Natural Genius

"Twirl, twirl", in between his fingers lie

a piece of his white locks,

Solving the blank puzzle.

It doesn't matter how well the process went,

If you can't solve the puzzle or win the game,

You're just a loser, end of story…

Sprawled about are darts, toys, and dice.

It's a bit lonesome, always being number one.

A natural genius blessed from above,

With only a handful who's intelligence rivals his own

Sensitive at heart,

He distances himself from others

Despite the opposing nickname.

While childish and a bit cheeky,

With one leg up and the other dangling,

He carries out the role his mentor

Had before him…

*A/N: I do not own Near or Death Note, yadda yadda, haha. :) I tried getting in the shoes of Near and thought about how his mind works. I hope i did well. He's my favorite character in DN, haha. Hopefully, more to come, i may even make a twoshot love story revolving around him. ;)
