I need some healing-deathnote-near stuff for that pls :( So how do you think near would act if his gf explain how bad she has it at home?
Hello Dearest Tem. I’m really sorry. 🖤
She sat with her legs criss-cross in the middle of Near’s Lego fort and stared at the shiny hardwood floor, tracing her fingers along the seams. She was beginning to understand the false sense of security the plastic walls afforded him in his daily work. Even though the safety wasn’t real, the feeling was. To be surrounded by things that were more than familiar objects designed for a child’s entertainment. They were friends that couldn’t choose to leave him behind. They were the family that couldn’t be taken away or destroyed.
They were the one thing Near had complete control over, things that couldn’t let him down or hurt him without his permission.
What is it like to not be let down or hurt by the ones you love?
Near carefully climbed into the fortress, stepping within its faux walls and crouching down next to her. “Are you ok? I don’t think I have ever seen you sitting in here without me.”
“I just…I can’t do anything right, not when it comes to my family.” She tucked her legs up to her chest and hugged them tightly, burying her face in her knees.
“What do you mean?” Near couldn’t remember what it was like to have a family. “How could you ever not be right when you’re with loved ones?”
“The littlest thing I forget…sometimes I don’t have to do anything at all.” Her words were muffled and hinted at the tears she choked back. “It’s bad, Nate. Really bad. I don’t know what to do.”
Softly, he rested his hand between her shoulder blades as he tried to comfort her. “I don’t understand how anyone could be cruel to you, especially someone that loves you.”
“I don’t know. I must be causing it, though.”
“No, you’re incorrect. Sometimes humans act in ways that have no correlation to the situation around them.” He tipped his head down, trying to see her face. “People can hurt those around them because they can’t rectify what is actually bothering them. I would be almost certain you’re not the cause of it. You’re the unfortunate recipient of misdirected anger.”
“That may be true,” she snuffled as she lifted her head, wet eyes stared helplessly at him.
He scooched closer to her and put his arms around her, giving her a sideways hug. “You can always stay here. Whenever you need or want to.”
She turned her body towards his and snuggled against him. “I would like that very much”. She blinked away the remaining tears in her eyes. “Do you think Rester and the others will mind?”
Near flashed her a rare smile. “This is my HQ. I don’t ask permission.”
