So I kinda stopped writing my sasunaru fic because i totally messed it up, but if you people want me to finish it just tell me. So try this out instead and tell me what you think, i think this one will turn out better :)

This is shounen ai, maybe I'll turn it to yaoi, if you want, the beginning though is mostly just friendship, and the reason it's called toy solier shall not be known till the very end (if i ever get there. You see i get very unconfident when it comes to my fanfics and art, so really, COMMENT!)

Disclaimer: I do not own own DN! Dx

Who knew? lol- omg! L! Look people it's L! It's L! Come here! I'm gonna try to own you...! No! No don't run away! I'm not CRAZYYYYYY!

lmao

well hope u like this Death Note, melloxnear fic :)

MelloxNear: Toy Soldier

Mello's POV:

Chapter 1

I knew I was supposed to hate him. It was the way I felt ever since I first met him, but now a new feeling was developing. I wasn't sure what it was and I wasn't sure if I liked it.

I just stared at the small albino boy crouched over a puzzle in the library. How does he surpass me when all he does is solve puzzles and play with toys all day?

"Are you just going to stand there gawking or are you going to come in, Mello?" I was flabbergasted. He was facing the opposite direction from the door so how did he know I was there? I was completely quite, I made sure of it! This just made me angrier. "So now your psychic?" I asked bitterly.

"There's no such thing as reading minds Mello." The small boy replied bluntly.

I snickered. "Then how else do you know everything?"

"I don't" He replied dryly.

"Oh ya?"

"For example," he continued, "I don't understand why you hate me so much. It can't just be because I surpass you at certain things." I gritted my teeth. The boy could really be too honest sometimes.

"That is why I hate you; it's the only reason why." I said with a little too much venom.

The boy finally turned around, and for just one second, I saw a small glint of sorrow in his dark eyes, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by his usual cold, empty black eyes.

"Would you like it if I stopped studying? Would you like me then?"

I snorted as I unwrapped a chocolate bar from my pocket. "No way. I don't need your pity. I'll pass you! You wait." I turned and left the boy alone.

My rival.

Near.

Two weeks later and I haven't talked to Near. So it surprised me to see him sitting on my bed. I must've left the door open again… I sighed silently. "Hello Mello." He said. As if that explains what he's doing in my room. "I brought you some chocolate." He showed me a small basket.

I tilted my head in confusion. Why was he….? Was this his way of saying sorry for being a know-it-all? "Uh…. Thanks?"

"It's a sign of truce. I'd like us to be friends. Two years I've been here, and once you found out I could be L's successor, you turned against me. I want that to stop."

He looked so cute and innocent. A small smile appeared on my face but I slapped myself inwardly for thinking such things.

"So will you accept?" What? He thought it was that easy? "I accept the chocolate but not your friendship." He looked hurt. I felt guilty. That look…. It almost broke my heart, I almost wanted to accept.

Almost.

But maybe I could let him down gently. "Well, listen Near, it's not that I don't want to be your friend, its just I can't."

"Why?" He asked with a hint of desperation.

"Well, we're rivals, we'd argue too much." I walked over and took a chocolate but I didn't eat it.

"You mean you would argue too much."

I was going to protest but I stopped and thought about it. It's true… I'm normally the one who fusses.

"Well…." I looked over at the small white boy cuddling the basket of chocolate closer to him. He's not the emotional-type person, so it was strange seeing him like this; he was struggling. I couldn't take it anymore! He's not supposed to be like this!

I took the basket of sweets out of his hands, put it aside and hugged him. I held him close and rubbed his back. I could feel him freeze in my arms. "M-mello?" He asked shocked.

I was shocked myself. My eyes were blank, starring into the distance and my heart was racing faster than usual.

"Near…." I said suddenly.

"Y-yes?"

"Promise me you'll never look so sad again. Promise me that and I'll be your friend."

He was silent for a moment.

"Okay Mello." He hugged me back and I smiled.

What did u think? cool huh? lol j/k
