A.N.: I made another sad/friendship one-shot thing! Enjoy!

Rated: T


Mello has once again destroyed a perfectly fine robot. How annoyingly childish of him…. Can't he just leave me alone? No, of course not…I'm smart, so of course he's jealous. I don't see why he can't use his jealousy for something more productive than ruining my toys…why not try doing better grades and acting more mature?

That would be productive…plus I wouldn't have to have to worry about my toys getting broken every time I turn my head from them. At this rate I would need three more robots and five more card sets this Christmas.

I try to ignore the knocking at my door, but the person has been knocking off and on for five minutes. I could handle the annoyance if they could handle it. "Let me in," says the gruff voice of Mello on the other side of the door.

And I'm expected to just do as he tells me to? Now, this is humorous. I remain where I am on the window sill; I'm not even going to think about getting up. A moment later the door knob was turned back and forth, but to no avail since the door is locked. Does he think I'm stupid?

That's when a loud noise made me jump. Apparently he thinks that he'll knock the door down with force. He yells as he pounds the door with his fists, "Let me in!" I stand and walk over to the door, and then I unlock it before opening it, "Happy now?"

He glares at me and I stare back as I curl my hair with two of my fingers. "You always think I'm the bully here! I'm not though, it's you, Near! You heartless monster, you're the bully! You always think you're so smart! And you act like you're too good to hang out with others! Haven't you ever used your brain and realized that I'm mean to you because you're mean to me?"

I stop then, thinking over his words. I'm…the bully? How? Why? That's not…I'm not…. "Mello, congratulations for once again assuming something that isn't true. I am smart, and maybe I am too good to 'hang out', as you say, with others, but the reasons I'm always by myself is…none of your business. Sorry if that hurts your fragile feelings."

Mello continues glaring at me, "…Just know that…I'm not the bully here, either." I can't believe what I'm hearing. Does he actually care what I think about him? "You are. You ruin my belongings and you call me mean names."

"I don't want to be the bully, Near!" I look down, "I could be nicer…I'm sorry if I annoy you with my 'lack of feelings'. I do have feelings…I'm just…I can't let people see me insecure." Mello looks down as well, "I know…I'm sorry. I don't like acting soft around people…."

"Then it's all understood." Mello nods, "Good…so…if ever I upset you…just…I don't mean to…." I can't meet his eyes, so I continue looking down, "Same here…"


We had both went our separate ways after that. Every now and then I would show off how smart I can be, and he would act mean towards me. It was understood though. We knew that we both cared, but we could never let the other see us too vulnerable.

And the day came that Mello died….

That was the only time that Mello saw me cry….


Don't ask me how I come up with strange one-shots like this…I don't even know. Too much chocolate milk maybe?! XD
