A.N./ You can all be mad at me but I blame writer's block and the unwillingness to actually update yesterday. I'll try and post a chapter Friday for you all to make up for Monday. No, I have no idea how long this will go on. It will probably continue until I find the right place to end it. I have even been thinking about a sequel in which you can read it and still know what the hell is going on without reading the prequel. I don't know yet but it sounds like a good idea. If you all want a sequel feel free to tell me in your reviews. I'll private message anyone who want one when the sequel is posted. ;)
[Near's point of view]
Near woke up alone. His first thought was to go into the living room and find Mello.
Near scooted out of bed the best he could when he ended up flopping down on the floor. It didn't hurt. He had landed on a nice big soft thing. Near half expected it to be Mello when he looked down. Of course it wasn't. It was just a large pillow that had fallen off the bed sometime in the middle of the night.
Near sighed and climbed off of the pillow and headed for the door. He was glad he wasn't like Mello who couldn't walk on a clean floor without finding nothing to trip over. Near would have to have another trip to the library to see if that was some sort of genetic disease.
He walked into the living room and looked around for Mello a little. He wasn't in the living room. Near ran to the kitchen. No Mello. He ran into the bathroom. Mello had disapeared.
Near plopped himself on the bathroom floor. He felt tears welling up in his eyes. He wanted Mello. He knew he had shocked Mello last night but he didn't think that he would up and leave him here alone. Near didn't want to be alone again. He had been alone all his life and when he finally found someone he liked they left him.
Tears started to fall from Near's eyes without hesitance or restraint. He felt his heart start to hurt from the lonliness.
Near curled up into a little ball. Mello had left him here. Mello left him here in his apartment and he was never coming back. Near couldn't help but cry more at those thoughts.
Knock knock knock.
He sat up and looked at the bathroom door. He could have sworn he heard someone knocking on it.
Knock knock knock.
"Near?" It was Mello's voice coming from behind the door.
Near jumped up from the floor and ran to the door. He wasted no time in yanking it open as fast as a seven year could to reveal Mello.
"Mello?" Near practically squealed as he ran to Mello and started hugging his leg.
"Uhm, Near? Whatcha doing?" Near looked up from rubbing his head against Mello's leg.
"I thought Mello left." Near started pulling on Mello's jeans trying to get Mello to pick him up.
"I did but only to get the mail." Near almost felt like smacking himself for being such an idiot.
"Oh..." Near felt strong arms pulling him up to sit on Mello's hip.
"Calm down, sweetie. I wouldn't leave you." Near looked up into Mello's eyes and knew he was telling the truth. He couldn't explain why he just knew but he did. It was just a feeling and Near had never relied on his feelings. They just make bad things happen. Near had plenty of instances where his feelings got i n the way. Like when he had lived with his mother...
"Thank you. Mello?" Near wanted Mello to know how he felt. He wasn't sure himself but he wanted Mello to know.
"Yes, Near?" Near took in a large breath.
"I like you. I like you so much it pains me to think of you leaving and I have no idea why. When I think of you leaving I start to cry and I feel really lonely when you're gone. I think I might die without Mello. I don't even know why." Near cuddled against Mello.
"N-Near? Uh, I, uhm, well... How can I explain this?" Near looked up at Mello with expecting eyes just to see him turn away.
"Screw it. I like you too." Near felt his heart skip a beat when Mello said that. He placed his lips against Mello's like he saw someone do in the book he read in the library. He wanted to do the sex act with Mello. The book had described the sex act as becoming one with another person. Near wanted to do that with Mello.
"Near?" Near smiled at Mello.
"I want to do the sex act with Mello." Near felt Mello's arms slipping from his waist. He looked at Mello's face. He held the same face as he did last night when he had fainted. Near couldn't help but know what was going to come next...
[Mello's point of view]
Mello suddenly felt the need to go unconcious again when Near said he wanted to do the sex act. He wasn't sure if it was out of pure joy or shock but either way he ended up face down on the floor unconcious again. He would really need a cure for this disease of suddenly going unconcious.
Mello somewhere in the back of his mind duely noted he had dropped Near when he went unconcious.
[Near's point of view]
Near ended up falling on his bottom while Mello fell on his face when Mello had fainted just a second ago. He was pretty sure that what he said couldn't have been that big of a surprise. The book said many people enjoy the act of sex and it is now socially acceptable for two people of any gender to do the act of sex when they want to.
Near honsetly couldn't understand why Mello had fainted after he told him that. Near had never done the act of sex but he supposed it couldn't be that difficult. Unless... Maybe Mello had never done the act of sex either. It would make sense if that was why he fainted everytime Near mentioned it if he hadn't done the act of sex either.
Near tried to flip Mello over. It didn't work very well. Near ended up lying on top of Mello's back tired as Heck. He sighed. He wasn't getting anywhere with getting Mello up.
Him being of advanced intelligence, which was what his mother told him before her accident, decided to give up on turning Mello over. He went into the living room and turned on the t.v.
Near sat on the couch and turned it to channel sixty-three. He smiled when he saw that Tom and Jerry were on. He had always enjoyed them though he felt sorry for Tom.
Childish giggles escaped Near's lips as Jerry hit Tom over the head with a frying pan.
Knock knock knock.
Near looked over at the door. He jumped off the couch and ran to the door. He had a little trouble opening it but it came open after his sixth try.
"Near?" Near looked up to see Matt.
"Matt." He nodded to acknowledge the other's presences and started to twirl a finger around a lock of hair.
"Oh, I was wondering if I could talk to Mello. Where is he?" Near pointed to the bathroom.
"He fainted." A look of disapointment fell across Matt's face.
"Oh..."
"He'll wake up in an hour or so." Near informed him.
"'Kay. Give this slip of paper to him." Near nodded and took the slip of notebook paper Matt gave him. Matt turned and left and Near turned to the bathroom.
He walked into the bathroom and stuck the piece of paper under Mello's nose so when he woke up he could find it.
Near walked back in the living room and continued watching Tom and Jerry. Tom ended up trying to make Jerry into a sandwitch but he didn't succeed...
A.N./ I plan on puting some of Near's past in the next chapter. Sorry if this chapter sucked. The writer's block still has captive my mind. It's short too. As I was writing this I couldn't help but think, 'Why hasn't Mello gone to work yet? As far as I'm concerned he still has his job at the police station. Maybe he's on vacation. A very long vacation. How long has Near been with him? I don't know. Hrm... What month is it? I don't know. I sure don't know allot about my own story. Hm... Maybe I should make all this stuff up. How bout it's November. The rest can wait.'
