[ Mello doesn't flinch and Setsuna honestly doesn't expect to, but he's again silently grateful that he's been granted the privilege of grazing the scar. Even without being told, he knows not many have. He knows there's a story there, it's a touchy one, and it involves feelings, not exactly Mello's strong suit. He doesn't push for details but Mello can probably see it in his eyes anyway, that spark of curiosity. He's going to ask eventually, but not now.
Yet it is intimate, which isn't something Setsuna understands, either. He understands little touches, little smiles, but nothing like this. While he's had sex before, this is all new, soft words and it's alright you're not disgusting and shuddering breaths and fingers on his skin. This is all new yet he likes it, loves it anyway. Mello has gone from complete stranger to trusted ally within the scope of just a few hours because that's just how Setsuna is. Trust is hard to earn and yet it can be earned quickly, just like that, and permanently. It may make him naive, but again, that's the difference between them. Setsuna trusts in humanity. Mello does not.
Setsuna allows Mello to snatch up his blade, and shudders at the cool sensation of metal to his skin. If Mello was worried about Setsuna reacting poorly to it, he need not be; the lusty expression blooming across his face gives him all the unspoken permission he needs. He does get the message regarding removal of his clothes though, and chuckling quietly, he stops what he's doing to properly remove his top and start on everything else. ]
You're impatient.
[ But it's light, casual, jokingly stated, a positive sign. Setsuna's grown comfortable around Mello. Not complacent, but comfortable. Almost as if they were friends.
Almost, because he knows in Mello's world, it's something of an impossibility. ]
