Disclaimer: I don't own Death Note. Man, crush my dreams.

A.N./ I know On the last chapter it had chapter one too. That was an error on my part. Please forgive me.

Near and Mello sat together in the library. Doing nothing. Absolutely nothing. Mello refused to tell Near a single thing about the project. Not one thing. He apparently wanted to do it all himself. Near scoffed at the idea of Mello doing everything himself. He knew Mello did alot of things by himself it's was just that Mello didn't have the patience to do an entire project by himself. So they sat there in silence. Until Near had enough.

"Will Mello tell me what the project is about now? We are wasting valueble time sitting here while you eat your chocolate." Near's voice held a hint of sarcasm in it. The project was in no way more intresting than Mello but there was school work to be done.

"No." A simple answer. That one worded answer made Near seethe. He hated being left out of the loop. He hated how Mello could sit there and pretend he didn't give a damn about his grade. He hated Mello. No, he was lying to himself again. Near loved Mello. 'Stupid Mello,' Near thought.' If he didn't insist on being so damn stubborn, I could get on with this stupid project.'

"Mello, it would benefeit us both if you decided to tell me what our project is to be." Mello just stared at him and smirked a little. Near was beyond irratated. He never once got irratated at the blonde. But now. Now Near was irratated. He didn't want Mello's grade to go down just because he felt like annoying Near. Mello surely had better things to do with his time.

"Nope. Not until you beg and call me master." Near's eye twitched. If he wanted a good grade he would have to beg. Beg the sadist and call him master. Master. Of all things the blonde could have chosen, it had to be master. Mello was annoying the hell out of him. He could never let it be simple.

"Mellloooo. Please tell me?" Near did his best to work a little whine into his voice. Using a monotone voice all the time made whining a bit difficult.

"What?" Mello asked dumbly. As if he didn't know what. Near now knew what Mello felt everytime he saw him. He never let things go.

"Master, please tell me what we are working on for the project." Near's teeth were clenched. He found it hard to be apathetic around this dumb blonde. Okay, maybe Mello wasn't dumb, but he was annoying.

Mello was just a smiling away when he heard Near. 'Master, please...' That was as far as it went. He heard nothing else. Just master and please. That was enough for Mello. He loved the way Near begged. It was entertaining.

"For you my love. The project is about the human body. You know the anatomy and shit like that." Near stared at him. He couldn't stand cursing. Neither could Rodger, that's why Mello was constantly in trouble. Well that and the fact that he had made the decision to beat little Near up quite frequently. Near still retained some of the bruises from their last meeting. He hated his teacher and loved her at the same time. She purposely set him up to get a beating and gave him the chance to be with Mello. He liked Mello. Mello didn't like him, but he liked Mello.

"What are we to do?" Near asked.

"Hm? Oh, I'm sorry who were you talking to?" Near just stared at him.

"Master, what are we to do?"

"We're going to build a model." Mello smiled. Near liked that smile. He often seen that smile dirrected to Matt but never him. Mello rarely smiled at him unless he had a devious plan.

"Care to explain, master? I couldn't help but notice that you are smiling. What is the project really about, master?" Calling him master was getting easier and easier.

"Oh little Nia. I told you nothing but the truth. But since you asked nicely I will tell you that you will be helping me. Of course not in the way you think. You will be helping with the project and something else. Wanna guess what?" Near shivered. He hated guessing what Master was planning. No, wait, not master. Mello. MELLO. NOT MASTER. MELLO. GET IT RIGHT YOU STUPID ALBINO. Near was screaming his monotone voice in his head. Trying to keep from calling him master.

"What is it, master?" Shoot. He did it again. Master, MELLO, kept smiling. He was obviously enjoying every minute of this.

"Oh nothing much. You just have to come to my room after midnight every night..." Master trailed off. He looked as though he wanted to add something. Not like I care. Okay, maybe I do. I am not coming to his room after midnight. I would be down right stupid if I went to my rival's room after midnight with no one else there. It's like the death sentence. I mean, especially with the said rival having violent tendencies. Not the most genius idea.

"Master, that would be foolish of me." Near couldn't help but point this out. He did not want to be anywhere near Master when no one else was around.

"Near," Mello grabbed Near's shirt and yanked him towards himself," You are going to ome to my room after midnight. I don't want to hear no. If you're still persistent on saying no, I will make you agree. Do you understand?" Near gulped. He was going to be killed.

"Y-yes, Master..." Near sounded like an idiot stuttering. Mello was prepared to laugh at the boy but something caught his eye. Near was scared. He usually didn't show his emotions. But now, they were in his eyes. There was total fear in his eyes. Mello loved it. It was extasy seeing Near scared and stuttering. No other forms of fear present. He took sheer joy in knowing he caused this. He loved it.

"Now, there's a good boy. Maybe I'll give you a little treat tonight." Mello smirked as Near jumped. Near just wanted to get away. He hated being in such close premeses and loved it too. He was confused and scared. He had no idea what the blonde was thinkng except probably he needed more chocolate. He just needed out of the library. Then, he understood he was trapped. He couldn't reach the handle. He couldn't get out without Master.

"Yo, Near!" Matt. Near turned to look at the redish brown haired teen.

"Matt." Matt just gave him a wave that told him to come closer.

"Did Matt need something?" Near questioned. He didn't like the teen. He got to hang out with Master more than he did.

"I was just noticing that you were too short to open the door. Need some help?" Near sighed. As much as he hated help from Matt, he needed the door open lest he be with Master all day.

"Yes, I would appreciate that. Thank you." Matt headed over and unlocked the door for the little albino. Near scampered off as soon as the door was open. He couldn't stand to with the blonde and his infuriating best friend any longer. He may like Master, but everything had it's limits. He was lying to himself. He knew he liked Mello way too much. He even took to calling him Master in his head.

Near scampered to his room. Tiny broom closet that it was, it was his alone. He liked it better that way. He knew he would have to go to Master's room at midnight. He had no choice. Well, he did, but it wasn't one he wanted. Stupid blonde. Near was tired. Today had been an ordeal. He needed a rest. Near lay his little body down on his little bed and fell fast asleep. All the while, Mello was contemplating what to do the with the boy when he reached his room tonight.

A.N./ I just finished drawing Kaito from Fairy Cube. Kaori Yuki is amazing. I recomend all of her works. They're a good read. Then, you can write some fanfiction about them. She needs more fanfiction for being so amazing. I am actually planning on writing some but, for now I will stick with Death Note. Ludwig Revolution. Or Ludwig Kakumei. You can find it both ways.
