It took Mello about 5 minutes after getting back to his room for him to come to the conclusion Near was messing with him. At first he got pissed, but after thinking about it for a little while, he decided Near wasn't going to "win" this.
Mello broke out his secret stash of rum filled chocolates and dug in, thinking hard. It took half of the box, but eventually, Mello came up with what he thought was a brilliant idea.
He decided he was going to beat Near at his own game. He was going to be so~ nice to Near till Near freaked and broke off this little "game". The devious blonde grinned at his genius.

Mello looked up as Matt came in the room. "Matt, Near is acting weirder than usual. What do you know about it?"

Matt blinked at Mello a few times, then shook his head. "I don't know anything. What do you mean, Mells?"

Mello sighed, popping another liquored chocolate into his mouth. "It was majorly weird,Matt. The little shit *smiled* at me. A real smile! I didn't know his face could *do* that!"

Matt cracked up laughing and fell onto his bed, clutching his sides.

Mello glared and threw an empty chocolate wrapper at him. "It's not funny, you ass. He's up to something, I know it."

Mello stood abruptly and weaved back and forth before stomping out the door. As he walked through the hall, mind fogged with rum, he grinned.

Near was building a wall of cards when Mello came storming into his room.

"Mello, how can I help you?" Near asked as his wall collapsed.
Mello stomped over and grabbed Near by the front of his jammies. "How can you help me? How can you help ME?" Mello snarled, his nose almost brushing Nears.

Near swallowed hard, but kept his expression neutral. "Is something wrong, Mello?" Near asked in an even tone.

Mello growled in Nears face, then pulled him forward by the front of his shirt, and mashed their lips together hard. Everything froze for a moment while shock spilled through both of them. Near was just a bit quicker on the uptake and began moving his lips, kissing Mello back.

Mello made a whimpering sound, pushed Near away and ran back to his room.

Matt took one look at his roomate's face and shook his head. "For numbers one and two, you both are idiots, you know."
