If you didn't read the summary correctly, I will now remind you that this is a companion story to my other story. That story is called 'Near's kisses.' Defghgjlo- my cat just walked across the key board, so I'll leave his message for you. Anyways, I suggest you read my other story before you read this one. I'll be referencing that story frequently. Disclaimer: I do not own Death note, in this world at least. THIS STORY CONTAINS YAOI, MEANING BOYXBOY.

Something was off. Mello was hiding something from me. I was sure about it. He had ordered me not to go anywhere near his room today, at least not until 5. He claimed he was going to study for today, but I knew his story was false. There was no test coming up around that time and we had nothing to study. We were having 'sex Ed' that week. If Mello was studying anything, it had to be sex. Most of the time sex involved another person. I was fairly confident he was faithful, so I knew he wasn't having sex. Unless it was with L, who was nowhere to be found at that moment. I was 80 percent sure that L wasn't interested in Mello, although I was jealous of L being able to spend a whole week with my lover. (If you do not understand any of this, I suggest you read Near's kisses).

I was playing with my favorite robot when I heard my cell phone buzz. I really didn't like having one but Matt had insisted on buying one for me. When he dragged me from the comfort of the Whammy house to go to the store, I was confused. I was even more so when Matt proclaimed he was getting me a cell phone. I picked up my new phone. I assumed someone was calling me so I held up to my ear.

"Hello?" There was no answer. I looked at the phone suspiciously. I pressed the button with the green phone on it and then held it up to my ear again. "Hello?" Still no answer. I frowned and looked at the phone again. I figured that the buzz probably meant a text message. I was right; Mello had sent me a message. I thumbed the enter button and read his message. You can come over now. I looked at the clock. It was only 2 o'clock. I wondered silently about what was going on. I stood up, leaving my toys strewn across the floor. I was too curious about what was going on to care about my messy room. I walked into the hallway and headed to Mello's room. When I finally reached the door my head was clouded with questions. What is going on behind this door? Is Mello going to break up with me? I wasn't so worried about the latter, but I was increasingly interested with the other. I took a deep breath and reached for the door. I slowly opened it. Well that was anti-climactic. All the lights were off in his room. It was also dead silent. I sighed. Does Mello think this is some kind of joke? I frowned and turned on the lights. I frowned again, but not because of the absence of Mello. Mello was there. But so was Emily (refer to Near's kisses) and Matt. It was pleasant to see them, don't get wrong. I just was creeped out by the smiles on their faces.

I turned off the lights and left the room. (dfghjklifnreiuwbg(deeeeeeeeeeeeeeefr]m[666666666666 , my cat, says hi).

"Where the hell are you going?" Mello sounded annoyed.

"I saw something creepy," I flicked the lights back on.

"Do you know what today is?" Emily stood up.

"Sunday," I really didn't know what was going on.

"That's true, but it isn't the answer we're looking for," Matt smiled.

I looked around the room. It was decorated with streamers and balloons. I connected the dots and then came to the conclusion.

"Is it someone's birthday?" I twirled my hair between my thumb and pointer finger.

Matt gave us one of his signature face palms. "All this time I thought Near was the smartest of us all," He put down his hand.

"It's your birthday!" Emily gave me another creepy smile.

"Is it? I didn't notice." I walked further into the room.

"Don't act so excited," sarcasm sneaked its way into Mello's words.

"No really. I am surprised; I just wish you guys told me." I smiled.

"Near, do you know what a surprise party is?" Matt looked me in the eyes. Emily giggled.

"I wasn't aware this was a surprise party," I tried to defend myself. I only found myself deeper.

This time Mello was joining in on the face palming.

"Anyways, I found out from L that you've never had a proper birthday. So this past week all four of us have been planning. We really didn't know what you wanted, besides toys. Plus the fact that we had no idea what kind of party you would favor." Mello stood up and walked over to me. "We decided to not go so crazy." He hugged me tightly. "L will be back soon. He's picking up another cake."

Another cake? I really didn't want to know what happened to the first one. Mello ushered me to the table and pulled a chair out for me. Soon after L came into the room.

"Put the cake on the table. I want to check it." Mello frowned.

L smiled nervously. He walked over to the table and placed the cake down, along with a pink bag. I assumed the bag was a present for me.

"L!" Mello sounded angry. "Why is there a finger imprint in the icing?"

"They misspelled Near. They put an 'I' in it." L answered calmly. "So I fixed it, it was easy to do it."

Emily giggled and Mello gave l a glare. Just as Mello opened his mouth Matt stood up.

"Do you like your present, Near?" Matt interjected quickly.

I assumed the phone was my present. "I like it but it might take me a while to get used to it." I looked at him. "Thank you."

"Emily and I split the cost." Matt smiled.

"Thank you Emily,"

"Open mine." L gestured towards the pink bag.

I nodded and pulled it over to me. I dug my hand right into it, not wasting time. I felt two things in the bag. I pulled out the first thing. It was a menu for a dessert shop L visited frequently. Really? Despite my thoughts, I still smiled. I then proceeded to pull out the next thing. I was very content with that gift. It was a teddy bear. On the chest of the bear it read: Near. I gave into a real smile and hugged the bear.

"Thank you L!" I really meant it.

"No problem. I recommend the number 6." I knew L was referring to the menu.

"My turn!" I picked up a hint of jealousy in Mello's voice.

I smirked to myself for a split second. I stopped when another bag was placed in front of me. I smiled at Mello and then peered inside the bag. My cheeks went red. The whole thing was filled with chocolate kisses. (Please refer to the first chapter of Near's kisses if you do not understand why Near would ever want these) I pulled one out and chucked it at Mello. He caught it and pulled it out of the wrapper. He made sure to eat it slowly. My cheeks went a shade darker.

"I don't even want to know." Matt's comment attracted Mello's attention. And then he told them the story.

"Well that was a story I didn't want to hear." Matt commented again.

"At least it wasn't perverted," L took one of the kisses and proceeded to eat it.

"Even if it wasn't perverted, I really don't want to know how my best friend came out of the closet." Matt looked at Mello. "I really don't understand you."

Mello smiled "You don't need too."

The next hour consisted of talks about the past and the story of what happened to the first cake. Then L, Matt, and Emily left. Mello and I were left alone in the room. We stared at each other for a bit, not knowing what to do.

"So…." I was the first one to say anything. I was playing with my hair again.

"This feels like one of those cliché moments where I say 'shut and kiss me.'" He took my hand away from me hair and leaned closer. "Shut up and kiss me," He smiled gently before pressing his lips against mine.

Like always, it felt amazing. A mere kiss made me shudder with pleasure. A mere kiss made me forget about everything. His lips were the dominating pair. He controlled the way I tilted my head and when I was to open my mouth to give his tongue access. His tongue. It felt so foreign yet so good at the same time. It made me feel weird. It made me feel like it wasn't enough. I knew what I wanted though, but knowing what I wanted didn't make it okay. But the pleasure did. Surprisingly, I was the one to stop the kiss. I had to breathe. I also had to say this:

"Mello, I think I'm heat."

A.N. - Noooooooooooo! I'm out of time. I can't write anymore! Tomorrow the new chapter will be up. Hopefully it will be longer. I want to remind you guys for like the fiftieth time that this is a companion to Near's kisses. I made a lot of references to it in this story, I recommend you guys reading it to get the full effect of the story. Anyways, please review. I like constructive criticism.
