A/N: Oh. My. GOSH! I've posted three things today. I am so proud of myself :D
So this is a drabble about Mello. Poor, poor Mello. I love him :)
He was an outcast. He was a nobody. He was a failure. Compared to Near, what could he possibly hope to achieve? Compared to Near, he was a nobody, and deep down he knew that could never change, no matter how often he denied it. Near was simply better than he was, and no matter what he tried, no matter what he did, he couldn't prove that wrong.
Screw the fact that he was one of two possible successors for his mentor. Screw the fact that he was in the top three of all the students at Wammy's house. Screw the fact that he had gotten this far all on his own. It wasn't enough. It would never be enough. And he would never be good enough to be on the top. No matter what he did, no matter how hard he tried, he was always stuck being second best.
And that was what hurt the most.
A/N: Hope you liked this. Please PLEASE review. No flames please, but critisizm is good.
