Rumination (3/7)

Third instalment in our series of 7 Matt/Mello/Near drabbles written for @dnrarepairweek! :3 Prompts: successors, pining.

Near was left behind.

Rarepair: Matt/Mello/Near Other tags: The Kira Case, Wammy’s House

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

There have been no new enrollments since L and Watari’s deaths. With Matt gone, the room is nobody’s now.

Near often goes there to think.

Sometimes it’s about the Kira case: the clues he is gathering, what he will do to catch Kira.

Sometimes he hugs Mello’s pillow and inhales deeply, imagines he can still smell dark chocolate. Once or twice, he does the same with Matt’s, which has kept the scent of cold tobacco.

Sometimes he pictures different things. L not dead, Mello still here, Matt still glued to him, Near creeping in-between the two of them and staying.

#death note #death note fic #dnrarepairweek25 #mattmellonear #nearlymellodramattic #saltposting #saltwriting #series: MMN drabbles #Honestly so exciting to be posting these we've sat on them for SO long. And we're not even halfway through yet!!! :3c #Also I'm grumpy because our brain hit an information processing wall today and I want to continue reading everyone else's fics #like NOW. But I can't do that because -- well I feel a little better now after dinner but I think I need to give our brain a rest tbh dfhds #bedtime is so soon and I really need to like. Defrag for a while.#Can't even be mad because some of that is that I spent TWO HOURS today closely proofreading half of a HUGE chapter in empire #and then slightly less closely proofreading the other half + the following chapter #and like. Honestly I think we really need that rewrite to smooth out some of our difficulties with chapter 7. And it's been nice to revisit #like it's actually a lot less Chasm of Horrible than we were anticipating. Flows together pretty nicely should be even better post-beta #but this has nothing to do with our drabbles at this point I'm just sleepy rambling about our other writing dhfgsdh #Anyway yeah. Bedtime soon EXCITED THOUGH. And thinking about it #perhaps reading more fic can happen tomorrow... not 100% on it due to we have therapy AND cooking AND errand AND book club #and I think that's already going to be a stretch for our spoons tbh. Like I hope we have some spares (and priority to our own writing)#but if we don't well. We don't. The fics will still be there later and etc (< guy who is trying very hard to convince himself)#ANYWAY I'm hitting post now sure I'm using my indoor voice but it's still enough rambling in the tags.
