*Rod Ross pov*

I'd expected Mello to be angry about being rejected, but he was mostly the same. I noticed moments when he seemed sad though, and the wistful looks he gave her when he thought no one was looking at him. It wasn't affecting his work so I hoped he'd be over it soon enough. It wasn't until I found him in crying in the closet that I realised how hurt he felt. He tried to deny it, blaming it on allergies which he'd never had before. I'm a tough guy but I couldn't help feel bad for him, so I decided to try help in some way. I pulled Y/N aside again.

"Listen, I know you don't want to date Mello, but I wondered if you'd just spend a little time with him after work. Just watch a movie or something, you can stay here, I'll be around too. Just give him a chance?"

"Uh, why?"

"Because he likes you and I think it would mean a lot to him."

I was ready to possibly issue it as an order, but her expression softened.

"Ok, I'll do it."

"Oh, great. I'll let him know."

"No, I'll ask him."

"Thanks Y/N."

"It's fine."

She seemed rattled by my words, I was glad I'd gotten through to her and hoped it would go ok for both of them.
