The classroom sat silent the usual sounds around the school, Near sat in the back watching the teacher happily bounce around making math jokes. He rolled his eyes and looked outside. The bells chimed and everyone stood up and walked out of the room. Near trailed behind everyone and put his books in his locker.
Walking outside to the courtyard to eat his lunch in peace with his older brother and, begrudgingly, his boyfriend, Light. Not really understanding what the two of them see in each other, he just lets the case rest. Last time he brought it up, L ignored his existence for a week.
He crossed the threshold to go outside and he saw Sayu sitting with L and Light, her soft chestnut hair whimsically blowing in the wind and a cheerful smile while she laughed with the two. Sighing softly to himself, "I'm not even sure how my brother got his attention… Nonetheless me… With her."
Near was snapped up into a noogie, "Well well. If it isn't the albino!"
Near sighed and just let what was coming, come. But, to his surprise he heard a high pitched yell behind him, "Leave him alone!"
Sayu stood behind them with her hands on her hips, the bully laughed, "And, if I don't?"
Light was standing behind her with his arms folded, "You'll deal with me." Light wasn't a big guy, he wasn't ultra strong, but something about him carried weight. He was intimidating. Like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Something almost predatory about his stare, most people left him alone after he started dating L… More importantly and interestingly, EVERYONE left L alone after that.
We heard a young man clear his throat, as the bully turned around he was met with a strong left hook… Teru, on the other hand, oh no. He's strong, and best friends with Light, whatever Light says goes.
Teru smirked and gave him a thumbs up and kept walking. He strolled down the halls as if he didn't just knock some kid unconscious with a single blow.
Near turned to Light and Sayu emotionlessly, "Thank you. It, however, wouldn't be the first time. Won't be the last, I'm sure."
Light cocked and eyebrow and turned around without saying anything. Sayu stayed smiling an awkward smile. "Come on! Come eat with us!"
Near furrowed her eyebrows, "This is the first time she's ever said anything to me, beyond the pleasantries and greetings. Not that I'm complaining… However, this activity is very unusual."
Setting his lunch down he listened to L and Light talk amongst themselves and Sayu bit her lip, "Want to make someone jealous?"
Near dropped his chopsticks. "I'm sorry?"
