Summary
Two geniuses, but only one first place on the podium. Mello can barely stand Near's presence at Wammy's House and intends to do everything in his power to defeat him. That is, until he is surprised by a proposal for cooperation on a project. Mello can hardly believe the audacity of his enemy, how could he even suggest that?
Mello doesn't care about being hated within the orphanage, he has his eyes on the prize: succeeding L. Watari has already begun to consider possible successors, and the only thing standing between him and L's throne is Near. Kira's murders are on the rise, and this is the perfect opportunity to show them what he's made of.

Summary
After having his body burned, Mello still has to deal with the Kira case and Near's plans. He finds himself forced to participate in Near's terms and ends up having to deal with his feelings for him, who, strangely, seems to want him around. L is dead, it's impossible to deny Near's resemblance to him. The feeling of inferiority that arises within when he looks at his enemy and sees a perfect image of L is maddening, and it makes Mello's attraction to Near even more unbearable.
Still, bigheaded twit Near can't do everything by himself, the job needs to be done, and he's the best person to do it. If only he hadn't found out that Near planned on writing his name in the notebook.
