Hello! I wanted to do a oneshot to celebrate the little albino's birthday! Near, care to do the disclaimer?

Near: Shadow Fox 2013 does not own Death Note or Hot-Wheels, only Red -_-

Shadow: *huggles Near* Yay, thank you dear! Happy birthday!

"A-Are you sure Near?" Rester asked hesitantly. Near nodded,

"Yes, you all can leave early for the day, go spend time with your families or something," he replied, not looking up from his dice tower. They all nodded and left, saying quick 'bye's to the small albino. It was silent in the headquarters; the only sound was the clicking of dice and the hum of the sleeping computers. The silence was broken as a small female chuckle carried to the boy,

"Hello N," she greeted, stepping into the room, revealing a girl with green eyes and vibrant red hair. Near didn't look up as she walked over to him, he didn't even blink as she sat herself next to the boy. "Where is everyone?" she questioned. He added another die to the tower,

"I let them leave," was his simple reply. She nodded, watching as he continued to stack, seeming as though in a trance. After a few moments, he spoke, "Is there something you need Red?" he asked in monotone. She shrugged, taking an envelope out of her hoodie before handing it to him. he looked at it for a minute before cautiously opening it, revealing a card with a gothic N.

Near, it read, knowing you, there'll be no party to celebrate your birthday. Anyways, I didn't know what to get you, so I thought it would be a fun idea to give you the thing that Watari and I have been saving all these years. Check the envelope again and, Near? Happy birthday and try to lighten up!

Love, Red

Near looked at her, confusion in his dull grey eyes. she motioned to the envelope once more, causing him to sigh softly and shake it. A medium sized paper fell out, showing a glossy picture of a teen with dark bags under his eyes and messy raven hair smiling softly with a younger Near, and a smiling redhead and blonde; Mello and Matt. He stared at it, turning it over and seeing writing on the back,

'Lawliet, Nate, Mihael, and Mail.' He looked at her, seeing a soft smile on her face as she looked at it,

"This is us." She nodded, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder,

"Yeah, do you remember that day?" He thought about it,

Flashback

A nineteen year old L smiled lightly at the two five year olds and one four year old albino,

"Hello boys." Near gave a smile and kept playing with his blocks while Matt and Mello grinned widely, tackling the teen in a hug,

"L!" they shouted. Watari walked in,

"It seems Red has caught a small cold," he stated. Near frowned at the thought of his friend being sick,

"Is Red okay?" he asked quietly. The old man nodded, smiling at his concern,

"Of course, she'll be better in no time." Near seemed appeased, for he went back to the blocks. L shook his head in amusement and walked over to the boy, picking him up while still carrying the other two. Watari smiled softly at the sight and took a quick picture, sliding it back in his pocket before they saw.

Present

Near looked back at Red,

"Yes, you were sick and Watari took a picture, I saw him," he stated thoughtfully. She smiled at him, wrapping her thin arms around the pale boy,

"Happy birthday Nate," she whispered. He sat still as the girl backed away, still smiling, before laying on the floor next to his tower, taking one of his hot-wheels and driving it around while he put the picture back and went back to stacking dice, an almost non-existent smile on his face.

Tell me if you liked it or not!
