A.N: I was shuffling through some songs on my phone and I heard Faint by Linkin Park. I'm almost sure you know it… Anyways, I recently found out what a songfic is[forgive me .!] and this song just screamed[literally] Mello and Near. So here we are. And this is my first fan/song/death note/whateverelseyouwannaadd-fic. Be kind please! But honest! Enjoy!

(I suggest listening to the song too:) Italicized-Mello | Underlined-Near | Normal-song

Gasp! I almost forgot- Disclaimer! I do not own the Death Note characters[I wish…] or the song. Which is by Linkin Park. And I suggest you listen to it –winkwink nudgenudge-

I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard

Near, sitting in his usual crouch, made a tower of Legos while the children rushed past him for playtime. Yes, Near remembered those lonely days at the Wammy house. He also remembered Mello- who was sitting in the chair across him.

Handful of complaints but I cant help the fact that everyone can see these scars

Mello faced the Near, tracing the scars on his face. It was known to everyone who had ever known the two that Mello had a fierce rivalry with Near. And yet, here the two were, sitting silently in front of each other.

I am what I want you to want what I want you to feel

Near's emotions, Mello wondered. How could he reach them?

But it's like no matter what I do I can't convince you to just believe this is real

So I let go watching you turn your back like you always do

Near watched Mello who watched him. It had been half an hour and neither made a sound to each other, or at all. But Near watched Mello get up. "He wanted to say something. I wonder…" Near thought to himself.

Face away and pretend that I'm not

"Mello," he heard Near say. Mello kept walking towards the door. He couldn't do it now. Not yet.

But I'll be here cause you're all that I got

Near said nothing after Mello raised his hand in a silent goodbye. It was then that Mello turned unexpectedly around. "Till next time, Near." The door shut. "I'll be waiting, Mello." Near whispered quietly to himself.

Well, there ya go! This is my first story/… repeat those slashes made earlier- and this was actually more of a trial run. You know, see what I did wrong, fix mistakes, and see what I can do to make my stories better. You get me? Anyways, leave a comment. Tell me how I did. But not as a first-timer, just generally. And I honestly think I did a poor job at this. P.s: I probably wont be adding on to this. Like I said, this was a test run. Just trying to see how everything works on fanfic...
