A funny and maybe Little stupid story with moral. Hope you'll have a fun! Sorry about my Enlish.
Ikki packed his things. This time it was sure, He leaves for long time. Firstly he didn't discovered that Shun is standing near him. Phoenix looked at him.
- Shun, you remember, that I'm leaving tomorrow, right?
Green haired boy didn't answeared, just noded sadly. He couldn't sleep last night. Always worried about brother, knew, that he won't see him really long time.
- You look pale. – ikki looked at him. – You okay?
- Yes Nii… - Shun started, but stopped suddenly. – It's my chance… Maybe if I'll be sick he will stay? But… It'll be unfair… But I really want him to stay! Uh… I don't have much time to think. Oh, just do it Shun! Just like that, nothing will happen! You don't want him to go, do you?
- Shun? – Ikki started slowly.
- I can not… - Yes, Nii-san…
What could he do? He couldn't deceive his own brother! Shun wasn't able to sleep this night again.
- There have to be a way to make him stay… Something.. Anything… It's to much for me, I don't want to loose him again! – Shun hitted his pillow – There is a way… - One voice in his head whispered to him. – And you know what it is… He wont discover it and you make him stay some longer. Think about it… He will be taking care of you… You always wanted it, didn't ya? – Shun shacked his head – I cant to this… I… - He said quietly, but didn't end his sentence.
*Next morning *
- Morning Shun. – Ikki smiled
- Morning… - He heard quiet answear.
- Uhm…So, good bye, Shun. – Gets his rucksack and Phoenix cloth. Wanted to go already, but Shun stopped him.
- Nii-san… How long it'll take you? – Shun didn't looked at him. He just couldn't.
- Few months… Maybe a little bit longer? But I'll back, I promise.
Shun tried not to cry. He just wanted to hide himself to not make Ikki see that.
- Shun… I'll be back soon. Take care of yourself, you're really pale. You eat enough?
-It's my chance… I have to do this… I HAVE TO! – I.. It's not like that… I… - Push himself to cry – It hurts!
- Hurts? – Ikki put away his rucksack and get near his little brother.- What hurts?
- Um… My stomach! It hurts really much! – Sorry Ikki…
- But you had nice appetite yesterday… You were eating and it was okay. – Looking at him. – But you really are pale…
Shun stated sobbing. He was quite a good actor.
- It started at night… I… - He turned his eyes up and fallen on the floor. Pretending fainting wasn't that hard than he expected.
- Shun! – Ikki get near him, but it was too late to catch him. – Hey, Shun? Can you hear me? What's wrong? – His voice was full of worried.
- Uh… I'm sorry Nii-san… - I cant like that. I have to repair it somehow. But… I cant make him know that I was lieing him… He will be… Uh, I don't even want to think… - I'm better now. You can go, it.. Um… It all stopped, sorry.
- No! – His older brothers voice was strong. Shun started to think that he discovered his lie, but no. – Don't move… - Voice became gentle. Ikki taken him to bed. – Rest here, I'll make you some tea. Inform me about everything how do you feel! My Gosh… What were you eating yesterday?
- Nothing bad…
- Don't lie
- But I…-
- Maybe it's a stomach flu?
- Um…- Ikki interrupted him again.
- I'll make you some porridge. It always help for stomach problems. – He go out from room.
Shun sighs. He was in big trouble. Especially knowing Ikkis cooking. If he wont blew up kitchen, what happened almost 20 times, the food which he making is always uneatable
- It wont be THAT bad. If nothing will happen to me he'll think I'm okay now and he'll never get know…
Ikki get into room. He was holding something.
- Here. – Ikki gave him tea and thermometer – Check your fever. You're all red on face, I'm worried…
- Sigh! I'm blushing… I need to stop! But… how? I'm always blushing when I'm lieing someone…
Ikki gone to kitchen again. Shun checked his fever, it was okay. 36.6 C (Polish temperature. Dunno how is in USA etc.). Smiling, Shun putted thermometer on bedside table. Now, when Ikki will see it he'll stop worry.
- Checked your fever Shun? – Phoenix appeared in doors . When his little brother nooded he said – Let me look. – Smile disappeared from his face. – 39.5? – He shouted. – You have a big fever!
- What? How? Wait… - He looked at bedside table and he suddenly dawned. –Nuts! I put thermometer to contact with my tea! Temperature grew! How could I be that stupid?
- It's okay, don't worry… - Ikki tried to smile. – Eat something. You;ll feel better. – He was really worried. Shun saw it especially when he gave him medicans. – Take it…
- Uh-oh.. I shouldn't get any medicans if I'm healthy… Uh…
- What's wrong, Nii-chan?
- I cant take it… - Shun trying not to look at Ikki.
- Why? Are you feeling sick?
- Um…
- Take it… - Ikki pet him on head – You'll feel better.
Shun swallowed it. He had no other choice. Ikki seems to be happy seeing that.
- Here – He gave him some porridge. – Eat some. It's good.
- Uhm.. – Shun tried It, but chocked on –Yuck! It making me feel really sick!
- You okay? – Ikki asked him. Shun wanted to say "yes", but he want able to. He run to the toilette and trew up. – Oh no.. – ikki said to himself. – He's worse…
- Uh… - Was it really a porridge? Or poison?
- Are you feeling better? – Ikki asked – Maybe we should call for the doctor?
- No, no! I felt better… Maybe something just stuck on my stomach and when I trew up I felt better! – Said fast. It sounds like a good idea.
- But your fever…
- I'll be fine!
- Take some rest, Shun… Wanna eat some more?
- No! … I-I mean.. I'm not hungry.
- Okay, I'll leave it for later.
- Later?
- Yes, to make you eat some… You cant eat anything heavly now, just light, simple things.
- uh-oh… - Nii-sanm you don't have to, I'm better, see? - Tries to stand, but stumbles on his shoe lying on the floor. Ikki didn't noticed shoe.
- Shun! - Ikki screamed and catched him – See? You're to weakened… You need rest. – His voice was really soft.
- But… It was an acci..-
- Shhh… It's okay… Your brother is here – Puts him on bed - Take some sleep, I'll be with you here. – Shun Blushed. - You're red again... - Pets him - I'm sure you'll be better tomorrow... - Looks pretty worried.
- Maybe if I'll be sleeping all night without anything and be okay morning he will bring me alone? And I wont have to say truth! - Okay Niisan, I'll rest..
- I'll just make sure that you're fine, okay?
- ... Okay.-Sighs- But... you'll be here behind the wall... I'll call you if something happen.
