Summary
Near walked towards the computer room with not even a bit of curiosity. He was annoyed. But he wasn't going to be for long.
At the threshold of the room, he sensed something unsettling, so he looked up.
He froze.
His foot stopped mid-step, not even touching the ground.
His eyes widened.
He felt sick.
He felt like his guts were moving by themselves.
He was not able to swallow anymore.
He felt dizzy.
He fainted.
He saw a ghost.
Mello was sitting there, slumped on a chair, shoulders loose, posture undone, in the middle of the room.

Summary
Near wakes to find himself in a soft, inky darkness, completely unable to move.
His paralysis is not immediately noteworthy to him. At first, as he is rising from the depths of unconsciousness, it strikes him as quite natural. Comfortable, even. With his mind still half-blanketed by sleep, his thoughts slow and blurry, the weight bearing down on him feels almost like an embrace.
This thought is what first brings his attention to the strangeness. Physical affection— physical contact, full-stop— is not part of his daily life. The only people who ever touch him are doctors, dentists, and Mello, though Mello only grabs him when he is about to walk through a puddle or into an obstacle, or, occasionally, when Mello is especially frustrated with him. No one embraces Near.
--
In which Mello sleepily invades Near’s space, and Near puzzles through both what is happening and what to do about it.
