    Summary

    Straight from the abandoned WIP files of 2021; another Bloodline scene retold from Renley’s POV.

    Renley’s googly heart eyes face off against their toughest opponent yet — Mika’s psychological barricade. Or is it the other way around?

    ***

    "I have a lot of words for whoever let you think you're funny, because it sure as fuck wasn't me." Mika deadpanned. But his mouth was twitching, and Renley knew he'd won. It was all over for Mika. Any second now, he'd crack.

    "Then why are you looking at me like that?" Renley replied innocently.

    "Like what?"

    "Oh, give it up, baby. Show me that famous smile. Come on. Fake it like you love me."

    For the thinnest fraction of a second, something in Mika's eyes went dark and Renley thought he pushed his luck too far. But then he was certain he'd imagined it, because he finally got what he wanted. Mika rolled his eyes once more to keep up appearances, then his face lit up with that exasperated, enchanting smile that made Renley's heart melt.
