Mello grinned to himself; they were finally playing a game that Mello could win hands down. This was his area of expertise, and he felt excited at the control he had over Near.

Mello looked at Near, without saying a word, for a long time, making the little albino blush a little. "M-Mello?" Near stuttered.

Mello said nothing; instead, he grabbed some of Near's hair and pulled gently on it, winning a sigh from Near. He proceeded by twirling the strand of hair around his finger, like Near. His hair is soft… so soft. Mello continued twirling, while Near looked down at his feet feeling a little vulnerable. He was unable to think clearly—but he liked it.

In one swift motion, Mello had Near's hands pinned above his head. Using his free hand, Mello traced a finger along the younger boy's jaw line. Near could feel his heart pounding away and he couldn't help but wonder if Mello could hear the strong beat. The blonde tilted Near's head back, making it rest on the rack behind them. Mello then moved in closer to gently kiss the pale white skin on Near's neck.

Mello felt Near shudder under him and he heard the boy let out a soft moan. Just as Near was beginning to think that Mello was kind at heart, Mello experimented: he clamped his teeth around a bit of Near's velvety skin and bit him forcefully, breaking the tender skin and drawing a thin line of blood.

Near gasped and sunk his nails into Mello's hand. Mello inhaled sharply at

Near's reaction and licked the trailing blood. Near shivered. Mello pulled back and grinned at him.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself, Sheep."

Near opened his mouth to answer, but Mello quickly pressed his lips against Near's. He has soft lips. Near opened his mouth, inviting Mello in; Mello obliged and slipped his tongue inside. The two fought for dominance, but, being the less experienced one, Near hastily relinquished the small amount of control he still had, letting Mello lead.

The kiss lingered on until they finally pulled back. It was only then that they realized that they were no longer standing; they were sitting spider-style, with Mello on top. Their groins were pressed together, and when Near shifted to get more comfortable, it created friction. Both boys blushed furiously. Near found that the boy staring back at him was beautiful, especially when the deep red color stretched across his face.

Near couldn't help but smile at the older boy's perfection. Mello was taken aback. Near is smiling. Damn, he has a flawless smile. Mello could feel his chest tighten. He remarked several things about the younger boy as they panted: Near's hair was ruffled; his eyes were foggy and unseeing, as if they were reviewing the past few moments over and over again; and his lips quivered every time he took a deep breath.

Wow. He's stunning. Mello's heart skipped a beat as his jaw dropped slightly. Enough time passed that both boys' breathing was back to normal. Mello got up and looked down and a puzzled Near.

Mello bent down and ruffled Near's hair. Then he held the boy's chin in between his thumb and his index finger, tilted his head upwards, and planted a kiss on Near's rosy lips.

"See you later," Mello whispered. With that said, Mello grabbed a bar of chocolate from the chocolate box and left the pantry, leaving Near, who was still seated on the floor, behind.

When Mello finally got back into bed it was nearly 5 am. He looked down at the untouched chocolate bar in his hands. Oh… I get it. He tore off the wrapping and bit off a large chunk of chocolate, chewing it thoughtfully. He smiled to himself.

I like Near.
