"Step right up, ladies and gents, step right up! I've got a smart-a** kid here, little genius who wants to succeed L. Who wants him?" The blond boy drummed his fingers absentmindedly on the podium, shouting to a chattering crowd.
"Mello, you know this is probably illegal, right?" came a small voice from inside a box beside the podium.
"I'm not selling you into slavery or anything, you idiot," Mello hissed. "Let's call it, 'putting you up for adoption.'"
Inside the box, Near shifted around uncomfortably. "At a public auction?" he said. "I'd call the police on you if I had a phone."
"What, for not putting air holes in the box? Here, I bet they want a peek at the merchandise."
"I'm not merchandise, Mello, I'm a human being!"
"Shut up! Ladies and gentlemen, have a look at Near! You'd better duck, kid, for once I don't want to hurt you." Mello grabbed a large knife from the podium and slit open the top of the box. Out popped the head of a small boy with white hair, looking around nervously. The string he'd been playing cat's cradle with fell from his trembling hands as he gazed at the mild-mannered adults.
"Fifty thousand?" came one uncertain voice. As Mello took a bite out of a bar of chocolate, he pointed to the woman to acknowledge her bid. "Fifty grand, fifty grand, going once?" he said.
"Don't talk with your mouth full, that's disgusting," said Near.
"Oh, shut up," Mello quipped back as an old man raised his hand and called "One hundred thousand!" He evidently took the boy's advice, as he nodded to the old man silently and held up one finger, then another.
"Two hundred thousand," said a newlywed couple in the fourth row.
"Three hundred thousand," called a woman in the middle of the room.
A man in a long black cloak stepped out of the shadows and pulled the hood off of his head. "Two million dollars," he said softly, "and one hundred pounds of pure Swiss chocolate."
Mello's heart nearly stopped. He looked at Near, then at the cloaked man, then back at Near. Near stared at the cloaked man in horror. Before the boy knew what was happening, he was hoisted from the box and dropped roughly at the side of the cloaked man. "He's yours," Mello said weakly, practically hyperventilating. He gasped as he shook the man's hand; it was cold as death. Beneath the hood of the cloak, a pair of unnaturally bright eyes gleamed. Something's weird about this guy, Mello thought. Am I sure I wanna give him the kid? He stole a glance at Near, who stood beside the two, petrified. With a small sigh, Mello let go of the man's hand and walked back to the podium, clearing his throat. "Sold," he said, "to the man with the cloak and the chocolate."
The man placed a hand on Near's shoulder. Near looked as though he was going to faint. "Someday, Mello, I'm gonna kill you for this," he choked out.
"Good luck," snorted Mello, picking up his chocolate. He walked back to his rival, broke the bar in half, and gave the un-bitten end to the terrified, white-clad boy. A tingle of guilt shook Mello into sweeping Near into a tight hug. "Thanks for the memories, Near," he said softly. "Take the chocolate for the road, and... well, good luck."
Utterly stunned, Near patted Mello gently on the back. "Thanks," he said. "Goodbye, Mello."
"So long, Near." They smiled at each other, and parted ways.

Sad thing is, I just figured out how to tie this in with another one-shot I was planning to write. o.o;;
Judging by the description and knowing how I think, the guy who "bought" Near is obviously a vampire. I'm thinking, maybe this vampire could end up being Snap...
Snap is about a thousand years old and spent a few centuries "delivering justice" in Europe and the Caribbean, i.e., he killed off criminals by drinking their blood. I didn't originally intend to stick Snap into Death Note as an OC, but hanging around manwhore!Light at a Death Note fanthread puts funny thoughts into my brain sometimes. >> So as he's getting a little world-weary, Snap hears about Kira and takes an interest in him because Kira's doing what he did for a significant chunk of time. He eventually gets a little involved and starts hunting for Kira on his own, not for the police or for L, but out of curiosity for Kira's blood. Well, he does his homework, studies the case, finds Light, and some mild vampire yaoi goes down in a dark alley. STFU, ASHY HAS A VAMPIRE FETISH AND HAS BEEN HANGING AROUND TOO MUCH DEATH NOTE YAOI LATELY!
Connection? The guy in the black cloak is Snap, and he uses Near to track down Kira for the whole "I want to taste your blood" thing.
