My first family fic~ I've been meaning to write this for a while now, but I was too lazy to do it. L, Light, Matt, Mello and Near are just so much fun to write about. :D Especially when Mello, Matt, and Near are small children~

So yeah. This is what I've been up to the past two days. I basically wrote whatever came to mind, so I might have to a do a lot of editing later. Oh well, I just wanted to get it done.

Well, enjoy~

"I would have never thought that you two of all people…"

Soichiro stood in front of the engaged couple, shaking his head. He had been preparing for this for months, but even though today was the big day, he still couldn't accept it.

A young man with a tan complexion laughed, his chestnut hair bouncing as his body shook lightly. "Come on, Dad. It's not that hard to believe after all this time, is it?"

He reached down and grabbed the pale hand of his fiancé, who turned and looked warmly at him through raven locks, smiling a small smile.

"I suppose not, Light." his father sighed. "You and L are certain you're making the right decision, right?"

"Mr. Yagami, this question has become quite redundant. I was certain I wanted to marry Light the moment I proposed to him, and I assume he was the same considering he accepted."

Light nodded and squeezed L's spidery hand tightly, their engagement rings glinting in the sunlight. They were each dressed in neatly pressed black tuxedos as they stood in front of the church, awaiting the arrival of the rest of Light's family. (Since L's only family was Watari)

Everyone was celebrating their wedding, to Light's relief. The only one who still seemed slightly disturbed about his homosexuality was his father who constantly questioned his relationship.

His mother accepted it, but didn't seem that pleased. She probably expected her "perfect son" to choose a more sophisticated partner, but L could be nice-looking when he was forced to. In fact, Light had spent a whole hour fixing L's hair, which was neatly brushed out and straightened, looking almost silky. Light marveled the work he did on L, smirking inwardly as he remembered the fight he had to go through to get L to agree.

Light looked just as good as L, of course. He had spent even longer on his hair than usual, making sure he looked perfect for their big day. Since Light was naturally attractive, it wasn't that hard to do. Not that L wasn't either.

Light had worried how his little sister would handle her older brother being a homosexual and worried that she wouldn't know how to take it. Sayu was quite accepting, however. In fact, she liked L a lot and always tried to start conversations with him. Unfortunately, L being as socially awkward as he was, wasn't really big on conversations and normally ruined the topic by saying some genius remark and ultimately confusing the not-so-bright Sayu.

Watari had seemed wary, but didn't really have much of a choice considering how stubborn L was. He had put up with a lot of his adopted son's quirks, so him marrying Light wasn't anything he was shocked about.

To name all of the family member's opinions would take a while, so we'll just skip over that. However, Misa's opinion of the whole thing shocked even Light. Sure, the model was very disappointed at first and was in strict denial. But Misa was quite the romantist and couldn't hate L and Light's relationship for too long. She had even helped plan the wedding. Speaking of Misa…

"L-kun! Light-kun!" The duo turned their heads towards young blonde woman who was running towards them. She was wearing a strapless black dress that had the Gothic loita-look to it, and she was wearing her hair down instead of in the pigtails. Around her neck she wore a small black cross choker. A very simple look considering what she usually wore.

"Yes, Misa?" Light replied, flashing a smile. Even Misa's annoying peppiness couldn't dull his mood today.

Misa bounced a little. "The entire wedding party has arrived, come in so we can start~"

"Did you hear that, L?" Light asked eagerly, smiling as he gave his soon-to-be husband a sideways glance.

L nodded, his black orbs that were normally dull swirling in excitement. "Yes indeed, Light. Shall we go?"

Light leaned in to his fiancé and kissed him softly. "Ready when you are."

L and Light joined the rest of the wedding inside. Neither of them were Christian, but they were pressed by Light's religious parents who wanted them to have their wedding in a church. Light decided it didn't really matter, however. They could get married in the middle of the street for all he cared, as long as he married L.

Cheers rang out as they entered the auditorium as people stood up and clapped. Light blushed while L just raked his gaze over them blankly, his mouth being tugged into a small smile. L turned Light towards him and gave him a soft kiss on the lips.

"Next time we do that, we will be married." L said, his face serious. "Are you still sure you are ready to make this commitment?"

Light rolled his eyes. "Of course, L. I would've declined your proposal if I thought otherwise. Is it really that hard to believe that I love you?"

L scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "I guess I never thought I would ever have a chance like this, considering what my occupation is…"

"Please, you're amazing. Anyone would be lucky to have you." Light reassured cheesily, which caused L's pale face to turn a light pink. Light was the only one who could make him show emotions so effortlessly.

"Light, I have to walk you down the aisle…" his father stated grumpily behind him.

Light turned to his unenthusiastic father and grinned. "Okay."

Light brushed his hand across L's as he walked towards the end of the church, murmuring, "See you soon." to the other as he walked passed.

L gave Light a small nod before taking his place beneath the alter, hunched over and hands shoved in his dress pant's pockets.

Light followed his father out of the auditorium, hardly able to contain his excitement. His father seemed quite the opposite as he massaged his temple, his brow furrowed.

He frowned. "Dad, can't you at least try to be happy? This is a very important day for me."

"…I just thought you would turn out differently, son." he muttered. "Misa was such a nice girl. What went wrong?"

"Misa and I aren't compatible for each other. She's a great friend, but nothing more."

"But L of all people-"

Light gave his father a glare. "Dad. Don't talk bad about L in front of me." After they both stared intensely into each other's eyes for a few moments, Light sighed. "I just hope one day you'll be able to accept us."

Soichiro let out a sigh as well. "Light, if I didn't accept you and L, do you really think I would let you two get married? I know how close you two are, I just still can't believe it."

Light smiled. To him, that was acceptance. "Thanks, Dad."

A quiet hush fell on the church's auditorium as the orchestra began to play the wedding theme. L and Light didn't have any groomsmen, considering they both didn't have very close friends, so they skipped straight to the wedding.

A girl from Whammy's House had been brought to play the role of flower girl since neither man had any young children in their family. Light observed her curiously, eyeing her blonde curls and light pink dress. She was cute, Light decided. Certainly fit to play such a role. The young girl entered the auditorium on cue confidently, tossing out a handful of pink petals as she entered.

After a few minutes, the girl made it to the end, L giving her a small pat on the head as she smiled up at him. Now it was the brunette's turn to enter. Light hooked arms with his hesitant father and pushed through the auditorium doors.

Light beamed at L, who stood hunched over, a bored look on his face. His face lit up as he saw Light enter, however, and quickly made an attempt to straighten his posture, which failed. Light chuckled lightly as he was led down the aisle.

Finally after what seemed like ages, he was reunited with his lover, who gave him a small smile as he took his hand. They turned towards the preacher who looked down at them with a curious look before reading the vows.

After about a minute of the preacher talking, L brought up his index finger to nibble at the nail uninterestedly. Light gave him a tight squeeze of his hand and soft glare when the raven gave him a questioning look. The insomniac rolled his eyes before withdrawing his finger and bringing his bored stare back to the preacher.

Light zoned off a bit himself, and almost jumped as he heard a small boy walk up behind him. L and Light turned around at the same time, facing a small boy from Whammy's house. He was wearing a nice, black suit and had a full head of brown hair. His eyes were warm as he looked up at the soon-to-be couple, holding a pillow out with his pale hands. Two rings laid on top. Their weddings rings.

Light shook his head slightly as he recalled the preacher's words and picked up L's wedding ring. L did the same with Light's, his dark orbs sparking with excitement as they made eye contact. The preacher cleared his throat.

"Okay, Light. Repeat after me. I, Light Yagami, take you, L Lawliet, to be my partner…"

Light repeated those words in as he stared into L's dark eyes.

"Loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not know yet…"

Light echoed the sentence, noting the pink tint of embarrassment that was starting to become apparent on L's cheeks.

"I eagerly anticipate the chance to grow together, getting to know the man you will become, and falling in love a little more every day."

L's blush deepened as Light repeated the vows to him.

"I promise to love and cherish you through whatever life may bring us."

Light finished the vows with a small smile and a light blush on his cheeks. They didn't compliment each other like that often, so it was sort of embarrassing for both of them.

The brunette then took L's pale hand, which was frozen in midair, and slid the wedding ring on his ring finger. Light smiled warmly before L had to say his vows.

L didn't like speaking in public, and today wasn't any different. L's voice was a low mumble that shook slightly as he repeated the vows, but to him it didn't really matter if the rest of the wedding party didn't hear. Light heard and that's all that mattered. The raven slid the ring on Light's finger in that awkward way he does things, his hand resting on Light's slightly before he pulled away.

The preacher proceeded to say something else, but Light didn't catch any of his words. The only words that stood out was, "You may now kiss the groom."

L reached out and grabbed Light's chin and pulled it towards him as he crushed his lips into the brunette's. Cheers echoed throughout the room, but no cheer could be louder than the loud squeal of approval Misa gave out. They pulled away a few moments later, remembering they were supposed to save anything intimate for later.

As they turned, they were greeted by Misa. "So, you two are married now. What should I call you guys? L Yagami, or Light Lawliet?" she giggled.

"Light and L Lawliet. I am the husband in this relationship." L stated proudly.

Light gave him a glare. "I am not your bride."

"Tonight you will be." L said playfully in that monotone of his before wrapping his arms around Light's waist and resting his head on his shoulder.

Light blushed and quickly looked around for his family which caused Misa to laugh. "Please, Light-kun~ Every adult knows what newlyweds do on their honeymoon."

"But it embarrasses me," Light protested. "I don't want my entire family to know L and I have… sexual relations."

"There's no need to be shy, Light." L said before planting a soft kiss on his neck.

Light drew in a sharp intake of breath. "L, not here." he scolded and pushed L off his back.

L smirked, pulling away. "As you wish, Mrs. Lawliet."

Light gave him another glare before Misa clapped her hands together loudly. "No arguing on our wedding day, I won't let it happen! Now, let's go cut the wedding cake~"

L's eyes lit up at this idea before flashing mischievously. "Yes, Light. Remember, we have to feed the cake to each other like other couples do."

The brunette flinched, not liking the idea of getting crumbs and icing all over his hands. But it was his wedding day, and he couldn't say that shoving a piece of cake in L's face didn't sound fun.

The cake was half strawberry and half vanilla respectively, a figure of L standing on top of the strawberry side and a figure of Light standing on the vanilla side. Light cut a slice out of the strawberry side while L cut a vanilla piece. They turned towards each other, cake in their grasps.

"Ready, Lii-mmph-" Light shoved the cake in L's open mouth, smearing the white icing on his porcelain skin and causing Light to laugh.

L smirked as he chewed. "Very mature, Light." he mumbled through the cake before shoving his own slice in the brunette's mouth, which was open as he laughed at L.

Light's eyes narrowed as he tried his best to ignore the smeared icing on his own face. "Touché."

Misa groaned quietly. "Look at you two, you have icing all over your faces."

L's tongue darted out to lick off the icing he could reach, giving the blonde a blank look. Misa said something about L using manners before walking off to find one of her friends she had brought with her.

Light shook his head at L and grabbed a nearby napkin and wiped the icing on his face off neatly. After the raven stopped trying to reach unreachable patches of icing with his tongue, Light passed him a napkin.

"Misa has a point, you know." Light pointed out as L wiped his face clean.

"Meaningless, Light. Misa can say whatever she likes, it will not change my actions."

"Would you change if I told you to?" Light asked, crossing his arms.

L smirked. "No need to be so cross over something foolish. Besides, you like it when I eat a little messily. You have told me before."

Light blushed and rubbed the back of his neck, looking down. "Not in public…"

"So, you guys finally tied the knot."

Light turned around, coming face-to-face with friend and ex-girlfriend Kiyomi Takada. He gaped, before closing his mouth. "Who invited you? Not to be rude or anything… But I don't remember sending you an invitation."

"Me!" A bubbly blonde jumped out behind the raven female, grinning. "I knew you guys were friends, so I didn't see an issue."

"Misa. You were supposed to okay every guest with L and I." Light groaned. "Not that Kiyomi being here is a problem, but…"

"Loosen up, Light. It's your wedding day!" Misa exclaimed, grabbing his arm and pulling on it. "C'mon, let's go have some fun! You too, L. You never seem to do anything exciting."

"Oh, I could argue that…" Light sang under his breath.

L gave Light a warning glance before looking at the blonde blankly. "It goes against my personality to do such things."

"Today's different. You just got married." Misa stated for the third time. She really is a romantist, isn't she? "And if Light doesn't make sure you have a good time, then me being one of your friends, I will."

L blinked. "If Light does not wish to, then I do not either."

"Yeah, Misa… Today's a great day, but L and I aren't the kind of people that party." Light agreed. "But if you want to, go ahead. We aren't standing in your way."

Misa crossed her arms and pouted, a strand of blonde hair falling in the middle her face. "You guys are no fun. What kind of couple doesn't party a little on their wedding day?"

L dug his finger into the wedding cake, scooping up the white icing. "We're saving the party for after." L replied as he licked the icing off.

"L. Not in public." Light warned again.

Misa giggled, holding a small hand in front of her red lips shyly. "Wow, L. I didn't know you could be so funny."

"It's rare that I let it slide, but I can have a dry sense of humor." L said, his face amusingly serious.

"And I'm well aware of it." Light sighed.

Kiyomi chuckled. "Well, you guys are an interesting couple. I hope you guys are happy together, Light can be a handful sometimes."

Misa giggled. "Got that right. He was always so stubborn when we dated. He never wanted to go out because of his studies."

Of course, that's not why Light didn't go out with her. He didn't go out with her because she was one of the most annoying creatures on the planet if you were with her for too long. But Light didn't want to cause any arguments on such a beautiful day, so he kept his mouth shut.

"But I am just as stubborn, if not more. I know how to handle him." L stated.

"Handle me?" Light repeated, raising an eyebrow. "Nobody 'handles me'."

"No need to tell lies, Light. I am one of the only people who knows how to deal with you, and you know it."

Light rolled his eyes. "Remind me again why I just married you?"

"No need to get hurtful." L pouted. He brought a finger up to his mouth thoughtfully. "You know, we've only gotten drunk together once…"

Light gave him a surprised glance. "Are you saying you want to party, L?"

"I suppose it would not hurt anything." L replied, shrugging.

Misa jumped a little. "That's the spirit!" she cheered. "Come on, Light. You wouldn't deny your husband anything, would you?"

"Oh, I sure as hell would." Light said and pinched the bridge of his nose. "But I suppose we can loosen up a bit. Just this once, considering the occasion."

Kiyomi chuckled, already starting up her camera. After college, the raven had become a skilled photographer. And Light didn't put it past her to take pictures for blackmail or teasing. "This could get interesting." she smiled evilly.

"No pictures involving nudity." Light warned the photographer, eyeing her digital camera.

Kiyomi smirked. "I'm not promising anything."

"If you do capture such photos, I would like a copy." L added in.

Of course. His pervert of a husband had to say something like that.

"L, don't encourage this."

"I do not see what the issue is. This is a just an innocent celebration." L brought his finger up to his lips as he looked at Light. "I am sure you have done worse in your teen years. Like that one party…"

"L." Light warned his husband for the third time. "Never again."

L smirked. "Funny, that was the party we met at…"

"Yeah. We hated each other at first." Light said, a nostalgic look reflecting in his eyes.

L nodded in agreement. "We had some interesting arguments."

Misa tapped her foot impatiently. "Talk about your past some other time! Let's go have fun!"

"Indeed. Let us go, Light." He smirked again, grabbing his husband's arm.

Light stumbled after L, Misa, and Kiyomi unenthusiastically as he was pulled. "Alright… But don't let me do anything too crazy. You know how I get when I'm drunk."

L looked back at Light over his shoulder innocently. "No promises."

"And look how great that went."

Light and L were sitting in their king-sized bed in their three story house, looking over wedding pictures. Light was curled up next to L, his head resting slightly on his shoulder as they looked through the photo album.

L blinked. "I do not see what you mean."

"We adopted children that night. Our first night being married." Light reminded him. "You can't forget about them, they practically run our lives."

"I have brought up the option to take them back multiple times." L replied, eyeing the picture at Whammy's House. Light had a bundle in his arms as he stood by L, as well as two tiny toddlers standing below him.

"Over my dead body." Light growled protectively, amusing L. When the brunette caught the raven smiling, he added in, "We've had them for five years now. You can't say you don't love them either."

"I suppose I would be lying if I said such a thing, despite all the trouble they have caused us in the past…" L brought his thumb to his lip as he flipped the page, eyeing a picture from their eldest's birthday party, Mello.

He was turning three in the photo, but even then he was a trouble maker and a genius. A toxic combination. The blonde had chocolate icing smeared all over his face as he grinned at the camera. Matt, the middle child, smiled sweetly as he held up a handful of chocolate cake. He too had chocolate icing smeared on his face, probably from a food fight he and Mello had. Their youngest and less troublesome of the three, Near, sat in his high-chair on the left side of Mello. He was one then, but he was quite small for his age. He smiled shyly at the camera, his pale face soiled with chocolate, showing that even he didn't get out of the occasion clean.

"…Our three little devils." L commented after observing the picture.

Light nodded grimly, following L's gaze. "They are quite troublesome. But they have made our lives interesting. Imagine what would have happened in my drunken state if I had adopted boring children."

"Yes. It is a miracle that I was sober enough to choose my successors to adopt." L nibbled his nail softly, examining a more recent picture.

"Keeping the title of L in the family." Light added in.

L nodded. "Yes, they will inherit my job when they are older. I wonder if they are smart enough…"

"L. We're raising three geniuses. Need I remind you how Mello conned that restaurant manager into a free chocolate cake, how Near set the world record for the largest card tower, and how Matt had people betting on him at a video game store?"

L seemed to consider this before saying, "You are right. I was wrong to underestimate them."

"Daaaaddy!"

Right on cue. Loud foot steps could be heard thundering down the hallway as well as the constant repeat of Light's name.

Light groaned, sitting up and glancing at their digital clock. 2:30 AM. Nothing good comes from the children awake at two in morning.

"Probably Mello and Matt." L commented, closing the photo album and shifting towards the door.

Light huffed. "Isn't it always?"

The brunette yanked the master bedroom door open, causing a blonde and a redhead to freeze in their tracks. He raised an eyebrow. "What's going on, you two should be in bed."

"Matt took my chocolate!" Mello blurted out, pointing angrily at the young gamer.

Matt scowled at Mello, looking up from his silver Gameboy. "After you took my PSP! I was only trying to bribe you to get it back."

"Mello, you aren't supposed to have chocolate in your bedroom anyway." Light pointed out. "And why did you take Matt's PSP?"

"He had the volume up way too loud! I'm in the room next to him and it sounds like he's right next to me!"

Light turned his gaze to the guilty-looking redhead. "Matt?"

"I was just testing out the new speakers I got the other day…" he confessed. "I didn't know they were that loud."

A small boy in white pajamas approached them from behind, a toy robot wrapped protectively over his chest. He was rubbing his eye sleepily with the other hand. "Daddy, they are being too loud. I am tired of their constant fighting at night." he mumbled, before adding, "We have school tomorrow."

"I know, Near." Light reached over the bickering duo to ruffle Near's messy white hair. "Try to go back to sleep, alright? I'm handling it."

Near smiled shyly. "Thanks, Daddy… Tell Dad I said goodnight."

"Of course."

The small boy began to make his way back to his room, his baggy pajama pants dragging on the ground.

Light frowned disapprovingly at his other two sons. "You woke up Near. How do you feel about that?"

"We didn't mean to-" Mello started.

"Not good enough." Light interrupted. "You will apologize to him in the morning. Matt, give Mello back his chocolate and bring me your new speakers."

Matt's mouth gaped. "But I bought those with my bet money!"

Light sighed. His bet money. It's great that Matt has a talent, but he doesn't need to get people betting on him. "You'll get them back in the morning. Bring them here so the rest of us can go to sleep."

"Fine…" Matt groaned, stalking off to retrieve his speakers.

Mello's face twisted into a grin. "Good job, Daddy!"

"You're not off the hook." Light said sternly, cause Mello's face to turn into a pout. "I want your chocolate bars, and you're giving Matt back his PSP."

"But Daddy! I won't make a mess, I swear!"

"You don't need to be eating chocolate at this time of night."

Mello peeked around Light. "But Dad's eating candy!"

Light's eyes narrowed. He's told L about eating candy in the bedroom. "Oh, is he?"

He turned around, facing the raven who had froze, a cherry lollipop stuck in his mouth.

"What have I told you about eating sweets in the bedroom? It sets a bad example for the children."

L pulled the lollipop out, making a pop! sound. "I know, but I stay up at late hours. This is how I get my energy."

"That's your own damn fault." Light snapped. He was way too tired to deal with four children instead of three. "Take the candy into the kitchen if you have to eat it."

L pouted. "But Light…"

"No buts, L."

L stuck his lollipop back his mouth and cracked it in his teeth, pulling out the stick. He smirked at Light who rolled his eyes.

Mello tugged on Light's sleeve. "Can I eat my chocolate in the kitchen?"

"No, you have school tomorrow."

Mello crossed his arms. "School sucks!"

Light looked at him sternly. "Hey, no talking like that or I'll take your chocolate away for longer."

Mello scowled, but didn't say anything else.

Matt poked Light's back, his speakers in one hand and Mello's chocolate in the other. Light took them both. "Now go back to sleep." He moved his stern gaze to Matt. "If Mello doesn't return your PSP, come get me."

Matt nodded and turned to run back down the hall. "Night Daddy!" he called halfway down.

Mello was right behind him, his steps thumping loudly against the hard wood floor. "Yeah, night Daddy!"

Light kept a warm, motherly smile until they disappeared. He sighed in exhaustion, shuffling back into the bedroom and closing the door behind him.

"A mother's work is never done." L remarked, unwrapping another cherry lollipop.

Light glared at him, about to make a comment about the lollipop but decided to let is slide just this once. "Yeah, yeah. I bet you couldn't make it through one day doing my job."

L raised an eyebrow, sliding the lollipop through his placid lips. "Is that a challenge?"

"Yeah…" Light said thoughtfully, before grinning. "Yeah, it is."

"Alright." L allowed. "How about we make it interesting then?"

"You want to make a bet?" Light nearly laughed. L was aware of who took care of the children and did the housework, so why is he making it hard on himself?

L shrugged. "You seem confident that I will lose, I thought it would favor you."

Light chuckled. "Alright, alright. If I win… you go abstinent for a whole week."

L pouted. "But Light…"

"What's wrong, L? Scared of losing?" Light smirked. He knew L was impatient and didn't like going without sex for too long, so this would be the perfect punishment next to going without sweets. But an L without sugar was a dangerous L. That was the conditions of a past bet, and Light didn't want to go there again.

L blinked, his eyes narrowing. "Of course not. Those conditions are fine with me." He sucked on his lollipop thoughtfully, before pulling it out, making the same pop! sound as earlier. "And if I win, I can have as many sweets whenever and however I like."

However. What does he mean by however? Light shook his head, not wanting to know. "Alright, L. You're on."

The brunette climbed back into the bed before being immediately pulled kiss by his husband. "Mmm… L, stop." he mumbled, pulling away.

But L pulled him back towards him firmly. "If I end up losing, I will have to go abstinent. I want to have you for one night before we do this bet."

Light gave in unwillingly as L began to suck on his neck. "B-But what if the kids hear us…"

"They won't." L mumbled through his skin.

"But they always do…"

L pushed Light down on the bed. "Then this time is not any different."

Done~

Yep, L doesn't like going without sex. Light's going to be the mother figure. Fun fun fun.

Matt is eight, Mello is nine, and Near is seven. Just thought I should clarify that.

Well, the whole idea for this family fic was just kinda pulled out of no where just so I could write it, so sorry if seems sloppy or poorly written. As I said before, I just wrote what came to mind.

But yeah. If you like the idea, review this chapter~
