Mello woke slowly, staying still because he realized with some surprise that Sephiroth was still breathing deeply, unmoving. Apparently, he was still asleep.

Mello practically held his breath when he realized that, staying absolutely still for several long minutes and trying to think of ways to take advantage of this situation. All of them, unfortunately, included first getting out of Sephiroth's arms without waking him.

So, finally, Mello tried that, moving as gently and silently as he possibly good in an attempt to steal out of bed.
