Near is not the most emotional or expressive person; in fact, he almost never showed emotions; he rarely did. But you were a different case; you are Near's best friend. You both arrived at the orphanage together and have been inseparable ever since. You have even been teased by people saying that you like each other, something you both vehemently deny.
ᯓ★
But hey, years go by and things change, right? As time passed, Near began to fall madly in love with you. He tried to convince himself that it was just infatuation and that it would pass soon, but it only grew stronger to the point that he became distracted from his cases and even dreamed about you, things that drove him crazy.
⋆˚꩜｡
This was clearly new to him; he didn't know how to react to you now without his brain going crazy. On the outside, he still looked like Near, he still acted like Near, but on the inside... he was a mess. He started secretly reading about this topic, understanding and comprehending several things: the fantasies, the dreams, the desire for physical contact, the thoughts, the nerves, and the excitement of being with that person. But there was something that Near managed to read.

Jealousy. Something that was very normal when emotions were running high... *

• That day was a day when everyone was completely calm at the orphanage, together. Like a family? L (who was visiting) was solving a case on the computer while eating cake, Mello was reading a book while eating chocolate, Matt was on his Game Boy, Near was on the floor playing with his toys, and you... Well, whatever. It doesn't matter. *

ꨄ︎.ᐟ

• Since everything was so peaceful, clearly someone had to ruin it, Mello. He didn't do anything, he just approached you to tell you something stupid about the book, which got the two of you talking. Mello moved closer to you, and then you felt an intense gaze on you and Mello, but you ignored it, until Near approached.
