AUTHOR'S NOTE: Kyaa!! -gets punched by random yaoi fan- I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's just so much has been going on lately.

I'll get on with the story now.

STORY START

L'S POV

Air had drifted off to sleep after downing some ramen. I just laid down beside her wondering how the hell this was going to work. With four years between us she would no doubt be disgusted with me for even thinking of her like this. I glanced at her sleeping face and smiled. She really was beautiful..

Then I heard something from right above me. Like something was bumping around in the air vents..

"Matt, can you be any louder?!" I heard someone whisper. That someone wasn't that hard to figure out. "Mello shut up! He'll hear us!"

WITH MATT AND MELLO

"Mello, get off! We have stuff to do," Matt whispered.

"You're the one who wanted to get in front of me," he hissed back as he tried to get himself unstuck. Matt's eyes went wide as Mello tried to wriggle free.

"Mello.. Please stop," Matt said closing his eyes. At this point Mello had no clue what he was doing to Matt. His knee was right between Matt's legs and the poor guy wouldn't be able to control himself much longer.

"Matt, if I don't move we going to have some problems," Mello said with a frown.

"We already have a problem," The redhead said flushing.

Mello quirked an eyebrow and looked down.

"Matt!!" the blonde muttered wide-eyed. Suddenly Mello was pulled down in a kiss. The blonde's eyes half closed and his last thought before kissing Matt back was, 'Screw the plan, Air can take care of herself.'

L'S POV

Were they.. Making out in the ventilation system?! I could Matt's blood red hair coming through the vent.

"You've got to be kidding me.." I muttered.

"About what?" Air said rubbing her eyes.

"You're awake, good, we need to get out of here," I mumbled looking away so she wouldn't see my blush.

While she was sleeping her shirt had gotten pulled down and quite a bit of her cleavage was showing. I felt part of the bed ease up and I turned back to her. She was now standing up and looking at the air vent where the 'odd' noises were coming from.

"Oh for God's sake.." She muttered and fixed her shirt, "We're getting out of here because of that right?"

I nodded and smirked.

I got up and we both walked out of the room together, but not before she shouted, "WHO'S SEME??"

AIR'S POV

I was probably going to pay for that one later but hey, what're friends for. L and I walked down the many flights of stairs at the Wammy House and stopped at my room.

"Are you feeling any better?" he asked me.

"Yes," I said nodding.

"Would.. You like me to take you out for your birthday?" He questioned turning away. I just looked up at him and smiled.

"That'd be great, if you'll hold on a sec I'll go get dressed," I flushed realizing how small my voice was.

Then there was that smile, that smile that I couldn't help but like.

"Sure, I'll be back in fifteen minutes," he said brushing his hand against mine and then left up and to his room. I flew through my own door and slammed it. I sucked in a deep breath as I slid down the door.

"Oh dear…" I squeaked as it finally hit me as to what I agreed to. I had a DATE with L.

I'd never dated before, this will be a disaster. That line kept running through my head as I rummaged through all of my stuff. I took off my black tank and pulled my new green dress-like shirt over my head. I bit my lip as I tried to find some decent bottoms. I smiled as I pulled out some patched up baggy jeans. Perfect. I looked over and found Salem eating out of her new cat bowl by my computer desk. I smiled at her and untied the green bow from her knowing I'd hate it if I had something around my own neck.

Something clattered to the floor when I did and I looked down. Two small bells were at my feet. I picked them up and tied them onto my pants with the green ribbon shrugging. I still had five minutes and started searching in one of the boxes from that shopping trip before I got here. I pulled out one of the gloves with the fingertips cut off and my bracelet. Finally I ran a brush through my hair and braided part of it. Just then L was knocking at the door.

"Hold on a sec," I called and put the last green hair-tie in my hair.

No make-up, I hated it too much. After tripping over many instruments I finally got to the door. I opened it and blushed.

"Did I dress okay?" he asked. I just nodded. Of course he did, I'd just never seen him in anything other than the white shirt and jeans. He still had on a pair of jeans but these weren't stained. And instead of the white long-sleeved t-shirt his was black and showing his pale arms. His eyes stood out more than usual with the black hair and pale skin contrasting. I gulped and smile at him. He put his hand in mine and we walked towards the exit of the Wammy house. Please, please let this go good.
