A/N: I do not own Death Note or any of it's characters.
This one is for superstrawberryL, sorry about the delay! I had a hard time thinking of how to make it work and my friend has been staying with me for a little while and she soooo wasn't helping! I hope you like it, though I think I could've done a much better job! R&R?
Enjoy! ;D
Near was definitely not the social type, and he also didn't get along with other people outside of work and professionalism, so you had really not expected him to agree to go to the mall with you. Sure, you bugged him about it for days, but that was besides the point.
Yeah, he had a lot of body guards with him and had refused to change out of his pajamas, but this was the first time you had ever been out in public with him and you were stoked.
You squealed with delight when you spotted all the fancy clothing shops and looked at Near expectantly. At the moment, he was looking extremely bored and twirling a lock of stray white hair between two nimble fingers as he looked at you. With a curt nod, he gave you permission and you didn't even wait a second before you went bounding towards the nearest shop.
You browsed the clothes for what seemed like hours each time you entered a different store and was about to go into yet another store when Near froze in place. Even his fingers stopped twirling his hair.
His eyes were wide as he stared at something across the mall. You glanced in the direction he was looking and saw a shop that was extremely colorful that had puzzle floor mats and legos everywhere.
Understanding completely, you grabbed his hand and led him towards the shop. He put up absolutely no resistance as he trotted along behind you as if he were in a trance.
As soon as you entered, you felt Near pull out of your grasp and run towards the back of the store. You laughed to yourself as you watched the body guards try to catch up to him.
Deciding it would be best to just let him be, you began slowly walking along the aisles and fidgeting with a few toys every now and then.
30 minutes later…
You looked up from the puzzle you were staring at when the speaker in the store starting blaring.
"We need mall security immediately," it was saying and you wondered why a toy store would need security.
Thinking it was best to find Near, you began looking for him.
You froze in your tracks when you found him. He was in the middle of what looked like a small castle made out of legos and was currently pelting small children with extra pieces and trying to keep them out. His body guards were doing absolutely nothing. The store clerk was at the side screaming her head off and literally pulling her hair out.
"Near! You idiot," You raced toward him, "What are you doing?"
He continued to throw the legos as he answered you, "Protecting my fortress," He said monotonely.
You grabbed his hands, making him drop his legos, and starting pulling him away. You yelled an apology to the clerk as you made your way to the entrance.
He stumbled as you quickly dragged him from the store and began running towards the mall exit. One of the guards that were with you caught on and ran ahead of you and out the door first. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw two men wearing grey security uniforms race into the toy store you had just left.
As you exited, the guard pulled a large SUV up and you quickly got in and turned your gaze towards Near as soon as the door shut, demanding an explanation.
He shrugged and began twirling a lock of hair again, "They were ruining my castle,"
"You dummy," you sighed and promised yourself you were never going to go out in public with Near again. Or at least until he could learn to get along with others.
