The sound of his teeth creating that relentless sound was making his toes curl. Marking his page, he stood up, and went off on a quick search for his jacket.
After having a successful mission, Mello returned and covered the trembling Near with the jacket he knew the boy loved to wear.
Once the jacket was in place, acting as a blanket, his hand moved from the article of clothing to the boy’s sleeping, serene face. The chattering of his teeth had subsided, and now he was just breathing softly. Moving a white strand from the peaceful face, Mello smiled, knowing that he was all his.
Not wanting to risk causing him to stir, he went back and sat, continuing his book.
