if you want to keep up, can you afford to feel? {bellamy blake; week 1; sunday evening}

[After the execution, Mello can be found sitting on a patch of the beach, knees drawn up to his chest, sunk deep into thought as he traces increasingly elaborate golden spiral designs in the sand with a twig. There is a notable difference to his demeanor than when he first arrived - no longer smug and arrogant, he is angry. It's a quiet, simmering sort of anger, but it's there all the same, if you know to look.]

[Bellamy recognizes that anger, largely because it's a mirror of his own emotions. Right now, the only way he's keeping it together is by refusing to think about Haru or Yato or Nino. Somehow, it feels like betraying them.]

[He doesn't bother glancing up from his work to answer.]
