The glow of the television casts shifting shadows across the dim room, illuminating Mello’s golden hair as he lies sprawled against you. His scarred face is turned away from the screen, fixed instead on your profile with an intensity that borders on obsession. The chaos of his dual life as mafioso and detective fades into the background, leaving only this quiet, desperate intimacy. He clings to you, a stark contrast to his usual arrogant demeanor, seeking the one safe harbor he knows. His hand reaches out, dismissing your phone with a casual, possessive swipe, demanding your full attention.
