Author's Notes:
Mello/Near is so cute! I also like Mello/Matt…but I don't support it like I do for this pairing! And I wish that Mello/Matt didn't dominate the fandom for Death Note as much as it does…
Hope this isn't too OOC…I haven't watched Death Note in awhile…I felt like having dictionary entries would make it all the more Near-like…

Emotions (an affective state of consciousness in which joy, sorrow, fear, hate, or the like, is experienced, as distinguished from cognitive and volitional states of consciousness) have never appealed to me much. They are and always had been bothersome things that only caused people to act differently than they would in normal circumstances. All in all, having emotions is a liability (something disadvantageous) , only making the person it was affecting weaker.
Which is the exact reason that I will not let the tears (a drop of the saline, watery fluid continually secreted by the lacrimal glands between the surface of the eye and the eyelid, serving to moisten and lubricate these parts and keep them clear of foreign particles) fall. No matter how hard they make the ducts burn.
You always been ruled by his emotions, leading to your untimely demise, thus only proving my theory to be so much more the truth. We all knew that you had felt inferior (a condition or state of being or having a sense of being inferior or inadequate especially with respect to one's apparent equals or to the world at large) to me, being the first successor of L driving you to the point of hating the very bringing up of my name in a conversation.
It really was all oh so tragic (extremely mournful, melancholy, or pathetic), if I cared for flowery Shakespearean type poems that never got to the point. Romantic, even. A dashing young lad draped in black, animal skin clinging tightly to the skin as if a second one. Off to save the world, to prove himself, and defeat the dastardly foe (a person who feels enmity, hatred, or malice toward another; enemy).
Now wouldn't it have been even grander if the hero (a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities) had survived to live through it all and actually defeat the villain, yes?
Ah, but it's unlucky to talk bad of a dead man, no?
I'm sure that you would be laughing (an expression or appearance of merriment or amusement) over my grave though, so I can't feel muster up too many feelings of self-hate against myself.
So Mello, do you feel the hero?
I hope you do, because I don't think many others feel that you are.
