The item (throat lozenges) is only really mentioned at the very end, sorry. -Rin
Throat lozenges
Ibu Shinji had a sore throat, and he'd been complaining about it for some time. Kamio Akira told him it was probably because he "never shut up".
"It is not because I 'never shut up', I think I might be getting sick, which would be bad for you, since you can't kiss me when I'm sick, and-" Akira put a hand over Shinj's mouth.
"If you want your throat to get better, you have to stop talking."
"Is this even considered talking? What if I'm just mumbling under my breath, does that count? Can I still-"
"You can't go five minutes without talking." Akira challenged. Shinji opened his mouth to refute that, but stopped when he caught the look Akira was giving him. The silence lasted about thirty seconds before Shinji broke it.
"What am I supposed to do if I can't talk? Sitting in silence is not enjoyable. Akira looks annoyed, I wonder why. Could it be because I am talking? But if I didn't talk-" Akira covered his mouth again.
"I can think of better things to do than talk." And he removed his hand from Shinji's mouth, moving closer to kiss him.
Several minutes later, when they finally broke apart for longer than the few seconds it took to breathe, Shinji opened his mouth again.
"I did not talk for five minutes. I win. I wonder if Akira had some sort of reward in mind for this accomplishment." Akira caught the last part and grinned.
"He can think of a few things." And they kissed again.
~Omake~
The next day Akira woke up with a sore throat, and immediately called Shinji.
"You gave me your sore throat!"
"I told you I was getting sick, but you insisted it was due to my talking." Akira couldn't make out the rest of Shinji's mumbling through the phone.
"What?"
"I said, have a throat lozenge. I have some nice cherry flavored ones if you'd like them."
