Matt of course sat in front on the tv playing on his gaming counsel. You wanted to watch him for awhile. You wanted to forget about what happened with near. But that's not possible. Mello angrily ate his chocolate bar. He was probably still mad about what near did. You couldn't even imagine what he would do if you told me he kissed you... Mello was over protective. Matt on the other hand wasn't. He really didn't care about what you did or said. And he didn't mind Near. It seemed the Blonde really hates him.

"Hey um you-" you began to comment but Mello interrupted you. "You shouldn't go by him anymore." He bit into his bar of chocolate. You blushed looking down."why?" Mello narrowed his eyes. "He's creepy, boring and annoying. Shouldn't that be enough a reason enough?" You shook your head. "First of all he's not any of those things. And second of all why do you hate him so much? What did he ever do to you?" You glared at him. He returned the glare and continued with his chocolate not saying anything.

"Why don't you let (f/n) do what she wants to do?" You both heard Matts voice from the couch. "I like that idea." You nodded grinning at Mello's irritated face. "Fine. But I'm just warning you." He shrugged and rolled his eyes in annoyance. You decided to leave their room. Your hopes in forgetting about the situation didn't work. You looked both ways making sure he wasn't there. Relived you made your way down the halls to your room. You flipped on the switch and sighed seeing what was in front of you. A giant card tower. It resembled Big Ben. It really did amaze you but you were pretty used to it by now.

"Near are you in here?" You asked scanning your bedroom. You didn't want the tower to fall so you stayed in the front of your room. No answer came you decided he wasn't. You were about to leave when you noticed a small note lodged into your door handle. Your eyes widened in surprise as you took it and read down the piece of paper  it read..

Hello (f/n). I noticed you have been acting particular again. You don't have to avoid me. I was merely doing you a favor. There is no need to be upset. If you would like to talk you can come to my  room. If your not there by three days I expect you would not like to see me again. I understand your thoughts and questions. Do what you think is right

-Near

You crinkled the paper into a ball and shoved it in your pocket.

Why is he making this such a big deal. He could of told me this in person. You frowned while in thought. Could he like me too? Nah he couldn't. You left the room shutting the door as slowly as possible hoping the card tower wouldn't drift apart. For once it actually kind of felt he wasn't even at Wammy's. Everywhere you went you didn't see his white mop of hair.

Is he hiding from me now? Only one way to find out.

You nervously bit your lip and decided to walk towards the albinos room. Am I crazy for liking him a little?? You didn't really know what to expect but you stopped at the brown door to his room. It opened before you even had the chance to knock. The boy in front of you twisted his hair with his finger and kind of smirked at you. You gave a half surprised look as you have never seen him show more than a straight bored face.

"I've been awaiting your arrival." He spoke looking straight into your (e/c) eyes. His eyes were like black clouds. They almost seemed like they stared into your soul. You gulped and laughed a little. "how did you know." He turned and walked into his room grabbing your hand . "Your not hard to read." He stated offering you to sit. You couldn't help it. Your face was like a apple. Pure red.

"May I ask you a question (f/n)?" He asked obviously noticing your pink cheeks. "Um I guess." You replied a little scared at what he might ask.

"Do you actually like me?" He asked looking up at you. His finger still intertwined with his ghost like curls.

Even if I did tell him he probably wouldn't care... It would be so awkward. You thought looking away.

"Yes I do like you. Your my friend after all." You managed a smile at him. You were pretty happy at your word choice. It wasn't like he asked you if you had a crush on him.

His face darkened a little as he pulled out a die. He turned it all around revealing all the different dots. "I didn't mean it in that way. You and I both know that." He said holding the die in his palm tightly causing little bruises to form on his snow like skin.

Why can't he just get over it? So what if I like him?! What's he going to do about it?!

"Fine.. I like you." You replied feeling extremely embarrassed. "I was hoping you'd say that. I like you to (f/n)." Near said rolling the dice around his fingers. You stared at him In disbelief. "But why?" You asked hoping his answer wouldn't be something like 'I'm just giving you what you want' but his answer wasn't even close to that.

"Because your the first person to actually take interest in me. And I find you very interesting and beautiful..." He seemed to get quieter when saying the last sentence. It made you grin and blush again. You decided to do something you didn't think you would do to him.

You leaned towards him and pressed your lips onto his soft ones. He pulled away a little acting a little confused.

"I'm sorry but I don't know how to do this." You swear you saw a dash of pink on his cheeks. You laughed at him. "You don't have to know how." And with those words you pulled him in again. This time he didn't pull away. He didn't kiss you back much but you didn't mind. It just felt so good to finally spill your emotion to him and actually be accepted. The kiss didn't last to long before he pulled away again and looking out of breath. You giggled at him.

He's so adorable. Nows my chance to really tell him.

"Your so adorable." You grinned at him ruffling his hair. He looked at you with a glare. "I am not." You smirked back at him. "If you could read me so well then you would know if I was lying or not. And I'm not just saying that." He frowned. "Even if you are serious please don't call me that. I don't like it." This caused you to giggle even more. You noticed he was still holding the dice.

"Um near?" You asked feeling uncomfortable again because he wasn't returning any feelings. "Yes?" He simply replied. "Will you be my boyfriend? Or I mean can we go out um I don't know how to ask...." He raised his head. "I don't know how to answer that. I do like you but I don't know how to be a 'boyfriend." He answered monotonously. "It's fine." You replied slumping your shoulders a bit.

"I have to go to the bathroom Near. I'll be right back." You say hurrying out if the room. He didn't say anything as he reached for a nearby puzzle and dumped it into the ground.

You ran through the hallways to a bathroom and looked at yourself in the mirror. Why would he like me?!! I'm just a normal teenager. I'm not interesting. You thought. Your (h/c) hair was slightly messy from running and your cheeks where a bright pink. I can't believe I kissed him. You thought causing your blush to deepen.

You finally pulled yourself together and walked back to his room. Where is he? You thought stepping into the room. You contained to look until something on the floor caught your eye. You gasped and bent down with your heart beating out of your chest.

It was a beautiful white puzzle in the shape of a heart. A puppet of you and him sat on top of it. Your sight became clouded with tears. They weren't tears of sadness. More like happiness as someone actually loves you. You laid down beside the puzzle with your front side of your facing up. You turned your head towards the puzzle seeing Near lying on the other side of it smiling. He held out his hand. You grabbed his feeling the warmth of his hand rush into yours.

"(F/n)... I may be in love with you." His grey eyes shined.

Somewhere even as deep as those eyes held emotion and secrets all along.
