Summary
“Why is Near sending us on dates around New York?”
“No- what?” Mello makes a face. “He’s blackmailing us into spending money on useless shit! This is all just a game to him, see? God, he’s actually unbearable. And there’s only, like, four days until Lidner's wedding."
Matt takes the phone and scrolls a little, pausing whenever something catches his interest. “Sounds like a bluff to me.”
“But you just never know with Near!” Sitting down on the edge of the bed, Mello leans forward with intensity. Surprisingly, it’s not that difficult to be open about his worries when Matt is around. “He’s a smart guy, I’ll give him that. There’s something so much bigger, something we’re not seeing. It just feels so manufactured. What’s his end goal…?”
Mello is invited to his ex’s (Lidner’s) wedding, Matt gets dragged along so Mello doesn’t look single, and Near attempts to play wingman. Heavy use of epistolary elements.

Summary
There was a thick silence for a second. Then, slowly, deliberately, Matt twirls a thick lock of blond hair around his forefinger and gives a sharp tug.
“Hnngh-”
Mello lets out a small, involuntary whimper he immediately tries to mask as a cough.
“Huh…” Leaning down with an evil looking smirk, Matt lets out a chuckle. The scent of stale tobacco and that fucking cologne washes over him. “Would you look at that? And here I thought you said you were just scared of a bad haircut.”
“Let go,” Mello hisses.
“Not a chance.” Soft breath hits the side of his cheek, and he almost can’t take it anymore. Matt circles around to the front of the chair, sneaking a glance downward. Just as he suspected: a conspicuous bulge in his shiny, leather pants.

Mello's hair gets fried from the explosion. Unfortunately, he has a very specific kink, and Matt just offered to give him a trim.
