Chapter 1~

"I can't believe this! One day you're as healthy as a horse and the next you turn into this!" Yukio spoke furiously, Rin frowning at him the best he could and sneezing.

"Well sorry I got sick." Rin huffed, as he tried to speak clearly with his nose full. "It's not like I wanted a cold anyway."

"Well if we had caught this sooner you wouldn't be this sick." Yukio frowned, his eye twitching while he rubbing his temples. "You could've told me you felt sick, Nii-san. I'm a doctor for a reason you know."

Rin didn't say a word, as he sneezed and let out a groan. The truth was he had felt sick a day or two ago and decided to push it aside and hide it from his brother. Only for the sole reason of letting his younger brother stay focused on the exorcist evaluation he was forced to take, so his younger twin didn't fail. The only problem was it had taken two days and here they were. Two days later. The demon sick beyond his own beliefs and Yukio pissed. He honestly couldn't believe it could get any worse.

"Look, Nii-san. I was assigned a mission, before I came back here." The brunette spoke, rubbing the bridge of his nose. "I'm going to be gone a whole week, so I obviously won't be able to take care of you. Instead, I called Suguro a little while ago and asked him to look after you. The Headmaster will-"

"B-Bon?" The demon practically screeched, making Yukio covered his ears and glare at him. "W-Why can't it be Shima, or Miwa? For god sakes I'll let Amaimon take care of me! Just anyone, but Bon!"

"I don't see what your problem is with him, Nii-san. Bon is a lot smarter and responsible than anyone else in your class. He'll be able to take care of you."

To say the least, Rin could care less if Bon could take care of him better than Shima or Miwa. It was Bon himself he couldn't stand, although it was in a good way and not a bad one. It was the sole fact that Rin had a major crush on the brunette n' blonde that held him back. He had been in love with him from the moment he had laid eyes on him and he could never keep his own cool around the teen. He was helpless and pathetic around the older and the last thing he needed was his crush taking care of him. It just screamed at his body to give into the older teen and turn into a patheticer mess, till he couldn't speak to his classmate properly.

Yukio's idea of helping the demon was going to be Rin's death, or at least his reputation's. If he was really going to be forced to be cared for by Bon he was going to be dead long before the end of the week, just from his heart stopping if nothing else. He couldn't let Bon take care of him, even if it meant making him sicker in the process.

"Yukio-"

"Nii-san, I don't have time to argue over this." Yukio spoke sternly, as Rin let out a curse. "Suguro will be here in a few minutes. I gave him a spare key, so he'll let himself in. Just behave yourself and don't get into any trouble while I'm gone."

"But, Yukio-"

"Rin." Yukio spoke in a warningful tone.

"Fine, I'll behave! Happy?" Rin huffed, crossing his arms and sneezing.

"Very, Thank you, Nii-san."

With that his brother left the demon alone in the room, making Rin frown to himself and mutter under his breath. Just who did Yukio think he was? Setting Rin up like that, and with his crush no doubt! He was truly going to die before Yukio got back, and there was nothing that could stop it. Bon was literally going to be the death of him, and the guy was going to be here any minute! What the hell was he supposed to do in the meantime? Dream of Sukiyaki for a whole two minutes?

At the exact thought of his favorite meal the demon's stomach lurched in an unsettling manner, making the demon lay back on the pillow and groan. The teen quickly pushing any though of food out of his mind and quickly tabooing it, before he opened his eyes and glared up at the ceiling. His thoughts turning back to the wannabe aria and dragoon, as he sighed and ran an hand though his messy bed head. The demon thinking that if he hadn't gotten sick or had told Yukio about his oncoming cold, then he wouldn't be stuck in this mess. Sick beyond compare and unexpectedly thrown into the arms of his crush. Just frickin perfect.

At that, the sound of the front door opening downstairs caught his attention; causing him to slightly panick and his tail to wrap around his arm. The teen letting out a curse as he turned and glared at the thing. The demon fighting the urge to rip the thing off his arm, before he gently tugged on it and gave up when it didn't budge. He swore the thing had a mind of its own and he didn't have the energy to get the thing off his arm. Being sick totally sucked.

"Oy, Okumura! Where the hell are you?" Bon yelled from downstairs, causing the demon to sigh.

The younger teen slowly pushing himself off the bed, before he grabbed the blanket Yukio had thrown on him and wrapped it around himself. The demon pulling the warm fabric tightly around his body, as he walked out of the room and stopped at the top of the stairs. The teen gripping the railing and he leaning against it.

"I'm up here." Rin spoke up, his throat burning a little.

At the sound of his voice, he heard footsteps and Bon came into view on the bottom floor. His hair pulled back in that stupid chicken look he loved and was dressed in normal clothing. The teen dressed in a pair of faded denim jeans and a white tank top, with a faded light red polo over it. His classmate wearing a pair of regular tennis shoes and a small bag on his shoulder, till he looked up and stared at him with a frown on his face.

"Shouldn't you be in bed?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow. "Okumura-sensei said you were pretty sick."

"My throat is sore." The demon easily replied, which immediately had the older off his case. "If you're hungry Ukobach will make you something. He's in the kitchen."

The brunette n' blonde waved his hand to acknowledge and dismiss the comment, before he started climbing the stairs. The demon leaning against the railing, whilw he watched his classmate and didn't bother moving when Bon stopped beside him. The older giving him a frown, as he stared down at him, before he sighed and crossed his arms.

"You going to get back in bed anytime soon?" He asked, frowning at him.

"What if I said I didn't want to?" Rin challenged, raising an eyebrow. "You going to tell Yukio on me?"

At that, the older swept the demon off his feet and carried him toward the twin's room. The demon letting out a squeak, as he clung to the older and felt his cheeks heat up in an instant. The only thing going through the younger's mind was that his crush was holding him, which was short lived as Bon walked into the demon's room and dumped him on the bed. The younger teen letting out a soft growl, the moment he hit the mattress, and glared up at his classmate with his cheeks flushed a bright red. His red tinted skin instantly being noticed by the older, before Bon reached out to touch his face and a hand grabbed it. Bon's fingers inches from his cheek, till they both looked over and saw the Headmaster standing beside them. One of his goofy smiles plastered on his face, while he watched the two of them and looked at Bon.

"I suggest you refrain from touching him, unless it's absolutely necessary." The Headmaster warned, before he let go of Bon's hand and Rin frowned up at him.

"What are you doing here, you stupid clown?" Rin demanded, making Bon give him a somewhat disapproving look and the demon sat up.

"I'm here to instruct your classmate on how to care for a sick demon." The stupid clown replied, while giving him an amusing smile. "Surely Yukio told you that."

At that comment he shut his mouth and kept quiet. The demon frowning to himself, just as he realized he had interrupted his brother before he got to that point. So, in all reality, he had no reason to complain about it and would only get in trouble for it later. So he just ignored the two of them talking, while he tried to occupy himself. His eyes wondering around the room, till they fell on his classmate and he stopped. The demon taking a few moments to take in the older's appearance, as his eyes trailed down his classmate's body. The tan skin in view practically torturing him, while his eyes trailed down the teen's neck and down his hidden chest. The faded red fabric gently hugging the teen's chest and waist, and letting him make out the lean muscles underneath. His eyes continuing their journey, before Bon turned toward him and the demon quickly looked away. His cheeks flushing a deeper red, as he snapped back to reality and heard the last of the Headmaster's instructions.

"That's about it. Just make sure you keep him warm and fairly fed." He finished, giving the young demon a smirk. "I already spoke to Ukobach and gave him a list of foods he'll cook for Rin. So you have nothing to worry about on that end. Just remember my instructions."

Bon gave their Headmaster a nod, before the stupid clown left with a cloud of smoke. The two of them left alone, while the demon looked toward his lap and played with the fabric of his sweatpants. His classmate silently watching him, before he knelt down in front of him and pulled the blanket off the demon's left shoulder. The younger teen jumping at the sudden action, till Bon grabbed the demon's arm and kept him still.

"Just relax, idiot. You're cutting the circulation in your arm off." Bon frowned, pointing to the tail around the younger's arm. "Let go."

"I can't." Rin spoke quietly, trying not to stutter.

"And why not?" Bon demanded.

"The thing has a mind of its own most of the time. It did it on its own and it won't let go."

Bon just frowned at him, before he muttered an insult under his breath and brushed his fingers against the slightly blue tinted skin of the demon's lower arm. Only for the younger to try and backup away from his classmate. His back hitting the wall almost instantly, just as Bon gave him a quick glance and turned his attention back to the demon's arm. His classmate's fingers traveling up the demon's arm, till they brushed against the younger's tail, the teen on the bed shivering at the older's touch, as his tail twitched in response. His classmate barely paying attention to his now red face, while he gently rubbed his fingertips against the black fur and gently massaged the appendage. A soft wave of pleasure washing over the teen, before he let out a purr and his tail slowly uncoiled around his arm. A numbing feeling running through his lower arm, til he reopened his eyes he hadn't known were closed and saw Bon giving him an amusing smirk. The demon quickly yanking his arm back from the older, before he wrapped the blanket around himself and looked down at his lap. Bon shaking his head as he stood up and headed for the door.

"I'll be back. Wait here." Bon half-ordered, before he left the room.

The demon letting a frown stretch across his face, till he pulled the blanket tightly around himself and looked down at the bed. The teen letting out a huff, as he glared down at the sheets and pouted. Bon had no reason to order him around like that. He was sick, after all. It wasn't like he was going to go jump out the window or something. He had no reason to and he wouldn't even if he was dared. After all, he felt lightheaded and he could only guess he had a really high fever from how hot his body felt. Nonetheless he just sat there and waited for his crush to return. The demon thinking back to how he had been checking out his classmate and instantly blushed at the fact. The young teen gently playing with the seam on the blanket, while he absentmindedly went through the past four months in his head and instantly frowned.

Was it him, or had Bon been avoiding him lately? Were they having less fights now a days, too? He couldn't even remember the last time they argued over something stupid, or when he was just punched by the guy. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that Bon had been a little calmer now a days. He never even flinched when the demon teased him in class or poked and prodded at his buttons. Bon had just been plain calmer and normal, and all the demon could do was wonder why. Had the guy gotten tired of him? Did he hate him, and decided to ignore him? Did he have a girlfriend?

The teen's train of thought instantly stopped, as he shook his head and gripped the blanket tighter. There was no way Bon had a girlfriend, he couldn't have one. At least from what Shima had told him. Him and the perverted pink-haired aria in training were best friends, and Shima was the only one who knew about his crush. It had only been his luck when the aria in training offered to keep tabs on Bon for him, and so far the teen hadn't told him anything unusual. So there was no way his crush had a girlfriend. Yet the more he thought about it, the more depressed he got. Why was his classmate so distant, and what had the demon done wrong?

"Well, that's surprising." Bon chuckled, walking in with a bowl of water and cloth. "I'm surprised you stayed."

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Rin demanded, frowning at his classmate.

"Well, knowing you, you can't sit still for more than five minutes." His classmate teased, making the demon's tail twitched in annoyance.

"You were gone for three minutes."

"Still surprised you stayed." Bon shrugged, walking over to the desk and setting the bowl and cloth down. "You can't sit still in class long enough to listen, and if you do you fall asleep."

"Did I ever mention I'm more of a practical person?" Rin challenged, causing Bon to frown at him. "Just because you're the smart one, and can memorize everything, doesn't mean you can pick on me. You get mad at me for the stupidest shit and half the time I don't even know what I did! You already forgave me for the son of Satan crap and for the thing with Miwa! What did I do to piss you off this time? Did I bruise your male ego? If it's that, then that's just pathe-"

Before the demon could react, the older grabbed the bowl of water off the desk and emptied the contents all over the younger teen. The cold water making Rin jump, before he quickly pushed himself off the bed and looked down at his wet clothes. The demon letting out a growl, till he glared at Bon and tried to call forth his flames. That was till nothing happened and the demon looked down at his hands in shock. The older just giving him a glare, while he crossed his arms and watched him.

"You won't be able to use your flames as long as you're either wet or too cold." Bon explained, making Rin stare at him in shock. "I was hoping we could be civil about this, but if you're going to be like this than you're on your own."

With that, the older pushed past the soaked demon and headed out the door. The teen slamming the front door behind him, while Rin wrapped his arms around himself and bit his lip. The demon feeling a small ache in his chest, as tears came to his eyes with no reason behind them.

"I'm such an idiot."
