"Would Mello and Matt like to help me decorate for Christmas?"
The two older boys nodded in agreement. It was December 14th. The day Near always decorated his house for Christmas. It was never much. White lights, a tree with a variety of ornaments, and some large glass presents with white glittery ornaments in them. He never had anyone over for the holiday. It was just him. For presents he normally treated himself to a new book or a long awaited toy. Though this year he hoped it would be different. He wanted to ask Mello and Matt if they wanted to spend the day with him, but he wasn't sure. Maybe they already had plans. Maybe they had other friends they spent the holiday with. Maybe.. they just didn't want to spend it with him.
He stopped thinking about the topic when both the blonde and the ginger came back, each holding two boxes. Matt went back and pushed out a large box that held the tree in it. They opened the tree first. Because Near was short, he normally had to get a chair to stand on when he put the tree together. Thankfully Matt and Mello were taller and they had no trouble. Near had always wanted a real tree, but he wasn't strong enough to get it home.
Most of the ornaments were the typical ball shaped ones in different colors. Nears however, were plain white, silver and a light blue. The accented the tree perfectly and left all three of them smiling when it was complete.
Near made them each a cup of hot chocolate at sat down around the coffee table.
"It looks great." The ginger said, staring around the room with a grin on his face.
The albino nodded, sipping his hot chocolate. "Thank you both for helping me. It is much appreciated."
They both smiled and nodded. Near took a few more sips of his drink then looked up at both of them. "Is Mello or Matt doing anything special for Christmas?"
"Me and Mel normally give each other gifts in the morning but thats all really." Matt said with a small gasp as he burnt his tongue. "Want us to come over?"
Near smiled and nodded nervously. When the blonde agreed to the idea his heart fluttered. This was going to be his first Christmas with someone since his parents died a few years ago. Even thinking of the day made him blush softly. Not only had him and Mello had a long make out session the night before, but now he was going to be spending Christmas with him. Near was finally feeling the glint of happiness he had long forgotten.

It was now almost eleven at night. The day had passed rather quickly. The three boys mostly sat and talked the day away. Matt occasionally flipping open his DS to play a quick race of Mario Kart or gain another level in Pokemon. Other than that there wasn't really anything going on besides laughter. Near had never felt so much emotion before. Even in such little things such as a conversation. Meeting Mello and Matt had really changed him, for the better.
The ginger was currently passed out on Nears couch. His orange goggles around his neck and his arm hanging off the side. His mouth was parted slightly as he breathed softly. Mello laughed softly at the sight of him and threw the blanket that was currently on the floor on him. He stood up and stretched, blonde hair falling off his shoulders and onto his back. Near finished putting the dishes away and walked out to meet the blonde.
"Is Mello staying the night?"
With a grin, the blonde walked up behind him, wrapping his arms around his waist and leaning to his ear. "Do you want me to stay?"
Near shivered slightly as his warm breath tickled his ear. "Yes." He could feel the smirk against his skin.
"I really enjoyed last night.." Mellos fingers rubbed the albinos small hips, making little circles. "Can we do it again?"
The smaller boy could only get a nod out before Mello was dragging him to the bedroom. He shut the door, making a decent bang. Near hoped that Matt wouldn't wake up. His thoughts were soon gone as he sat down on the bed, smiling and blushing, waiting for the blonde to come join him. With a small smirk the blonde did just that. He walked slowly over to him before crawling on the bed, spreading Nears legs enough so he could fit between them. Near wrapped his arms around the older boys neck and pulled him close, pressing his lips to his. Mello kissed back a little harder, just to make his dominance known.
Just like the night before, their simply kissing soon turned into a full blown heated make out session. Near moaned softly, parting his mouth as Mello licked his lip. The blondes hot and wet tongue slid across the top of the smaller boys mouth. It swirled around Nears tongue, eliciting a small whimper. For Mello being the first person Near had ever had any sexual contact with, he was a rather fast learner. He was soon battling for dominance.
"Near.." Mello pulled away, panting softly and moved his mouth down to the smaller boys neck. He sucked and bit, licking at the soon to be bruised area. Near arched his back and tilted his head to the side, giving him better access. Their body heat was overwhelming. Near was panting softly, his face flushed and his eyes closed. Mello pulled away and looked down at the wonder beneath him.
Nears eyes fluttered open, looking up at Mello. "Mello.. we shouldn't.. Matt is.." Before he could finish, the blonde pecked him on the lips.
"I know."
Mello rolled off Near and laid next to him. The albino curled up next to him, swinging a leg over his lap and closed his eyes. He hadn't realized how tired he was until Mello pulled the blanket over them and kissed his forehead.

The creaking sound could be heard in his room. It crept in slowly. Near's eyes fluttered, opening slightly. The noise became louder. He looked around his room, trying to find where it was coming from. He stretched and wrapped the blanket around him when the noise stopped. Near smiled when he felt an arm wrap around his waist. The blonde was sleeping quietly next to him. He sighed in content and closed his eyes again. But he wasn't asleep again when he heard the creaking noise. This time it was closer. Near opened his eyes again and looked at his door. The only thing he could see was the light from the hallway shinning underneath the door.
Then he heard laughter. It was a little girl laughing. Near sat up on his elbows and continued to stare at the door. That's when he saw a shadow and heard the feet running past his room. His eyes widened and a small gasp left his lips.
"Mello... Mello.. wake up.." Near whispered as he shook the blonde.
Mello only grunted in response and rolled over on to his other side. Near shook him again when the creaking started once more.
"Mello.. please wake up.. t-theres someone in the house.."
The blonde opened his eyes at the sound of Nears emotion filled voice. For the weeks they had known each other he had never once heard the smaller boy sound like that. He turned to look up at him.
"What?"
"T-There's someone in the house.."
Before Mello could reply the laughter was heard again. A few seconds later the footsteps outside his room. The blonde sat up and looked at the door. He pushed the blankets off him and turned on the light. Near got out of bed quickly when he saw Mello opening his door.
"I'm coming with you."
Mello opened the door slowly, looking out both ways before letting Near see. He walked to the beginning of the hallway and into the living room. The albino followed close behind. They both turned their heads, facing the noise that was crawling up the hallway. Near began walking towards it but was pushed back a little as Mello walked in front of him.
After a full inspection of the house they both were convinced that no one was there. Mello walked Near back to his room and laid in bed. The blonde fell asleep quickly, his arm wrapped around Near. But the albino stayed awake for a while. This had been the second time he's both seen and heard something strange in a month. He thought maybe it was time to mention something to Mello. At least he knew he wasn't going crazy, the blonde saw it too.
