Near Needs New Clothes

3rd person pov

'I really don't have any feminine clothes, do I? Bugger.' Near thought to herself.

"Hmm, could ask Roger. He'll tell me to wait until there's time. Could go alone, no you almost got kidnapped last time. Who else-" Near's pacing was interrupted by the door opening.

"Oi, Ghost Girl. We're going town, wanna come too?" Mello said, just standing in the doorway.

"Umm, well.. I might as well. I need to go anyway. " Near shrugged as she walked towards the door.

"Why?"

"Clothes. I don't have any feminine clothes and dysphoria is the worst. So I need new clothes."

"Oh, so we're going clothes shopping for two now? Ok." Matt chimed in, standing somewhere just out of view.

"Two?" Near asked quietly.

"I grow, ya know?" Retorted Mello, with obviously fake anger in his voice.

The three kids then started laughing, together. Like they would have done before all of the competition between them was forced in by the system.

They continued a light laugh as Mello pick up near and started to leave for town with Near on his shoulder and Matt walking beside them.
