ABC Building Blocks for Near and Mello

by Dreaming-Of-A-Nightmare

Due to a poll of mine, I have to write a series of drabbles for this pairing. Which is easy, since there is so much to play with, ne? Besides wooden blocks, that is. Rated M for some drabble content. .:. A is for Addicted. B is for Barter. C is for Cage.

25. Yet

Y – Yet

They are not a couple, not yet.

So they have kissed. Big deal! So what? People kiss all the time. Relatives, friends, families, foreigners in greeting. Anybody can kiss. That doesn't make them a couple.

So they have held hands. Big whoop! Who cares? People hold hands all the time. Relatives, friends, young children. Anybody can gold hands. That doesn't make them a couple.

So they have slept in the same bed a few times. Big scandal! Whatever, right? People fall asleep together all the time. Relatives, friends, students during classes. Anybody can doze off in the same place. That doesn't make them a couple.

So they have rumors spread about them. Ooh, scary! Such a scoop, huh? Plenty of people get rumors made up about them. Relatives, friends, colleagues, families, middle and high school students. That doesn't make them a couple, especially not if people create the lie themselves.

So they have had sex. Wow, exciting! Totally caught now, aren't they? But tons of people have sex, and for different reasons. Prostitutes, friends (drunk or not), students, cheating spouses, colleagues, high school and college students. Anybody can have sex with somebody else, even if it's the wrong situation. That doesn't make them a couple.

When they say 'I love you,' or when they actually go out on a date… then they will be a couple.

Presently, however, Mello and Near are not a couple, despite the evidence against them.

They aren't one yet, anyway. Not yet.
