"EWW!" No way!"
Kazune had a sealed bottle with swampy green liquid inside. It didn't take a genius to figure out what it was. Karin shook her head furiously. Which, I can guarentee, worsened her headache.
"Yuck! If you think I'm drinking that mess you're nuts!" she yelled.
"Oh, C'mon. It's not that bad. It'll make you feel better so stop being such a baby." he sneered.
"If it's not that bad then YOU drink it!" she fumed.
"I'm not the one who's sick, am I?" he countered. He set the bottle on the nightstand and leaned over her again feeling her forehead. She blushed. "See? I think your fever's gotten worse. You're all red."
"Oh...I..uh..."
"It's fine. You don't have to take it right now." he sighed.
"I don't?"
"No. You haven't eaten yet anyway. You can't take medicine on an empty stomache. So...what do you want?" he said casting her a very nonchalant glance. She was in a massive giggle fit. "What's so funny?" she paused to look at him, only to start laughing again. "What is it?!" he said clearly irritated.
"Y-you're gonna c-c-cook?! Ahaha!" she rolled over on her side. "You've gotta be kidding me!"
"Hey! It's not funny! I can cook!" he said agrilily. He was flushed from anger and embarassement. A deep blush had crept up from his neck and covered his cheeks. Karin noticed and only laughed harder.
"Girly-man! Now you're BLUSHING too?!" she kept rolling and eventually fell off the bed. But she was so hysterical she didn't notice. "This is just too much!"
"ARGH!! I CAN COOK!!!"
"Betcha can't!" she said. She had picked herself up shakily and climbed back in bed. She still couldn't stop the giggles though.
"Heh. You're on!"
"Huh?" she asked confused.
"If I prove to you that I really can cook, then you have to take your medicine without a fight." he said smirking.
"You're on girly-man!" she laughed and shook his hand while he smiled triumphantly. Confident he would win this easy, he left to get started on Karin's 5-star meal. Heh. Won't she be surprised.
Karin was reading a magazine to pass the time. Who knew how long it would take the chauvanist to cook. I can't believe he's gonna cook. Himeka-chan does all that stuff. I bet he's never cooked a day in his life! I'm gonna win this easy. She leaned back and sighed, splaying the open book on her lap. She looked over at the nightstand where the bottle sat. She glared hard at it wishing it would explode under the pressure of her ice-cold stare. Alas, it was just a glass bottle and therefore was too dumb to understand how much she hated it. It remained intact. Stupid medicine. Stupid cold.
"I'm back." Kazune said walking in with a tray in his hands. ...Stupid Kazune-kun. she thought. "Here. Your gormet breakfast."
"So you DID hire a chef!" she said pointing in his face. He swatted her hand away.
"Just eat it!" he ordered. He removed the magazine from her lap and replaced it with the tray. Karin scanned what she assumed to be food. Her breakfast consisted of: A three cheese omelet, two slices of pre-buttered toast, sausage and a glass of orange juice. "Heh. It looks delicious doesn't it?" he boasted.
"It looks..." she thought a moment. "...edible."
"Then eat, dammit!" he yelled agitated. She hesitantly grabbed her fork and went for the omelet.
"If I don't make it..." she started sqeezing her eyes shut. "Kazune-kun...take good care of Shii-chan." Kazune rolled his eyes at her theatrics and muttered something that sounded like 'overly-dramatic little brat'. She lifted it to her mouth and took a small bite. Chewing slowly to take in the taste. She swallowed and her eyes widened. Kazune smirked. "Oh my god..." she said quietly. "Oh my GOD!!"
"Heh. Well? What do you think?" he asked crossing his arms and looking rather pleased with himself.
"It's...it's..." she trailed off a minute. "It's actually EDIBLE!!!" she shouted looking truly shocked. Kazune thought he might explode.
"That's an understatement!" he yelled plopping down on the bed beside her.
"Heehee! Wow! I had no idea you knew how to cook Kazune-kun!" she smiled joyously. The look on her face did make him blush.
"Y-yeah, well...So does this mean I win our little bet?" he asked already knowing the answer.
Karin's face dropped. "I guess...just let me finish eating!" she said digging into her food. Kazune laughed.
"Sure thing." he waited patiently while she ate every last bite.
"Mmm! You should cook breakfast more often. How come you've never done it before?"
"Hmph! Because cooking is a women's job! But I guess since you're sick you can't really help it." he said as rude as ever.
"Ya know...normally I'd hit you for that, but since you did make me breakfast and all I guess I'll let that one slide." she said shrugging it off.
"Wow...you must be sicker than I thought." he said surprised she would dismiss one of his sexist comments as nothing. "I better go ahead and give you this." he said reaching for the bottle. "I'm surprised you didn't try to dispose of it."
"I did." she admitted. "But my amazing 'mind powers' couldn't break it."
He sweatdropped. "...I wonder why." she shrugged and he poured the liquid onto a spoon. "Open up." he instructed, holding the spoon out to her. She looked disgusted. Her lips formed a thin line. "I won the bet, Karin. We argreed you weren't gonna argue about this." He was right. She slowly opened her mouth and Kazune fed her the medicine.
"Ugh!" she shuddered visibly. "I hate medicine."
"Idiot." Kazune muttered.
"Hey! If I was and idiot I wouldn't be sick in the first place."(from a phrase i heard. "the idiot never catches a cold") she said pointily.
"Okay. Fine dummy. Have it your way. Just try to get some rest for now. That medicine might make you a little drowsy."
"I don't wanna sleep! I've been sleeping all day!" she whined.
"But it's only 11." he pointed out.
"I don't care!" she fell back onto the bed and turned her head to face him. He raised an eyebrow in question. "I'm bored. Entertain me."
Cuxie: I'm stopping here. It's a little longer than I intended.
Kazune: You say that like it's a bad thing.
Cuxie: Well this took a few HOURS! I didn't go to school today and thought I would spend the day updating. Ya know, since theres really nothing good on TV 'til 2 o'clock.
Kazune: Well at least you're keeping preoccupied.
Cuxie: Kay. What a day this has been. NEways! R&R my peeps!
Kazune: And stay tuned for the next chapter of "Sick Days"!
