Chapter 11

Near took Mello roughly and boldly into another kiss as he tried to force his way inside, tangling his fingers in Mello's long golden strands but it ended as quickly as it had started.

Mello violently pushed himself apart from Near. His face red with fury as Near revealed a light blush across his cheeks.

''You idiot!- what if someone was looking?'' Mello quietly panted as he frantically glanced around.

Near leaned back and innocently tilled his head to one side. ''we made a deal''

Mello frowned bitterly knowing that Near was right. He did make a deal. A very stupid deal.

''yeah...but that doesn't mean that...''

''And the deal says that you got to obey Me. or else.'' Near almost sounded smug about the whole thing, like he got some type of obscure pleasure in seeing Mello in this worrisome state.

'' doesn't mean that you own me...'' a pout worked its way over Mello's flustered face. There was nothing Mello could do. Near had won again. Or did he?

''Mello...'' Near quietly sighed

''it's not fair'' Mello growled from his flustered position on the floor. Near slanted his eye's over to the blond.

''how so...you do as I want you to and I won't say a thing, how is that not fair?''

''it just isn't!'' The blond huffed as the fists automatically balled, ready to punch at any given second, but was having a little trouble in shaking off that fluster look on his face to worry about violence.

Near slanted his eyes at Mello, he could see that Mello was being his difficult self again, but Near hadn't quite grasped why Mello hadn't stormed off like he normally would.

''sigh*... fine what do you propose we do''

Mello couldn't help but cringe at the word 'we' in Near sentence; it appeared untasteful in Mello's mouth to utter the word in such a text.

'' to pretend that this whole thing didn't happen'' Mello groaned

''No... Absolutely not''

''come on...you can't say that you actually enjoy doing this''

Near was silent as his gaze drifted over to his rabbit that was lying next to him. He took the animal in his arms and started to stroke the bunny's ears silently. Mello owlishly stared at the childish act as hatred grew inside of him for that rabbit.

''how bout I'll only acquire your assistance on...special occasions''

Mello scrunched his nose up, further imposing his lack of understanding.

''like Christmas and Easter as examples''

'' Fuck no!''

''take it or leave it''

Near knew that he had Mello on a leash. Having the blond obeying Near's orders brought a small smirk to the child's mouth. There was a long silence until an answer was derived from Mello.

''fine'' He silently spat

Mello quickly took to his feet, hastily taking leave; he wanted to get as far away from Near as possible. Near was left alone on the carpet with his beloved toy rabbit in his arms.

Taking advantage of Mello is ...kind of fun
