This fic is set during the Mello-Near end of the series, but this chapter is set back at Whammy's, when the three were friends. I got the idea because me and two friends call ourselves the Whammy Kids. I'm Near XD.
Five Years Ago
"You sure, Near?" Mello's tone was serious as he heated a knife over the fire he'd made. Near's was determined as he replied;
"Of course I'm sure"
Mello sighed. "Get over here, Matt." Matt stood up and put his DS away, going to stand beside Mello. Mello roughly grabbed his arm, yanking it forward and gouging a deep scar from his elbow to his wrist. Blood dripped to the dirt below their feet. Matt gasped at the pain, fighting back a scream. He still held his arm out as Mello pulled Near from his favorite sitting position to stand beside them. Cleaning Matt's blood off the knife, he stretched out Near's arm to give him an identical scar. As Near hissed in pain, Mello opened a scar on his own arm. All three boys now had blood pooling in their palms, and they pressed their hands into a triangle. Now they all bore traces of each others blood. "Do you all promise to keep this pact? Forever, no matter what the circumstances?" Matt's voice revealed his nerves at this everlasting promise he was about to make. Mello took over; "If one of us three Whammy Kids dies, then we have a suicide pact, right? If any one of us dies." He paused, drawing a deep breath. "If any one of us dies, we won't leave him alone for very long. We'll follow as soon as we can." Matt stepped forward and grasped Near's arm above the elbow, pressing their scars together. He did the same to Mello, and then Mello did it to Near. Matt was still wincing in pain and went to wash his arm off with the water Mello had in his bag. Mello and Near stood staring at each other for a while; they both knew that, no matter what, they would remember this promise, and one day, they would have to honor it.
At exactly the same moment, both boys reached for the others face, and wiped away the crystal tears that rested on their cheeks.
Yeah, it's short. But its just a prologue. It needs to be read of the rest will be nonsensical XD. R&R, my doves, or I will FIND you ;)
