Beware, this contains yaoi, which is boyxboy. Don't like, don't read.

Quick note, when I say football I mean American Football.

Also, I found a prompt that inspired this story. The prompt is:

A high school AU where Near is L and Light's son, and he eventually begins dating Mello. Once L and Light find out, they immediately become overprotective and demand they invite Mello to dinner so they can actually meet him, but it turns into a full interrogation session. Bonus points if Mello makes an awful first impression by showing up dressed all in black leather and by motorcycle.

So, yeah. This will also contain some L X Light.

The bell rings, signalling that school is over for the day. Near walks to his locker and collects his things, placing them neatly into his backpack

"Hey, Near." His boyfriend's voice rings out

"Hi, Mello." He picks up his bag, throws it over his shoulders, and locks his locker. He then turns to look at Mello. As usual, he's dressed in all leather, his backpack slung over one shoulder, holding a chocolate bar in one hand

"You're coming to my football game tonight, aren't you?" Mello asks, snapping a piece of the chocolate bar off with his teeth and beginning to chew it. Near smiles slightly

"I wouldn't miss it." Mello smiles as well. Mello takes Near's hand in his, causing a light blush to heat the albino's cheeks.

They walk out to the football field hand in hand. Mello's best friend, Matt, runs over to them

"C'mon, Mells, we've gotta get ready." Matt says

"Alright, tell the coach I'll be there in a second." Matt nods and runs off. Mello hooks his fingers in the belt loops of Near's white jeans, bringing their bodies close together

"I want to see you cheering louder than anyone else." Mello says, looking sharply into Near's eyes. Near nods, causing Mello to smirk and push his lips to Near's.

"Mello!" Matt yells. Mello pulls away and turns to look at him. Matt waves his hand, telling Mello to hurry up

"I'll see you after the game." Mello says, turning and beginning to run to Matt

"Go get 'em!" Near calls, smiling happily. Mello turns his head slightly to smile at Near.

Near found a seat at the front of the bleachers, and cheered louder than anyone else, just like Mello had told him to.

After the game, Near waits for Mello on the bleachers. He knew that he might take a while, seeing as the team would be celebrating their win.

Near steps off of the bleachers when he finally sees Mello.

"Congratulations, Mello." Near wraps his arms around Mello, hugging him tightly

"I think I deserve more than that, don't you think?" Near knew that Mello was smirking, even without seeing his face. Mello pulls Near over to the bleachers and ducks under them, pushing him against the back wall of the tallest seat.

Mello pushes Near's backpack from his shoulders, causing it to fall heavily to the ground. Mello undoes the top few buttons of Near's white button-up shirt, and begins to lick and kiss his neck.

Near tangles his hands in Mello's hair, lightly twirling it between his pointer finger and thumb while Mello proceedes to make a hickey on Near's sweet spot.

"Mello... I've got to go soon. My parents will get suspicious if I'm out too late..." Near whispers

"I'm not letting you go yet. I'm not finished with you." Mello bites down lightly on Near's neck. The albino bites his lip, desperately trying to keep quiet

"When are you going to tell them we're dating, anyway?" Mello asks, mouth still against Near's neck

"I don't know... My parents can be a little overprotective, Mello." And, of course, by 'a little' he meant 'a lot'

"I don't want them to scare you off-!" Near is caught off guard when Mello bites down on the dark, bruising mark that he'd made on Near's neck

Mello pulls his mouth away from Near's neck, and looks him in the eyes with a smirk on his face

"Well, luckily for you, I don't scare easy." Near smiles slightly. He wraps his arms around Mello's neck, and the two's lips meet once again.

~~~

"I'm home!" Near calls, entering his house

"We're in the living room!" His adoptive father, Light, calles

Near walks into the open-concept kitchen and living room. He sets his his backpack on the kitchen counter and begins to unpack it

"How was the game?" His other adoptive father, L, asks

"Good, our team won." Neither L or Light had turned their attention from the television yet. They're watching the news; something about a murder case was being shown

"That's good. Do you have much homework tonight?" L asks, moving to turn around so he can see Near. Light does the same

"What on earth is on your neck?!" Light jumps off of the couch and marches over to Near

Near's eyes go wide; he forgot to do up the buttons that Mello had undone, leaving the hickey on his neck completely visible

"It appears to be a hickey." L states, walking over as well, and sticking the lollipop that he was holding back into his mouth

"Who gave it to you?!" Light asks, a stern look on his face

"My boyfriend, Mello." Near says simply, as there's no point in lying to them

"Why didn't you tell us you had a boyfriend?" L asks, cocking his head to the side

"I didn't know how you guys would react." Near looks at his fathers, who look at each other before looking back at Near

"We're happy for you, Near. We should have him over for dinner." Light smiles

"Why?" Near asks

"So that we can get to know him." L answers

"Okay." Near says hesitantly

"Great, now go and do your homework." Light says. Near nods and grabs his backpack from the counter

Once Near has disappeared up the stairs, Light turns to L

"What are we going to do, L?! Why didn't Near tell us he had a boyfriend?!" Light panics

"Probably because he was worried you would react like this." L answers, twirling the lollipop around in his mouth. Light gives L a dirty look, which L seems quite satisfied with

"So, what kind of guy do you think he is?" Light asks, crossing his arms

"Hopefully, a respectable, intelligent young man. I believe that our son has good taste in men." Light smirks

"Hmm, is that what you like, L?" Light asks

"Well, I'm with you, so it would seem so." L gives Light one of his oh-so-rare smiles.

Their lips meet, causing the lollipop L was eating to fall to the floor. They make their way blindly to their bedroom, closing and locking the door behind them.

Near sits on the floor in one of the many isles of books in the library during break the next day at school.

"I thought I'd find you here. What're you doing?" Mello drops to a sitting position in front of him

"Studying. I have a Science test next period." Near answers, setting his textbook down on the floor. He sighs heavily, dreading having to invite Mello over for dinner. He knew his father's wouldn't approve of Mello...

"What's wrong?" Mello asks

"My parents want to have you over for dinner." Near meets Mello's eyes

"You finally told them?" Mello seems surprised

"Well, not exactly." Near motions to his neck

"You forgot to do up your collar, didn't you?" Near nods and Mello howls with laughter

"Quiet in the library!" The librarian shouts

"We should talk about this somewhere else." Mello leads Near to the bleachers and once again, the two duck under them

"So they want to have me over for dinner?" Mello asks, Near nods

"Yeah, they said that they want to meet you. When I talked to them this morning, they said that we should have it tomorrow night." Mello nods

"I'll be there." Near hugs Mello, burying his face in the taller boy's chest

"I really hope they like you." Near whispers.

~~~

L, Light and Near stand on the font step of their house. Near had told Mello that dinner would be at 5:00, and it was now 4:58. Near knew that the evening would start badly if Mello was late.

A motorcycle turns onto their street, slowing down the closer it got to Near's house

"That's not him, is it?" Light asks as the motorcycle gets closer to the driveway. Near had decided that the only way to show his fathers that he was serious about being with Mello, was to be confident

"Yes it is." Near states proudly. L and Light seem startled at the answer.

Mello pulls into the driveway and parks his motorcycle. He's wearing the black leather jacket and pants that he always wears when he rides his motorcycle. He hops off of the bike and pulls his helmet off.

Mello walks up to the front steps. L and Light still seem slightly shaken about the motorcycle and leather situation

"Hello, it's great to finally meet you two." He sticks his hand out for L to shake. L takes Mello's hand and shakes it

"It's nice to meet you too, Mello." L says, letting go of Mello's hand

"We're glad that you could come for dinner." Light says, shaking Mello's hand as well

Near leads Mello into the house

"You can leave your jacket and things in here." Near opens the closet that holds all of the coats and shoes

"Thanks." Mello places his helmet on the ground, then proceeds to unlace and take off his boots, and his jacket, and places them in the closet.

During dinner, L and Light throw a million and one questions at Mello, trying to intimidate him. But Mello answered them all politely and truthfully.

Mello knew that Near's parents would try to intimidate him, but he wasn't scared.

"It was very nice having you for dinner, Mello." Light says as Mello pulls on his boots and jacket

"Thanks for having me, the food was great." Mello smiles. Near walks Mello to his bike. His parents had closed the front door, but Near was almost certain that they were watching through the curtains

"Well, how do you think I did?" Mello asks

"You did amazingly." Near presses his lips to Mello's

"We should wait until later for this, I'm pretty sure your parents are watching us through the curtains." Near laughs slightly and takes a step back

"I'll see you at school tomorrow." Mello says as he puts his helmet on and starts his motorcycle. Near waves as Mello leaves.

Near turns back to the house, nervous to face his fathers. Mello is a great guy, at least Near thought so. But Near knew that if they didn't like Mello they wouldn't allow him to see him.

Near sucks in a deep breath as he walks into his house. He goes to the living room, where he knew his fathers would be waiting.

"Near, we would like you to know that we don't think Mello is the best you can do, but he isn't the worst either, and if he makes you happy, that's all that matters." L states

"Really?" L and Light nod. "Thank you." Near hugs his fathers

"The motorcycle and leather was a bit of a bad start, but Mello doesn't seem like a bad guy." Light says

"That's because he isn't a bad guy." Near states

~~~

"Mello! Mello, guess what!" Near says, running outside of the school, where he'd seen Mello go. The boy was quite obviously excited

"Wow, you're oddly happy today." Mello says in a questioning tone. He stops so that Near can catch up to him

"That's because my parents liked you!" Near stands on his tippy toes so that he can press his lips to Mello's. He pulls away, but Mello wraps his arms around Near's slim waist, keeping him from going far

"I'm glad that they didn't hate me." Mello laughs slightly

"Me too." Near wraps his arms around Mello's neck

"I love you, Mello."

"I love you too, Near."
