DISCLAIMER: i DO NOT OWN DEATH NOTE, K?

Near stood. Twirling his hair and waiting in the rain.

Of course he was under an umbrella but he felt small drops once in a while.

Near sighed, rolling his eyes as the sleek black limo pulled up in front of him.

He walked to the back door and opened it carefully. "Hello." he said.

Mello waved slightly. "Get in, Near." he said.

Near sat in the car and closed his umbrella.

"You couldn't have done it before you got in the car?!" Mello snapped.

Near shrugged, "I needed to get in, Mello. Now...to the importance of this meeting. Are you sure that Light Yagami is the one?" he asked, putting one leg on the seat.

Mello grunted at Nears inconsideration. "Absolutely. Matt and I were convinced." he said.

Near rolled his eyes once more, "You and Matt..." he whispered.

Mello whipped his head to Near, "Shut up, you idiot." he snapped.

Near blushed slightly and looked out the window.
