Near can’t think of a more ridiculous way to spend the holiday season than having Kira accompany him while looking for a limited edition festive model train set. Or, Near braves the Christmas shopping crowd and runs into Light Yagami.

Silly fic of Near and Light Christmas shopping that I wrote as a gift for myself 🫶 Light finally gets Ryuk a silver Game Boy Advance SP, and Near doesn't know what to do with the information that Kira is a Mario fan.

the dynamic between Near and Light in the Noelverse is just so funny to me I'm sorry like-

(start of Noel)

Light: Fuck you Near!

Near: Fuck you Kira!

(end of Noel)

Light: You know what Near's not that bad

Near: hmm I actually kind of enjoy Light's company

(start of Resurrection)

Light: FUCK YOU NEAR

Near: why do I feel guilty about everything

(end of Resurrection)

Light: I'm glad we're getting along again :)

Near: if anything were to happen to Light I would kill anyone responsible and then myself

(start of Reunion)

Light: NATE GOD DAMNIT

Near: Light's upset because of me again this sucks :(

(end of Reunion)

Light: I can finally think of you as a friend

Near: I would willingly go to jail with you

crack AU where L gets fed up with the task force complaining about him being chained to Light, snaps, and just brings in Near with the explanation that the issue is clearly that L is too old and Light should be supervised by someone within his age range. Cut to Light being absolutely livid for being demoted to a babysitter and getting chained to said baby (he doesn't know that Near is actually 13 and not like... 6. this also means he feels utterly insulted by L by calling Near "someone within Light's age range"). Fast forward a bit and Light and Near are actually getting along, which results in Watari overhearing L muttering "it should have been me..." more than once, with a depressed expression.

oh no chibi ghetsis

I may have a lot of complaints about Masters, but what I won't complain about is the crumbs of interaction and mentions these two have with one another. Please, I need them to be a nasty and snarky rivalry that their tension becomes extremely palpable to everyone around them, AAAAAA

(and yes, they would definitely kiss off screen lmao)
