Chapter 10:The Impossible

Near's POV

"You may come in." I said.

"Uh. Hey Near."

I turned my head around.

Mello?

How would he know where my room would be?

"Is there a reason why you entered my bedroom?"

He scratched his head. "I've been thinking that if my best friend and your sister is going to date,then we should get along."

I raised an eyebrow. "Are you attempting to apologize?"

He sighed. "Anything to make us feel closer."

"It is your choice."

"I'm sorry about mistreating you Near. I don't know. I just-I really don't know."

"I really don't know either. I haven't mistreated you. Why have you been mistreating me?" I was curious. I've always been.

"I-I was-" He sighed. "I guess I was,am jealous."

"Jealous? Why would you be jealous?"

"Because you're smart. And don't show your emotions. You also are first in line as L." The last part,he said quietly.

"I am the one whom is jealous in this room. You have many friends,whereas,I have none."

"But you're popular Near. Everyone knows you."

"As the next L. Not as Near."

"Have you ever tried thinking of being,friendly?"

"Yes. But,I don't want one whom may feel like hugging me."

"I thought your sister hugs you."

"She does. But I don't approve of it."

"Funny thing. I'm not that kind of person too."

Mello looked sincere.

"I am jealous. I've always been second. Whatever I do,you do better. Which makes me feel useless."

"Mello. Think about how Matt feels. Or the others in the orphanage. We barely know what place they're in."

He looked down at the floor for a moment. Analyzing it. "I'm sorry Near."

I fought the urge to smile. "I accept your apology."

Mello smiled. No,more like a grin. "Really?"

I didn't hesitate. I nodded. "Really."

He rubbed the back of his neck,wondering what to do next.

I sighed inwardly,hoping he'd be okay with this. Hoping I'd be okay with this. "Do you want a..."

"A what?"

I winced as I said the next words. "A hug."

His eyes widened,hopefully not in fear. "Are you serious?"

I nodded. "Hurry before I change my mind."

He slowly walked over to me.

The next part confused both of us,where do we wrap our arms?

We (awkwardly) wrapped our arms around each other's shoulders.

After only about 2 seconds,we let each other go.

"We should go to bed." I said.

Mello nodded. "Okay. Night Near."

"Night." I responded.

He left the room,leaving me alone with my thoughts.

"I wonder what Auri's doing right now."

I turned around and continued to put the domino's up.

"58,59,60."

'Auri... If mother and father were here,would they be proud of us? Most importantly,you?'

I sighed. "She might not be intelligent,but she is very talented. I can assure anyone that."

"She wasn't able to stay with us." Mother said.

"Why?" I asked (at 6 years old).

She bit her lip,eyes tearing up. "It isn't very simple honey. She just doesn't belong with us."

"That doesn't make sense,mother. She has your genes,so she certainly belongs with us." I responded.

Her tears started to release and pulled me into a hug. "One day,you'll understand. But you won't understand right now,no matter how smart you are." She kissed the top of my forehead. "We're done with this topic for now."

"But mother-"

She gave me a stern look. "I said we're done with this topic."

'Mother. I still don't understand what you said when I was younger. Or maybe,I don't believe it.'

I shook my head. "It isn't possible. That can't be the reason she got disowned."

That was short,but no one's been reading my stories...

And I need to work on Near's POV.

Random fact! Did you know the numbers 1-999 don't have the letter 'a' in them?

Please review!

Au revoir~!
