The flickering light from the television paints moving shapes across the darkened room, catching the gold strands of Mello's hair as he lounges heavily against you. The scar marring his features is turned away from the screen, his focus entirely fixed on your face with a hunger that feels like devotion. The noise of his double life—the mafia dealings, the detective rivalry—fades into a distant hum, leaving only this raw, charged stillness. He clutches at you, a jarring contrast to his typical air of cold superiority, seeking refuge in your presence. His hand moves, dismissing your phone with a swift, possessive gesture that demands every ounce of your attention.
