Mello x Near 14

Mello sat in a chair looking at the camera footage of the murders that Near committed while he wasn't himself. L looked up the killer and trying to find his background. "I found something…" Mello said and L looked over at the screen and Mello played it back for him, it was afterwards and Near was in the cell. He started talking to someone. "Do you have the audio?" He asked. "Yes." Mello said and he got the audio on and it played the sound and they both listened. "Zoom in on the door, he is staying out of the light but if we can get the tiniest hint it helps us." He told him and Mello zoomed in and enlarged the picture and both of them looked closer at the picture and they saw he had a hood on, the TV was HD so they didn't need to worry about a crappy picture and there was hair sticking out and they looked closer and L made a hmmm noise while studying the picture. "It seems they have black hair… But that could be anyone in Japan, or the world we need more. Could it be that it is someone who works here?" L asked. "But the killer has been at this for a while how would they have a job if the killings were in Japan?" He asked. "You have a point but I want to see a picture of the whole staff for the last six months." He told Mello and he nodded as he started to get them and sent the file to L.

. . .

Mello sat in a chair next to L and Near in handcuffs, he was dirty and Mello looked over at him and smiled softly and he looked back at him giving him a blank look and in his eyes but he knew that was okay. Near sat down at the table and L looked down and over at him. "Hello Near; I never pictured myself standing up for one of my succors." He commented in a monotone voice and Near didn't reply.

The judge called the private court to order and Mello had his feet kicked up on the table with his arms on his stomach and chocolate hanging from him mouth. Matt was there with pictures ready on his camera for Mello in the front row eyeing everyone in the room. He had his Gameboy but the guards took it from him and told him he could pick it up after court.

L stood up first hands in his pockets and walked slowly to the center of the room and faced the jury who looked mean and indifferent. "One of my succors is sitting in a chair that he shouldn't be." He started off and Mello stared at him with bored eyes and bit a chunk off of the chocolate. "But he is, he was controlled by the killer than has been around this area for about a year now and he has killed people under that control." He agreed. "But was it truly him if he was under control?" He asked the jury and then the judge. "I say no, he wasn't in the state of mind to be himself, and that he shouldn't be in jail or sentence to death." Near watched L and he was just watching him with a bored look on his face as on the inside he was wondering what would happen. Mello looked over at Near and he just nodded at him and told him it would be fine quiet.

The case was long and drawn out and Near was called to the stand, Mello and other witnesses and all questioned and Mello thought they were doing good. It was the closing statements and Mello stood up this time. He walked out into the middle of the room and looked at the jury frowning before he bit into some chocolate. "Why would I waste my time with this whole thing if I don't even like Near." He said not wanting everyone to know that he was in love with Near. "He was under someone else control and that is that, he is a trusted member of the Wammy house and he has been for all his time here. Why would he go off and kill people? It is against his mind set." He said and he sighed. "He would never do that on his own free will." He said and walked back to his seat and the judge asked if that was it and Mello nodded and the other side did as well trying to get Near in jail. Near hadn't said one word the whole trial but when he was up on the stand and he stood up from his seat and sighed. "I do have something to say." Near said calmly and looked back at Mello and his face still blank but there was something in his eyes and a the door opened and a man came walking down to the door blocking off the seating area to the court. "Go on Near." He smirked and Mello looked behind him and the chocolate in his mouth dropped to the floor and people were gasping all around and L was looking up and his eyes widen and a thumb in his mouth in amazement. "What? Why?" Mello asked and he looked back at Near and Near looked at the jury. "I am the Executioner." Near said and looked back at the man and then Mello who stood up and was shocked. "What no! He is under control again!" Mello shouted. "No I am not Mello." Near told him looking at him. The whole court was full of gasp and some people were standing up and whispers all around. "I told Light Yagami to act like the killer and he did nothing and should be let go." Near said and Mello was in disbelief. "Near!" Mello said softly and looked back at his friend Matt. "Why are you doing this?" He asked his whole world coming down around him. "Why!" He shouted. "I did this for you Mello, how else could you be number one?" Near asked turning to him. "Now I will go to jail be killed and you will be number one and take over for L." He said looking at him seriously. "But Near…" Mello said to him. "Why would you do all this, kill and be with me and Matt?" He asked. "We did this for you, Matt did nothing but act like my controller." He explained. "He did not help with a killing or anything." He made that clear. "I killed and I did everything on my own free will." He said strongly and seriousness in his voice. "If this is true you will be sentence to death." The judge warned. "Yes, I know." Near turned back to him. "I am ready." He said and L stood up and walked over to Near looking down at him a small smile came on to his face. "I knew it…" He said softly nibbling on his thumb and he walked away and back to his seat. "Alright, then I sentence you Near to death row and to he shot to death." The judge ruled and Near was put in handcuffs and taken away. Near looked back at Mello and smiled at him softly. "NO!" Mello shouted and ran up to Near but Matt stopped him and Mello pushed him away. "No! This isn't true!" Mello shouted. "Near I love you!" He shouted at him being held back by guards. "I love you to Mello, now you will be number one and not have to worry about me." He said calmly looking back at him. " But Near!" He fought the guards. "I can't go on without you! I need you!" Mello said and Near shook his head. "You have Matt, you can replace me with him or someone else." He said and he worded 'I love you' again and he was taken out of the room.

Mello stood there in disbeilf and he was shaken and eyes widen and the room was filled with whispers and he looked around the room and landed on Matt and he looked mad and he walked out of the room and Matt followed him. Mello sat outside on the stairs of the court house and looked out into the raining streets and he was sitting in the rain trying to clear his mind. Matt walked next to him and then in front of him and Mello looked up at him.

"You knew?" He asked softly and matt nodded. "Yes… It's sweet in a way and heart breaking at the same time." Matt told him calmly. "Yes…" Mello said gripping his pants. "Very…" He said looking at the ground.

A few weeks passed and Mello was standing outside in a jail and he had a gun in his hand along with Matt L and Light all lined up and with their arms aimed at Near.

Light had been let out and nothing happened to Matt once he got a test and passed. Mello had become number one and working with L and he had visited Near in jail while he could. He wasn't mad at Near just sad this all happened for him. "One, two three." The guard said and all four guns went off and Near sitting ten feet away was in a chair strapped down so he couldn't run and he had one single hole in his heart and his head was limp and hanging forward and Mello stood there and dropped the gun and walked up to Near. No one would ever know who had the bullet and killed Near but he was dead for the murders he had done. Near looked down at him and he had a blank look on his face like Near always had. "I will be you and I will be as great as you were…" He whispered softly. "I will see you again…" He promised and he walked away and matt followed him and held his hand.

"Are you okay?" Matt asked looking over at his new boyfriend and best friend. "Yeah…" He said walking out of the gated jail with him and got into a car with L and he sat there looking out the window still holding hands. "Do you want to go home?" Matt asked Mello. "Yeah." Mello said again watching the jail get further and further away.

"I hope you go to heaven and not hell." He said aloud watching the jail disappear and sighed. "The holder of the death note does not go to either." He said. "He will become something much greater for the sin he did." L said and Mello started at him. "Well then I may do the same…" Mello said coldly. "Even if you did you wouldn't remember each other…" L informed him and Mello looked out the window again and Matt squeezed Mello hand. "I will always be with you." Matt told him and Mello nodded at him softly. "I love you Near. Thank you; forever thing…" Mello whispered and he leaned back into his seat and laid his head on Matt shoulder.

And that is the end~

Such a sad ending I cried while writing this... I hoped you were all shocked and enjoyed this fan fiction.
