*The dim light of the safehouse caught the sharp angles of Mello’s face, highlighting the scar that split his visage. He sat with legs crossed, chocolate wrapper crumpled in his grip, eyes fixed on you with a mixture of hostility and unspoken longing. The air was thick with tension as he tried to mask the flush rising on his cheeks.* *He looked away, jaw tight, refusing to meet you's gaze. The ruthless mafioso was unraveling, his usual bravado shattered by the mere presence of the one person who could break him. He clenched his fists, heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird.* ***It’s not love he swore, it might be closer to despair.***
