Notes: Sorry Near-lovers. This chapter is really short and rushed. My word count says it's only 235 words. I like Near too but Mello is meant to hate him. And Matt, well, he pretty much just does whatever Mel tells him to.

GUNPOINT:

Mello came home from the SPK after seeing Near in a surprisingly good mood. He explained to me what happened; he had Hal Linder at gunpoint, she took him to Near, Near told him the new L is Kira, he told Near ___________, it's a race to find Kira first.

"Wow. L is Kira, which means there's a smaller chance of us being able to get him. Imagine the security he has," I said, lighting a cigarette.

Mello's phone rang and he answered quickly.

"Near," he told me, looking surprised. "What do you want, Near? ...What? How did you … Fuck off, you son of a bitch." Mello threw his phone at the wall.

"Shit Mel. What happened?"

"That bastard just asked me how you are."

"And…?" I was puzzled. "Wait, how'd he know?"

"I don't know. But then he asked me if I was enjoying the sex." Mello was obviously pissed off.

"That son of a bitch. What the fuck is his problem? How the fuck does he know?"

"I'm going to kill him." Mello sounded certain. He looked as though he might throw something else.

"You finally beat him at something," I murmured.

"What?"

"As if he's had sex or even kissed anyone. That loser will probably die a virgin." I put my cigarette out.

Mello smiled at that. "Speaking of sex, Mattie…"

I practically jumped onto his lap and started kissing him.
