VISITS FROM DEATHLY CHARM

~x~

March, 2008

It was a whole new world, full of many possibilities, full of things to do, but there were only two people in this world - two people held with the responsibility to find these promises.

Altogether they were in a big scene that sent ripple after ripple. It was a little boy, and a woman, lost in their own worlds of one, living with the people that didn't exist. All that mattered was them, making a new chain reaction after another.

And now a new universe was made. That same woman had entered the grocery store, ready to by an endless list of groceries for her family. It was going all according to plan to the little boy. He'd make his attack soon.

The woman, humming and shopping, was oblivious to any attack. Why would she have to worry? It was a natural day and life seemed to be up and running.

Not for the orphaned boy who stood behind an alley and glared at the woman who left the shop, struggling with bags.

He walked up to her, offered to help her for food. A nice lady like her wouldn't pass up help especially if she was giving it back.

But that's apparently all a bright woman needed to fall for. The boy ran with the new found food. He didn't care about her yelling or those invisible turning up police. He ran; the weight of the bags was nothing but encouragement.

There was adrenaline, speed, blank images of scenery and - a knock sounded from the door, waking Near from his trance. He frowned.

Once out of it, the image wasn't the same.

He sighed and put his Lego world away as he got up and opened the door.

"Hey." A nonchalant voice greeted. Near simply nodded and went to play with his robot and planes, letting a regular air flow between Matt and him.

As soon as Near had gotten his toy robot, Matt visited him; just for the heck of it, it seemed. Near never cared though, as long as there was distance, silence (even if he could ignore voices and sound) and things for him to do and block out the world, he was fine.

Matt never did anything, or spoke much except from little small talk that was limited to nods or little shakes of the head. It was like time went by just for them.

Near still had his weird dreams though. He could never explain why they still occurred or what they were trying to tell him. He's been able to decipher things all his life, so this was suddenly unnaturally complicated. It felt weird because he knew he should know something by now.

And to Near's frustration, the Rubik's Cube wouldn't budge anymore. He tried to look for details, searched for hints in the dreams, but nothing that came up in them. And now the peace was fading. Near was falling into darkness faster… like before.

Before he got his toys.

It's like he needed another plaything to stop himself from being killed in his sleep and in reality. It was tearing Near apart, mostly because it was a case that personally involved him. But that's not what set him over the edge - Near's been in worse and couldn't crack even if he was tortured – what got him was that it wasn't real.

Yet it was.

See? There's an outside voice messing with him and him only. He doesn't know who, what or why that is but someone was trying to disorientate him.

And he wanted to know why.

"You okay?" Near snapped out of another trance. It must've been noticeable because he felt his face muscles relaxing.

A simple nod. This time he was grateful Matt butted in. "You, sure…?" The same uncaring voice. Near nodded, Matt was probably done probing.

Near got up and went to his toy filled chest. And then he noticed the toy robot he hid away on New Years, wedged between his drawer and the wall.

Not much of a hiding space, but he forgot about it, right?

He huffed and walked to the corner, pulling the toy back. It took a while though.

Was he really that annoyed?

Near finally pulled it out, his blood rushing back to its place in his hands as he lost grip. The light sounds of Matt's game boy continued to fill the room.

And he continued to ignore it.

Near looked at the figure with a dazed stare. He never actually paid any attention to the details considering he only touched it and gazed at it in the dark.

And now it looked… weird, you can say.

It was a green skeleton in a space ranger's suit. The chest of the 'suit' said POLICE. And of course, there was a bubble helmet. Nears guess was correct as he lifted the little plastic head piece; the green skull exposed. It wasn't particularly interesting –as far at the Rubik's Cube got- nor was it boring.

Just a toy.

But removing and replacing the little helmet seemed like it would be some type of fun, so why not?

Near went to his chest, dropped in the new addition, and rummaged through the box. It didn't look like there would be anything to do for the rest of the day. It was just a Saturday and Near just did... Near things. Consequently, Matt being here had him subconsciously alert, always looking for noises that aren't supposed to be made. He was just paranoid – or not. It was those damn dreams, the attacker, and the savior.

No, he wouldn't interrogate Matt. What type of detective doesn't look for strict or manageable clues before pouncing on the suspect? Near couldn't find valuable details if he could, Matt was hard to break. Even if he may as well be easy to crack. And there's no way Matt would hear Near. He was being self-conscience, yes, but so what? He had his reasons.

Near gazed at his drawer, erasing Matt's image to just let the drawer appeared. Now he was anxious.

Maybe he should test out the Cube again… No! He could hold on longer, but… come on! That thing would have Near out for hours. But that excitement had to wait, right?

"Am I that good looking you gotta stare?" Near froze then narrowed his eyes. Matt occasionally did this too. It was twice as insulting and teasing because he never looked up from his game and sounded like here didn't care.

But Near caught his smirks.

Near turned around and shut his chest with half effort, half frustration and walked to the foot of his bed where he sat with his white "L" puzzle and solved then unsolved it. A few more minutes passed and soon the sounds emanating from the gamers direction ceased.

Near didn't leave his puzzle but nodded when Matt said a detached "see ya" and got up. Near stared at Matt when his back was to him - his eyes never left the brown headed boys image until it disappeared outside his door.

Matt's been the same as usual, doing Matt things. There was nothing to expect right about now. The nightly dreams and daily attacks occurred as usual. It was like Matt was just some danger force field without even realizing it!

Near has never felt so agitated before. He couldn't ignore Matt if he wanted to, and if he didn't try it was like Matt's existence was irking him; just being there and not doing anything… to him. Infatuation? Desperation? Attention seeking? Heck no! The guy is strange, basically; one of those people who somehow find a way into the picture with a hidden reason. All in all, Near just had to stay back and observe.

Because Matt was going to tell him what's going on.

A/N: When I saw the music video for Heart Attack by Demi, you guys know what couple I thought about?

Mumbling: Well first I had a daydream of Matt asking Near something… (idk I only saw Near mostly) and Near let out a dry chuckle saying: I think I'd have a heart attack. It was dark and stuff I don't know where they were but if someone wants to write a story about this idea, ask me for it so I can give it and owner.

As I was saying: The couple was a female Matt and Mello. Now that I think about it, fem Mello and Matt is better.

Crazy, right?

I don't particularly… like… this pairing (that's my opinion!) and so I'm not going out of my way to write about them. There was a one-time thing for one of my multi-one shot stories.

That's it.

So if someone else wants this idea, ask for it!

BTW: Some of these chapters (including this) can be seen as fillers. That's why it's painfully short. Sorry, I'll bend them to make them longer! Promise!

Reviews make my heart beat, favs make my blood pump in sync and alerts give me adrenaline. GIVE ME ALL!

And thank you, those who have stayed with me!

Reikan Out~

I'm putting my defenses up, 'cause I don't wanna fall in love. If I ever did that, I think I'd have a heart attack!

I just LOVE this song. But I still have my all time favorites.
