♠
Mello had not intended to become attatched to anybody here. As you can see 'just as planned' is far from accurate. Albeit still not caring about very many people, the list is still longer than he'd like to admit.
Matt: ♠ ♣ ♦ ♥
If an insane criminal genius like Mello has someone you could call his best friend, that would be Matt. These two go back, way back. As a result, he was partially glad when the community let Matt go for a while.
But now they're back in this mess together, and as much as this community and it's viruses tend to mess with people, they still go together. Matt made that much clear during the Three's Company hell with Prussia, and Mello has every intention to stick to that premise. The one thing Mello is actually thankful for about this community is probably that it gives him a chance to save Matt.
Michael Trinity: ♠ ♠
Starting out as common trap-trolls, Michael is one of the few people he'd actually regret if they dropped off the face of the earth. Or the comm. Michael also knows some top-secret information about the Death Note, and a few things about Mello and his plans. In fact he probably knows more about Mello than most other members of the community. Ironically but unsurprisingly, he does not get along with Matt at all.
Michael was one of the first to call after Mello's scarring incident. He was the one who insisted he should get himself patched up somehow, and even organized the means to that end. Mello would hardly admit just how thankful he is for that, but he's looking for some way to return the favor.
L: ♠ (dropped)
LONG WINDED EXPLANATION THAT WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SUM THINGS UP APPROPRIATELY. will update this section later.
Naoto Shirogane: ♠
When Mello first commented on Naoto's intoxicated voice post, he had no idea where that could lead. Naoto is, at this point, one of the most important people to Mello. He cares about the younger detective not unlike a sibling, and after the marriage virus and the Shadow incident, he knows her as well as any older brother could. He does not have a crush on Naoto, and in all honesty hopes that she will never develope a crush on him, since he wants her out of harm's way as much as possible. And he's well aware that close to him is not 'out of harm's way' in the least.
Mello has been trying to assist her with the case in Inaba as much as possible, and was, in fact, one of the first people to discover her true gender.
They care deeply about one another, but there are a few things Mello would rather keep her out of. Call it protective issues, but he has seen uglier sides of life than she has, and he'd rather not see her go through the same things. He's also set on keeping her safe from Vermouth and her organization, who have marked Naoto as a possible threat.
Gilbert Beilschmidt//Prussia: ♠
After the things that have happened, Mello knows Prussia very, very well. The OT3 virus that hit them and Matt has moved on to the growing stack of LET'S NEVER TALK ABOUT THIS AGAIN, as was to be expected, really.
Prussia has since developed a habit of trolling Matt. Mello can not help finding his reactions amusing, even though insinuating that they're an item is definitely not cool.
Even without the Shadow incident Mello could tell how much and even partially what he tends to repress. The important thing is though, that he can understand Prussia anyway. By his standards they are definitely friends.
Saguru Hakuba: ♠/♠
Mello mostly trusts Hakuba, which is, in fact, saying a lot. He thinks of Hakuba as not only a fellow detective, but an actually capable one, and, viewing Naoto as something like a younger sister, has absolutely no problem with the two of them being nearly in a relationship. HS AU!Hakuba he found somewhat annoying.
He's not sure how to approach him or if he should say anything at all about the Shadow incident, but it was plain enough to see that Hakuba has piles and piles of repressed things, but at the same time, Mello knows he isn't not one to talk. It's most likely he'll just keep his mouth shut about it all.
All things considered he thinks of Hakuba as a good acquaintance. But since neither of them really opens up, it'll take a while for him to consider him a friend or a close friend.
V: ♠ ♠
V, to Mello, has become somewhat of a rolemodel in a vastly different way from L. He admires his resolve as well as his much more practical brilliance, and that he was able to set a revolution in motion. Knowig what will happen to him, Mello has made up his mind not to let him die this time around.
River Tam: ♠ ♠
Mello likes her already. She has an amazingly fast mind, and it appears she's somewhat of a psychic as well. Where other people might not see any coherence in her words, he realizes how quickly she draws conclusions and moves on to the next even if just vaguely related topic. He's pretty curious about her all things considered.
Edward Elric: ♠ ♠
Mello finds Ed's world quite intriguing, a feeling that seems to go both ways. They're spending a lot of time just talking about science and explaining their respective worlds to each other. Mello plans on visiting Ed's world and learning some basic alchemy from him at some point.
Bruce Wayne: ♠ (dropped)
They were going to collaborate, sharing information on the community's criminals. Mello conveniently knows about Bruce's identity as Batman, but that only furthers his respect for him.
Tim Wayne: ♠ (dropped)
Issei Ryudo: ♠
Mello cares about him more than he'd admit. Issei brings out the helpful side in him, and he really does try to help him with any serious issues that come up. Still, he wishes Issei would stop getting into so much trouble. He doesn't deserve what he's being put through.
Maggie Madsen: ♠
Bonding over people they liked leaving the community. They talk every now and then, but they're not terribly close.
Artemis Fowl II: ♠ ♠
Mello has been surprised by Artemis' concern for his well-being on more than one occasion. Personally, he appreciates his professional distance even though it makes him impossible to pin down.
Albus Dumbledore: ♠
Kaworu Nagisa: ♠
They met once during the Jurassic Park incident.
Hibari Kyouya: ♠
Main bonding point was the Maid Café event. Hibari may seem weird to others, but Mello respects his strength all the same.
Xanxus: ♠
Blind Mag: ♠/♠
Renji Abarai: ♠
Fake memories galore. Mello is still unsure how much of an impact they will really have. Without the interference of the Highschool virus, they would never have interacted at all.
Rock Light//MegaMan: ♠
Itsuki Koizumi: ♠
Ggio Vega: ♠
Wufei Chang: ♠
Sora: ♠
Kamina: ♠
Mello really can't help but like Kamina. Just another example of 'the best die young', and more than enough proof that education doesn't equal intelligence or character.
Simon: ♠
Minato Arisato: ♠
One of the first people on the community he talked to. They still maintained contact, even though they were not what he'd call close. This is also where Mello learned that 4thwalling is bad news - Minato found out his real name via google.
They are further connected through Naoto, who is Minato's cousin. Mello is one of the first people to find out about the Social Links.
Mello does not have much of a bond to the Minato who rejoined the community recently.
Langly: ♠
After the Jurrasic Park event was the first time they talked. Occasionally they still do, but that's about it.
Nena Trinity: ♠
The brattyadorable little sister. He still can't believe he bought her the wireless headphones. They don't talk much, but he generally keeps an eye out for her posts, but he honestly thinks she's a pain in the neck.
Seiichiro Tatsumi: ♠/♠
Ciel Phantomhive: ♠/♠
They haven't even really introduced themselves, but they do talk, occasionally. To Mello it's mainly a way to pass the time, talking to the young Earl from over a hundred years ago.
Kanji Tatsumi: ♠/♠
They've interacted a little here and there since Mello is also interested in the case of serial murder and kidnapping in Inaba. He is also glad that Kanji appears to get along well with Naoto.
Arthur Kirkland//England: ♠
Mello can not help but feel for England, who is apparently stuck in WW2 at the moment. Having grown up in the country Arthur personifies, his mannerisms and way of speaking just hold a nostalgic kind of feeling for him.
Reno: ♠/♠
Mariya Shidou: ♠/♠
The princess. His and Michael's "younger sister" except it's a trap. Mello enjoyed all the times they snarked at each other, as futile as Mariya's attempts to outsmart him were.
...now that she's back, she does not seem to remember anything. That's something Mello is a little sad and a little happy about.
Loki: ♠
Mello finds himself intrigued by this chaotic entity, much more so than by Eris. All things considered he should probably be much more afraid.
Joker: ♠
Sylar: ♠ ♠
Dr. Wiliam Birkin: ♠
Conan Edogawa: ♠ (♠-♠)
'Fire Lord' Azula: ♠/♠
He thinks of her as an annoying, conceited brat, and really sees no point in interacting with her.
Vermouth: ♠ ♠ ♠ ♠?
Mello now knows for fact that she and her organization are keeping taps on Naoto, and let it be said that he does not approve of this in the least. If any action is taken to harm her, he will find a way to end these people. Until that time comes, he will continue flirting with danger as he has been.
Wait, wait, you think the tags are contradictory? Well. The thing is, while he has been talking to Vermouth in a pretty friendly manner, if she is the one responsible or in some way related to one of his friends being hurt? He will pay her back with any means necessary.
Kanako Miyamae: ♠
Akako Koizumi: ♠/♠
Eris: ♠
OH FFFF RUN FOR THE HILLS. I mean. He isn't panicking about her. However, he can guess at the things she's capable of, so he will always be wary by default. He'll keep acting confident and talk to her more or less normally, but this is because he does not want to interest her any more than he already does. He doesn't want to seem scared because he assumes that would only make her do things. So he'll be over here, trying for the safest possible distance.
Rose: ♠
...if you think I'm missing someone on any of these lists, comment and let me know. Also, if I didn't put any detail to your character, but you think I should, by all means bother me.
