Chapter Two
Kai blinked open his eyes. He heard the sound of coughing coming from beneath him.
"Lloyd?" He asked, sitting up. "You okay?"
"Uh," the green ninja began, his voice hoarse. "Y-yeah, I'm okay. Just not feeling great." He had another coughing fit.
Kai leaned over the edge of his bed. He peered down to the bottom bunk, where Lloyd was sitting up, coughing.
"Aw, I'm sorry buddy," Kai said. He climbed down from the top bunk and sat next to Lloyd. "Anything I can do to help?"
Lloyd shook his head. "I don't think so," he replied. "I just need to -" he broke off, coughing some more.
Kai moved closer and put his arm around the smaller boy's waist.
"Do you want some water?" He asked.
Lloyd looked up at him. "Yeah, that'd be nice," he answered.
Kai stood up, but Lloyd reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Wait!" He said. "I wanna go with you."
"You should rest," he told his friend. "You've got a cold."
"I don't want you to leave," Lloyd argued.
Kai smiled. "Okay, come on." He helped Lloyd up, and together they walked out to the kitchen.
Kai picked Lloyd up and sat him on the counter, then poured him a glass of water.
"Actually, I think Sensei has some tea that would work better," the fire ninja realized.
"Oh, yeah!" Lloyd said. "I totally forgot!"
Kai walked into the pantry. He dug through the boxes of tea for a few moments before coming back out. He had a small tea bag in his hand.
"Fount it," he announced. "Health Tea."
He put the tea in a mug, added water, and microwaved it. When it was done, he took it out and added an ice cube.
"Here you go, Green Machine," he said, handing the tea to Lloyd.
"Thanks, Kai," he responded. He took a sip of the tea, wrinkling his nose. "This is nasty," he remarked.
"But it'll make you feel better," Kai reminded him.
Lloyd sighed and took another drink. He finished the whole thing as quickly as he could.
"Good boy," Kai said.
Lloyd hit him playfully. "Thanks again," he replied, smiling.
Kai put the mug in the sink. He picked Lloyd up and carried him bridal-style back to their room on the Bounty.
When they got back to the room, Kai set Lloyd down on the bottom bunk before sitting down next to him.
"How are you feeling?" He asked.
"Better," the blonde replied. "Much better, now that you're here." He closed his eyes and snuggled up next to Kai.
Kai watched Lloyd, sighing lovingly. He leaned down and kissed him on the forehead.
Lloyd's eyes remained closed, but he smiled. After a few moments, he drifted off to sleep. He didn't cough once.
