Matt’s the type to come home from an early morning filming session with two bouquets in his hands. He’d quietly walk into the bedroom to find you and Charlotte cuddled under the blankets.
The second she sees him, she’d rub her eyes and mumble, “Daddy uppy,” and he’d scoop her into his arms without hesitation.
He’d hand you a bouquet of roses. “These are for you, my love,” then give Charlotte her own tiny flowers, watching her clap and giggle.
“Thought I’d get both my valentines some flowers,” he’d say, kissing you softly and pressing a gentle kiss to Charlotte’s forehead.
a/n . . . thanku sm anon !!!! i hope u love this ahahah matt is so bae ; slightly suggestive at points, fluff, fem reader
★ he calls you "babe" with zero inflection, always mid-sentence. "babe can you pass the lighter" or "babe your shirt’s on inside out again". it sounds throwaway but you catch the smirk every time.
★ his bed’s a mess. crumbs, tangled sheets, hoodie pile in the corner. but somehow he keeps your spot clean. he always straightens the pillow you use.
★ when you stretch or bend over near him, he always whistles low and fake. every time. "damn" like he hasn't seen it a thousand times. it’s dumb. it’s routine. you secretly love it.
★ bites his controller when he’s mad. not even aggressively. just like a dog gnawing in frustration.
★ he’s always warm. not just body heat — comfortable. like laying on him is your natural position. you sprawl across his chest and he just keeps gaming like it’s normal.
★ he stands behind you while you’re at the sink or stove — not on purpose, just because he’s drawn to you like a heat source. he’s close. too close. chest brushing your back, arms on either side of you. doesn’t move.
★ you’ll be sitting there, hoodie halfway zipped, and he’ll casually pull the zipper down a few inches while still holding a controller.
doesn’t say anything. doesn’t even look. just… adjusts.
★ will pull you into the bathroom while he brushes his teeth. spits, wipes his mouth, and kisses your shoulder like it’s routine. like mint and skin go together.
★ cleans his goggles with the edge of your shirt. not even distracted. just does it while you're talking. the fabric stretches, his knuckles graze your chest, and he doesn't say a word.
★ his voice drops when he’s half-asleep — scratchy, thick, wrecked. and when he says “c’mere for a sec” in that tone? your knees almost give.
★ has a habit of tapping rhythmically on your thigh. while you’re talking. while he’s zoning out. doesn’t realize how hypnotic it feels until your breath catches.
★ turns his whole head when you walk into the room. every time. doesn’t play it off. just watches you like you’re the only real thing in the building.
★ he lets you ramble. for hours. sprawled on the couch, pacing in the kitchen, sitting on his lap while you go off about something niche — he doesn’t interrupt. he just nods, eyes on you like you’re the main quest.
★ lets you sit between his legs while he plays. at some point his hands drift from the controller to your thighs and he doesn’t move them back.
“i can still reach the buttons. s’all good.”
★ when you're talking and flailing your hands, he grabs your wrist mid-sentence just to feel your pulse.
“you’re wound up,” he mumbles, like that wasn’t already obvious.

his grandparents & father all died before his birth due to age/ illness
hence his mother was very mentally fucked
raised catholic & became agnostic
his mother left him at a care facility when he was five years old (1994).. reasons? he never understood
it was actually a combination of feeling inept to care for a child + endangering him
so she left him at a care facility & told him she would come back sooner or later (she didnt)
mello believes that he was insufficient for her
a year later when the war started settling he was noticed by english ngo workers
so he was then taken to wammy's house

Matt headcanons for a sensitive and soft-hearted but feisty s/o
Playful Teasing
Matt will throw out lighthearted comments just to see you get fired up ( because he thinks you are adorable when you are passionate )
“You’re really cute when you’re yelling at me. Should I mess up again just for fun?”
Games Together
If you are upset or in need of a distraction, Matt will hand you a controller and challenges you to a game. He’ll let you win most of the time, but if you are in a competitive mood ,he’ll enjoy your playful determination to beat him
Matches Your Energy
If you are in a feisty mood, Matt can match your vibe and keep up with your banter. He loves your sass and doesn’t mind letting you take the lead in playful arguments
Secretly Loves Your Rants
Matt will encourage you to vent or go on passionate rants, no matter how small the topic might be. He finds your fire captivating and will often throw in playful comments like;
“You’re so cute when you’re angry.‘‘
Patience with Tears
When you are upset or crying, Matt’s surprisingly good at staying calm. He’s not the best with words, but his presence is comforting. He’ll sit besides you, offer his hoodie, and quietly says stuff like;
“You don’t have to talk, but I’m here when you’re ready.”

When you are overwhelmed, Matt has a talent for redirecting your focus with little distractions. He’ll suggest playing a game, watching a random video, or pulling you into a stupid little conversation

Matt knows the world can be cruel and while he respects your ability to handle it, he’ll do his best to protect you from unnecessary negativity
“You don’t need to deal with that. Let me handle it, okay?“
Gives Quiet Compliments

“You know you’re the best part of my day, right?”
Loves Your Little Acts of Kindness
Matt notices and appreciates all the small, thoughtful things you do for him, even if he doesn’t always say it. He’ll quietly return the favors in his own way

Matt isn’t one to back down from a bit of sass. He enjoys trading playful barbs with you, knowing you will come back with something clever
Subtle Instigator

cw: semi-toxic relationship, rough sex, choking, he cums in you (cw needed (?)), a lot of run on sentences idc
afab!reader, reader referred to as a 'girlfriend'
~ 500 words
----------------------------------------
He always says it as he cums inside of you, almost inaudible, sliding off his tongue like another breath. “I love you.” he says. Yet, when morning comes, you always wake up to an empty bed.
In the dead of night he touches you so gently, whispers so kindly into your ear, feels the inside of your mouth with the very same tongue he uses to kick you out in the morning. When he says “I love you”, and fucks you like he means it, you really believe it.
But when he acts like you're his dirty secret when morning comes, talks bad about you to your face and behind your back, and has those nights where he fucks you hard with his hand tight around your throat, and only bothers to undo the fly of his jeans, pulling his cock out of his boxers, and leaving his belt to bang up the inside of your thighs as he carelessly uses you for his own gratification, you can't help but feel like just his whore. It’s on those nights when he doesn't even grant you the privilege of staying over for the night, or a ride back to your place, when you walk home in the cold night, scantily dressed, with your ripped tights on, shivering with the beginnings of fingertip shaped bruises on your neck and waist, your underwear wet with his cum, lip gloss nothing but a smeared pinkish tint all around your lips, and mascara running down your face, that you wonder if he just says the words “I love you” to keep you complacent and always returning to his unmade bed.
But there’s always such a sincere look on his face when he spends time with you beyond the realm of his dingy bedroom, the way he hangs onto every word you say even when he couldn't care less about whatever topic you talk to him about, laughing at all your jokes, even when they're not funny, and the way he always wants you around even if he’s just mindlessly gaming all day. Matt even asks for your help when he dyes his hair with that shitty black box dye. He always tells you to leave when Mello comes over to his place, yet seems to like the way you and Mello get along. You can never quite wrap your mind around the way you’ll spend a night crying and alone, wondering if you mean anything at all to Matt beyond a good fuck, and then the very next morning he’ll wrap his arms around you and kiss the back of your bruised neck as you make coffee in his kitchen.
You’d think he barely considers you a close friend, and you certainly aren't his girlfriend, but he’s always your most recent text message and phone call, and it feels like you spend more time with him than you do anyone else in your life. He once told you that you, Mello, and his plug were the three people he sees the most often. Yet nothing ever changes between the two of you, he never gets serious with you, never pulls you close, but never pushes you away either, always keeps you just at arm's length. You spend so much time with him but it still feels like you know nothing about him. You just don't get him at all.
----------------------------------------
tldr; matt is probably your boyfriend and just bad at communication (mf got a 3/10 in social skills) but honestly who knows with that guy
Mello isn’t a good person. It’s not new knowledge to him, in fact one of his first memories is shoving some toddler to the ground over some toys. He’s not stupid enough to even try branding himself as a good person, that notion fell through long before he first heard someone’s last gasps of air, the sickening gurgle in the back of their throats and a silent mouthed cry for their mother.
He knew he wasn’t a good person as he dry heaved onto the ground, nothing even able to come up, when had he last eaten again? He wasn’t a good person when he stuffed that headless corpse into a trash bag, shoving the heaving bag into the boot of Rod Ross’s luxury car. The empty McDonald’s wrappers that were scattered through the car crunched under his feet as he climbed into the car stone faced.
Most of all he definitely wasn’t a good person when he stood outside the chipped blue door of Matt’s apartment. He was grateful for once that Matt lived in a shitty part of town, no one really cared to look enough at the blood on his knuckles, the broken nose, the various bruises and scratches and spatters of blood. He needed to bring two changes of clothes in the future.
It was difficult to knock, it always had been. This was different however, far further than it had ever been before. Matt would take one look at him and know what he had done. How could he not? The man was integrated into every electronic he used, how else can you blackmail people if you’re not constantly recording every conversation you have. Yet Mello couldn’t decide what was worse, Matt looking at him with disgust or with love. The option of both made his stomach turn, the disgust he could deal with. It made sense. But to react with kindness and care? Mello didn’t think he could take it.
He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Mello grimaced slightly as it cracked open, the smoky haze of light shining on his blood splattered face.
“Oh hey busy day?” Matt said, putting his phone into his pocket. “I put the kettle on if you wanna shower, but I’m nearly through something big.” He rubbed his hands excitedly, walking back to his computer. “I’m gunna get back to it, I wanna be in Aruba in two weeks! I love stealing~”
Mello snickered, both of them would die of sun poisoning on the first day. His shoulders sagged as he unclenched his jaw. “Shower sounds great.”
He wasn’t a good person, but neither was Matt. Thank god for that.
Characters involved: Light Yagami, L Lawliet, Near, Mello, Matt
Gender-neutral reader, you/yours
Light Yagami
Regardless of what happened to you, Light will presume this is because of people who are trying to hurt him through you.
Being Kira's s/o is obviously a dangerous position, and he heavily chastises himself for not thinking of his status impacting you before.
This is obviously not completely true, as what happened was a mere accident and had nothing to do with you being his partner.
If another person was involved in the accident then they will definitely be killed using the death note, this is non-negotiable and Light will probably hide their death from you.
He starts keeping a close eye on everything you do and will not let you go places without him for a while. Even after that Light often sends Ryuk to watch over you when he's executing his plans to ensure you don't get caught in it.
Overall, he takes this incident as a challenge to try and prove that he can be Kira and have a partner without it ending in a tragical romance.
L Lawliet
L definitely isn't as crazed Light but he is very cautious because of the incident.
He considers himself foolish for not thinking about such a thing happening before and does get very panicked at the thought of possibly losing you.
Unlike Light who's accustomed to caring for others, his family, and having important people in his life, L has never really had to worry about anyone except himself and Watari, which is why this incident sort of shocks him into realising you are now part of that list too.
He won't be overbearing physically, but he will insist upon having surveillance for some time or at least sending Watari with you.
If you protest then he pretends to understand and agree not to do it, but he still will survey you anyways.
L will get used to the idea of having to look out for you pretty easily, as he also considers the fact that in the future if your relationship ever goes public people might try to use you to get to him.
Overall, he probably seems like the calmest out of them all but he's really spiralling mentally and feels a need to constantly have you around after that.
Mello
The angry kind.
He probably yells at you after the incident and calls you an idiot, but it's really just his way of showing you he cares (that doesn't excuse the fact that he's being toxic).
He'll get overbearing but unlike the others, he doesn't give you a chance. Mello can and will force you into accepting his sudden surveillance and has the connections to ensure you are always watched by someone he trusts if he isn't available.
The two of you probably fight about it quite a bit and Mello starts yelling and has to force himself to understand the fact that just because he cares about you doesn't make this okay.
He's never really had to care about someone so much before, sure he has Matt but he's never cared to this extent, which is why Mello just gets very panicked and doesn't know what to do with himself.
With Mello, conversation is key in this situation.
If you fight fire with fire it might just result in things getting worse and him going Yandere.
Near
Blames himself.
To Near, it's all but insulting you were even put in such a situation. He thinks that it's his fault for not seeing this possibility before.
If he was there to witness the situation his guilt and decision to blame himself only gets worse to the point where he thinks he needs to take extra measures to make up for his previous shortcomings.
He wouldn't force surveillance on you or anything but he might get a little overbearing because he doesn't want you to go places without him or be out of his sight.
Unlike the others Near is open to an argument in fact he wants you to argue back, wants you to knock him out of his self-blaming spiral.
He isn't very familiar with human emotion and doesn't really know how to comprehend what he feels for you and how the thought of you feeling pain affects him so badly.
Just like Mello he just needs to understand this new feeling and how to cope with it healthily.
Matt
Matt is the calmest of them all, and unlike L he's not faking it.
Sure, he's scared shitless. If anything this incident just shows him how careful he needs to be about mixing you and his work since the possibility of you getting hurt is very real.
He doesn't want to risk losing you and isn't very happy about the fact that you could have been taken from him.
Normally, Matt isn't very physically affectionate but now he's holding you in his arms for hours on end convincing himself that nothing happened, that you're fine.
It would be cute if he didn't talk about keeping you with him and only him while you were in his arms.
Very yandere thoughts but unlike the others he doesn't do anything about it.
Well, he doesn't kidnap you. But he does set up a camera outside your house and a tracker in your car. Mello told him to do this before anyways (just in case you were a mole) so that's just more of a reason for Matt to keep an eye on you.
He doesn't tell you any of this, and you will probably never find out since Matt's good at what he does and know how to ensure his targets don't know they're being watched.
