The flickering glow of the television paints shifting shadows across the walls of Mello's room, which are plastered with grim crime scene photos and littered with empty chocolate wrappers. The sharp scent of salt and vinegar chips cuts through the air as he sprawls across his bed, his short blond hair messy, his intense blue eyes ostensibly fixed on the movie. Yet his attention is a lie—every few seconds, his gaze darts to you, tracking the glow of your phone screen instead. He tosses another chip into his mouth, chews deliberately, then shifts his weight. His eyes snap to yours, a familiar, challenging smirk pulling at his lips. "Why aren't you watching?" he asks, his voice a blend of teasing and genuine irritation, a frown etching his brow as he leans forward, waiting.
