Taunt 005 - M - [Accidental Video] Cats In the Cradle...

Mello did indeed get a baby. A pudgy little pink thing that gurgled at him and got spit on his nice leather. And that is not okay. Mello didn't like kids when he WAS one ~~fuck you to any of you who say he still IS one~~ and he doesn't like them now. Useless little buggers taking up space and crying for attention when they could take that time they are wasting to LEARN how to just say what it is they want rather than being the bane of some poor soul's existence.

Yes. Mello doesn't like babies.

And so if he's going to have to deal with one, he's going to make the thing straighten up and fly right...or hit the road.

[And that is how this video has come to be a baby, probably about 3 yrs of age, perched precariously on a tree branch as Mello waits below for the thing to figure out how to get itself out of danger. Learn early, learn fast. And Mello has no qualms with this because clearly he has the baby's best interests in mind. And if the baby actually manages to pass this test, hell maybe it can be his successor.

Though, that hope disappears all too suddenly when the baby inadvertently FALLS. And tumbling through the sky, disappears midair.

And in turn, the blackberry suddenly falls to the ground where instead of the lean leather clad boy, there is now a bundle of black clothes and a tiny blonde-bobbed head sticking out of the pile. An unhappy looking infant now clad in only a black vest that goes down over his knees and is falling a bit off his tiny shoulders.

Yes. Mello has failed the parenting test]

[Mello makes a few little hiccuping noises as as he gingerly lifts himself off the ground, little fist rubbing at an eye as he starts to cry softly. And abruptly he slips under that arm and attaches himself to L's side, hiding his face.

He doesn't want other people to see him cry.]

[[L hates it when people cry. Not because of having much a sense of compassion in most cases, but simply because he's unsure what to do. Normally he'd consult Watari on the course of action best suited, but if he grabs from memory what was done for him in situations like this when he was crying and hurt.. Well, perhaps then it wouldn't be so bad. He's always liked Mello though, always, so seeing him cry is pulling at something.

He curls his arm around Mello, holding the little boy's form to his side and pets gently over the mini-bob of hair. He's obviously hiding and L sort of half hunches over to protect him all the more while he cries.]]

Here then.

[[The detective shifts his arm a bit, and the way he's kneeling and some how, by some divine power, manages to pick Mello up and hoist him to the other side of his neck while his impromptu daughter hides her teary face in the other side.]]

Hold on now, Mihael, I've got you.

[[He sighs, beginning to walk with his arms full of children. This is something he hadn't ever envisioned for himself.]]

[Mello lets L hoist him up, not fight at all. And as he is tucked in against the man he clings for dear life to the fabric of the shirt, still hiding his little face.

He doesn't know where he is. Who these people are. But to be honest it had been nice to be free of Wammy's for a little while. From the kids who were scared of him, or the teachers who scolded him. Out on his own instead...for a few minutes it had been exciting.

But now he's hurt and disoriented and scared. And quietly whispers between his sobs] P-please d-don't tell them I w-was crying.

[they'll laugh at me]

[[Strong as he is, L's using all he's got in order to hold the lot of human lives depending on him not to drop them. His slouch, for once, isn't absolutely natural. He just knows that, somewhere, Mello is totally getting snot on him. He feels it in the core of his soul and he's going to burn these clothes when he gets the chance.

He assumes he has to be absolutely parent'y to Mello too until he can confirm otherwise. It's not hard to be nice to his young successor though, he doesn't hate him or Near, not by a long shot. Just that he doesn't do well with children. He turns his head, letting Mello hide however he wants to and frowns at the pleading he gets.]]

Crying?
[[He asks this as though he doesn't know what's being said.]]

I don't know what you're talking about, I haven't seen you crying yet. I saw that you had something in your eyes which caused a reaction in your tear-ducts, but otherwise, I don't see any tears.

[The boy's crying slows a bit, back down to hiccups as it takes him a while to catch on. He doesn't know L and isn't used to his round about ways of dealing with things, but eventually Mello does get somewhat of a gist of what the man is saying.

At least he gets the important part - that he's not going to tell]

O-okay.

[[L's giving it his all to continue to balance both children, the last thing he needs is to turn into one himself. This place is as dangerous as it is without Beyond and Light here, not only that but he still has to check on Near. It's not that he doesn't think his successors are capable-- he just doesn't think they're capable.]]

Good.
Reach out your hand, please, and pull the door open if you would?

[[He sort of lean's his body in for Mello to help him open the door to his room.]]

[Mello unlatches himself from L a little in order the reach out a little grubby hand. And small fingers tug on the doorknob with one dramatic tug]

T-there!

[[L leans him as close as he can and then Mello's gotten the door, thankfully. He bounces one side, then the other, easily hoisting both children that way and walks through the door.]]

Thank you, Mihael.

[[His foot comes up and he kicks the door closed in a great balancing act that only his martial art would have facilitated. From there it's over to the bed, laying the baby out on that in lieu of the crib that's ten steps further from there. After, he gently sets Mello to sit down on the edge of the bed and crouches down.]]

Let me have a better look at you.

[[He gently raises a hand to brush aside Mello's hair, looking at his forehead a little more in depth to make sure there isn't bruising, looking for evidence that there will be.]]

[Mello wiggles a little to get settled before letting L examine him But quickly he grows impatient with this 'sitting' business and starts swinging his little legs, only to hide a wince when his scraped knee rebels. ]

[[You can only hide so much from L before something catches his eye and he gently pulls up Mello's vest a slight bit and frowns at the knee, shaking his head.]]

It's not bleeding badly, but perhaps a cold compress?

[[He .....sighs why is he asking Mello.]]

Sit here and wait.

[[He stands up, moving over to that basin of water and brings it over setting it on the bed next to Mello with a little "hmm" noise. He takes the cloth out of the water and wrings it out, leaning back down to begin cleaning up Mello's poor little leg in that vesty dress of his.]]

[Mello does his best to hold his leg still, even if this is worse than when Mr. Roger had to tug out the splinter from his hand with the tweezers. Still he keeps his stiff upper lip.]

Mr umm..... Mr. Sir?

[[L looks up at the boy after he's re-dipped the cloth, holding off on the second round of cleaning which would be those hands.]]

Yes, Mihael? You may call me Ryuzaki.

...Is Mr. Roger coming to pick me up soon?

[[L pauses for a moment. If only Roger and Quillish really were here...]]
He'll call when he's here, Mihael, you know this. We'll wait for his call.

Oh.... [Mello's tone drops off for a moment.] He must be busy.

[He then slips back into his broad smile] He's off having adventures with L!

[[L watches, impartial to the drop in tone. He misses them too, but he wont go on about it. This isn't the time and there's no reason since nothing can be done.

He tilts his head back, staring up at Mello. He doesn't recognize him then, this is a rare opportunity.]]

L? Who do you mean, Mihael?

[Little Mello stops dead and looks horrified]

YOU DON'T KNOW WHO L IS????

[[He puts his finger to his lip, pretending to be thinking.]]
He's a detective of some sort, isn't he? Do you know him?

[[L finishes his cleaning, then takes the basin and cloth to the side of the basin on another place.]]

[Horrified is now an understatement.]

not SOME SORT. He is THE detective. DUHHHH.

And I don't know him, but i will one day. [He nods very seriously]

[[L plays the part well, letting Mello think he's told him something new. So even at this age Mello had this sort of thought about him. He sighs and turns around to Mello, shoving his hands in his pockets and sits down next to him.]]

Is that so?
And how will you meet him if he's 'the' detective and you don't know him?

[Mello hesitates there, clearly giving away the fact that deep down he's not actually sure if he'll ever get to. But then that little brow furrows and his mouth sets in determination]

cuz i just will!

[He then pouts and jumps off the bed]

[[L watches as Mello tells him his reasons for it, his eyes watching the child rather than following him.]]

You really admire this man? Or is it his job you admire?

I am gunna be a detective one day [Mello explains] but...I wanna be just like L.

[[L nods his head, alright, it's the legacy rather than the person. But then again, this is a child too.]]

I think, Mihael, if you keep your mind on it, you can be even better than him. You just have to work hard hm?

NO! [Mello stomps his foot] To be like L you have to be brave. And smart. And wanna save people. And AWESOME. He's the best. At everything.
