~ Mello ~
Mello was silent. He hated Near more now.
~ Near ~
"You may touch me, if you wish." Near said softly.
~ Mello ~
He finally choked out a response. "Why?"
~ Near ~
"Am I doing this? I merely want to cheer you up." the albino stood. "Such torturous thinking does nothing to help your deductive ability. I believe that it is my duty as Kodi's future successor to help."
~ Mello ~
This comment would have sparked animosity in any other situation; however, this was a very unique position. Mello pulled himself into sitting position.
~ Near ~
Near scooted himself inbetween Mello's legs, and looked up at him, as if offering his fur as a sacrifice. He expected Mello to bite, yell, snarl, and scratch him. His hypothesis was correct.
~ Mello ~
Mello did all of what Near suspected of him. He bit down on Near's shoulder while scratching the albino's chest harshly. He snarled under all of that flawless milk white fur.
