Context for Doing A Roger >:^)

Wanted to have Matt crack Mello up from evil-mafia-mode to mischievous-little-kid-at-Wammy's-mode. Matt loves seeing Mello laugh :)

Dying for Mello casually having his leg over Matt's. What is this gesture even? Is it a claim? Is it just comfy? Is it a middle finger to the gang? Is it a power move? Is it a hint he wants to have his guts rearranged later? Is it all of the above?

Rod's probably regularly splayed out between multiple women on that couch. And Mello goes ah alright you have trophy women, I have trophy Matt, move over big guy.

You really gotta be scared and impressed at what kind of person Mello is to display this kind of homosexual affection in a mafia setting...

Mafia Guy #1: ... I don't get it.

Mafia Guy #2: Don't get what?

#1: Mello and his squeeze. He's just, y'know, some guy. Not even a hot guy--

#2: Don't let Mello hear you say that.

#1: But y'know what I mean, right? He looks like a regular guy. Regular haircut, clothes, face and body. Then look at the girls with Rod. They're actually hot, done up all pretty with makeup, dresses, shoes, jewelry, their hairdos ... Why isn't Mello, y'know, with the guy equivalent of that? He could afford a boy like that if he wanted one. And there's plenty of boys like that, too, in this city! So it's not like this is a weird thing the gays do. This is a weird thing Mello does.

#2: shrug Maybe Mello just likes knowing what his squeeze really looks like under all the makeup and sexy clothes.

#1: Say again?

#2: I mean ... Y'know those girls are acting, right? The makeup and dresses and shoes--especially the shoes with those huge heels--are all part of an act. They don't wake up like that. It's a job. To get money from guys like Rod, same reason we're here. For their real lives where they're, like, regular women. With regular names. You think their real names are "Kandi with a K and an I" and "Jessie Belle like in the Bible"?
