The idea for Fear of Thunder came from a fanfic I read one time so it's not my original idea. The fanfic title is Stormy Nights written by brokenheartsandtears, the story is basically all about smut but I only took the idea of Near being afraid of thunder from it. The picture I found on Google so I have no idea where it came from originally.
No I don't own Death Note.
Fear of Thunder

"Mello can you bring this up to Near, he hasn't been out of his room all day." Roger had stopped Mello in the hall after dinner. "why don't you get someone else to do it, I have studying to do" Mello responded bitterly and started to walk off. "Mello" he stops and turns back to look at Roger, "the other kids need to study more than you do, plus I've already sent other kids today and you're here." Mello sighed annoyed and grabbed the tray of food Roger was holding. Mello begrudgingly walked up to Near's room while listening to the sound of rain outside. It had been storming all day, once in awhile the thunder become a distraction to him as he studied. As Mello got closer to Near's door he started hearing what sounded like crying. He tried the door handle to find it was locked then started knocking on the door. "Near? Are you ok?" Mello sounded a little worried, it's not everyday you hear crying especially not from this room. Sure kids cry around Whammy's but you don't hear it. All of a sudden the crying sound stopped then the door unlock, he waited outside the door for it to open but it never did. Eventually he opened the door himself and walked in, Near's back was turned to the door and he was playing with his white puzzle. "I heard crying, is something wrong?" Mello asked. "I know nothing of crying, you should get your ears checked" Near responded. Mello scoffed and put the tray on the floor. He went to leave the room when there was a loud clap of thunder, Mello stopped in his tracks when he heard the mixture of thunder and whimpers. He looked back at Near and saw him shaking slightly.
