Me no own death note.

NOW FOR WHAT WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! MELLO HAVING TO SHARE SOME OF HIS GODDAMNED CHOCOLATE!

4- *groans* share your chocolate.

[Mello's POV]

After about a half hour of talking and making out over the table in the diner [much to Jena's amusement], we said goodbye and started to walk back to wammy's.

"It is not raining anymore, Mello. Look at the rainbow." Near said, pointing to the rainbow.

"It's pretty, huh Near."

"Not as pretty as my Mello."

"Damn strait."

Near started to make this cute little sound, kinda high pitched and fluttery and altogether adorable. It took me a while to realize he was laughing.

I smiled and put an arm around his shoulders, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"What?" he asked.

"You laughed." I said, keeping my arm around him.

"Do you like it when I laugh?"

"Yes, I do."

"Then you will have to make me laugh more often."

"I will wont I." I say, tickling his tummy with the hand not around his shoulder. He laughed.

While we walked Near cuddled up to me and put his arms around my waist. My arm "slipped" down so it is now resting on his hip.

We sure got a lot of stares when we walked through the front gates of wammy's.

"Wha-what the f-f-f-fuck?" a 13 year old girl stuttered before she fainted.

"Near and Mello are getting along! Every one take cover! It's a sign of the apocalypse!" an eight year old shouts. The younger kids all run around, laughing and screaming at their imagined doom.

"Hey guys." Matt says, falling into step beside Near without looking up from his beeping game.

"Hello Matt. Are you winning?" Near asked without much interest.

"I always win." He says with a little smirk. "Roger's looking for you guys, by the way."

"What for?"

"How the hell should I know. I heard it from Linda. Just go see the man before I have to actually do something." Matt said, then started to wander around the grounds, amazingly not tripping on any children.

I roll my eyes at his back then continued inside to Roger's.

"Roger!" I shouted, hitting the door to his office with more force than necessary

"Mello. Come in, don't break the door again." He called.

We walked in, Near still hanging onto me and my hand still on his hip.

When the old man saw us, I thought he'd have a stroke. His eyes got all wide and his mouth dropped open.

"N-Near? Is he hurting you?" he asked, his eyes darting to my hand.

"No. I am quite comfortable, Roger. Thank you for your concern."

[Roger's POV]

I suppose I should have seen this coming, what with Mello's sudden interest in leather clothing and longer hair. I should have known he was gay. But Near? And him with Near?

First B, then L, and now Mello and Near?

"well… I wanted to see you because I was informed that Near was not in his bed last night…" I said, looking tiredly at Mello, who was grinning and looking down at Near, who blushed slightly.

"Should I be worried about you two?"

"No, not at all. Near will be safer with me than he would be with even the great L." Mello says, squeezing Near's hip lightly.

"I am confident that my Mello will take excellent care of me." Near added, looking up at 'his' Mello.

"…. All right…. Near, can I talk to Mello alone for a moment?"

"Yes." He said simply, giving Mello a little kiss before walking out of the room.

The difference between the Mello with Near and the Mello without Near was shocking.

"What the fuck do you want?" he asked, no more grin.

"what are you doing with Near?" I asked.

"you old pervert." He groaned.

"I mean, what do you want with him? Are you trying to hurt him or something?"

"I'D NEVER HURT MY NEAR!" he shouts.

"Why do you like him all of a sudden then?"

"It's not all of a sudden! Im just to fucking stubborn to admit anything! You of all people should fucking know that."

"I'm just trying to make sure that Near is in no immediate danger."

"He-….i, I l-love him, Roger…." Mello's tone softened, looking dazedly at the door Near waited behind.

"You…..you what?"

"I love him… he is my first ever love." He says, still staring at the door.

"Your fist?" I ask, skeptical. Mello isn't exactly 'innocent' if you know what I mean.

"I never loved anyone before. I didn't even think I could."

"Have you told him?"

"NO! Of course not! I only just asked him out yesterday." He says, his eyes snapping back to me.

"I don't think Near would care very much about that. He isn't one for traditions."

"You're telling me." He says, rolling his eyes.

"Where did you go today? I assume that is where Near disappeared to as well."

He looks at me suspiciously for a bit before answering.

"A diner a friend owns. In town somewhere." He says vaguely.

"I see. Well, I guess you can go now." He turns quickly to leave. "Mello!"

He looks at me over his shoulder.

"If I hear that Near is hurt in any way because of you, I will make sure you never see him…or Matt, ever again."

"…yeah." He mutters, then rushes out and hugs a surprised Near tightly in the hall.

Maybe this will be good for them….

[mello's POV]

"What do you want to do now, Mello?" Near asked softly, cuddling his face into my chest while I hug him.

"I dunno, you usually stack things or solve puzzles now, right?"

"Yes, I do."

"Do you want to do that?"

"Will you help me?" he asked. I knew he didn't need any help, and I'd probably hinder him more than anything, but I nodded and we walked to Near's room hand in hand.

Now, I had never been in Nears room before, but I really shouldn't have been surprised that it looked like and obsessive compulsive toy store.

He had two or three puzzles and a few of his favorite toys on the wood floor at the foot of his bed. He sat down and pulled a half-done blank puzzle to him. He smiled up at me and I sat down behind him, one leg on either side of him and put an arm loosely around his waist. He leaned back onto me with a little sigh and started to work on his puzzle.

After a while of watching him with my chin on his shoulder, I tugged a chocolate bar out of my pocket.

"Do you always carry chocolate?" Near asked, placing a piece in the puzzle.

"Yeah." I said, taking a bite.

"That is why your kisses taste like chocolate?" he asked, picking up another piece.

"Probably." I said.

Now… it is time for the dreaded rule #4, but strangely, I don't really mind this time.

"Would you like some?" I ask. He nods slightly. I break off a piece and hold it with my teeth. He turns his head and I lean down a little, so the chocolate touched his lips. He opened his mouth and kissed me, taking the chocolate.

No, I don't mind this rule so much anymore.
