Disclaimer: I do not own Death Note. Was there hot gay sex anywhere in the manga or anime? NO, if I owned it there would have been.

A.N./ I am going to try updating daily. If this chapter isn't any good please forgive me. I have literally been up all night. I'm hungry. FEED ME. Figure out some way to do it through the computer. I don't want you stalking me. I'll give you a hint though, I live in the United States. Hint enough? No? I also live in Kentucky. Now, figure out where I live, on the edge of the Ohio River, and bring me food! Also, if any of you all are beta readers tell me. I need a beta. Wait! Idea! No, still need one. T-T

[Near's point of view]

Near sat nibbling at a chicken nugget. He was happy that he actually didn't have to buy this. How do kids express their happiness? They give people hugs. That's exactly what Near did. He gave Mello a hug. He snuggled up against him and ended up sitting in his lap throughout the rest of the time they were there.

"Hey, kid, you still haven't told me where you live? I need to take you back to your parents. They're probably worried about you." Near heard Mello but he really didn't want to go back to that meanie face of a foster father he had. He preferred living on the streets to going back there.

"I live in the alley way Mello found me in." He heard the blonde sigh. He looked up at Mello's face.

"Well, I can't just let you stay in an alley way." Near wasn't sure what Mello meant but he felt himself being picked up once more and being carried out the door. He didn't mind. He enjoyed being carried. He understood now why most kids would beg to be picked up. It made you feel taller and it was like a rush of excitement. Near clung to Mello like before and watched as the man walked closer and closer to the alley way he'd been found in. He suddenly started to get very sad very quickly. He didn't want to be left there again. He enjoyed being around Mello even if it was a short amount of time. He was the only person who even dared care for him besides the other hobos with the guns. They liked to pat him on the head.

"Well, where do you 'live'" Mello used his fingers to emphasize the live part. Near point to his little card board box covered in blankets. He felt himself being sat down and whimpered a little.

"Hush up. We're getting your stuff and bringing it back to my place." Near watched as Mello lifted up some blankets.

"Can we bring my teddy bear too?" Near looked up into Mello's eyes. Mello immediately looked away and it made Near kind of sad. He felt somewhat dejected when Mello looked away.

"Yeah, grab your stuff and give it to me." Near nodded and grabbed his monkey puppet and his teddy bear. Those were the only things that were actually worth keeping anyway.

"Whadda bout the blankets?" Near shrugged his cute little chubby shoulders as he stood on his tiptoes in an effort to get Mello to pick him up again.

"I don't need them unless you want me to bring them." Near looked up into Mello's sapphire eyes.

"Nah." He felt himself being picked up again and let out a little giggle. He snuggled up against Mello's chest willing himself to be carried. He didn't pay attention to how long the walk took nor the fact that he was getting heavy to Mello. He was just glad that he wasn't going to be left in the alley.

[Mello's point of view]

Mello reached his apartment only a little bit longer as if he hadn't been carrying a little bundle of joy. He almost dropped Near a few times on accident. Crazy hooker needs to stay outta his way. Ignoring his ranting thoughts about the hooker he slammed the door behind him with his foot and went over to set Near on the couch. He didn't notice until he had succeeded in placing Near on the couch that the kid had actually fallen asleep on the way here. Mello could almost not believe it, with all that yelling at that damned hooker who apparently thought it was alright to touch someone's groin area without their consent.

Mello looked at the little kid. He was like a dwarf of a bigger person except in smaller, cuter size. Mello let his thoughts run on how cute Near looked but eventually they stopped as he saw the child shiver. He almost wanted to hug him right then and there but that would wake the sleeping angel and he didn't want to do that. He settled on picking Near up and bringing him into his bedroom. He placed two blankets over the sleeping child to keep him warm in his cold apartment.

Mello took notice of the fact that the kid's teddy bear wasn't with him. He went to go pick it up from where it had been dropped when he was carrying Near. The teddy bear was all white and held ruby eyes. Mello thought it was very pretty. It suited Near. He had just slipped it under the sheets into the arms of the little kid who was so blissfully sleeping when there was a knock at his door. Mello being the gentleman that he was didn't yell at the person behind the door for knocking so loudly almost waking little Near up.

He went to the door and peeped through the eye hole. Just as he thought. He never got a break from this. He took a deep breath before opening the door to reveal an extremely happy blonde woman in a pink lacy outfit.

"Misa." Mello said curtly as he stepped out into the hallway. He didn't want her loud voice waking up the baby.

"Wha? You're not going to let me in? How rude..." Misa fake pouted giving Mello the look that she wanted something.

"Whadda ya want Misa?"

"What? I can't be friendly?" Mello shook his head. He hated her when she was in the mood to play. It usually meant there was a tied up Linda next door and she wanted something to torture her with.

"No. Now, I'll ask again. What do you want, Misa?" Misa pouted again then her lips turned into a smile.

"Well, I was wondering about the vibrater I got you for Christmas... You haven't used it have you?" Mello shook his head.

"Wait here and I'll get it for you." Misa saluted him while he went to get it. That girl could be annoying sometimes but she could be real fun other times.

Mello returned and handed Misa the vibrator.

"Make sure you tape her mouth shut. I have a guest sleeping in my bedroom and I would prefer if you didn't wake him." Misa nodded and skipped to her apartment across the hall. Mello figured he would find the earplugs now and put them in while it was still quiet. Misa never listened when you told her expressively not to do something. He ignored his thoughts and went into the bedroom. He saw Near sitting up rubbing his eyes.

"M-mello?" Mello walked over to the kid.

"Yeah, what do you want, hm?" Mello asked softly patting the curls ontop of a snow white head.

"Nothing. I just wanna go back to bed but I was woken up by some loud beeping thing. I disamred the thing and now it's just sitting over there on the floor." Mello looked over to what was beeping and saw that it was in fact his beeper for work.

"Near! For fuck's sake! That was my beepre for work!" Mello immmediatly reggretted his anger as the little white puff ball curled up like he was going to strike him.

"I'm sorry... I..." Mello rolled his eyes and gave the kid a hug.

"It's fine. I guess I should be praising you for disarming it and whatnot. Not many kids can do that you know." Mello ended up resting his head ontop of white curls as he let his eyes slip shut for a moment.

"Really?"

"Yep. You're one of a kind. Special." Mello smiled into Near's hair.

"Thank you, Mello..." He planted a chaste kiss on top of the curls and gave another smile. He probably shouldn't be so proud of the kid at the moment but he couldn't help it.

"Go back to sleep, babe." Near nodded.

"Night."

"Night." Mello couldn't suppress the urge of lying down with Near in the bed. He was being just too cute. It didn't even take five minutes for the kid to fall asleep. Mello couldn't help but admire the cute sleeping face of the child in front of him. So much so that he was worried about his feelings. He was never worried about his feelings. Usually his gut always told him right but right now he felt the need to plunder the kid in front of him and take his virginity. In society's eyes, that's not right. Mello turned on his back and stared at the ceiling. He was silently wondering what was wrong with him...
