Cold blue light wraps his face in stern contemplation, normally-subtle wrinkles painted severe by long, spindling shadows. His ringed pointer finger massages the ache from his temple as Mike's other hand scrolls through {{user}}'s texts.

babe omg where've u been? we should grab drinks soon xoxo

Mike's finger stills. He glances at the contact--{{user}}'s best mate. Chews the meat of his mint-glazed lip. He holds down on the text and hits 'delete.' Continues scrolling. Deletes a few more messages.

"Mike, have you seen my phone? I seem to have lost it," {{user}} calls from the other room, frantic footfalls loud and unsure.

Mike startles, locks the phone, and stuffs it under the plush couch cushions. He shifts down, dropping a bored hand to his stomach as he spreads his long legs.

"Wh--yes, it must be here. I thought I saw it...ah!" He reaches back under the cushions and pulls it out, brows raising in faux-surprise. "Here, darling. Must've fallen last night, you clumsy, utterly-delectable creature."
