of his more disgusting porn magazines, haha

12. What first changes when it starts getting serious?

Their relationship is based on a years-long friendship and I don’t think much would change. One day, they would look back and realise how long they already know each other, how long they made this relationship work and that they’re still an extremely good team, and that’s it.

13. When do they realise they should get together?

After the first time they have sex. Turns out sleeping with someone you care about can be more fulfilling than casual sex, after all.

14. When one has a cold, what does the other do?

Mello sends Matt to the bedroom because he doesn’t want his bacteria anywhere near him.

Matt probably just laughs at Mello sniffling and sweating andmaybe offers him minty bubble gum.

15. When they watch a film what do they choose and why? Who gets the final vote?

I think they both are fans of Tarantino but it’s definitely Mello who gets the final vote, if they can’t agree on a movie. Matt also likes stuff with zombies, while Mello finds them ugly and prefers movies with a nicer (but still gritty) aesthetic.

16. When the zombie apocalypse comes, how do they cope together?

With lots of dark humour, guns, and geekiness. They would do well enough, I imagine.

17. When they find a time machine, where do they go?

Oooh, that’s interesting! Probably to the future, but not to a date too many years ahead. Matt wants to see new technology and Mello just likes knowing things no one else knows about.

This actually sounds like a hilarious AU idea!

18. When they fight, how do they make up?

Matt will mainly make up via lame jokes but in a way that would make it clear to Mello that he’s sincerely sorry. Mello would simply invite Matt to a ride on his bike. If he’s still angry, though, it wouldn’t be the most comfortable experience, haha.

19. Where do they go on their first date?

I doubt they would go on “dates”

20. Where do they go on holiday?

Mainly California and Japan. I also have this hc that they would eventually buy a house in Brazil.

21. Where do they get nervous about going with one another?

They would be a bit nervous about the possibility of ruining their lifelong friendship but otherwise they feel pretty secure and chill with each other & don’ think there’s much to worry about

22. Where does their first kiss happen?

In a shitty hotel room, right after Matt compliments Mello’s ass for the 973th time

23. Where is their favourite place to be together?

In Matt’s car

24. Where do they first have sex?

Also in a shitty hotel room - most likely on the floor. Mello prefers to have sex on hard surfaces & they rarely do it in bed.

25. Why do they fight?

They don’t fight often but Mello gets angry at Matt when he can sense that he’s worried about him. He wants Matt’s complete trust, no matter how insane his plans are.

26. Why do they need to have a serious chat?

Uuh, definitely about Mello’s inferiority complex. Good luck, Matt, I don’t want to be you.

27. Why do their friends get annoyed with them?

Because they so obviously have all those secret schemes and love to act self-important, like a power couple of one of the movies they love so much. They think they’re supercool, and sometimes they are, but often enough it’s just annoying.

28. Why do they get jealous?

Mello gets jealous because Matt doesn’t shut up about all the models, actors, and video game characters he finds hot. Even though Mello knows it doesn’t mean anything, it still annoys him a bit. Matt only feels a little jealous of Near sometimes, because he seems to be on Mello’s mind so often.

29. Why do they fall a little bit more in love?

After many years, Mello realises that Matt indeed always has his back. He can trust him to bail him out of everything, he’s incredibly crafty, and, that’s something Mello almost doesn’t want to admit, Matt puts up with a lot of bullshit because of him.

Matt mainly falls more in love with Mello because of his incredible fighting spirit, creativity and ambition. He can’t relate to how hard Mello tries but he still finds it inspiring and admirable.

30. Why does it work (or not work) between them?

It works because of how long they’ve known each other; they’re a well practised team and they compliment each other well, all while being mostly chill and honest with each other

Time For My Death Sentence

I always wanted to share my thoughts on old shit. And since severals years have passed, I'm sure I (a ghost) can freely give unpopular opinions on things without getting noticed (I know I'm pressing my luck). Maybe not a minority reception, but small nonetheless. Alright, here goes the list:

1. I hate pineapple pizza. (Easy enough)

2. I can't stand SJWs. They make me think liberals are plain stupid and delusional (and I lean a bit more to the left). I can go on a long rant about them but I won't do it here. And plenty have already beaten me to it.

3. Fandoms are horrible (yeah yeah I know I shouldn't generalize but truly, the most vocal ones just ruin it for me)

4. Supernatural was good for the first 6 seasons. Afterwards it gotten repetitive, inconclusive, and irritating.

5. Big Bang Theory too, for 4 seasons. I hate when it turned into a Rom-Com like it's FRIENDS. I'm glad it's coming to an end (hopefully)

6. I love the high school musical trilogy, I don't care if it's corny or dumb.

7. Twilight doesn't deserve all the hate it got. It wasn't even that bad (except for Breaking Dawn, I can understand that)

8. I still very much enjoyed the second half of Death Note even after L's Death. I love Near and Mello (And Matt!).

9. Ah, My Goddess! is the best and only Rom Anime I ever enjoyed. Keichi and Belldandy are a wholesome couple.

10. I hate the Germany = HRE conspiracy in Hetalia. There, I said it! I always saw them as 2 different people. I'm also not a GerIta shipper. Oopsie.

11. Naruto Ending sucks ass, I'm sorry. It ended with shitty couples and cheap power-ups and Bigger Baddies (A Goddess WTF) and unresolved themes/problems and the LAST movie and emptiness and many more questions. All just for the spin-off Boruto.

12. Fire Emblem needs to get rid of avatars and waifus. It's getting ridiculous.

13. I like Young Justice (not a super fan), but I hate the time skips and overload of new characters. I love Wally(RIP?), but could care less about Spitfire, they're like my least favorite couple.

14. I hate the New 52 DCAU art style. Just, no.

15. With the exception of volumes 1-3, RWBY is utter trash.

16. Legend Of Korra was decent. Tho my only favs were Bolin, Varrick, and Tenzin.

17. I love Gotham, but I hated the mismatched rom drama and resurrecting dead people schtick.

18. I Despise Disney Remakes. They are all TERRIBLE.

19. Speaking of Disney, I MISS 2-d animation. Those were beautiful times.

20. Lyrical Rap Music with meaning is 10x better than that mumble shit.

21. I wasn't at all affected by Hughes' Death in FMA (I'm wading dangerous waters). I mean yeah, it was tragic, but I didn't cry or lost sleep over it.

22. I'm too late in the game to like or enjoy KPOP. BTS is alright tho.

23. Polar Express is the BEST Christmas film. I dgaf what anyone says.

24. I like Jason Todd's white tuff, regardless if it only lasted for about 2 issues. Keep doing your thing, Fanart.

25. If you look past the flaws, FF13 isn't that bad. I enjoyed it. Lightning was a good MC.

26. What's a girl gotta do to get some manly ukes/bottoms around here?! It's all just submissive, girly pretty boy content! (Sorry, inner Yaoi Gal talking)

27. Feminism is stupid. Just wanna put that out there.

28. Y'all need to stop making Bruce the bad guy/father in Batfam Fanfics.

29. Alice & Zouroku, After The Rain, Gakuen Babysitters, and Monster are such underrated animes. Different genres, but all so AMAZING.

30. Amber is my least favorite character from Darker Than Black. Change my mind!

31. Jason Griffith was the ideal voice of Sonic The Hedgehog for me. Nothing can prove me otherwise.

32. Katniss didn't deserve Peeta. He's too much of a sweetheart to have kids with that Skank.

33. Percy Jackson needs a TV series. The movies didn't do my treasure justice!

34. Since we're on Percy Jackson, wasn't much of a fan of Percebeth. I love them as separate characters. Together? Meh.

35. I prefer the original, female, flat-chested, in-depth, badass, beautiful Saber in the Fate Series. The other versions can't even compare.

36. Alice from Detroit: Become Human should've been a human girl instead of an android. The weight and beauty of Kara's story is lost, and via replays Alice just becomes a nuisance.

37. Rise Of The Guardians NEED a sequel.

38. Marvel is good at movies. DC is good at animation. That's my gospel truth and I'm sticking with it. Ultimate Spiderman and the Dark Knight Trilogy are the exceptions.

39. I never seen Steven Universe or BHA. Too overrated.

40. Pokemon: I Choose You was the worst Pokemon Movie I've seen. From the lack of Brock & Misty (And Team Rocket. Honestly, where did the original backstory went?) to Pikachu fuckin speaking for the first time.

41. Just because America is indeed not the best country in the world, doesn't mean all other countries are automatically better.

...I know there's more, but this is what I got from the top of my head. Respond however you like. I litted the fire, after all. Heh, it's probably a good conversation starter.

Unpopular opinions about Death Note

1. If Rem really cared about Misa’s happiness, she shouldn’t have taken Jelas’ Death Note to the human world and given it to her in the first place. She knew whoever uses Death Note will not go neither to heaven nor to hell but she gave the notebook to Misa anyway.

2. Naomi Misora died in the most stupid way possible. She deserved way better.

3. Some people don’t like Near because he was the only Wammy boy that survived.

4. If Light didn’t kill Lind L. Tailor and Raye Penber, it would be way harder for L to find who Kira was.

5. Death Note should have ended after 25th episode.

6. If L didn’t die, he was going to use Death Note which means he would have served for his biggest enemy’s ideology and that would be very ironic.

7. What makes me distant from Misa is her obsession with Light, not her stupidity. (In fact I don’t think she’s as stupid as people say.) She constantly following a teenager and insisting him on dating was annoying and definitely unacceptable.

8. If L focused more on how Kira killed his victims instead of wasting so much time on trying to prove Light was Kira, he could have survived.

9. The most relatable character on Death Note was the college girl who kept saying L was hot.

10. Mello and Matt deserved to be seen more in the anime.

11. Task Force should have believed L instead of being against his thoughts almost all the time.

12. Matsuda is underrated.

13. If L saw Ryuk instead of Rem, he would have survived.

14. Light got bored after L died.

15. Light shouldn’t have played Misa and Takada’s feelings.

16. If L had time to pick who was going to be his successor, he would both choose Mello and Near. Because they can reach L’s level only when they work together.

17. I am glad that Soichiro died without knowing his son was the world’s greatest serial killer. He didn’t deserve to suffer that pain.

[eyecicles]

haha, guess I'm the other possible Mello anon. can I have the rest of the headcanons please :P

(Haha, nice, I could never tell if there was more than one “Mello anon”)

1. Holiday headcanon

Goes to church on his birthday and not on Christmas Eve, preferably when no one else is around. He’s not overly enthusiastic about Christmas, but the general spirit of it makes him more solemn and taking a short break to pray helps him focus. Definitely mostly does it to regain energy, not for real spiritual reasons. 

3. Sleeping headcanon

At Wammy’s, he once dreamed that Near locked him out, stole his chocolate, and then made a very fancy tower out of it while he was forced to watch at the window.

5. Bathing/showering headcanon

He loves bathing. There’s nothing better than scheming while taking a hot bath and drinking some vodka.

6. Hugging headcanon

Mello doesn’t really know how to hug. He will either freeze on the spot or awkwardly pat your arm… if he doesn’t dislike you. Is not afraid to kick someone on the shin if they’re being annoying.

7. Kissing headcanon

Thinks kissing without biting is boring

8. Sex headcanon

He actually likes condoms and the way they feel, lol

9. General physical contact headcanon 

Will twitch if someone accidentally touches him. And if he doesn’t like you, he will give the place you touched him a wipe… in a very dramatic way.

13. Nickname headcanon

Matt called him “Milka” sometimes

14. Dancing headcanon

Accidentally dances like a stripper whenevr he really gets into it. He just can’t help it.

15. Singing headcanon

His singing voice is surprisingly monotone, but still interesting sounding. A bit like Matt Berninger, just not as deep.

16. Anger headcanon

He’s either totally above things and handles provocations like a pro, or he explodes. There’s no in-between.

18. Favorite possession headcanon

Has a notebook full of details about the LABB case, an interview with B and other stuff relating to it - and it makes him pretty proud, somehow even more so than the actual book he wrote.

19. Favorite photograph headcanon

It’s a photo of B he took. In it, B issitting in his cell, with his feet on the table, looking outside. You can see his scares very clearly and it’s totally horrifying, but that’s one of the reasons Mello likes it so much.

Celebrating Friends and Family over the Past Year (2017)

It’s been a crazy year. In fact, if it hadn’t been for getting to spend time visiting family and friends and making new friends, especially during my 39-day cross-country road trip, I don’t know how I would have dealt with the rest of the BS in this post-Truth reality-TV existence. Thank you, thank you, thank you and may we all find peace, fulfillment and meaning in the coming year. Images used in video in gallery below credits. Enjoy.
