The sun rose up brightly in the sky. The birds were chirping melodiously on the trees as most living things in the world started to wake up from their dreams.
In Dragneel's residence, Zeref was sleeping soundly in Natsu's arm. As the sun rose up, the sunlight inevitably shone upon his face through the glass window, making him awoke from his sleep. Groaning, Zeref slowly released himself from Natsu's grasp and made himself in a sitting position. He then shook Natsu's body to wake him up.
"Natsu... wake up," said Zeref in a sleepy voice, still shaking Natsu's body lightly. "Natsu... it's already morning..."
"Unghh..." Natsu groaned, refusing to wake up from their comfy bed. "Zeref..."
Natsu took hold of Zeref's arm and pulled him into his embrace, trying to regain the warmth he had just lost earlier and slowly allowing Natsu to continue his sleep once again. Realising Natsu's action of wanting to go back sleeping, Zeref quickly pushed Natsu to escape from his embrace.
"Natsu!" yelled Zeref, softly. "It's not time for you to sleep—!"
Zeref looked at Natsu, who was breathing heavily. He then placed his right palm on Natsu's forehead, to confirm what he had in his mind. Unfortunately, his suspicion was correct. Natsu's forehead felt very hot, making Zeref shocked of the hotness he felt.
"Natsu—you're extremely hot!" Zeref exclaimed, quickly getting up from the bed. "It seems like you have a severe fever. I will get some herbs and foods for you!"
Zeref went out of the room, leaving Natsu alone in their bed. About an hour after that, Zeref came back a glass of water which was mixed with herb leaves, a bowl of potato mixed with some vegetables porridge, and a bowl of chicken soup on a tray. He put the tray on the table, near to their bed. Then, he sat on the bed, next to Natsu.
"Natsu," Zeref called, gently shaking Natsu's body. "Wake up. You should eat first."
Natsu, with the help of Zeref, got up slowly in a sitting position. Natsu opened his eyes, slowly adjusting his eyes to the brightness before him. He looked at the foods which were placed on the table.
"Zeref...?"
"Yes, Natsu. I've prepared a breakfast for you," said Zeref. "What do you want to eat first, the porridge or the soup?"
"Por... ridge..."
Zeref lifted the porridge up from the tray. "Here," Zeref took a spoonful of porridge and fed Natsu slowly. Natsu obediently ate the porridge, taking it slowly into his mouth. It took a while for him to finish the porridge as he was having difficulty with swallowing the porridge. Not because it was inedible, of course.
After Natsu finished with his first meal, Zeref put the empty bowl back on the tray, and took Natsu's second meal; the chicken soup. Just like how he ate the porridge, he ate the chicken soup slowly too until he was finished. Satisfied with Natsu's effort to finish all his foods which he made, Zeref smiled.
"Natsu, before you sleep, drink this first," Zeref lifted up the glass-filled water with herb leaves. As Natsu swallowed the liquid, he winced at the bitter taste, but successfully finished the drink nonetheless.
Zeref put the empty glass back on the tray and helped Natsu to rest his head on the pillow. Zeref then placed a soft kiss on Natsu's forehead, smiling.
"Have a good rest, Natsu."
Feeling content, Natsu then fell into a peaceful sleep.
