Prologue:

Mellos P.O.V.

I can't stop staring at Near... And have been getting this strange feeling inside of myself whenever I look at him.

This has been going on ever since I first met him.

After many many years I have finally come to accept it.

I am in love, completely and utterly hopeless, in love with Near.

But will he accept my feelings or push me away?

Will I gain him like I've always wanted to hold and love or will I lose him?

So many unanswered questions that only being up more questions and no answers.

It frustrates me to no end.

... Maybe I'll tell him.

I've waited long enough surely so yes.

It's time to finally ask him out.

The bell rings signalling that class has ended and I gather my stuff with small glances towards Near.

He is out the door and I quickly grab my stuff chasing after him.

"Near wait." I call to him.

He stops and looks back to me. "Yes Mello?"

I stop when I am close to him. "Say I was wondering if maybe..." I suddenly am at a loss for words.

Near tilts his head slightly in the cutest way possible making me swallow harshly.

"Well..." I slightly glance away in embarrassment and I am sure I am blushing. "I was wondering if you want to go on a date." I finally get it out.

There's a moment of silence and I fear that he is going to reject me.

But then he responds. "Of course Mello."

I look to him and see him smiling that makes my heart skip a beat and my own smile to come to my lips. "That's great. I'll pick you up at seven."

Near nods. "Ok." He agrees.

We begin walking side by side as we head to his locker first as it's the closest.

"So what kind of things would you like to do? Maybe go to a movie? A dinner? Maybe one of those movies and dinner?" I begin thinking of date ideas.

"I think Mello has good grasp on ideas." He tells me.

"Ok. Then we'll do both." I grin at him.

He is still smiling.

And so later that day I am driving on my motorcycle to go pick him up humming to myself along the way.

This is going to be a great night.

I got the tickets in advance to a popular dinner and a show just to make sure they don't sell out on us. I am almost at his place as he gave me his address. I can't stop grinning away as I continue and I really hope that this goes by well. I arrive at Near's place and I look to the two story place.

Some curtains pulled closed over one of the bigger windows is opened slightly then swishes shut.

I guess that was Near.

He comes out and I gap at how he looks. He swapped out his regular shirt for a t-shirt that is still white and light blue pants that are less baggy than his usual pants with white runners.

I even dressed for the occasion as I am wearing a dark brown vest and tight black pants with dark brown knee high boots.

But he looks amazing.

I turn and pick up my extra helmet handing it to him.

He puts it on then I make sure he can comfortably climb on once I make sure the helmet is secure.

"You look good." I compliment him.

"You too." He responds as I check his seating as he wraps his arms around my waist.

Once I am sure he's on safely I begin driving taking us off to our destination.

The date went well and he even let me hold his hand.

I drive him home after and it was all around a great time.

We promise to go out again.

…..

We've been dating for a month now and it's our first month anniversary.

I'm taking him to my house hoping to watch some movies and such.

Once we arrive to my own two story house I park my bike in the drive way that I have though I have no garage.

I bring the helmets inside as we head inside and I put them on a small end table not far from the door.

We head up to my room after leaving our shoes at the front lobby.

The plan was to watch some movies but Near has other ideas.

He kisses me.

It's not the first time we have kissed as we've kissed many times before.

I kiss back as expected.

We break apart about after a minute.

"Mello please." He says softly in a husky voice.

I wrap my arms around his waist. "Are you sure?" I say catching his hint.

Near nods. "We've been dating for a month and have known each other for years. I trust you."

I nod and lead him over to the bed. I push him down onto the bad as Near seals out lips together.

I never expected what would happen after all this though.
