Me: Heyyy peoples w I finally updated &Is like attacked…& xox

D: sorry about it though, had to refind this page and this boy who went to my jr high died on Monday. It was real depressing, even though I didn't know him well he was still part of what I call my school's kin, so it was a sad day.

RIP Nick H. 11/18/08 Rest in Peace

Enjoy the chapter X3

Xoxoxo

Near blankly stared at the page before him. To others it would like he was intently studying the page. But in reality he was thinking.

About a certain blond.

"Well I am only nervous that someone I don't know to well is somehow destined to be with me…"

'You know me Mello. You've known me better than anyone else. At school you knew my routine by heart. What I would eat and when. What my favorite hobbies are. And where to find me by a certain time. Matt made fun of you countless of times because it was as though you were stalking me…'

The albino stared down at the book before closing it he couldn't study under these conditions, 'I need a walk to clear my head.'

It was brisk outside as he crossed a path behind one of the classrooms. It wasn't night yet but it wasn't evening, it was in between. It looked as though the sun was resting on the horizon with only an hour or two of light to show.

Near hurried to get to his spot before night fully engulfed the area dodging tree branches and sticks on the way. He came out of the forest and walked slowly over to a secluded body of water that was closed in by large oak trees. The albino would always come down here to think and to avoid. He would sit here for hours and be undisturbed because if someone wanted to find him they would have to cross the small forest and most of the kids there rather drink and mess around then go hiking through a bundle of trees. Once Near even fell asleep by the lake listening to the wave's crash against the shore. But he made sure not to do that again.

The water was extremely clean and was full of life making Near want to jump in. But he still had a fear of water that forced him not to. It happened when he was still in high school when one of the boys thought it would be funny to dunk him under the water for more than the appropriate time. He woke up in the Nurse's office later that day.

A bird let out a cry as it flew into the water then dove out with a fish in its beak. The feathers were a deep red and it disappeared into the clouds.

'It looks like a Scarlet Ibis…'

Near laid on his back with his eyes shut letting the noises of the ecosystem lull him to sleep.

Xoxoxo

"Matt have you seen Near at all?" Mello asked letting his eyes search around the campus.

"No Mello I haven't. Did he run from you again?"

"Maybe…" Mello replied sulking.

"Wow Mels, you need to find him and apologize for all the shit you've done to him when he was little."

Mello stood there, "But I don't know where he is."

"Did you check his dorm?"

"Yes."

"Library?"

"Yes. And the lunchroom, all the classrooms he has, and all around campus."

"…."

"What?"

"You are just like yourself in Jr. high. Always stalking the poor boy, knowing exactly where to go," Matt chuckled, "I swear I'm surprised he never gave you a restraining order… No scratch that I do know why."

"Why?" Mello asked confused.

Matt shook his head as he walked back to his dorm shouting back at Mello, "Go find him and ask him yourself!"

"…. Fine," Mello looked around noting how the sun was just a few minutes from fully going down. He had to find Near before night for fear something or someone might get him.

Mello went through a list of places he already checked till he realized even though he checked the whole campus Near might not be on campus. Worry struck the blond, 'What if someone kidnapped him! Or worse!'

'Okay, okay, calm down Mels. If I were Near and I wanted to get away from people were would I go? ….. THE FOREST!' Mello bolted to the forest dodging branches that were extremely close to hitting him in the face.

He came to a halt when he spotted a white fluff ball under a tree just a few feet from the water. Upon closer inspection he instantly knew it was Near curled up into a ball. Mello examined the boy in the moonlight taking in how innocent and pure he looked as his hand began twirling his white curly lock. The blond snapped back to reality seeing as it was pitch black and there would be predators out lurking for something this untainted like Near.

"Near," He whispered shaking the boy.

"Nnnn," Near turned to the side curling more into himself his tail wrapping around him.

"Near."

"Nnnn not now L," Near groaned padding at his ear.

Mello couldn't help but chuckle when he picked up the boy bridal style and he cuddled into his chest. He began his walk to his dorm sidestepping kids who were drunk or sleeping.

'Wow… It's a no wonder we're known as the party school… Once its night and bars open we're out.'

Once they made it to Mello's dorm he placed Near on his bed.

"Good night," Mello whispered rubbing Near's cat ears.

"Mmm… Mello," Near purred his hands shooting out and gripping Mello's shirt.

Mello froze his heart beating faster as Near tugged him foreword beside him.

"Mello," He repeated pressing his body against Mello's as though he were a stuffed doll.

He felt heat reaching his cheeks when Near began pressing a kiss on Mello's chest, "N-Near?"

Black eyes snapped open he released his grip and pushed himself away, "So-sorry!"

"Near it's okay—"

Near scooted back his tail shot straight up as he fell off the side of the bed. Mello rushed to the side quickly to make sure he was okay. Near was lying on his back, knee up, ears bent back along with his tail lying lifelessly on the ground, and face flushed clearly from embaressment.

"Near! You okay?"

"Y-yeah." No.. No he was not. He was dreaming of his crush as one of his stuffed dolls that he slept with and couldn't help but kiss back the doll. Unknowingly to him he did that in reality.

'Oh megatron Mello must want to kick me out.'

"Sorry," Near muttered getting up quickly.

"Near it's fi—" Mello was interrupted as Matt opened their dorn door announcing he was there.

"Mello! Let's go get some drinks! I hear Lance is having a party at his dorm!"

Near took the time Mello was distracted to run out the door.

"Bye Matt-san."

"Near!" Mello shouted, "Damn it!"

"Ne-Near?" Matt said confused, "Mel what happ—"

"Not now Matt, help get Near before someone rapes him!"

Near used all his power to keep running and not look back. He couldn't believe he just did that in front of Mello!

'He must hate me!' Near stopped by a bench pulling at his hair completely overwhelmed with unwelcomed emotions, "He must really hate my guts."

"Well whoever that person is, he's one big idiot."

Near whipped around and looked at the figure in front of him.

TBC

Will Mello and Matt get Near before something happens to him. Where's L? And who's this man. Find out in the next chapter.
