"Mitsukuni, you should probably go to a doctor." Chika advised as he glanced at the thermometer later that evening.
"You don't have to do any of this, I know you don't want to." Honey replied calmly.
"You're right, I don't want to,but our father couldn't cancel the meeting and you're still not feeling good so I'm stuck with the job."
"He won't be back for a few hours, I'm not going to say anything, Takashi is coming soon. Go." Chika sighed.
"You know I can't. Father would -"
"He won't know unless you tell him. I know you hate me,it's okay. I don't want you to be stuck in here all night. When Takashi gets here, I'll tell him not to say anything."
"Do you have any idea how much trouble I could be in for leaving you with a fever like this, not to mention it's irresponsible and dishonorable."
"You know, it's disrespectful to not do what an older person tells you,go."
"Mitsukuni-"Chika was interrupted his cousin entering the room. In his arms, he carried what appeared to be homework.
"Mitsukuni, how are you feeling?" He asked before sitting down next to the bed.
"not really good right now. I'll be okay.I just need to lie down for a little longer." The ailing boy smiled faintly. He wanted to reposition himself into a more comfortable spot but the further discomfort was hardly worth it.
Mori placed the books on the night stand.
"I doubt you'll be doing any of it tonight but I got your homework for you."
"Thank you Takashi." Chika remained silent, he observed his brother, his face was pale and to Chika's knowledge, Mitsukuni hadn't eaten at all. His older brother rarely wanted to be in bed,even when he had the flu it was difficult to keep him in his bed and resting.
"Your fever got worse, we need a cool cloth for your head." Chika turned to get the required objects when he accidentally bumped into the side of the bed, shifting his brother.
"Ow!" Honey cried out painfully.
"Mori stood up in alarm but didn't get the chance to say anything.
"That hurt you?" The young boy asked trying to hide the concern.
"It's nothing, I'm-"
"Tell me." Chika demanded. Honey nodded. Chika placed a hand over honey's stomach.
"Don't Chika-Chan, please." Mitsukuni requested.
"I want to be sure, where did you say it hurt?"
"Don't touch it." Honey warned.
"Tell me where."
"why do you care so suddenly?"
"Father made me responsible for you,if something happens-"
"It won't. I just need- Ow!'he cried again as Chika pressed down on his belly. He grabbed his brother's hand and pushed him away. Chika stood still for a minute , then he pushed his glasses back onto his face and pulled out his phone.
"What are you doing?' Honey asked in obvious pain.
"Calling our father, it hurt you when I touched it. That's not good."
"So why bother our father?'
"He'd want to know why we won't be here when he comes home."
"Chika-Chan, I'm-"
"You need a doctor mitsukuni,I mean it, you're going to the emergency room."
