L sat slowly onto Light lap and leaned his head on his chest. He took a deep breath and shut his eyes. Light started rubbing his arms to comfort him and causing the older man to fall asleep. He lifted L up and brought him up to their room and laid him on the bed. "Good night my love." He kissed his head and walked out of the room.
"Daddy Mello hit me." Near cried as he ran up to Light. Light picked him and brought him to Mello and Matt's room. He opened the door and saw feet under the bed.
"Well I wonder where they are, do you know where they are Near?" Light turned to their youngest son.
There were giggles coming from under the bed as they thought they wouldn't be found. "Silly Daddy, Papa would be able to find them they're under the bed." Near said wiggling out of Light's grip and to the floor.
"I see Matt, Mello come out from under the bed." Light said sternly and the two pairs of feet came out from under the bed.
"Thanks a lot Near you little tattler I'm never sharing anything with you again." Mello said sticking his tongue out at the smaller boy. Matt was just standing there looking innocent.
"Fine I don't like you things anyway prosecute them Daddy." Near pointed to the two older boys causing Light to laugh at how smart their kids were.
"Mello did you hit Near?" Light asked sternly narrowing his eyes at the young blond.
"No." Mello took his ground and Light knew he was not going to get anything out of him anytime soon. So he turned to the red head.
"Matt did Mello hit Near?" He gave Matt the eyes and he knew Matt couldn't take the eyes for long.
"Um…" He turned to his brother and back to Light he kept looking back and forth between the two. "Um…Papa!" He screamed too much pressure. L walked into the room with his normal tired eyes and stood besides Light.
"Sorry if we woke you but Matt is trying to tell me something about Mello and he had too much placed on his shoulders." Light apologized kissing L lightly.
"It's alright." L then turned to Matt who ran up to him and started hugging his legs. L bent down and picked him up then brought him out of the room. Once they were out L asked. "Okay now what were you going to tell Daddy?"
"Mello hit Near." Matt said throwing his arms around L's neck. L hugged him and brought him back into his room.
"Mello follow us you two stay in your rooms." L opened the door and Mello hung his head in shame with Light following. Once they were in the living room L looked at Mello with anger in his eyes. "Now Mello why did you hit Near?"
"Well… because… he's…" Mello racked his brain for an answer so he could cover up the truth. "He was in my way." Mello lied.
"Mello tell the truth or no chocolate for a week." Light said folding his arms over his chest. Mello looked to the floor and kicked the air.
"Because he's smarter than me it's not fair he's five I'm six I'm older I should be smarter." Mello blurted out and turned around and started crying. Light sighed and grabbed the small boy.
"It's alright Mello. Near may be a little smarter than you but you work just as hard so that means you are as strong as him." Mello sniffed into Lights shirt and said something muffled. "What did you say?" Light asked lifting up his head.
"Thank you Daddy I love you." Mello gave him a kiss and wiggled out of his grip and ran to his room. Light turned to L and sighed again.
"They always do that to me why?" Light said referring to how the kids wiggle out of his arms every time.
"Oh does someone need some love?" L wrapped his arms around Lights neck and gave him a kiss. L started nibbling at his bottom lip and Light opened his mouth to allow him in. L started exploring the already well known mouth. They backed up to the couch and laid down without breaking the kiss.
"You two there are children in the house you do that in your room." Watari said walking into the house. L bounced up and gave the older man a hug.
"Hello Watari." Light laughed at how childish L could be at times. "Kids if you want to see Grandpa you better hurry up." He yelled to the three kids. Seconds later they ran out screaming in excitement.
