A/N: I have to WARN everyone that this is the result of somebody who has just woken up at around; so if you find like a lot of spelling mistakes and it doesn't make any sense well...it's not my fault :P

Chapter 1

It was the morning before Near's Birthday. Everybody was happily eating there breakfast...well all except Mello, when a call came in for Near.

(RINGGG-RINGGGG—RINGGG!—telephone)

''Hello?''

Mello glared at Near from across the table watching the child talk on the phone. Mello listened intently as he shoved a spoonful of coco puff into his mouth, chewing rather loudly. Matt who was sitting right next to him, looked up from his PSP, temporarily pausing his game to say.

''Mel, really do you like, have a grudge against the cereal or something?'' Matt received a glare from his friend as he whipped his view back to his game.

The reason that Mello was staring at Near from afar was because that it would be Near's birthday tomorrow, the day that all of stupid Wammys seises to stop what they are doing just to lavish attention on him, in the form of gift, cake and more gifts. Poor Mello was lucky enough to get a 'Happy birthday' from anyone whenever it was his. It made his blood boil seeing that people favoured Near more than him in such an unfair manner.

''Oh-thank you—I appreciate you calling'' Near chirped on the phone as he curled the phone cord.

This year would be the worst; because the kid was turning 13. A big number at Wammys—most of them get adopted at the ages of 4-10, the remaining kids here were considered legends, well in Mello's point of view 'Gods'...So being the eldest, it was only normal for him to want to be dominate over Near.

Well this year; it's going to be different, hell yeah it is!—this year even Near wouldn't expect it...

'' I do wish that you will attend- oh you would! - That's wonderful!'' Near tried to sound excited to the best of his ability. Mello just lounged there loathing Near intensely as he strangled his spoon, hearing the fuss that was splitting out of the phone; he couldn't take it no more.

'' JESUS THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!''

Mello sprung up, giving Matt a shock as his goggles slid from his head over his eyes

''Whoa!''

''I CAN'T TAKE THIS SHIT NO MORE!''

''huh?-wha-take what''

But before Matt could receive an answer, he saw Mello darting away in one direction as cursing could be heard from the hall.
