Hey guys!

Omg chapter 15 already?! My baby is growing up! TT^TT

Lets answer some comments!

italyPASTA13: Oh stop it you xD Lol, well, I was a bit shocked I did that too, it wasn't originally planned but then I thought...why the hell not? Aww...I don't want it to end either! ;^; But it will, in around 8-9 chapters, sadly, but also, happily ^^ Thank you for reading!

DarkAngelJudas: Wow, you actually replied to what I was saying! (that was unexpected...0.o) Oh well, I thought you could because you kept on guessing my plot (unless it's just that predictable .) Ah yes well, the next chapter is going to be dedicated to Mellos thoughts, reasons, etc, etc, but I can understand why you think that way, because what he did was incredibly stupid. Thank you for reading as always! ^^

And also thanks to all those who favourited and all that! :D

Read it, comment and most of all...LOVE IT!

The plane trip was fairly quiet, Matt was playing one of his games and Near was sleeping, all curled up in his seat. At one point in time a female flight attendant had been staring at him for a little while before she saw him shiver, which she found as her cue to drape a blanket over him and tuck him in it.

Matt mouthed a 'thank you' and returned to his game, but halfway through he had stopped to read because he was fairly sure he could hear all the female flight attendants whispering about them at the front of the aisles, surely enough, he was spot on as always.

"Isn't the little one soooo cute?" A blonde attendant whispered, looking at Near with sparkling eyes, "How old do you think he is?"

"Apparently he's a lot older than he looks, I asked…" The brunette attendant took a pause to blush on the memory, "If he was the red heads son, but he said he was a friend." She confirmed.

"Awww…." They both chimed, looking at Nears sleeping face, reminding Matt of the looks Near had received in the airport, there was such a difference, though he didn't think Near would be too happy being fussed over by those girls.

Near shifted, an unhappy look on his face, causing Matt to wonder what Near dreamed about, he did have emotions, but it was obvious that Near hated and was bad at portraying them, so what would he be like in his dreams?

The red head was surprised when Near had shifted enough that his cheek was leaning on his shoulder, he felt his cheeks redden at the sudden contact.

"Gah, that is so cute!" He heard one of the attendants swoon in the background and hid his face so they wouldn't catch him blushing, actually, on that thought…why is he blushing?!

"Me-llo…" He heard Near murmur, looking down at his face again, he could figure out the unhappy look that he wore before, and it made him sad too, why did Mello had to leave? If he saw the way Near was now, he'd be able to understand just how much Near cares.

It kind of baffled Matt as to how those two could care for each other in that way, but when he thought about it, it made perfect sense.

Mello was motivated by Near, of course, to beat him and to obtain number one in Wammys, but this obsession grew unhealthily and although Mello and Near could have been friends, it went differently because Mello would never admit that he admired how smart Near was and this would piss him off, causing him to physically harm the source of his anger. It also could have gone differently had Near shown some respect to Mello, not to say that he didn't, but Near had no idea how to portray how he felt, leading Mello to get the wrong idea about him, but as soon as the two had cracked each other's shells they could visibly see and understand each other.

Unfortunately Mello still won't give up his worthless pride and because of that Near believes then that there is no point for him to reveal his feelings because there is no one to hear him.

Even though Matt is there, Matt wants to share Nears pain, Matt wants to help him, Matt wants to make him feel better and Matt just wants the best for him. Matt wants to make Near see that he is wrong about the fact that no one is there and if he doesn't soon than Mello will never come back to him.

These two have just set themselves up for a game to see who cracks first.

"Sir, your dinners have are ready." A hostess said, holding two plates.

"Ah thanks," Matt murmured, taking the plates and placing them on the two trays in front of Near and him.

"You're welcome, I will be back to collect the dishes when you're finished." She said with a smile, before walking off.

Matt looked down at Near, he didn't really want to disturb him, but he didn't want Nears food to get cold either, "Er…Near?" Matt prodded Nears shoulder softly, causing him to stir.

When he was fully awake, he noticed his position and immediately moved back on to his seat, a faint blush noticeable on his pale cheeks, "Sorry, if I bothered you and thanks for waking me." Near said, coughing a little, not wanting Matt to hear his real voice, he hadn't used it in years.

"Your voice sounds… different?" Matt asked, digging into his dinner.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Near replied, finally getting his monotone to replace his old voice again.

"You should speak with your normal voice more often, it suits you better." Matt chuckled slightly, peeking a little at Near to catch his reaction.

"Eh? Wha-." He placed his hand over his mouth when he had noticed that it had changed again, back to his normal voice.

"That's so cute." Matt complemented, making Near blush, he hid it by eating his food.

"Hmmm…I don't think I've ever seen you eat before." Matt noted, looking at Near weirdly.

"It is a human function, one must eat, I cannot avoid it." Near replied, avoiding eye contact.

"I know it's just…not a very 'Near' thing." Mello commented.

"I usually ate in my room back at Wammys, that's why you find it strange." Near answered, continuing to eat his pasta.

"Why eat in your room?" Matt asked, talking another bite of his steak.

"I don't like being in crowded halls, especially when there is food, it makes one a very easy target." The albino replied, twirling his hair with his free hand.

"Oh…" Matt didn't know that Near was bullied by others than Mello and this shocked him, he reckoned that most of the kids worshipped Near.

"None of them worship me Matt." Near said, reading Matts thoughts.

"How'd you know I was thinking that?!" Matt asked, surprised.

"You're like an open book, your facial expressions are even easier to read than Mellos."

"I guess that's no hard feat then." Matt said.

"It isn't." Near said, giggling a little, before stopping himself.

"Why don't you like to show people how you feel, Near?" Matt asked, watching as Nears face darkened.

"Because they are nothing but a burden and I do not need them."

Yeah… Matt thought, But do you really think that you and Mello could resolve your problem if you think like that? His face fell at that thought.

"And no Matt…"

"…?"

"I don't think that."

"Ladies and gentlemen, please do up your seatbelts as we are about to land, thank you for flying with us and may you have a pleasurable stay in Japan."

Thanks for reading!

Mello: Wow, you're making me look like the bad guy here...*sweat drop*

Mello: I have my reasons! Lemme explain! And he is not my boyfriend!
