A.N: New to writing this fandom, so bear with me if something's wrong. I keep writing Mikage as Mikado. -_- But it's fixed here! :D
It was a cold, bitter night at the Barsburg Empire's military academy. The moon's luminous rays bathed the concrete room in ethereal light. Teito shifted back and forth, yet another vivid nightmare putting him through convulsions. He moaned; the sounds, the blank faces, and the harsh colors were just too much for him as he finally woke up. He yelled, sitting up fast. Dizzy, he fell back, breathing deeply.
"Teito-kun? Are you all right?" Mikage sprang up, running to his friend's side. He grabbed Teito's hand with his warm ones. The brunette's hand was clammy and shaking. Teito rubbed his forehead with his free hand, wiping the cold sweat away.
"Yeah. I'm…I'm fine." He sighed.
"Another one, huh?" The blonde gave him a relieved smirk. He patted the hand he held and lifted placed the back of his other on Teito's forehead.
"I can't really tell, but I think you might have a fever." He frowned, worried about the boy.
"Don't worry about me; just go to sleep." The hand continued to shiver in Mikage's hand.
"But you're shaking." He spoke, trying to reason with his best friend. He shiver ran up his spine; it was cold in the room. "Here." Mikage crawled onto Teito.
"What are you doing?" Teito yelped, embarrassed.
"Relax, Teito-kun. I'm just trying to keep you warm. It's freezing in here." He shivered dramatically. "Look, you can even see my breath." He turned his head, breathing slowly, the puff of air visible. "I was getting cold, anyway." He smiled, shoving himself under the blankets.
"F-fine." Teito stuttered, turning over. He gasped as he felt those warm hands wrapping around his shivering frame.
Mikage chuckled, holding tightly. "It's fine, Teito-kun. I'm just trying to keep you warm. You need to stop shivering." The brunette was silent for a few seconds, and then nodded just as silently. He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He was truly thankful he had Mikage. If he hadn't been there, he would have laid awake for the rest of the night.
"Goodnight, Teito-kun. Dream good dreams!" He whispered, nuzzling the boy's neck affectionately before closing his eyes, eager to sleep.
"Goodnight, Mikage-kun."
A.N: Next chapter coming up when I can! I hope you all enjoy it. :3
