A.N./ Good evening, morning, night, and afternoon. I suppose it depends on what time zone you're in. It's afternoon here. Another chapter. Yeah! Well, my boy friend is being an idiot. Again. I don't think he stops being an idiot. Not happy with him right now. He can be so stupid. We haven't seen each other in forever. He lives like three minutes away by car and says he can only see me on the weekend. I have to work on the weekends recently so I can't really see him. He also says he prefers texting to actually talking. Great huh? Enough of that. I'm just venting. You all would much prefer to read the chapter.
[Mello's point of view]
The trip back to Mello's apartment was short and sweet sort of. Well, if you don't count Matt's road rage then, yes it was sweet. They had made it back in no time and Mello had to start planning.
Mello was contemplating on bringing Near with him. The child had been a thief once before. He could use him. Then again, he is also a seven year old. He was also considering calling a babysitter. Not Lucille this time. Near had made it very clear that he did not want to ever see Lucille and Eles again. He had to find someone else. Misa and Linda were out. He didn't want them to spoil Near's innocence.
Mello sighed and plopped himself on the couch. He had set Near on the bed and told him to take a little nap. He had needed time alone to think things through. If he couldn't find a baby sitter for Near then he would have to take him with him. He could always see if Matt was available. Near seemed alright with him so he didn't mind if Matt would watch him.
Mello sighed again. He might as well call Matt and ask him even though he had just left them. Mello dialed the number and waited until Matt picked up.
"Mello? Whadda ya want? I just left."
"Yeah, thanks for pointing out the obvious. I need a favor." Mello crossed his fingers.
"What is if first?"
"I need you to watch Near on Friday." Mello found new religion in the few seconds Matt didn't answer. He called it, 'Please save my ass religion.' It had a nice ring to it.
"I have nothing planned so sure." He thanked his new religion's god called 'Ass saved.'
"Thank you so much, Matt. You are the best friend any guy could ask for." Mello said happily as he hung up.
Mello practicall jumped for joy. He ran into the bedroom to tell Near. He wasn't quite sure why he needed to tell his angel just yet but hey, it couldn't hurt... probably...
[Near's point of view]
Near was lying on the bed trying to sleep like Mello told him to, he wasn't the least bit tired, when Mello came runnning into the room and hugged him. Naturally Near hugged back but was wondering why Mello was hugging him so suddenly.
"M-Mello?" Near questioned. Mello let go and looked back down towards him.
"Near, I have you a baby sitter for Friday. No, it isn't Lucille again. I know you don't like him." Near gave a short sigh of relief. He really hated Lucille. Hated. Loathed. There wasn't a word to describe how much he disliked Lucille.
"Okay, who is it?" Near looked up torwards Mello. After this he had some questions for him.
"Matt. You know, the one who drove us to the library." Near nodded. Matt was fine. He liked Matt. Not like he liked Mello. He didn't understand how he liked Mello all he knew was he didn't want to live without Mello. He would rather die than live without Mello.
"I don't mind him. Uhm... Mello?" Near looked up with his eyes that he tried his best to make look like a puppy dog's eyes.
"Yeah?" Hook line and sinker.
"May we talk about what I read in the library?" Near asked adding extra sweetness to his voice.
"Yeah, I was wondering what you were looking up." Near gave a sweet smile.
"I looked up the act of sex." Near watched Mello's face for signs of discomfort. He found it odd the way Mello's face contorted into confusion, then surprise, and finally his eyes just rolled back in his head and he fainted. Near just watched as Mello fell off the bed and landed on the floor. He was kind of hoping Mello wouldn't have fallen. He couldn't pick him up.
"I wonder why he fainted..."
[Mello's point of view]
When Mello heard what Near looked up he suddenly felt the need to go unconcious. He didn't faint. Mello will never faint. Fainting is what women do. Mello was a man and so he just went unconcious from the shock of what Near said.
Mello woke up a few hours later. It was pitch black and Near was on his chest sleeping. He had to supress the urge to say awe to not wake the kid. He knew it would be difficult to sleep with Near on him like this but it was either this or wake the kid up and Mello didn't have the heart to do that.
Mello decided to use his time wisely to think about what Near said.
Near had looked up sex. His little innocent Near had looked up an act that he shouldn't know about until middle school. Hell, he didn't even want him to know about it then. He wanted to keep him as innocent as he could until puberty. Hopefully a little longer than that but he didn't have much chance of that happening.
He sighed. Near wasn't going to be innocent anymore. Hell, he had been wanting to do it with the kid anyway so he supposed this worked out in favor of him. With the kid lying on his chest so vunerable right now, he could take this opportunity to do the naughty with him if he felt the need. Near probably didn't know that males could have sex with each other though so he supposed that he didn't need to know just yet. Maybe tomorrow. Or the next time he was hard. Yeah...
Mello sat up as slow as he could to try and not wake the kid. Sitting up and then trying to stand up with someone on your chest isn't very easy. Mello almost fell over twice. He made it up and laid Near on the bed. Mello placed a small kiss on his angel's lips. He could use this time to go out and buy the things he needed for Friday. Being a cop helped you get to know people. The bad kind of people you weren't supposed to know. He didn't mind though. He supposed you could call him currupt now.
Mello looked at his little darling one last time before he left. Near looked so peaceful sleeping. It was so cute. Mello sighed and headed out the door. Word had it a certain thief was out and about again on parol. He thought it time to pay Sayu Yagami a visit...
A.N./ I sowwy it's so short. And dun dun dun. Sayu a thief. Who would have thunk it? Not allot of people, my good sir, not allot of people. Well, I actually randomly picked her out of my favorite characters... Oh well. I know you all still loves it hopefully. I have Mountain Dew. I don't want to go to work... I have to go at midnight. No fun. Le sigh... I don't know what to do after this...
