Within My True Love's Death Note: Pieces of the Note
Near X Rachel
Author's Note: This is the story about Near. This is ONE of my favoritesss. In this one, I tried using Near's lack of socialness to make a story. I think it turned out cute…might be a little OOC but not A LOT…just a smidge. Also- Near is 16 despite what he is in the manga..he looks so young to me…so I aged him down a bit.. Anyways thanks for the reviews! Keep reading! Now- On with the fiction! :3
Ever since the first day her grandfather had come to Wammy's House to visit his old friend Roger, Near had felt that little 'butterfly' in his stomach. What did that mean? He didn't know...but he knew somehow, it had something to do with Rachel White. Rachel would often accompany her grandfather on his trips to Winchester, from his home in London to visit Wammy's. While Rachel's grandfather talked, the innocent blonde would wander the house, meeting all the kids. The first one she met was the quiet one- and that was Near. She would solve puzzles with him, and would play with him and his toys. She would also let him know how she didn't go outside with other kids either, and only left with her grandfather. They were mere 8 year-olds then…
Now, Near was 16 years old, and he would be seeing her again. He was working on a mass murder case with his fellow SPK members; and as fate would have it….Rachel was found as a useful source of information. Near picked up his dice from the table in front of him, and began towering them to form an 'R'. Rachel had been on his mind all day. A man with black hair, whom Near referred to as "Gevanni" opened his office door. "Near…Miss White is here." He said letting the girl step through the door. Near nodded, and Gevanni left, closing the door behind him.
Near gazed at the young blonde in front of him. She had definetly grown, and somehow- she appeared different in his eyes. Near twirled his hair between his fingers as he looked over her 'features'. Truthfully…he didn't know why he was doing this. He had never observed her this way before…and definetly not this way back at the orphanage. He just couldn't comprehend it. Accompanying his eyes, he seemed to have to shift in his seat. Now, to top it all off- Near's pants were becoming quite uncomfortable. For the rest of the meeting, Near had to pull himself together. He ended up telling her she would be called upon again, so to expect to see him again.
"Alright. Just call me when you need me.." she replied smiling. After she left- Oh how that response sent Near's mind reeling into places he didn't know he could think of. He decided he finally needed an explanation. A few moments later, he called Rester, and explained his situation. Rester laughed quietly for a bit before clearing his throat. "Near…" he began. "Yes? Do you know what's happening to me?" Near questioned immediately. Rester held in another laugh. "Near…I believe you are going through is called puberty..."
