I Never Told You What I Do For A Living (Near)

[Mello]

"I didn't plan to be caught. I planned to be dead." he answered coolly, leaning against the front of his cell

[Near]

"W-what do you mean?" He looked a little shocked.

[Mello]

"I planned to die. L spoiled it." he said with a pout, hugging his knees.

[Near]

"Why did you want to die? And......how did L spoil it?" Near got closer to his cell.

[Mello]

"L's pawn stopped me just before I burned to a crisp."

[Near]

"Why did you want to die......?" His face saddend. (sp?)

[Mello]

"I didn't, particularly."
He noticed Near's expression, and quirked an eyebrow.
"Would you have missed me?"

[Near]

"........" Near looked into B's eye's for a minute or so. He couldn't tell if he meant it, or toying with his emotions.

[Mello]

B gazed back, head tilted to one side

[Near]

"......I........-" Near looked away. He had to admit.....B was good at acting.

[Mello]

B hugged his knees to his chest like a small child.
"Do you hate me now, then?"

[Near]

".......I never said that......." He muttered, he didn't really know how he felt about B. He was terrified about what he did, and where he wound up.

[Mello]

B watched his reaction with interest. Perhaps he'd snared the little rabbit after all.

[Near]

Near sighed and sat in a chair close to B's cell.

[Mello]

B leant up against the clear front, pressing his body against it like a squashed fly.
"How is L?"
