"How is this even FAIR?!"
Mello's voice echoed in his room, though there was no one to scream at. It was Easter. Everyone got free chocolate on Easter.
Except for Mello. Not this year.
He had snapped and wrecked the whole playroom, breaking all kinds of toys. "It wasn't...my...fault," he exhaled angrily. 'It was all Near's fault. If he wasn't always so goddamn PERFECT....,' he thought as he sat down on his bed and crossed his legs. Sure he still had three more big bars of chocolate. But he COULD have had a two pound solid milk chocolate rabbit. Angered once again, he stood up and yanked on his door, despite the fact he knew Roger had locked it. He turned away for the door and leaned against it, then slid down to sit, his blonde hair trailing after him. Then, as if my some miracle, the door began jiggling. "Mello?" the feather-light voice asked. Mello frowned, but scooted away from the door. It opened, and Near stepped in, then shut the door behind him. In his hand was a purple box. Inside the box was Mello's dream chocolate bunny. "Come to gloat?" Mello hissed. Near rocked back on his heels and twisted a small lock of his white hair around his thin, pale index finger. "No," he answered. "I don't like chocolate, so I wanted to give it to you," he said matter-of-factly and held out the chocolate. Mello was silent. Surely when he moved to take it, Near would yank it back and start chomping down on it...right? "Well, I mean, if you don't want it, I'll give it to Matt or something. I just don't want it to go to waste...," Near added quietly. Mello reached out slowly and took the chocolate, when they heard Roger approaching the door. Mello quickly hid the bunny under his bed as the orphanage supervisor entered. "Near? What are you doing in Mello's room?" he asked. Near continued twisting his hair around his finger. "Mello was apologizing. I think you should give him his chocolate," he answered innocently. "But-," Roger began, but the innocence in Near's eyes stopped him. "Fine," Roger sighed. Mello shot a quick glance at Near as Roger left for a moment, then returned with Mello's (other)chocolate bunny. Near nodded at Mello and Roger before leaving for the playroom.

-An hour later-

Matt and Mello strolled into the playroom, Matt was looking down at his DS as always, his thumbs tapping away and the stylus hitting the screen, and Mello was snapping off pieces of his chocolate rabbit with his teeth. Near put on his usual impassive mask, expecting Mello to stomp on one of the robots he was playing with. "Near, look at me when I'm talking," Mello said. Near silently looked up. Mello was standing over him, but he did not have on a cruel grin as he normally did. "Um, thanks, for earlier, I mean. But, uh, why did you do that?" Mello asked. "I told you, I don't like chocolate," Near murmured. "No, I mean, you said that when you gave me your chocolate, but why did you tell Roger to give me my own, too?" Mello questioned, keeping his tone un-hostile. Near was quiet for a moment, and he began twirling his finger in his hair again. "I don't know. I just wanted to," he finally answered with a shrug, transparent honesty in his voice. Mello blinked. "Well, whatever, thanks," he muttered, and turned for the door, kicking a block out of his way as he exited, Matt following behind him. For some reason, Near's face felt hot. "What?" he mumbled to himself, touching his cheeks. The hell? Was Near...blushing?
