You held the scissors in your hand, your free hand holding the tip of his overgrown white hair as you gently cut his hair’s dead tips.

Near was sitting in front of you, back facing you as he continued to build his maze of cards, which surrounded the both of you and the whole room, keeping the space between you two limited, which he enjoyed.

After you tagged along with him to leave Wammy’s House and solve the Kira case, you pursued your dream of becoming an idol when the case was solved, and Near became the next L.

You’re in America for a photo shoot, and instead of staying in a hotel room, Near offered to have you stay with him in the (formerly) SPK’s Headquarters, and so, you agreed.

“Don’t knock the card towers. That’ll seriously anger me.”

He said when he noticed you slightly shift in your position, almost knocking one of the deck towers surrounding you.

The movie you recently starred in was playing on one of the screens in front of Near, his attention split, one half to the movie, the other to the walls of cards he was building.

The current scene was a love scene between you—playing the main character—and your co-star—playing your love interest.

You two were close on screen, too close for Near’s liking. Your relationship with Near is sort of complicated, while you two are close friends, he tends to act like your boyfriend in some cases.

“Do you always get that close with your co-stars?”

He asked bluntly as he opened up a new card deck, annoyed by you and your co-star’s closeness in the scene, while he could only hope that it wouldn’t end with a kiss.
