#this took an embarrassingly long time to make

[rius-cave]

Now, I couldn't help myself. Based on the Prison Au you just posted:

Adam sighed as he woke up. Having a bruised rib meant that he was staying in the Med Room for quite some time before he would be let back out. As much pain as he was in, Adam knew it could be worse.

"Finally, caught you alone." Adam had to force himself not to jump when he heard the familiar voice of Lucifer. He turned to see the short blonde man beside him, arms crossed. He didn't look happy. Shit. How did he not see him or hear him?! He shouldn't have fallen asleep!

He remembered all the times Lucifer had emphasized that Adam shouldn't put himself in a position where he could be hurt. And Adam...had disobeyed. Lucifer could be terrifying when he was angry.

"Wait, I was just—Angel Dust was being—" Adam stumbled through his words, trying to explain why he had to protect Anthony, or Angel Dust as he called himself, but Lucifer gave him a look and Adam immediately stopped talking.

"What you did was foolish. Honestly, what were expecting? Valentino has many inmates who work for him. You wouldn't have stood a chance." Adam waited for Lucifer to do something other than talk. Was he going to have his fill? Teach him not to disobey again?

"That being said, I'm proud of you." Adam blinked. What? He looked up to see Lucifer smiling softly at him. "You stood up for someone weaker. Why wouldn't I be proud of that?" Lucifer stepped forward, close enough that Adam could smell the mint on his breath. "Now let me reward you, baby."

Lucifer gently kissed him. It was nothing like the kisses he was used to. These weren't rough or punishing. These were soft and gentle. Caring. Adam moaned when Lucifer threaded his pale fingers through his brown hair, scraping lightly over his scalp.

Lucifer smiled warmly when they finally let go for air. "My good boy. You did so good." Adam moaned at the praise and Lucifer kissed him one last time before letting Adam go.

"Rest up. I won't do anything else until you are completely healed. No bruises."

"Hu?" Adam was still dazed, horny, and his dick hurt in his pants. Lucifer just chuckled. "Why don't you take care of your problem like a good boy for Daddy? Hm?" Adam blushed heavily as Lucifer left. It took Adam an embarrassingly long time for him to realize that no medical staff or guards were in the room while Lucifer was here...

Looks like Lucifer had bribed them for some time....

AAAHHHHH ANON I TYPICALLY ASK PEOPLE NOT TO SEND ME FICLETS THROUGH MY INBOX BUT I'll make an exception for this one

That's so sweet! Hehehe I'm a big fan of leaving Adam high and dry LOL so thank you very much.

Lucifer is genuinely angry that Adam got himself hurt and did that alone, without calling him or waiting for him, but also he cannot stay mad at him for long lol specially after having his realization, and also knowing why Adam did that for

Progression of Near's Character Design

a timeline of all the various changes over the course of manga, plus the C-Kira and A-Kira one-shots :)

#1 - Wammy's House (age 13)

there is only one scene that takes place at Wammy's House, and it’s split across chapters 59 and 61.

the first time we see Near, we only get these side views of him, so it's difficult to comment much on the details of his shirt. however, he looks to be wearing oversized pyjamas. his pants don't seem to be cuffed at the bottom, and there is obvious stitching on the side. his hair is quite short and slightly wavy. this is the only scene in the manga in which he isn't wearing socks.

in chapter 61, his pants are now cuffed at the bottom, in contrast to chapter 59. in this panel, we also get to see his shirt, which is a white button-down with the top button left open. his sleeves are also cuffed and the buttons are undone.

#2 - Meeting the President (age 17)

from chapter 60, the only time in which Near is 17.

in this scene, his outfit looks similar to the one we see him in at Wammy's House, but his button-down shirt is open, revealing an undershirt which did not seem to be present in his previous outfit. his hair appears to be longer.

from this panel, we can also see that his pants are cuffed again, and he is now wearing white socks.

#3 - Mafia Arc (age 18)

this era covers chapters 60-71. after that, he is absent from the story until chapter 75.

the buttons of his shirt are now done up, and in chapter 64, he still appears to be wearing his undershirt beneath it. his hair loses its texture during this period. the design of his pants is fairly inconsistent throughout this arc, regularly alternating between cuffed and uncuffed. he loses the undershirt in chapter 67.

#4 - Near vs Light Arc Part 1 (age 18)

this covers chapter 75 - 79.

in chapter 75, his shirt has a notched collar, a change only seen in this chapter and the warehouse scene. i’ve included a panel from chapter 64 (left) for comparison.

once again, his undershirt is missing, and the texture has returned to his hair. there is also a very subtle change in the design of his nose - it’s rounded and upturned here, whereas earlier in the manga, it has more of a sharp point. it stays rounded from this point onwards.

his shirt changes yet again in chapter 75 here, where a random pocket appears - something that is only present in this panel and another one before it, and never pops up again.

chapters 76-79 show him with his previous collar style and uncuffed pants. the undershirt does not make an appearance in these chapters.

#5 - SPK Raid (age 18)

this part takes place in chapter 80.

this isn't a design choice so much as a plot-necessitated outfit change, but i have to mention his riot squad uniform here as it's the only outfit he wears in the manga that is distinctly different from his usual white pyjamas. i also find it absolutely hilarious how he is a) a foot or so shorter than everyone else on his team, and b) carrying six toys in his arms, and supposedly manages to blend in just fine. (he can’t have been TOO efficient though, because he only has five toys when they get to their new base 😔)

#5 - Near vs Light Arc Part 2 (age 18)

this covers chapters 81-100.

the undershirt has returned! this is present in all chapters during this period except 91.

it looks to me like his hair gets progressively straighter. the panel above (from chapter 93) is one of the clearest examples - comparing this to the picture of him in the president's office from chapter 60, there's definitely less of a distinct wave. his hair just follows the curve of his head.

his pants are uncuffed in every chapter during this arc except 97. the rest of his design features remain quite consistent.

#6 - Ending Scenes (ages 18-19)

this covers chapters 101-108.

the only major change here is that he wears the L mask in chapters 101 and 102 - which, much like his outfit during the raid, is a deliberate choice rather than a minor and potentially random variation in his design. his shirt has a notched collar again and his pants are uncuffed, both of which remain consistent throughout the entire warehouse scene.

despite chapter 108 taking place a year after the main timeline, there are no notable changes in his design.

#7 - C-Kira One-Shot (age 21)

the most notable change here is his hair. it's longer, and in this panel in particular, appears to curl at the ends.

interestingly, in the flashback to Wammy's House, his design also carries this change - the longer hair and slightly curled ends. it’s extremely difficult to tell, but it looks like he may be wearing socks here, which he wasn't when we originally saw him at Wammy's House.

#8 - A-Kira One-Shot (age 27)

once again, his design here has some very notable changes. his hair is much longer, reaching his waist, and has a very obvious wave, with the shorter pieces at the top curling outwards. he appears to be wearing a dark vest over the top of his button-down shirt. the A-Kira one-shot is the only canon text in which he is never shown smiling.

his outfit changes once again here, reverting back to his button-down from canon. it appears that he has grown taller, as his pants no longer reach his ankles. the wave in his hair is even more apparent in this panel. this is also the first time since chapter 61 of the manga where he is not wearing socks.
