Chapter ten:

Mello groans slightly as he begins to awaken. He blinks his eyes open then almost jolts up stopping when his headache reminds him it's there. He has found himself laying on top of Near who isn't awake yet. He glances around and finds that they are in a room instead of a cell.

The only window is barred on the outside of the glass so they can open the window but can't escape.

The room is more like a room even with carpeted ground though the door in and out doesn't have any door knob on their side.

There is also a bathroom though it has no door there is what he can see is a shower.

Mello climbs off Near finding the bed to be just a little smaller than the one before though not by much.

Near begins to awaken just before Mello can head to the bathroom to try to take care of his problem.

Mello looks to Near as he awakens. "Seems they moved us."

Near blinks and glances around only to sit up but pauses for a few moments with a headache.

Mello gets up and forces himself to head over to the window. He looks outside but sees that they are on either the second or third story up as well as just open country side with no one in sight for miles.

Near gets up and peeks at the bathroom finding the shower slash bath, a toilet and a sink. "Mello." He says. "I think I know what they plan to do with us."

Mello turns to Near. "What."

Near turns to him. "I think they want us to breed."

Mello freezes. "What the fuck!" He curses then tries to relax by trying to reason with himself. "I doubt it. After all it would be idiotic since we are both guys." He points out out-loud.

Near raises a hand to twirl his hair. "Actually Mello there is a gene that allows some males to get pregnant and I happen to carry that gene."

Mello blinks at this. "Well fucking hell. Why the fuck are they going through so much work just to try to make us make you pregnant."

Near glances away silent.

Mello blinks. "Near?"

"They might be using us for some black market or something. They are obviously very patient." Near points out still looking away.

Mello hums in thought, his problem almost forgotten. "Maybe." He responds then he heads towards the bathroom. "Well whatever it is at least we finally get an actual bathroom."

Near nods then heads over to the window glancing outside.

Mello groans finding no door.

But then a thought crosses his mind.

There's probably no cameras here right?

He glances back to Near who is looking outside. His mind still a little foggy with need. He shakes his head and turns away.

No. He can't just use Near for his own needs.

It wouldn't be fair to the other.

He slightly glances around then notes the shower curtain as well as some towels in a corner.

Probably placed there as there is no counter on the sink.

He decides to have a cold shower to get rid of his desire for now. He begins to undressing.

Near turns then blushes softly only to turn away when he notices Mello undressing. He may love Mello but he still has decency towards other humans.

Mello feels partly glad for the shower curtain as he turns on the water and steps in. He shivers as the cold spray washes over his body.

Near turns around once he hears the water going. He glances down wondering what he should do in the meantime. He ends up heading towards the door and pushing it gently but it doesn't even budge so he looks for a way to pull on it but there is no way to do so. He turns and moves away from the door. He heads back to the bed and sits down. He hasn't noticed any food so he wonders if there wasn't enough time when moving them from location a to location b or maybe they want to allow the two to settle in first or something.

Mello starts to feel better as the cool water eases his desire for now. He waits a few moments longer to make sure he's good before shutting off the water. He steps out only to head over to the towels picking one up only to wrap it around himself to dry off.

Once done he puts on his pants then grabs his shirt only to head into the main room.

Near looks over as Mello walks into the room. "Feel better?"

"Mhm." Mello nods.

"That's good." Near responds.

….

"How's it going?" Another person enters the surveillance room.

"We just moved two to another room." One reports. "Waiting to let them settle today before we start trying to get the desired results."

"The world will benefit through this." The new person says. "Good work."

…

Mello slips on his shirt and Near starts to twirl his hair.

There is a few moments of silence then Near gets up only to head to take a shower himself.

Mello settles to sit on the bed then he flops onto his back. He isn't sure how much longer he can resist Near. He has always wanted him but never truly understood why so now that they've had to be around each other so close all the time it's getting harder for him to hide his feelings. He begins to wonder how Near feels about all of this. He hears the water running and glances to the bathroom in slight thought. He comes to the conclusion that he should talk to Near about this when he gets out. He turns away from the shower to glance to the window while he stays laying there on the bed. He waits until Near comes out then pauses knowing that Near will need a few moments to get dressed. He can't help a glance though and his mouth waters at the sight of Near naked even if the other is not facing him as well as standing in a spot where Mello can't really see much of Near. He quickly turns away blushing before he gets caught.

Near walks into the room a few moments later and Mello turns back to Near.

"Near." Mello speaks and Near glances to him. "What are your thoughts?" He asks. "You know on everything."

Near pauses for a moment possibly in thought then he turns to Mello. "Well to be honest I kind of think of the people doing to be a little sick though I have a feeling that if they believe that we are about have sex they will turn off the cameras for a little bit but I never disliked you Mello." He informs Mello.

Mello smiles then he gets up. He heads over to Near and wraps his arms around the other. "You know I never actually hated you. I was confused about my feelings when I first encountered them but I like you Near a lot."

Near smiles and leans into Mello. "I like Mello a lot as well." He responds.

Mello smiles then leans down sealing his lips over the other.

…..

One of the ones watching the cameras grin. "Guess things will play out much easier than we ever thought." He says mostly to himself.
