Akashi stared down at his phone. He had just gotten off the train after coming down from Kyoto to spend the weekend with his boyfriend and was about to send him a text to let him know he'd be there shortly, however his phone had apparently died during the train ride. He probably should have kept a closer eye on the charge level. Shrugging his shoulders he started making his way towards Kouki's home. Kouki knew he'd be arriving around now anyway since he didn't have practice today and was going to be leaving almost immediately.

The weather was comfortable as it was still early evening, so Akashi enjoyed the short 15 minute walk from the station to Kouki's. They had been planning this for a couple weeks, since they had both been busy with exams and training and hadn't been able to talk very much. Kouki's parents were going away as well, so they'd have the house to themselves and when they had been talking a couple days ago both were looking forward to just enjoying a nice relaxing weekend in together.

Arriving at the Furihata residence Akashi made his way up the front step before ringing the bell. Frowning slightly to himself after a couple minutes with no answer he rang the bell again. Kouki should be home as he didn't have any practice today either, and knew what time Akashi would be arriving.

Finally after another couple minutes he heard shuffling on the other side of the door.

'Maybe he was sleeping, that would explain the wait' he thought, straightening slightly as the door began to open. However the image that greeted him was not what he was expecting. There, standing in the door way wrapped in a blanket and basically looking like death warmed over was his boyfriend. Without even thinking about what he was saying he blurted out.

"You're sick?!"

"Thank you for that wonderful observation Captain Obvious." came the nasal sounding sarcastic response. Leaning his weight against the door frame Furihata wrapped his blanket tighter around him before continuing.

"So what are you doing here Sei? Didn't you get my message?"

Flushing slightly Akashi still managed to respond in a dignified manner.

"I'm afraid my phone died without my noticing, so I didn't receive it. I'm assuming that it was pertaining to your current condition?"

"Yes, it said I was sick and for you not to come until tomorrow." sighing heavily and running a hand down his face, Furi stood up and opened the door wider before shuffling away and motioning for Akashi to enter.

"Nothing for it I guess, but I'm going to have to stick you on the couch. I don't want you to get sick. You know where everything is so help yourself."

"Nonsense Kouki, if you're ill the least I can do is help look after you. Have you eaten anything?"

"Sei, you don't need to look after me. Really, I'll be fine in the morning...and no, I haven't eaten yet."

"I insist Kouki. Now, you go rest and I'll make a soup for supper and wake you when it's ready."

Rolling his eyes Furihata nodded.

"Fine, but you're still sleeping on the couch." he said as he started in the direction of his room.

"Also, if you get sick I get full rights to say 'I told you so'."

"Of course, however I highly doubt I will become ill in the span of 24 hours. Now rest, I'll wake you shortly."

Giving a quick wave over his shoulder to show Akashi that he heard him, Furi headed back to his room. There was no point in arguing with his other half when he was like this. Oh well, it was nice at least and he was getting some good soup out of it he just hoped that Akashi wouldn't get sick.

Something told him that they wouldn't be that lucky.
