A white haired boy sat on his bed, reading intently while twirling one lock of his bushy hair between his thumb and forefinger. His eyes scanned the pages at a remarkable rate that could only be possibly achieved by some sort of genius prodigy. He was so engrossed in his book that he did not even notice the leather clad, tall boy walk in. Said boy was steaming with anger and upon noticing that the other boy hadn't even bothered to look up, he dropped the contents of what he was carrying on the ground and slammed the door closed.
"There's no need to become upset," the reading boy said without even looking up from the book, "I know you are there."
This caused the other to be even angrier and he spat out, "Keep your damn toys away from my room! I almost tripped on them on my way out."
"That's too bad. I thought I had them strategically placed so that that would not happen."
"You little bastard! Near what the hell, I…" he said and then trailed off, "And why won't you put that damn book down!"
As if to emphasize the point, Near did not look up and continued to stare down at the book. "I find it an interesting book, Mello. It is considered a classic. I mean who has not read Of Mice and Men?" he explained, "I find that I relate many of us to these characters."
"How so?"
"Well, I find that Light Yagami would be most closely related to Curly who is a very annoying and full-of-himself character. Misa Amane would be in closest relation to Curly's wife who is so unimportant and annoying that the author does not even grant her a name."
"And what about us?" Mello asked.
"I find us to be most closely related to the two main characters," Near explained.
"And they are…?"
"I find myself to be in close relation to George who is smart and the brains of any operation. He can work but prefers to have others do his work for him. Hence why he travels with Lennie, the other main character who is closest to you. He is strong and kind, a gentle giant of sorts. He can also be deadly and does not know his own strength."
Mello stared at the boy in shock, unable to comprehend the level of compliments that Near had just spoken. Instead of pondering over what had been said, he turned from the room, muttering, "Yeah yeah, just keep your toys away from me."
Near chuckled slightly after the boy left, continuing to read. Mello did not realize the Lennie was also mentally challenged. He also did not realize that George kills him in the end. "Oh Mello, you are so gullible."

The first one was such a hit I just had to make another. Thanks to all you for reading and reviewing. They were very entertaining to read. A lot of you suggested I write about Macbeth which I will once I actually read it. This one is short but hopefully sweet. Hope you found it at least a bit humorous.
