Absence (2/7)

The second instalment in our series of 7 Matt/Mello/Near drabbles written for @dnrarepairweek! :3 Prompt: firsts.

Near misses Mello. So does Matt.

Rarepair: Matt/Near Other tags: Wammy’s House Era (shortly after Mello left), Insomnia

[read on AO3 or below] [series on AO3]

Near can’t sleep, can’t sleep; too much weighs on him. Leaving his room might help.

---

He knocks on the door – only Matt’s door now. Mello will never set foot in these rooms again.

There is no response. He knocks once more.

The sound of footsteps; the door cracks open, a bleary-eyed Matt appears.

‘Wha’re you doing here middle of the night?’

Near’s hand flees to his hair of its own accord, twists a strand. ‘I miss Mello.’ He doesn’t know what else to say; this is the only truth he can word.

Matt’s gaze softens. ‘Hey, me too. Come in?’
