Shion started at the sound of cough. He stopped stiring the soup and turned around, Nezumi was standing behind him, zipping the black jacket and coughing into his hand. He had been coughing for a few days. It rained a lot these day, but Nezumi had forgoten to bring an umbrella with him when he got back from the theater and became a dripping wet rat.
Shion asked in worry:
"Are you okay?"
"Yea I'm fine" The rat coughed few more times and said, his voice sounded raucous. He looked pale with a light pink cheeks "I have a show tonight"
"What?! But you are coughing! You can't sing!" Shion's high voice made the rat feel dizzy, he groaned and insisted
"I have to go. I'll come back soon"
Shion frowned and walked to him, placed a hand on his forehead. He shivered slightly, maybe the hand was too cold to him. The rat pushed it away and wore the scarf on, his feet were about to walk, but Shion had blocked his way. The white haired boy pushed him backward until he feel on bed
"You are not going anywhere. You got a fever" As he said, Shion gave Cravet a piece of paper and told the small rat to hand it to Eve's manager. Nezumi saw it and jolted up
"Hey!" But a deadly glare from Shion made him shut his mouth right then. He pinned him down, ordering
"Sleep. I will make some food for you"
Nezumi noded and obeyed, taking the jacket with scarf off and laying down, just liked a nice child. He was still too young to die in Shion's anger.
Placing a wet tissue on his forehead, the white haired boy pulled the blanket over Nezumi's neck, he said
"Sleep. I will make some food for you" The rat closed eyes and fell asleep quickly.
After making sure that Nezumi was sleeping, Shion continued to cook the soup. Chicken soup was good for the sicks, easy to eat and digest. He smiled to himself and took some soup into a bowl, then brough it to Nezumi's bed.
"Nezumi, wake up"
The rat groaned and sat up tirely, the tissue fell on his lap. Shion fed him spoons of soup, one by one, after he had blown the heat away.
The bowl got empty quickly. Placing it on table, Shion turned away and took the medicine while the rat was lying down and tried to sleep, but he couldn't.
"Take medicine before you sleep"
"No.." Nezumi groaned and frowned, nuzzling more to the warm blanket, but the white haired boy kept shaking him
"No what? Get up and take it, you will be better" Shion raised an eyebrow, pulling the blanket off.
"Go away..." The rat held the blanket tightly, didn't let Shion take it away from him. He turned away and coughed, showing his back to the boy. Nezumi was too tired to remember how 'dangerous' Shion could be when he got angry.
"Don't let me force you" The white haired boy frowned and said in a low voice, but it didn't use with a sick rat who just insisted
"I don't care..."
Nezumi was stubborn in trying to sleep without taking medicine. Suddenly a hand grabbed his shoulder and pulled him looking at Shion face to face. The next thing he knew was a pair of lip crushed on his with a warm tongue was pressing on his bottom lip, asking for an entrance. The rat blushed and shut his eyes, letting the tongue slip into his mouth. But he didn't think that the medicine and water was moved into his mouth as well. He couldn't do anything else but swallow it forcefully.
Hearing the sound of swallowing, Shion pulled away and smiled. Nezumi lay there with a gloomy face
"This is how you treat sicken people?"
"Nope~ 'Cuz you were to stubborn so that I had to feed you like that" Shion kept smiling brightly. The rat growled and pulled the blanket back to his neck, turning away
"I hate you..."
"I know you love me~" Shion replied with a cheerful voice, which made Nezumi feel more dizzy. He reminded himself not to get sick again, at least with other people's treatment except that stupid airhead.
