Death Gods Only Eat Apples

[nokotchi]

Sakura leaned it, gently placing her lips on L's.

"Matsuda. I bet he'll get drunk off one sip." Mello said with a light laugh.

 

[.chasm.]

L wrapped his hands around Sakura's waist, tilting his head to the side.

"Might make him actually want to have fun, though," Matt said, smirking. He walked over to the pair and held the shot out to Matsuda. "Drink. Now."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura snaked her arms around L's neck, deepening the kiss.

Mello handed Light the shot, beginning to down his own.

Matsuda flinched away. "W-what is it?... I don't drink"

Light took the shot, carefully beginning to sip at it.

 

[.chasm.]

L pulled Sakura closer, shuffling his feet so he didn't overbalance.

"Yes you do," Matt said, deciding to ignore the question. "Down it in one." He glanced at Light. "That goes for you, too."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura deepened the kiss further, smiling slightly in the kiss.

Mello let out a sigh of satisfaction when he finished his shot.

Matsuda shyly took the shot glass, not wanting Matt to get angry with him.

Light shot a glare at Matt before throwing his head back and downing his shot.

 

[.chasm.]

L pulled away from Sakura suddenly, dropping his hands. "We stil need to brief Near."

"Go on," Matt urged, taking a sip of his own drink. "It'll taste horrible if you don't drink it in one."

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura leaned back in her chair. "Yeah, where is he?"

Matsuda stared at it for a moment before gulping it down.

Mello snickered at Matt. "So, how's that coke of yours?"

 

[.chasm.]

L looked around quickly. "I don't know. I think we should find him quickly."

Matt glared at Mello. "It's going over your head if you don't keep your mouth shut." He glanced over at Matsuda. "See?"

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura nodded, standing up. "Let's go see where he ran off to,"

Mello grinned, playing around with his empty shot glass.

Matsuda looked over at Matt with a smile. "Hey, this isn't that bad."

 

[.chasm.]

L stood up, scooping some more icing off the cake with his finger before he walked away.

"I told you," Matt said smirking. "So, you have to find a girlfriend here. Go and talk to one of the girls over there." He nodded towards the corner.

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura walked down the corridors, looking them up and down. "Near?" she called out.

Matsuda looked over at the girls nervously. "B-but..."

 

[.chasm.]

L trailed after Sakura, dragging his feet across the floor. "Where would he usually go?" he asked, his voice muffled by his finger as he licked the icing off.

"But what?" Matt asked, frowning slightly. "Would you rather speak to other girls?"

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura shrugged. "I'm not sure, I don't really know much about Near."

"I don't want to talk to any girls..." Matsuda mumbled, shuffling nervously in his place.

 

[.chasm.]

"I know that he works things out by using toys," L said, still sucking on his finger. "He might have gone to unpack and play..."

"Oh, come on, Matsuda," Matt said, rolling his eyes. He held his drink out to Mello. "Hold that for me."

 

[nokotchi]

"Yeah," Sakura turned to look at L. "Where's his room?"

Matsuda just stood there silently.

Mello grabbed the drink and smirked

 

[.chasm.]

L pointed to a door not too far away. "That one." He pulled his hand away from his mouth and stared at Sakura.

Matt grabbed Matsuda and started to drag him towards the corner. "Choose quickly: those girls or others?"

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura nodded, walking down the corridor to Near's room.

Matsuda panicked and tried to pull himself away from Matt. "Others!!"

 

[.chasm.]

L followed Sakura again, the chained hand out in front of him.

"Okay," Matt said stopping and spinning Matsuda around. "Them?"

 

[nokotchi]

Sakura walked up to Near's door, giving it a gentle knock.

Matsuda saw them and shook his head frantically. "N-no,"

 

[.chasm.]

L stood close behind Sakura. "You still smell like strawberries," he muttered.

"Okay..." Mat paused, turning Matsuda to face him. "Which ones, then?"
