Though he tries to hide it, I know Near's as upset about L having those pictures as I am. If only the door hadn't locked me in the room, I would have gotten them and destroyed them before anyone could have seen them. I should have taken care of that as soon as I was out of the room. But, there were more pressing matters.

I'm shaking, struggling against my instincts to go and hurt Ryuzaki, that otaku girl and her friend, and destroy all the photographic evidence.

I add B to the list just because I can.

I could do that, but it wouldn't help Near at all. I don't think he knows what to do with how he feels. He's never been demonstrative before.

But, he did offer release, which I think will help us both regain something resembling perspective.

The offer surprised me, though. I mean, I know he's told me he likes to lose himself under the whip, the intensity, I didn't expect him to actually ask for it so directly.

"You're sure about this?" I ask before I open our bedroom door.

His skin is sore enough that the touch was uncomfortable, but Near didn't protest; despite the discomfort, it was pleasant to feel cared for, looked after. And he knew it would help him heal.

"I like this. The... there's a calm to it." He leans forward a little, stretching his back beneath Mello's touch. "And it makes me feel closer to you."

"Is that more psychology?" He rested his chin on his knees, and smiled at the kiss. "You make it sound almost like a benign Stockholm Syndrome."

"Balance... that's the only thing that makes us make sense, isn't it? You're choleric, I'm phlegmatic." He thought a bit more about that. "Which would make Matt sanguine and Ryuzaki melancholic. We've got the humours covered. Although I won't speculate what A and B would be."

"Galen was one of the fathers of modern medicine. The hard sciences had to evolve from somewhere. And in this place, it makes a lot of sense. The library has a whole section on alchemy, you know. Who knows what esoteric knowledge may prove practical here?"

"It'd probably be easier on the bed." Near leaned back, craning his neck to give Mello a light kiss. "Turn around now so I can rub your shoulders."

"You'll be sore enough with a massage," Near asserts, turning as well. Lifting his hands, he set to work on Mello's shoulders, pressing with his thumbs, feeling for knots. Interesting; caring for is as soothing as being cared for.

"The Ancient Runes teacher?" It was easy to fall into a rhythm, rubbing the hard-worked muscles in Mello's shoulders. "I didn't know you'd talked to him. I wasn't able to tell much about him in class. He seems to have a laissez-faire attitude towards education." He snuck a kiss to the back of Mello's neck. "As long as he hasn't seen the photos as well."

"I suppose I should be thankful towards him, then. You were... upset. And I don't know much about calming you down yet. I should learn, really. I'll need to." He laughed softly. "And I don't care about seeing more. I'm still embarrassed by how public that was, and I'd rather there wasn't evidence floating around."

"Mmmm..." The kiss makes it hard to formulate a reply, and Near rests his head on Mello's shoulder. "It's a bit galling, also... if anyone has a right to see those pictures, it's us."

"It just seems unfair that Ryuzaki's seen them and I haven't. It was sort of a momentous occasion for me, you know?" And, truthfully, he was a little curious. They already existed, after all. It's not like he was taking pictures.

"Would it be selfish to say I'd like to fall asleep to it?"

"Mmmm." And Near did feel sleepy, warm and sleepy and, well, loved. Being dried off is another novel display of caring that adds to that silly, smug, emotional warmth, and he was distantly aware that he must be smiling like a drunk.

"I'm... really ready to sleep."
