I do not own Death Note!!
Note: Thank you everyone for the great reviews. I apologize for taking so long in finally writing and posting the new chapter. I have been working a lot in my original writings. Hope you enjoy the chapter and leave me lots more reviews. A couple people said that they wondered if Matt would get revenge on Near for taking Mello. I had already decided to do something along that line but it's nice to see people requesting to see things hehe.
Warning!! This chapter contains a lot of pain and angst...just thought I would warn all of you.
Chapter 6 – Pain and Anger
When Mello woke, he opened his eyes to see sunlight shining through a cloud of soft white hair. Near was asleep with his face tucked in against Mello's neck. Mello smiled and let his body melt further under the blankets and against Near's body. Near shifted slightly and Mello grinned as the smaller boys leg slid between his own.
Mello glanced over to the clock sitting on the bedside table and groaned. "Shit. Near, wake up." Putting his hands on Near's shoulder, he shook him slightly, earning himself a disapproving groan. "Near, is almost 11:30. We need to get up before someone comes in here and finds us like this."
Near sat up slowly, rubbing his eyes with the back on his hand. "I told you, no one ever comes to wake me up. I usually sleep in late on the weekends."
"Roger saw us together yesterday. If no one can find me anywhere he might think to come ask you." Mello sat up and push Near's tangled hair out of his eyes.
"I didn't think of that." He smiled as Mello's fingers lingered in his hair. "What are we going to do today?"
Mello shrugged. "I don't know. I should go walk around for a while so people know I didn't disappear. You do whatever you do and I'll find you later. I usually walk around the ground on the weekends and find something to do outside. You can come with me."
Near smiled. "I don't usually go outside. But I guess I can try it. I'll be in the library when you are done with what you need to do."
Mello nodded and kissed Near on the forehead. "Okay. I'll see you soon." He stood and walked to the chair on the other side of the room where he had dropped his clothes the night before. He dressed quickly and carefully left the room, being sure no one was there too see him leave.
Near groaned as he stood up and went into his bathroom. Standing nude in the privacy of his bathroom, he quickly relieved his bladder and instantly felt better. As he was washing his hands, he thought he heard his door close.
Leaving the bathroom again, he looked around, half expecting to see Mello in there because he had forgotten something, but the room was empty. Near shrugged and went to his dresser for clean clothes. Pulling open the top drawer, he reached in for a clean pair of boxers and a hand appeared from around behind him and slammed the heavy wood closed on his hand.
Near cried out in pain as he felt bones break in his hand. Dropping to his knees he turned his head in time to see a fist flying at him. Near's head hit the front of the dresser as the heavy punch hit him with full force across the jaw. Blackness swam at the edges of his vision as whoever was assaulting him opened the drawer and released his hand. He crumpled into a heap on the floor, cradling his hand against his stomach. A hand grabbed his hair and pulled up his face. Near opened his eyes to see Matt's angry face two inches from him.
"I wont let you have him. If he wont be with me because of you, then I will remove you from the picture and he will be mine." Matt shook Near by the hair, slamming his head against the hard wood behind him.
Near whimpered in pain as light exploded behind his eyes. "Matt, please. Please stop."
Matt growled and tightened his grip in Near's hair. "I will stop. I will stop when you are either dead, or you sweat to me that you will stay away from Mello. Is the sex with him so good that you would give your life rather then be without him?"
"I don't understand, Matt. Please stop." Near tried to lift his uninjured hand and grab a hold on Matt's shirt.
"What is there to understand? I want you to stay away from Mello. How hard is that to understand? You two have avoided each other for years, just continue doing that and forget about even having fucked him."
"I cant forget, Matt. I love him." Near finally got his hand on Mello's shirt just at Matt roared with anger at his words.
Matt stood, his hand still in Near's hair, dragging him up to his feet. "Fuck you!" Matt screamed in Near's face before releasing his hair. As Near's knees gave out and he fell to the floor, Matt grabbed him by the arms and swung him around, hurling him into the floor length mirror mounted on the wall near the bathroom door.
The sound of the mirror breaking under Near's weight echoed through the room as Matt watched the small boys body crumple into a heap on the floor, pieces of mirror raining down on his still form. Matt stood, shaking with anger, watching a pool of blood grow under Near's body.
Suddenly, he realized what he had done. He stared at Near, willing him to move. Slowly, be backed across the room until he felt the wall against his back. He side stepped along the wall until he hit the corner, where he slid down onto the floor. Pulling his knees up to his chest, he never took his eyes off Near's body as the tear began to fall.
