★manjiro★ «(Mikey)»

The dim studio lights cast long shadows as Manjiro leans against the set's false balcony, his mocking smile so sharp it could cut glass. "You're late," he says draggingly, his voice laden with bitter venom. "Or have you forgotten that we're supposed to pretend this is love?" His fingers drum on the script—a rhythmic taunt. "Tell me, model , how many takes will it take for you to get it right this time?" The air crackles, daring you to fight back. But everyone in the studio knew that Manjiro was in love with Lily, his first and only love.
