005 - Near & Mello - [Accidental Video / In Person] - Fluffball for sale!

[whitestlie]

(ooc: Blue is Near, Red is Mello.)

[The video clicks on with static.]

Can I take your picture?

[If you guys haven't heard enough fangirl screams for a day, have some MOAR! Little by little, the static clears up, but the video is shaky, panning from feet to ceiling to the ground to a fluffball pajama-clad boy to more feet as his blackberry gets kicked

[[L, hiding out in what looks like a nice, quiet room for once. He's wearing a red hooded jacket, hood obviously pulled up around his telltale hair even if he is slouching even while he's got his knees pulled in and the communicator set on his knees.

He's half amused, half not amused, but he's staying neutral in face as usual to the two boys. Perhaps if he's lucky they'll actually bond over th-- who's he kidding? Sigh.

He's too young to have kids. Rather, too irresponsible at least- so he thinks.]]

Mello.
Please refrain from selling Near in the immediate or far future.

I was just joking [Mello mumbles under his breath. Even if it hadn't started as a joke, it was now. Though he is a bit disappointed, he could have gotten a decent amount of chocolate and gotten his rival off his hands in one fell swoop.]

It's not like the author wouldn't have just given him back, anyway.

[whitestlie]

Then Mello should not make baseless assumptions.

[[L feels as though he may have a headache coming on in any moment. However, again, his face is devoid of such things.]]
Be that as it may, Mello, we can't be sure.

[[And now to play Quillish to the other one as well.]]
Near, I'd ask you don't exacerbate the situation.

[Private]
It's fortunate I found you both together anyway. I need your cooperation.
[[He looks around as though he's studying, there was a movement, noise, and he's not ready to be discovered again. It was horrible the first time.]]

I need you both to stay together, this could be bad for us with so many opportunities for potential new or old enemies. [[He looks back at the communicator, his thumb pressing his lip over just a bit while he again checks, this time it's probably just paranoid reaction, then back to the communicator again.]]

I understand how you two are competitive, however, this needs to be undertaken for all our safety. Understood? It would only be until we confirm this isn't going to be used against us in strategy.

[Mello does not like this idea. He has a different way of doing things than Near and he has full confidence in himself that he could wiggle out of any tight spot he'd get into in this place. Near could fucking fend for himself for once. Or not. It shouldn't have to be Mello's problem. The kid hadn't even been able to get away from his squealing fangirls lets not even get into WHY Near has fangirls in the first placeMello, on the other hand, is proud to announce he gave his own fangirls the slip quite successfully

[whitestlie]

[Mello started it.

At least that's what he would have said had L not suggested cooperation, which meant a victory for Near at least. Well, sort of. If Mello's going to continue acting the way he's been, then Near's not so sure if it could really be considered a victory.

Nevertheless, without some sort of disguise, he can't navigate the convention on his own, so having Mello around would still be useful.]

I'm not so sure it's a matter of safety [After all, these people seem to know them already. What's the point in pretending otherwise.] so much as irritation and stupidity [Yes, that's how highly Near thinks of you silly convention go-ers].

As for our cooperation, I'm perfect willing to accept it.

[There's almost, almost an undertone of triumph there.]

[thumbonmylip]

[[L reminds himself to thank Mello later for not blowing up about it, even if he does warn Near on the side that they're not 'working together'. That's fine, as long as they are together. His eyes slide from Mello down to where Near is in the picture.]]

That is not the common enemy I was referring to, Near. The cooperation is appreciated, stay diligent- both of you.
