A Mello/Near -ficcie
Well... My first atempt to write anything that has something to do with Death Note. Juts wanted to write something and this idea popped into my mind. Near is hard to write so I took the easiest way and wrote this in Matt`s POV, because Matt rules. ^^
Title: Wipe That Smile off Your Face
Rating: PG-13... I think...
Paring: Mello/Near.. or Near/Mello... whatever... and If you wanna see it like it, slight Matt/Mello
Summary:When they were still at Wammy`s, he had watched how Near and Mello were always competing.
They had said it was all about rivalry and hate.
Matt knows better.
Warnings: Well, everything that includes Mello, Matt and Near, Mello and Matt`s names and so on...
A/N: It`s in Matt`s POV because Matt is cool guy and I think he would have said those things to Mello and Near, he is like that. ^^ So, my first fic in english and first one in Death Note. Do not kill me. ^^ And this is beta-read by beloved bitenshi_591 I trust her, but if you still see some errors in there, please point them out, thanks. ^^
Wipe that Smile off your face
When Mello stops talking, Matt doesn`t look up from his game.
“You sure?”
“Of course I am”, Mello hisses back and Matt snorts. His level 23 pokémon just missed level 3 pokémon. Oh, fuck, this is just great. Mello is still talking but he is not listening anymore.
“Are you listening?” Mello throws a walkie-talkie at him.
“No. What`s the point? I can’t say anything when you’re sure about it.”
Silence.
“Or can I?”
“No.”
Matt snorts again and Mello lets out a sigh.
“There is one `but`...”
Now Matt stops playing his game. There are never `buts` in Mello`s plans, unless, they include him. Never ever Mello considers him as a part of the plan, he is always `the but`, but Matt doesn`t mind. He knows it`s all because Mello cares.
“So, what am I gonna do?”
Matt watches as Mello just sits there and refuses to look at him. The blond even refuses to eat a chocolate bar which is now laying on the table.
“Mello?”
“You know, I am gonna die?”
“...yes, I am not that stupid. If you really intent to kidnap Takada, you will get killed by Kira... somehow. They know your name, after all. Takada has connections between Kira and second Kira and if Takada gets kidnapped, they have to get rid off her and when they do-“
“Matt, you talk too much.”
Silence.
“So, what am I gonna do?”
“Help me kidnap Takada. You’ll cause a chaos and I kidnap Takada.”
“...”
“I don`t want you to get killed.”
“I am taking the risk.”
“Idiot.”
Matt watches as Mello continues his sulking.
“It`s about Near, isn`t it?”
Mello doesn`t look up. Matt gets up from his chair. Matt knows what it is all about, though, Mello usually transforms it in to that stupid pride-thing.
“When I die... Near will... he will...”
“Kira will lose.”
Mello laughs a little. It’s a forced laugh.
“If you say so.”
“Or is it better to say, you lose? Your fucking pride will get a hard hit?”
Mello glares at him and Matt glares back.
“Fuck you, Matt.”
“Fuck you too.”
It is all about Near. Matt was the third place in Wammy`s list of becoming the next L for nothing. When they were still at Wammy`s, he had watched how Near and Mello were always competing. There had never been a good `enemy` to take Mello`s place from the first place. But then Near had come to Wammy`s and everythig had changed. Near got the number one spot and Mello the second. And no one had ever gotten Mello so pissed off.
They had said it was all about rivalry and hate.
Matt knows better. He walks to Mello and pats the boys head. Mello yelps.
“You know... if you die, you are gonna do it.”
Mello looks puzzled. Matt smiles a little.
“The promise you made to Near.”
Matt watches as Mello realizes. Mellos eyes widen and the boy looks so... hurt? No, Mello is terrified.
“You know, you already did it once.”
Mello doesn`t ask, he lets Matt speak.
“When you left Wammy`s, you know. And if you die now, you are definitely gonna wipe that smile off his face.”
********
Mello storms out off the room and Matt doesn`t get up from his chair until he hears the door slam. Then he lets the control drop onto the floor and he’s by the window. It`s raining and Mello is making his way trough the yard. Matt doesn`t cry. He knows he will miss the blond, oh God, how he is going to miss the boy.
The door lets a noise and Matt turns around. There is a little white haired boy in the door way. He doesn`t dare to come inside. Matt smiles.
“Near.”
“He left, didn`t he?”
Matt nods. There is something missing in Near`s always so unemotional eyes.
“You ok?”
“Why wouldn`t I be?”
Matt lets out a snort and walks back to his games. Near just stands there. Matt never actually hated the boy but when you are Mello`s best friend, you must take a little distance from Near. But it didn`t stop him talking to Near or anything. He knows Near, of course he knows. He also wants to take L`s place some day. Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer. And there is something missing.
“Wanna come in?”
Near doesn`t say a thing, just lets the door shut down by itself and waddles next to the sofa and slumbers on the floor. Matt watches as Near begins to curl his hair.
“You know, you are not the only one who is gonna miss him?”
“He is gonna make a contact with you someday.”
“Of course he is.”
Silence and Matt begins to play. They just sit there, Matt playing and Near watching. It`s kinda rare, but no one dares to interrupt them. It`s all because Mello has left. Because they no more have some one to turn to. Now they only have each other. The third piece of the puzzle is missing.
---------
The few next weeks were like hell, to both of them. Matt had no one to rant about his games and Near had no one to sneer at. They were both lonely, Matt noticed. Roger noticed that, too, but Matt noticed something else.
Near never smiled to anybody anymore. Well, Near never smiled much, but now, there was nothing. Not a kind smile or anything, not even the smug little evil grin, nothing. There weren`t lights in Nears eyes either. And Matt knows why there isn`t.
“You know... Mello would be proud of himself, if he could see you now.”
Near lets a piece of a puzzle drop but soon it`s in its place like nothing had happened, but Matt noticed. He squads down besides Near.
“You miss him?”
“And you don`t?”
Matt lets out a little laugh and turns his Game Boy Color on.
“You like him? Like... not as an enemy or a friend but mor-“
“Mello has never been my enemy.”
“Oh, he says something else.”
“He is the one who takes me as an enemy, not me.”
Matt just struggles it off and smiles. “So, what is he to you, if not an enemy?”
Near doesn`t answer.
“And still he has so much influence on you, you know. You have never sneered at me or even looked at me with that stupid little smug grin of yours but when Mello was around, oh boy, you would do all that.”
“I have always known that you are not stupid.”
“I know that too.”
His Pikachu loses. Fuck.
“He is... like a friend to me.”
“I know he is more.”
********
Mello just looks at him and he says nothing.
“My face is awful, isn`t it?”
Matt just stares down at him and grins. “You have seen better days.”
Mello growls and tries to get off the bed. Matt pushes him down.
“Oh, you fucker! Let me see my face!”
“Not until your wounds are healed and you calm down.”
“I AM calm!”
“Oh fuck you are.”
Then Mello lets out a yelp as Matt hugs him, hard.
“Ow, Jesus, Matt!”
“I missed you so much.”
“...you little pussy.”
Matt laughs and lets the other boy go. Mello smiles too. He doesn`t try to get up anymore. There are tears in Matt`s eyes.
“Wow, man! Don`t cry!”
“I just thought I would lose you... like for good!”
“Stupid, not like this way. I will go for good like... with a big crash and much drama!”
“And that wasn`t big and dramatic enough!?”
Mello laughs but his laugh turns into a cough. Matt offers a glass of water.
“Drink if you can.”
And Mello can.
“You know, Near missed you too.”
Mello is about to choke into his water and Matt just laughs. He laughs so much it hurts and Mello hits him, hard.
“Oww!”
“You fucker...” Mello murmurs and Matt smiles.
“It`s true, he missed you too.”
“Like he could miss anyone.”
“He missed you. You know, I think he even helped... no, he let me hack into SPK`s database to get the info about that Mafia hideout.”
Mello says nothing, he doesn`t even look at him anymore. “He is just a bitch, that Near.”
Matt just shakes his head. Oh fuck, why are they both so stubborn?
“That saved your life, you know.”
*********
Matt is watching the news, when Mello rushes into the room and slams the door shut. Matt just turns the voice off.
“So you got your photo back?”
There is a growl and Mello tosses the photo on the table. Matt looks at it. Mello looks so... small. Not innocent. Mello has never been innocent, Matt could tell. And that little evil smile of Mello`s is all you need to see to know Mello hasn`t been innocent, not even in the age of six.
“He didn`t even look at me!”
Matt watches as Mello stomps around the room and moves stuff around. One of Matt`s boxes, which is full of games, comes crashing down from the table, when Mello hits it.
“He was like I wasn`t there! Just playing with his fucking toys!”
“And that bothers you because...?”
Mello growls and Matt knows Mello will hit him at any given moment.
“He is just like... like I am not worth of it!”
“Well, he believed what you told about Shinigamis and stuff?”
“Well, yeah, but that`s not the point!”
“So, it`s your pride again.”
A plate with some left-over food crashes onto the wall just behind Matt`s head.
Matt doesn`t blink. Mello growls and sits down.
“He just... he was like he was the only one worth of in this Kira case. Like I am not. Like... fuck, I am like a tool to him to just to use! Like some fuckin chess figure! Fuck, he should have looked at me!”
Matt ignores Mello`s rant about being a tool.
“He didn`t look at you, because he is scared.”
Mello laughs. “Well, that`s good, because he should be.”
Matt snorts.
“It`s not about that he is scared of you like an enemy.”
Mello glares.
“And since when have you become so good at analyzing humans?”
“Since when I got the third place.”
Mello glares and Matt glares back. Matt looks away first and takes the photo. It says “dear Mello” on the back.
“Since when have you two been `dears` to each other?”
Mello doesn`t answer.
“He is scared because he might lose his control and show you how much you mean to him.”
“Fuck you Matt.”
Matt knows why it bothers Mello so much. Mello has always wanted something from Near. Some true feeling. Some acception. Some... love?
Matt knows why Near refused to look at Mello. Near was afraid of emotions. He can`t feel anything or everything will go down and Kira will win. Mello and he have a part in this game and Near is afraid of that.
Mello takes the photo back and mumbles something that Matt doesn`t get. Mello is so pissed off. Matt smiles and knows they will die.
*********
Matt knows it`s all about love and hate. Hate and love are so close to each other, just like Mello and Near. They have always said, it`s hate, they hate each other. But on the other hand, no one else has ever got so much emotions out of Near than Mello and Near is the only one, who gets Mello pissed off most. Was it love?
Maybe. Matt was 60 % sure it was.
Matt is back in reality when a motorbike slows down and stops besides his red and shiny car. Mello takes the helmet off his head.
“You sure about this?”
“As sure as you are.”
Mello nods and sighs. Matt watches his best friend. Mello looks tired, even sad.
“He is gonna miss you, you know.”
“I know.”
Matt blinks his eyes. He has been ready for some “Don`t start with that shit again” but that Mello knows?
“What?”
Mello smiles oddly. “You know, I am gonna miss him too, if I die now, which is likely going to happen.”
“...You can back out...” Matt knows it`s useless. They can not back down, but he wants to hear it from Mello.
“No I can’t.” Mello turns to look at him. There is something in other boy`s eyes that terrifies Matt somehow.
“Unless I do this...”
Matt waits something about Kira, winning and losing, and some shit pride stuff, but he is taken aback, again.
“...Near will die.”
Now it`s 99% and Matt knows, it`s too late.
***********
Lidner`s voice is so weak, so... horrified.
“I`m sorry.”
Women know these things, Near is sure.
“I never thought Mello would...”
He must keep his cool, he can`t let his emotions get through, not now. The news tell about the man, who had been shot dead but not identified yet. Near knows that red car.
“No, it`s ok.”
He curls his hair little too tight.
“Problem solved.”
He must stay focused. He can`t let Light get anything about this, that Yagami can`t start suspecting anything. He must stay calm and concentrate in the meeting.
When no one is watching, he hides his face. Mello-doll is in his finger and it`s shaking.
“Thank you.”
**********
He watches as Light tries to get away. Oh, that is not gonna happen, that little shit (like Mello would have said) is gonna pay. He is so angry but he tries not to show it. He doesn’t not look up, doesn’t look at his companions, Light or the the rest of the investigation team, he doesn`t look up.
“I owe this to Mello.”
He glares at Light when he explains everything, he is angry, but he keeps his cool. He is Near, he doesn`t show his emotions.
He doesn`t look up when Lidner tells about the call. Mello was not stupid, Near knows that. But Mello had such a big ego, that it kept them from working together. That fucking pride of Mello`s kept them from being together.
Near was like a machine, he had no emotions. Mello was like a wild beast, he lacked the calm Near had. Near lacked the aggressiveness that Mello possessed. What a great pair they could have been.
It is the last time when Near smiles like that. He smiles so smugly. Oh God, he grins like he used to grin at Mello, when Light confesses. Fuck you criminal, he owes this to Mello.
*********
Watari watches as Near eats chocolate. It`s not so weird anymore, but first it was. It`s not weird anymore that Near sometimes would ask a cigarette, either. Watari doesn`t understand that, because Near never smokes it. He just sits and then gives the cig back. Geniuses are weird.
There is a little cross hanging on the wall. There is no fotos. Only two names.
Mihael Keehl and Mail Jeeves.
Watari knows who the Keehl boy was, but Mail? He has never heard of him. He watches as Near asks a cig. Maybe it has something to do with that. But Watari doesn`t ask. He knows he won`t get an answer.
The End
And that is it. ^^ Hope you like it as much as I do.
I personally like Matt/Mello somewhat more, because they are easier to write than Mello/Near. ^^' Near is the hard one, but I love Mello/Near too. It`s so.. obvious! Looove it. <3

I personally like Matt/Mello somewhat more, because they are easier to write than Mello/Near. ^^' Near is the hard one, but I love Mello/Near too. It`s so.. obvious! Looove it. <3
