MeroNia

Meronia is the slash ship between Mello and Near from the Death Note fandom.

History
Mello and Near were raised at Wammy's House - an orphanage for gifted children in Winchester, England. They were resigned to being L's successors and after his death, Roger (the orphanage manager) communicates Mello and Near about L's death, telling the boys that L had not chosen a successor. So Roger suggested that Mello and Near work together, but Mello refuses to work with Near. Mello leaves Wammy's House with the goal of finding Kira in her own way.

Rivalry
Both in the anime and in the manga Mello and Near are represented having a rivalry, it is not known the origin of the rivalry of both, but by what is portrayed Mello wants at all costs to overcome Near. The relationship of the characters is unilateral, the hatred that Mello feels for Near is not reciprocal, since Near does not see Mello as an enemy, on the contrary, Near likes Mello. At the end of the manga, Near is shown eating chocolate in honor of his late rival.

Fanon
After Near delivers a photo to Mello at the time he was a child, behind the photo is written with the near-term quote "Dear Mello," this is a fact that intrigues the fans.
