The silent game

"Near"

"Mello"

It was the same greeting every time they saw each other. Never once was a hello or a polite wave exchanged just the saying of each others names. Matt, well he was fed up with it! He had tried millions of times to get them to have a polite conversation but that just resulted in Mello threatening someone very important to matt.

"Mello I'm so very very sorry!" wailed matt as Mello held his favorite Mario game above the toilet with one hand and a German chocolate bar in the other.

"Why are you sorry?" Mello asked knowing very well why the goggle wearing, game loving boy was apologizing.

"I am so sorry for locking you in a closet with near for two hours with no chocolate to calm your nerves" matt finished the apology of with the cutest puppy dog eyes he could an for dramatic effect a fake tear .

Mello being the sucker that he is for matt's big green eyes threw the game at his forehead and stormed out leaving a teary eyed mad who was actually crying due to the fact that the game was a cd and when it was thrown at his head it flew sideways.

"Vrrrroooom vrrroom vrroom" near sped the 8cm car out of the imaginary parking space and sped down the imaginary street. The car was stopped short though as mello stepped in the middle of the imaginary street. Near looked up expectantly waiting for mello to say something. ANYTHING! All near wanted to do was drive his car to the imaginary airport so the doll in the drivers seat could pick up his imaginary boyfriend. Yes HIS imaginary BOYFRIEND. Near was no homophobe, he was the complete opposite he was all for being gay. He himself is bi-sexual (but that's off topic!). While near was waiting for mello to speak he got impatient and called his name.

"Mello" he said in his normal monotone voice grey eyes unmovingly waiting for some sort of response.

"….." Mello just stared at near. He was supposed to tell him what roger said about a trip to visit L but he didn't want to lose the game. What game? The never speak again game. The basic point of the game is to not say anything to each other other than their names. Mello did not plan on losing they had been at this since they were 12. 3 years this had lasted! Why did mello really not want to lose? Loser was uke for as long as the winner wants. Oh did I forget to mention they were best friend with benefits since they were 11.

"you win" Near declared as he finally felt the sexual tension getting to him.

That night near and mello 'talked' for hours until they were too tired and matt well lets just say he bled continuously from his nose in a steady stream until he passed out in mello's doorway! Neither noticed until mello tripped over his leg going to breakfast.

AN: I hate this fic. But thanks anyway Nathan for the idea and helping me with some lines!
