DarkAngelJudas: Speaking on Mellos behalf, to find out what he does to Near, I suggest to read this chapter ;) Thanks for reading!

Read it, comment (thanks for the comments so far!) and most of all LOVE IT!


Mello could feel Near shaking, was he really that scared? The first thought that came to his mind was to get the little brat off him, but he looked so vulnerable and Mello couldn't believe he was admitting this to himself, but Near, the boy with less emotion than a cotton ball, looked cute.

"Utter a single word about this and I'll kill you okay?" Mello hissed.

Near looked up in confusion and realised he was hugging Mellos leg, he leapt back, "I'm sorry!" He stuttered.

Mello just looked down at him and sighed, before scooping him up off the ground, "Huh?" Near said, confused as to why Mello would even touch him unless it was to connect a punch to his body.

"Just shut your trap." Mello grumbled, he headed over to the couch and lay down, Near resting on top of him.

"Go to sleep." Mello ordered, Near nodded and obeyed.

At first he was a little scared, is this some sort of trick that Mello was pulling? But when Mello wrapped his arm around him he knew it was just genuine…

…Care.

Soon Near felt his eyelids grow heavier and the repetitive rumbles from the thunderstorm didn't even bother him anymore.

Mello looked down onto Nears face, from the way he was breathing, so slow and even, to the way his expression changed, Near just had to be asleep, "Goodnight Near." He whispered to the little white haired boy.

Near heard the soft whisper from Mello and smiled to himself, obviously he wasn't supposed to hear it, even so, he felt happy that he was just about to fall asleep when he said it, he was almost tempted to reply…but we all know how that would've ended, so instead, Near just fell asleep, curled in Mellos arms.

Matt peeked through the door that he knew Mello and Near were in, only to see Near curled on Mello, sleeping…his heart pounded painfully in his chest, he knew that Mello had a soft spot for Near and he knew that neither of the two actually understood what was going on but still…

…Why did Mello have to do this behind his back? Especially after that.

He could feel his jealousy welling inside his chest as he walked up to his room, trying to decide as to what to do about it, confront Mello? No, he would have his ass kicked and then Mello would blame him for stalking…Confront Near? Mello probably already took care of what Near could and couldn't say after this…so what should he do?

"Urgh…fuck this." He sat slumped onto his bed and grabbed a Xbox controller, starting up one of his favourite games.

Not five minutes into the game a knock sounded on the door, "Matty?"

"What do you want?" He snapped, his tone angry.

"What's wrong?" Mello asked, walking into his room.

Matt paused the game and turned to face Mello, "Really?" He said, upset that his, yes, his boyfriend was lying to him.

"What I don't-?" Mello began before Matt cut him off in a rage.

"Don't give me this shit Mello, I saw you! I saw you and Near! What the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK?" Matt felt cheated, but he also felt guilty, so Mello really didn't belong to him after all…

"I'm sorry Matt," Mello choked, "He was scared and…FUCK I'VE GOTTEN SOFT!" Mello shouted at himself in realisation.

The two stared at each other for a little while before cracking up with laughter, Mello still seemed pissed with himself though.

Mello made his way across the room to Matt and slinked his arms around the red heads neck, "I'm sorry Matty, will you forgive me?"

Matt looked down into the, for once, not so cold, icy blue eyes that Mello possessed, "Yes, I forgive you…" Mello's face lit up with happiness, "…On one condition."

Mellos smile disappeared, he didn't like conditions, he like conditioner but not conditions.

"Never, ever, play dumb again…you just weren't made to be an actor." Matt said, a smile playing at his lips.

"Matty!" Mello said, playfully slapping Matt on the chest.

"Frisky!" Matt teased.

"Miaow." Mello replied, in a sexy voice, before leaning in and kissing Matt.

It was a sweet kiss, nothing too deep, but all the same, Mello got confused from it, why did he see Near when he kissed Matt? He loved Matt, not Near. Hell, he'd had a crush on Matt for ages, yet thinking over his past actions, he'd been acting really different around Near.

This thought made him very angry.

When Matt pulled out of the kiss he noticed the confusion his boyfriends face, "What's up Mells?" He asked.

"Nothing, I'm tired." Mello groaned.

Matt laid on his bed and gestured for Mello to join him, Mello happily snuggled down into his boyfriends arms and drifted into a light sleep.

The red head watched as Mello fell into sleep, a small frown on his face, he was happy but sad, like how Mello was oblivious to his feeling towards Near and how he was using Matt, how he was tormenting Matts feelings.

Either way Near was going to win, he knew that, deep down inside his heart, but Mello was his now... surely something could come out of that?

Near woke up with a jolt on the sofa, he could barely remember anything, maybe he was still tired, but one thing he did notice was that Mello had disappeared. A little tug pulled gently at his heart, and his expression saddened, why did Mello leave?

The boy shook his head, his white curls of hair bouncing a little, why would he want Mello to stay? God knows what he was thinking letting Mello see that…vulnerable side to him, he hated that side, he didn't need that side and he most certainly didn't want to expose that side.

Taking a deep breath he immediately cleared his mind, his face became expressionless and his heart turned a little colder, his voice lost its emotion and his eyes became bored and dark again.

He stood up and walked to the door, checking the clock as he went by, it was eleven pm, so in actuality not much time had passed, it was still the same day, well it was only an hour away from being the next day but let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

Walking down the hallways, Near could hear the snores of children as they slept, he even heard Roger talking in his sleep as he passed the teachers dorms, soon enough though, he had reached his room. Upon opening the door, Near noticed something was wrong, the lego that he had built earlier that day had vanished…actually everything in his room had vanished…let me repeat that, EVERYTHING, his toys, bed, clothes, wardrobe, structures, papers, EVERYTHING.

Near nearly had a heart attack…what was happening? Where was all his stuff? What happened?

"Fuck…" Near whispered, his mouth gaping.

Taking a step forward into the room he flicked the light on, nobody seemed to be in his room, but his mind could not find any other logical explanation other than he'd or Wammys had been robbed…

…Well actually, that was a lie, he did have one more logical explanation but he never thought that he might do this, yes, surely he was wrong…

…Surely Mello didn't do this.


Sorry bout the cliff hanger *looks around nervously* I'll update soon?

Matt: Lies, lies I tell you.

Urgh, you're so annoying sometimes!

Mello: *points gun at author* Who is annoying?

A REAL gun against someone who only ever used guns in games...fuck my life *runs to the forest*

Anyways, hope you enjoyed! :)
