Well, this just popped in my head right before I went on stage for a recital. And I couldn't stop thinking about it, so I just knew I HAD to write it. WARNING: BODY SWITCH, YAOI, AND SEXUAL THEMES.

Also, This is NOT a Hal x Mello fic. Dunn be ridiculous.


Mello's POV

I watched a sleeping Hal whom had crashed on the couch after a long day of work. She never slept around me... she was much too cautious for that. But now... she was just sleeping like a little baby.

I can't help but wonder about her relationship with Near. Do they talk about private things, not pertaining to the Kira case? Did they do anything physical, despite her older age? What did they do? I wonder...

I got up, setting my chocolate bar on the glass coffee table and crept over to her. Hal's mouth was popped open, a little drool dribbling out of her mouth. No one ever got to see Hal in such a vulnerable state... I felt honored.

I imagined all the horrendous things I could do to her... My first thought was, I could kill her. My second, was that my sexual tension that was all thanks to Near, could be released brutally and painfully on her. Third, I could kill her. Fourth, I could kill her. And fifth, I could kill her.

Killing her seemed like an interesting option. And it was open for debate. She'd be out of my way, and she wouldn't be around Near anymore...

Why did her being around Near bother me so? Well, she was attractive, for one. But was Near the kind of person to fall for a pretty face? No... that wasn't the main problem. She was smart and talented. Not nearly as smart and talented as ME of course. But still, smart enough for Near. Plus, she was a woman after all.

I couldn't picture it. I just couldn't picture her at Near's side. Him holding her and telling her he loved her. I just didn't see it. I tried to imagine it, but all I got was myself holding Near, telling him he was MINE forever and ever. My property.

Disgusting. What a horrible image... or was it?

Near naked, now there's something. Mmm...

I absently liked my lips before I realized that I was beginning to drool, almost as bad as Hal was. Stopping myself I brought myself closer to her, my face right in front of hers.

"I hate you, Hal." I hissed, "I hate you for being so close to Near. You get to be around him every single day. You stupid whore, I bet you'd suck him off if he told you to. I can see you wanting him to play with you, like he does his stupid little toys."

Yellowish eyes blinked open to stare at me, "Mello?" She asked groggily, "What-"

"I was going to wake you up." I said, rising over her, watching as she quickly sat up, rubbing her eyes before watching me warily, over-cautious bitch. "I'm hungry."

"You have your chocolate. Mello, I don't mind you being here, but you don't need to pester me about food." She stood up, cracking her back and looked out the window, "Oh... it's late and raining. I need to head over to the headquarters to check with Near. Stay out of trouble, I'll be back." She grabbed her coat and umbrella and headed to the door.

"While you're out, you need to grab more food. You're fridge is an empty wasteland." I snapped, plopping on her spot on the couch, it was still warm from her leftover body heat, flipping on the television, and turning to the news, what is Kira up to?

"Alright, remember, if you run, all I have to do is tell Near that you were with me and-"

Ugh, this again, "I know, I know, you don't have to repeat yourself. Go away."

She nodded, her lips pressing in a thin line, and walked out the door.

"Bitch." I grumbled, turning up the TV volume began the thunder began to get louder.

Nothing interesting was on the news, so I just turned to some yoga channel, watching as fat ugly women stretched to annoying pop music. Damn Kesha... what is up with all these new singers of today? I mean, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Flo Rida? What the hell? Music these days...

The thunder started to get louder, the lightning grew considerably brighter, until it was just lighting up the whole dark house.

"I hate Hal. I hate that Hal is taking Near from me. I hate her. I wish I could see what they do. See how they work together... I just wish-"

Another flash of lightning, the brightest flash so far, and the power flickered off. Everything was dark, there wasn't even any light provided by the window. All the streetlights had went out, too.

"Dammit." I grumbled. Nothing to do now, no TV, I couldn't even cook food. I sighed, Hal wouldn't be back for a while, I might as well just take a nap...

Hal's POV

Mello was acting strangely, I thought, drumming my fingertips on the steering wheel, waiting for the light to turn green so I could continue to the SPK building.

Maybe all this rivalry with Near has finally gotten to him. I even heard him grumbling, 'Near' in his sleep. That would be something to talk with Near about...

I drove past the intersection, and pulled into the SPK parking lot, climbing out of my car, but not before popping open my umbrella. Holding my rain shield above my head, I hurried into the warm SPK building. I pushed the button to the elevator and right before the doors opened, the lights flickered, and then powered off.

"..." I sighed, I should have expected something like this would happen, what with the stormy weather outside. I could be at home sleeping to the nice pitter patter of the rain... Well, I COULD if Mello wasn't raging about my cozy home sweet home.

There was absolutely no light, I could take the stairs, or wait until the power came back on. I took a step forward, deciding to use the stairs, and felt my way cautiously down the wall.

I felt like I was blind, having to feel around in the dark like this. This must what it might be like... to be blind. If a blind person experiences a power shortage, they wouldn't have any trouble feeling in the dark like this. They would be well experienced with this kind of dilemma. Already knowing where to go, and what to do if the situation ever arose. They couldn't see anyways...

I always wondered how a blind person felt when they were blind... A stupid question I know. But really, behind their eyelids, or that milky film that hangs heavily over their eyes, what do they see? Is it just like a dark tunnel? Never seeing anything before them? Or was it a bright white light?

It must be hard to explain. Mello might be able to explain, if he tried... he's already blind enough as it is... So young and blindingly trailing down the wrong path. The path of evil. What must it be like, always hide in the shadows... in the dark?

I reached the stairwell, and pulled open the door. Surely walking up a stair case must be easier than walking down one, right?

Wrong. As to be expected, I tripped, already a little ways up the stairwell and began to fall. My last thought before I blacked out was: this is bullshit...

Mello's POV

I woke up to an aching pain in my lower back, my head throbbing painfully.

"Ugh." I grumbled, and opened my eyes, blinking a few times to get used to the harsh lighting that I was greeted to. I sat up and glanced around.

Why was I lying in a stairwell? I reached up the rub my head, but was greeted by my strangely woman-like hand.

"Huh?" My voice sounded very different too.

"Huh." I repeated, "What the hell?"

I stood up, but was greeted by a heavy head rush, black spots danced in my vision before it cleared.

That never happened...

I glanced down, I was in work clothes. Black slacks, and a frilly yellow shirt... pardon me... WOMEN'S work clothes.

I had tits too. I groped them violently as soon as that special realization hit me.

"Boobs?"

Not my voice... more like...

"Oh my God..."

I ran up the stairs, work heels clicking the floor, hard, breaking through to the the top door and stumbled onto a blue tiled floor.

"Lidner. I'm glad you could join us. That power outage wasn't very pleasant, was it?"

Near...

The little freak was sitting on the floor surrounded by a freaky army of freakish toys, his freaky hand-made freak dolls, with his little freak hand twirly freakishly around a freaky lock of freak white curls.

He was so beautiful. It made my heart turn into a lump that swelled up painfully into my throat.

So achingly beautiful. And any eyes were simply blind if they couldn't see the raw beauty that was Near.


I'm thinking... this might be a two-shot... or a three-shot. Depends on how much people like it. ^-^;;
