A/N: Just a short little drabble this time.. The prompt being Superstar.
As the third best, there was little expected of Matt. He was just considered as the backup in case the unthinkable happened and the first and second died. He didn't get any special treatment like Mello and Near did... They were fawned over by the entire school, treated almost like they had superhuman abilities... and what was Matt? .. He was ordinary at best, sometimes he felt less than ordinary.
Games were his only skill, and that couldn't be used to take a position as the next L... Couldn't really be used for anything, right? Even if it was a useless skill, Matt was able to find some comfort in it. He just got such a rush from beating Mello or Near at a game. Mainly, it was just to know that he could excel at something. It kept him from going on a murderous ramapage at least...
When he got older he started learning how to gamble from some of his other friends. Then the games became more or less a time where he cleaned out the pockets of the other kids. It was easy to beat them, no sweat.. At first it was just money, but then it soon turned into something else.. Cigarettes were his main request. He'd developed a taste for them that Mello hadn't, and thought they made him look classy.
Near was the smart one, he knew that he would never win against Matt so he stopped playing. Matt was a little dissapointed by this refusal, because it meant no more demeaning little victory kisses from Near.. The cigarettes made him classy, but the kisses made him feel like he'd truly won achieved something.
Oh well, stealing that acheivement wasn't so bad either.
