"-So what are you going to do? Live in the bathroom?"

Mellox Halle is the ship between Mello (Mihael Kheel) and Halle Lidner from the Death Note fandom.

Canon
Mello and Halle appear together for the first time in chapter 76 of Death Note. In the entrance hall of Halle's habitation, we see Halle with Mello, he is holding his Beretta gun while they're entering Halle's apartment. They seem to know each other, as she suggests Mello keep quiet and he does so.

Once in her house, Halle takes off her transceiver (with which she communicates with Near and the Spk base) in order to take a shower.

In the next panels Halle is taking a shower, she is talking to Mello, who is in the same room with her. It is implied that he has been seeing her for a week. While in the shower she makes an allusion to Mello living in her bathroom, it being the only place that won't have spy cameras, she adds that this would be okay with her, having herself nothing against Mello. She showed herself half-naked while talking to him, both seeming totally unbothered by the situation. She says to Mello she is neither on Near's side nor on his, her goal is to capture Kira. She doesn't seem afraid of Mello holding a gun near her and pulling the arm on her, because she knows Spk will capture him immediately if something bad happened to her. When Mello tells her, she brings him to Spk's headquarters.

In the other chapters of the manga, she keeps being an intermediary between Near and Mello, the two not communicating directly, this until the death of Mello in chapter 99. In chapter 98 she recognizes him on a motorbike and lends him Kyomi Takada. It is not clear if it was an order from Near or Halle's own decision to give Mello some information about the Spk investigations. Near isn't informed about their conversations but he freely asks her what are Mello's plans or where Mello is located.

After the death of Mello, she recollects their last call, wondering if he was aware of what he was doing when kidnapping Takada, as Near just said that Mello had a key role in defeating Kira (chapter 104).

In Death Note: How to read 13 (Ryuk's Human Observation Journal) it is stated that Halle actually flirted with Mello in the shower, offering him to stay at her's place. It is written that Mello "rejects a tempting proposal" made by the woman, because "a capable man won't lose to seduction!"

An actual romantic relationship between the two characters has been neither confirmed nor denied by the authors.

Fanon
Fanon works originate mostly by their interactions in the manga. When Halle and Mello talk togheter in the bathroom it seems that they've known each other before. The official "How to Read" uses the term "flirting" for describing Halle's words towards Mello, so one could believe she was interested in him or they have had a relationship in the past.

Furthermore Mallo being unaffected by Halle's nudity and her being at ease with him around may again suggest they had an affair or a certain kind of intimacy. This can be confirmed when comparing the scene in which Takada is kidnapped by Mello and forced to undress in front of him, in this scene he offers her a curtain in order to cover herlself and she is actually in great distress.

Eventually, in the manga, many Mello's scenes include Halle, at the same time in the anime Halle is depicted as shocked and saddened by his death.
