A/N: Okay I decided to make all the chapter in Mello's POV mostly cuz that would make things so much easier and you peoplez can know what the little devil is thinking.
The small kid from before ran outside, his oversized pajamas tripping him every few steps. I watched him as he clumsily made his way around the garden. His skin seemed so bright and full of color (mostly his cheeks). His eyes were glowing. I had to admit that I did like his silver-ish eyes. However I absolutely hated it when they seemed completely black and emotionless. Luckily his eyes were rarely black anymore. I wonder why….
"Chocoholic…?!"
His small squeaky and worried voice startled me. I focused again and saw he was looking around anxiously. Sheesh… It was so hard to play hide and seek with this kid.
I shifted my position to sit more comfortably on the tree branch.
CRACK
My eyes widen. No! Don't brea—
I heard a small gasp and felt a sharp pain on the back of my head.
"Ow…" I sat up brushing the leaves and twigs off me. "Damn tree…" I stuck my tongue out at its direction.
"C-Chocoholic…!!"
I turned around and noticed the 'white sheep' running toward me. He sat next to me and stared at me worried.
"Are you okay, Mister Choco-ho—" I cut him off putting two fingers on his lips.
"Stop calling me that." I snapped withdrawing back my hand to my side. "I am not a chocoholic… I can quit any time I want…"
He giggled softly. I smiled.
"I found you--…" His eyes widen a bit and he bit his lip. "U-uh… what's your name?"
I stared at him. I hadn't told him my name? Really…? Well I had just met the kid yester day and we only hung out for a few minutes before Roger started having a bitch fit telling me to go to my room.
I never got a chance to ask 'Name, please...?' (yes... I am polite from time to time...)
"Miha—" I stopped myself. I can't believe I'd almost forgotten Wammy's most important rule!! 'Never give out your real name.' I sighed and whispered. "Mello."
He leaned closer to me, his mouth slightly opened.
"What?" I backed away a bit.
"Meadow?" He squeaked.
"What?! When the hell did I say my name was Meadow?!"
"O-oh… that's what I heard." His pink lips formed into a small pout.
I rolled my eyes and turned away from him making sure my hair could cover my face and hide the blush. I curse whoever allowed such a… dangerous… child to me so damn cute. I smiled at the thought.
"I said M-E-L-L-O." I said, louder this time, turning to him.
He was smiling. "Oh. I am N-E-A-R."
I half closed my eyes and stared at him a bit annoyed. "Near?"
"Near." He repeated with a short nod.
"Sounds stupid."
His eyes became teary. "S-stup-pid?" He stuttered.
"U-uh! I didn't mean…" I trailed off.
"Nate River!"
--
I shot upright. My eyes were wide, my breathing heavy and my hands gripped the sheets tightly. I looked around the darkness of my room. The only source of light was that of Matt's PSP. He must have fallen asleep playing again.
I took a deep breath and laid back.
Nate River.
I mouthed the name, breathing out slowly. Calming down a bit.
Near.
My eyes narrowed.
What was so different from the two names? They still belonged to the same person… The same stupid… pathetic… ignorant… selfish… adorable… little sheep…
I took grip of my hair wanting to rip it from its roots for just thinking of him that way!!
He wasn't adorable. He was ugly. He was stupid. He was so…
I stood up and walked out the room and headed toward the bathroom. I didn't bother to turn the light on. I just went over to the sink and turn on the cold water. I cupped some in my hands and splashed on my face.
"I hate you Near…" I mumbled. "I… … … Nate River…"
