Since I love the art of Mello and Matt cuddling, which one of the two do you see being the cuddle bug? Who prefers being big/little spoon?
The question is always when. They exist in a timeline and have character development, so let me break it down for you real quick.
Matt is insecure about what's ok, so he doesn't initiate much
Mello tries way too hard to be cool, no cuddling
Mello has massive walls in his head making him think isn't allowed to crave softness - thinks cuddling is childish and cringe (craves nothing more than hugs and kisses and almost started sobbing when Matt absentmindedly ran his hand though Mello's hair) (he's like that touch-deprived cheetah)
Mello is getting more comfortable with cuddling and casual touches but he's still paranoid as fuck to show it publicly - he's got a reputation to lose yknow? So it all stays behind closed doors
Their bedtime arrangement more closely resembles various cutlery thrown in a drawer rather than spoons neatly fitting together haha look
Matt got the hang of what's ok and how to handle Mello and he's definitely more *openly* cuddly than him
Matt likes to embarass Mello a little :)c
Mello goes from being unable to tolerate touch due to severe burn injuries to craving it more than anything, wanting nothing more than to curl up tightly in Matt’s arms, because that’s the only place that still feels safe and familiar
The further you go post-canon, the more openly chill they get with snuggles (Mello especially)
They enjoy any constellation of spooning/cuddling
Mello regularly complains about his arm getting numb when being the big spoon
