The wind blew the clouds over the night sky, no stars were to be seen everything was black. A pale figure stood by the window looking for the moon, waiting, waiting for something to happen. Going over what his love told him that afternoon. "Look for me in the moonlight, I will come for you, I will be there for you my Near".

Thinking and staring out of the blackened window was somehow depressing for Near. He was always waiting for what he so desperately wanted, he never got the things he wanted right away oh no he waited for hours not saying a word not moving from his spot not eating not drinking, just staring out of the window. Something stirred inside of him that night, hatred, lust and loneliness. He knew at once why he waited a long time it was obvious, he was not coming he left him behind to be forever forgotten not to give another though of just be abandoned like a puppy. "Kira" He whispered softly, the warm air made steam on the window.

SEVEN WEEKS EARLIER

"You wear me just like jewelry I am of use to you one moment and the next I am lying somewhere never to be picked up!" Matt yelled at his blonde companion, his teeth were showing cheeks red with furry.

"Matt listen you don't look to good, lay down and I will make you some coffee." Mello said smoothly he knew that if Matt was mad then there was a high chance of him sleeping on the couch, and loads of smart people know that the couch however comfy it may be its not a sweet and nice as sleeping with someone you love.

"Mello! It does not work that way you know as well as I do that" Mello walked up to Matt and pressed his index finger on his lips, coming closer to his face he brushed his free hand on Matt's knee and up to his chest. Smirking slightly he opened his mouth and let his tongue slide on his cheek, he let go and put his hands on his knees and bent down looking straight at Matt he spoke softly.

"Matt you and I go way back, we are friends and I love you, I would never use you." Matt just sat on the bed in shock he stared into Mello's eyes and blinked. Glaring suddenly he pushed passed him and walked away; stalking to the corner of the room he plopped down and played his game. Smirking now Mello walked to the bathroom and turned on the shower, stripped and stepped into the steamy shower.

IN THE WAMMY HOUSE WHERE NEAR AND MELLO AND MATT ARE (yes this is the PAST)

Near shrunk back into a chair and pulled his puzzle closer to him fitting all the pieces together, he spoke softly to himself county the pieces of the puzzle that were all together making sure that they were all there, missing pieces were a nuisance. Something interrupted him from his solitary thinking and puzzle solving, it was shouting he tuned in and started listening.

"You think that I would be in joy with the current position that I am in?"

"No but what am I to do, who are you in this world? Your alliance with me is not wanted. Do you think that I would rejoice in your family status?"

"I-I"

Near just shrugged and started his puzzle again, this was the fourth argument Matt and Mello had today, Mello had been making remarks about Matt's family, yet that was not logical due to the fact that this was an orphanage who knows there parents. This made Near wonder of Mello, was he really as smart as they say, or does he just say anything at the moment and acts in a rash manor? It's not as if he would ever get close to Mello they were never close and to Nears delight never would be.

"Well, well look who we have here if it is not the puzzle solving little albino. How are we today Near?" Near was interrupted by his thoughts he looked at the person who was talking. A blonde stuck his face Close To Near, so close that he could smell the chocolate that covered his breath.

"I am fine Mello, and you?" Mello raised and eye brow and left his face only to look down on him so that near would have to look up to see him.

"Let's see I am not getting top marks anymore cause some little shit keeps getting better, but other than that I am peachy." Near just blinked in reply, there was not much that could be done in the current position what was he to do? He could not just dumb himself down, no that would break L's expectations of him, and never did he want to disappoint L.

"Well aren't you going to say anything?!" Mello spat, his face was a slight red anger had indeed broiled up inside of him. He looked at Near and growled, who were they kidding this kid was stupid looking but he had some wit Mello gave him that but why in the hell does L visit Near and not him. He was just as smart or even smarter, what made that prick so important?

"Well Near I think it's about time I show you who is boss around here what do you think…Matt?" Matt walked over and smirked and lit a cigarette. (Yes he smoked even when at the house cause I said so)

ABOUT AND HOUR LATER

Near entered his room, hobbling to his chair, he had been beaten up before but this, this was the most painful experience of all of them the way Mello hurt him was huge it had never happened to him before, well not in this sort of fashion, why would Mello pick this time to hurt Near? This was wandering through his mind, to Near, Mello was like a puzzle everything was he had to solve it. He slumped down in the chair he gasped the pain was incredible he sat sideways instead of on his behind, he waited on the chair for something to happen he did not know what but anything was good just to keep this off of his mind. A knock at the door interrupted his thinking, and it was much appreciated, it was indeed needed.

"Come in" Near softly said but loud enough for the person to come in.

"Hello Near, how are you this evening?"

"Why are you here?"
