Something You Want
Characters/Pairings: Mello/Near. But very Mello-centric.
Warnings: None
Summary: For his entire life, Mello has always been second.
Comments: A very nicely-done fic that I think did a very good job of capturing Mello. His first meeting with Near was perfect.
   ”Mello hated Near.
   From the first time he watched him work, slow and deliberate and exact, it made the blonde want to scream. His process was perfect. Coldly perfect and it pissed Mello off to no end.
   Mello could come to the same conclusion at the same time, but his would never be as praised, as revered. His work had scratches and tests and abandoned hypothesizes. It was right, but somehow not good enough, and he hated it.”
One-shot, complete.
