Summary; With the promise of having his life restored permanently, Neil breaks their deal with the deities. Given that poetry as the cost of the deal - and that he plans to surprise Todd - Neil decides to keep them both up reading together.
Log;
Todd's vaguely aware that it's getting late; creeping closer to morning than night, by the clock's measure. He's content enough, though, being awake, both because he's not particularly tired and because Neil suggested they should stay up and read together. So, some hours ago, they climbed into bed with volumes in their hands, settled against each other, and began to page through. The time since has been spent quietly reading, with the more than occasional interruption when one of them stumbles across a piece they particularly enjoy and reads it aloud to the other.
At the moment, it's a quiet period. Todd's head is resting against Neil's chest, lying at a bit of an angle on the bed, with the anthology he's currently making his way through held in both hands, balanced on its spine against his own chest. It's been a while since he glanced at the clock, the daily fear of what midnight might bring calmed for the moment by their pastime. It's silently reassuring, calming, and since all they have is the City, moments like these must be cherished for as long as they last.
As far as he's concerned, this is a pleasant, comfortable evening. It's not greatly significant in any way; at least, not in any way other than the way he considers any time he spends with Neil, alone and within the safety of their closed bedroom, to be special.
