OH NOES. . . That's really all I have to say xP

Chapter Five

For Better Or Worse. . .

Mello woke up with his head pounding. He was tied to a chair in view of the bed, which Near was tied. Struggling against the bounds.

Mello squirmed in the chair, glaring at the intruder.

"What do you want?" Mello snapped.

"Simple. To get back at you. You took my job, Mello. I'm no use to Boss any more thanks to you. I'm just a pawn." He grabbed Near's chin.

"Don't touch Near!"

"Well, her body ain't all that great. Flat as a cutting board. Oh well, I like a pretty face." He laughed evilly. Near stared in horror, trying his best to cover himself with his legs so he could get to his pants.

"Leave him out of this!"

"Him? Huh. Didn't know you swung that way, Mello. Ah, well, I guess I could try it." He had successfully pulled down Near's pants and boxers, Near's attempts futile.

Near struggled harder, trying to break the ropes. Another failure.

"No! Stop!" Mello yelled, Near was too frightened to speak.

He thrust into Near without warning, making him admit a scream. He bit Near's neck, drawing blood, giving him a scare that would surly last a while.

"STOP! PLEASE!" Mello yelled, on the verge of tears.

He suddenly stopped and pulled out of Near and put on his cloths. "You really are pathetic." He kicked over Mello's chair, breaking the bounds and trudging out of the apartment.

Near was sobbing.

Mello instantly rushed over to Near and untied the bound on his wrists, careful not to touch the bruises and cut from struggling against them.

He held the little body close.

"I'm s-sor-rry. . . I-I'm-m s-s-orry."

"Shh," He pet Near's hair softly. "It isn't your fault."

He held Near until the sobbing stopped. A good 20 minutes.

He lay on the bed, Near's head resting on his chest.

"I can't believe that happened."

"I don't want to talk about it. . ." He buried his face into his chest. "You talk about it when ever you want to." He rubbed Near's back trying to calm him, and secretly himself. He wanted to kill Red with his bare hands. He would have done it.

But right now, what he needed to do, was be with Near.

Near began to fondle Mello's rosary.

"Do you believe we're going to hell?"

"It's impossible to say."

"With homosexuality and premarital sex, why do you still wear this?"

Mello shrugged. "I suppose I never really thought of taking it off."

"You could always marry me." Near said, attempting to smile. It didn't work out too well.

"Is that a proposal?" Mello raised an eyebrow.

"N-no. U-unless you want too." Near blushed.

Mello inwardly smiled. This was his chance. He pulled out a small box and showed it to Near. "It depends. Do you?" He opened the box to reveal a silver ring.

Near's eyes widened in utter surprise. "M-Mello. H-how-?" Near was speechless.

"Yes or no, Near?"

Near nodded and Mello slipped on the ring, smiling.

"I love you Near, and I want to be with you forever."

"A-as do I."

He was still blushing.

WOW. Can't tell if it's a happy chappie, or a sad chappie. MORE TO COME SOON~!

VERY SHORT. MANY APOLOGIES.
