Okay, confession time, I just adore sickfics! They are just too cute! So after years of reading sickfics, I decided that it was ample time for me to give back to the community! So without furhter ado...
Raining cats and dogs was not a term Otoya Ittoki would normally use, but the icy rain came down in relentless floods as he ran back to his dorm. I should've listened to Tokiya! I should've listened when he told me to take an umbrella! He silently cried. Okay, just a little more…I'll reach the dorm in a-"Oof!" He exclaimed as he slipped and fell face down on the hard pavement, groceries scattering everywhere. "Oww…" Otoya muttered nursing a bleeding arm, he looked for the bag he was carrying and half panicked at the sight of the scattered items, Oh no! Reiji-senpai's stuff! It's gonna get soaked! Ignoring the pain in his arm, he hurriedly picked up the items and stuffed them back into his bag and began running back to the dorm again.
"Hey Toki," Reiji kotobuki called out to his junior, "Don't you think Otoyan's taking a little too long? I mean, it's been almost an hour.
Ichinose Tokiya looked up from the notebook he was writing lyrics in, "I guess so." He said nonchalantly but his mind swirled with worry, it was pouring outside, That idiot didn't even take an umbrella, I hope he took a bus or a taxi, I swear if he comes in soaked I'm gonna- the dark haired boy's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door. "I'll get it, it must be Otoya." He said walking over to the door and opening. A drenched and shivering walked in with a mumbled thanks.
"Otoya!" Tokiya exclaimed grabbing the bag from the younger boy's blue tinged fingers, "I told you to take an umbrella!"
"S-sorry." Otoya apologized, his teeth were chattering and the pain in his arm was almost unbearable.
"Otoyan! Don't tell me you ran all the way here from the store!" Reiji asked in disbelief.
"S-sorry." The redhead apologized again and cringed, his arm felt like it was on fire.
Tokiya noticed his friend's discomfort, he looked him up and down, "You're arm's hurt." He noted worriedly.
"Yeah, I kinda f-fell down-" he started to reply but began shivering uncontrollably.
"First off, go change into dry clothes, now!" Reiji ordered, stuffing a change of clothes into the younger boy's arms and pushed him to the bathroom.
Five minutes later Otoya was out and in the meantime his roommates had found a small first aid kit.
"Sit here." Reiji said and patted an empty space next to him on the side of his bed. "Now, let me take a look at that arm." He said kindly.
The redheaded boy obeyed and rolled up his sleeve to reveal a nasty gash. "Where's Tokiya?" He asked.
"I told him to get you something warm to drink," His senior replied, "That wound looks nasty, I can clean it and bandage it but you might need stitches."
Otoya's eye's widened in panic and he jerked his hand away, "No way! I hate needles!"
"Calm down, I said you might, let's clean it up first." Reiji grabbed the bottle of antiseptic and a cotton swab, "Okay, I'm gonna warn you, this is going to sting like crazy, so please try to stay still."
Otoya nodded and watched as his senior expertly cleaned the wound, biting his lower lip so he wouldn't utter out loud any cry of pain.
"All done!" The brown haired man beamed as he finished wrapping the bandage. "Take care not to put too much weight on it and I'll have to change those bandages tomorrow. I'll be going now."
"Thanks Reiji-senpai."
"No problem kid."
"I'm back." Tokiya announced as he came in, a steaming mug of hot chocolate in his hand. "Here, drink this." He said holding out the mug to Otoya.
"Thanks." He gratefully accepted it and took a sip, enjoying the feeling of the drink warming him from inside.
Tokiya stared at his friend, trying to see if there was anything else wrong, he looks pale, but his cheeks are slightly flushed…I'll have to keep an eye on him…He noted silently.
"Tokiya…Tokiya!"
The dark haired boy was jolted out of his thoughts, "Hm, yeah?"
"I just wanted to know why you were glaring at me." Otoya tilted his head, "Did I do something?"
Tokiya sighed, "No, nothing, I was just thinking." He replied.
"Thinking about what?" Otoya pressed, a mischievous smile lit up his face, "Is it something naughty?"
"No, I was just thinking about how much fun it would be to see you screaming in horror as we get your arm stitched up if you don't shut up and finish your drink."
Otoya pouted, "Tokiya is so mean! He doesn't love me one bit!"
The older boy waved it off with a slight grin, "Yeah, Yeah."
He hardly touched his meal... Tokiya frowned, but curry is his favorite. He could hear Otoya tossing and turning in the bed below his. Well, maybe he'll be back to normal tomorrow.
He wasn't. Tokiya was awoken by the sound of wracking coughs coming from the bed below him. He put a hand under his pillow and took his phone out, it read five minutes to seven, in five minutes his alarm would have gone off anyway.
"Otoya," He whispered loudly, worried by the continuous coughing, "Otoya, are you alright?" Of course he's not alright, idiot! What a stupid question to ask. He looked around the room, Reiji wasn't there, the man always left at exactly 6:30 in the morning for a run and would be back half an hour later. He quickly climbed down the ladder and bent over Otoya. The younger boy's coughing fit had ended but his body was shivering uncontrollably. Tokiya brushed away some of the redhead's bangs and placed a hand on his forehead. He's really burning up…The older boy thought in worry.
"Otoya…" He said gently shaking his shoulder, "Otoya, wake up."
"Yeah…?" Otoya replied in a hoarse voice and opened his eyes slowly, "T-Tokiya…?" He began coughing again and curled up tightly under his blankets. "It's c-cold."
"I'll get another blanket?" Tokiya asked kindly. The redhead nodded. He walked over to the drawer and pulled out an extra blanket. He came back to the shivering boy and spread it over him.
"Other than the cold is there anything else?"
"M-my chest kinda h-hurts."
"I'm back!" A cheery voice called from the door. Reiji bounced in, "Rise and shine you tw-what's up?"
"Otoya's not doing too well." Tokiya answered, straightening up.
Reiji's face went from cheerful to serious, "Not well? What's wrong?" He asked and quickly made his way to his junior's side.
"He has a really high fever, chills, coughing and he said his chest hurt."
"Oh shit." Reiji swore, "It sounds bad, let's not take any chances here. Help me get him off the bed."
Tokiya nodded and firmly gripped the younger boy by his midriff.
"Wh-what are you guys d-doing?" Otoya asked weakly struggling against Tokiya's grip on him.
"Taking you to the infirmary." Reiji answered innocently, "Hey Tokiya, think you can hoist him onto my back?"
"I c-can walk!" The younger boy protested, his face as red as his hair. "Tokiya! Let go!"
Tokiya shot him a smirk, "Right, you expect me to believe that when you can't even break off my hold."
"Otoyan…" Reiji said gently, placing a cool hand on his junior's burning forehead, "Just let me carry you there, I already feel guilty about making you get drenched to get my stuff. C'mon,be a good boy."
"Fine…" Otoya muttered feeling weaker than ever and let himself be carried by his senior.
