A.N./ Sorry about the no lemon. It would have worked in the last chapter but I want to save it for later. Well, now you get to meet Lucille. Yeah, I'm going to totally take Lucille from Ningyou Kyuutei Gakudan. It will be available in October in stores near you. EEEEEEEE! I can't wait. Oh well, if you want to know who Lucille is you can find the manga on . I hope you don't mind. I wuvs him.
[Mello's point of view]
Mello stood waiting for Lucille. It was all too often the singer was late. He was glad he told him to be here right away. The singer would probably only be a couple more minutes. Mello sighed and plopped himself down on the couch. He didn't have the patience for the singer's antics he knew would be coming.
Mello braced himself when he heard a knock at his door. It was either death in a handbasket or Lucille. Mello was willing to bet on Lucille. He looked over at the clock. It took Lucille thirty freakin' minutes to get his pretty ass over here. Mello just sighed and opened the door to reveal the blonde, long haired singer.
"Mello, I hope you don't mind, but I brought a friend." Lucille gestered to a little boy.
"Eles, say hi to the nice mister." Mello looked down at him. He looked about ten.
"Hey, Lucille? We didn't agree that you could bring a kid over too." Mello started off annoyed. He stopped when he saw the man before him smiling.
"What." Mello deadpanned. He hated the singer's antics. Lucille was always his last choice besides Light. Sure, Light was smart and handsome but had an ego larger than the sun. Lucille had a smaller ego and was prettier. He was more feminine than Light, a major accomplishment, and kids really liked him because he was always smiling.
"Eles is a wonderful caretaker. Don't worry about it. Your little cutie will be safe in her hands." Mello sighed. He supposed it would be alright with another person looking after Near along with Lucille.
"Alright. He's in the bedroom asleep. Check on him every few minutes. I'll be going. Don't be surprised if I don't come back." With that, Mello headed out the door. He didn't have a car so it would only take about fifteen minutes to get to 26 South side. He should be there in no time.
[Near's point of view]
Near woke up when he heard the living room door slam shut. He hadn't been asleep for long. Near got off the bed and headed for the living room. Someone named Lucille was supposed to be watching him. He cracked open the door just a little to see two people talking in the living room.
He quietly crept out into the living room. He didn't want them to know he was awake but he was getting hungry and the kitchen was through the living room. Of course, due to his luck, he ended up smacking right into someone.
"Oof!" Near fell on his little bottom.
"Oh! I'm sorry. You must be the child Lucille is supposed to be looking after. I'm eles. What are you doing up?" Near looked up just a little. This person was about his height except a few inches taller. Near couldn't tell if it was a boy or girl.
"I'm hungry." With that he walked off to the kitchen in a way that was supposed to be dignified but simply looked like a child with their knickers in a knot.
"Oh, I'll help. By the way, what's your name?" Near felt himself being lifted up and placed on the girl's/boy's back.
"Near." He snuggled his face into her back as she walked into the kitchen. His mind was telling him that her/him picking him up wasn't as good as Mello doing it. He wished Mello was back already...
[Mello's point of view]
Mello stood waiting at the place he was supposed to meet Matt's boss. He knew that he probably should have left a little later so he didn't have to wait this long but he honestly didn't want to deal with Lucille and he really didn't want to know where he picked up Eles.
His head turned when he heard a car. He stood there in front of it for a moment before he realized that it wasn't going to stop until it ran over him. Mello moved out of the way and the car missed him by about an inch. He looked over to see who was driving when he saw a man in a long furry coat come out. It was very difficult for him not to laugh.
"Hey! You is that Mello guy what's his name told me abouts, right?" He nodded.
"That's me." He took a step towards the man he assumed to be the boss.
"Yer a cop." He nodded. The man wanted someone inside the police force so he could get rid of evidence.
"Then, let's talk buisness. Get inside the car." Mello did as he was told. He really hoped that the man wasn't going to kill him. He wanted to see his cutie again. The man followed him in the car.
"You're prettier than I thought you would be. Ya wanna get up in my mob, ya gotta do as I says." The boss said this as he placed a hand on his thigh. Mello inwardly cringed but didn't show it on the outside. This would be better in the long run he kept telling himself.
"Sir, if you want to talk buisness, I suggest you talk buisness and get your hand off my knee. If you want sex, I've got a pretty mister in my apartment you can have." The man took his hand off Mello's knee.
"Fine, ya is gonna start in on stealin' things that I needs stolen. I is gonna give that guy friend of ya's to tell ya what ya will steal for meh's. If ya is good, I is gonna give ya a promotion." Mello sighed. He would be seeing allot more of Matt these days. Next time he would have him babysit Near while he was out. Maybe he would even bring Near. The kid was a thief and pretty damn good one at that.
"Alright." With that Mello got out of the car. He didn't really want to leave Near alone with Lucille for too long lest the singer end up with Mello's apartment burned down. Fifteen freakin' minutes away. Mello started walking. He really wanted to get home soon...
[Near's point of view]
Near sat there being fed all sorts of thing she would have not been eating unless he was starving. He was being fed chocolate, milkshakes, oranges, ham, country fried ham that Lucille had managed to burn, and fried chicken. Near was trying to eat them all but it was hard. They weren't cooked well, and yes, Lucille did cook the chocolate. Right about now he was really hoping Mello would get home.
"Say ah!" Near opened his mouth for an orange slice that was cooked in the microwave a second ago. He wouldn't be eating this if he didn't want to be polite.
Knock knock knock.
"Lucille, open the door." Near heard Mello's voice behind the door. He jumped up and ran towards the door. He couldn't wait to see Mello. Mello would make these dreaded people leave. Near didn't often hate people but he was completely sure that he hated these people. He opened the door before Lucille ever got the chance to.
"Mello!" Near jumped into Mello's arms and practically squealed for joy.
"Near?" Near snuggled upt to Mello. He was only gone for about thirty minutes and yet Near was sure it felt like a life time.
"Mewwo, make them leave." Near pointed to Lucille and Eles.
"Alright, you all get out." Near felt himself being carried to the couch as the people who were supposed to be watching him left.
"Mello?"
"Yes, Near?"
"Don't ever leave me alone with those people again." He heard Mello let out a snicker.
"Alright, sweety." Near smiled a little. He liked it when Mello called him that.
A.N./ Alright, this chapter was almost meaningless. Mello met the boss. Dun dun dun. Now he's going to steal things. WEEE! Fun. I wish they didn't make the playstation three. I wish they only had the playstation two so they would only make games for it. T-T I don't have the money for a ps3. Review for this chapter and help me get to thirty!
