Repaying A Favor
"Ayuzawa!"
Misaki turned over in bed. She could hear the handsome blonde calling her, but she didn't want to get up. She was tired, too tired...
"Ayuzawa, it's already 7! I'm assuming you want to be late?"
Misaki shot up in bed. "7?! I have to go—" She was halfway through the sentence when she coughed.
Usui frowned. "Prez, are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah." She mumbled, standing up. "I'm fine."
Suddenly a wave of dizziness overcame her. She leaned onto the wall, trying to regain her balance. What's wrong with me? Misaki coughed again, letting go of the wall. Instantly, she fell backwards. "U...sui..."
The blonde's eyes widened. "Ayuzawa!" With a lightning speed impossible to match, he caught her in his arms. "Are you okay?"
Misaki closed her eyes. Her head was pounding. "Usui, I'm so tired...
Usui lifted her up bridal style. He placed a hand on her forehead and frowned. She was sick, he knew it had been inevitable. "You have a fever. You should be in bed."
"But I need to get to school..." Misaki protested.
"When you can't even stand up?" Usui chuckled, gently laying her down on his couch. He dipped a towel in ice water and placed it on her forehead.
"Usui, you idiot, what are you doing?" The student council president muttered.
"I'm taking care of you." Usui replied innocently. As if it was the most normal thing in the world. "Anything wrong with that?"
"Yes!" Misaki yelled, grimacing at the sound of her voice. "Everything's wrong with that!" She was about to say more when she started coughing.
Usui disappeared into the kitchen and moments later, returned with a thermometer and some medicine. "Open up."
Misaki snatched the thermometer from him and placed in her mouth. Moments later, Usui took it out and glanced at the numbers written on it. "39.5," He muttered. "That's a little high, but I think you'll be okay."
Usui glanced at the medicine and carefully poured some into a measuring cup. "Here."
Misaki stared at it in disgust. "I hate medicine."
"Would you'd rather have me feed it to you from my mouth?"
"P-Perverted space alien!" Misaki hurriedly opened her mouth, grimacing as she swallowed the bitter liquid.
Usui handed her a cup of water. "Here."
She crossed her arms. "I can get water myself." But nonetheless, she took the cup from him and silently downed the water.
When she was done, Usui took the empty cup from her. "Lay down."
Misaki blinked. "What?"
He chuckled in reply. "You should rest. You need it." Usui leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
"Okay, fine." Misaki sighed dramatically, unable to suppress a smile. Having him by her side was somehow comforting, and soon she was asleep, still holding tightly onto his hand.
It took every inch of will she had left to force her eyes open.
She looked around, expecting to find Usui still beside her. But he was gone. She stood up shakily and made her way to the kitchen. "Usui?"
He turned around. "Prez!" Usui rushed over to help her. "What are you doing? You're supposed to be in bed!"
Misaki coughed. "Usui, I'm fine."
"You're sick."
"I was sick, but I'm better now- Achoo!"
Usui chuckled. "Did you really think I'd believe that?" Gently, he wrapped his arms around the feverish girl.
"U-Usui, what are you doing?" Misaki stuttered, her cheeks turning bright red.
Usui grinned. Despite her frantic protests, he lifted her up bridal style and laid her down on the couch.
"Stay here," He commanded, walking over to the kitchen. Moments later he returned, holding a bowl of soup. He scooped up a spoonful of soup and blew on it. "Open up, Prez."
Oh, this was fun.
Misaki glared at him. "I can eat by myself."
He pouted childishly. "No fair! Prez got to feed me yesterday."
"That was because you were sick." She muttered bitterly.
"Well, you're sick now. So I get to feed you." He reasoned.
Misaki glared at him, obviously annoyed. "I'm fine, Usui! Stop acting like I can't do anything by myself!"
He pouted. "You're no fun."
"Too bad." She huffed.
"Please?" He said quietly, looking at her with pleading green eyes.
"Darn you, Usui. That's unfair." She muttered under her breath, but reluctantly opened her mouth nonetheless.
Instantly, her eyes widened. It was, well... amazing. "Did you make this?" She asked in disbelief.
"Yep." Usui smirked. "Does Prez like it?"
"N-NO!" She said hurriedly, then sighed when she saw the disappointment in his eyes. "F-Fine, I guess it's okay..."
Usui grinned playfully. When all the soup was gone, he placed a hand on her forehead, smiling in relief that her temperature was almost back to normal.
"Get some sleep," He whispered. He pulled the covers up to her cheeks and smiled.
When he thought she was asleep, he stood up, preparing to leave, when she grabbed his hand. "Usui..."
Misaki looked away, her dark bangs covering her golden eyes. "Stay with me..."
Usui looked surprised. "But I promised Manager I could make it today—"
"Please... don't go..." Her voice was barely a whisper.
Usui paused for a moment. Then he nodded, sitting down next to her. "Why, how selfish of you, Ayuzawa." He murmured playfully into her ear. But nonetheless, he laid down next to her, gently embracing the shivering girl.
Misaki smiled lightly. His arms felt so warm around her. Suddenly, she felt guilty for troubling him so much. She was embarrassed he had to see her in such a weak state, but at the same time, she was really grateful to him.
She couldn't imagine what it would be like without him. Not like she would ever admit it, but he really meant a lot to her.
"Thank you, Usui..." Misaki murmured quietly.
Usui blinked, surprised. "For what?"
"For taking care of me."
Usui chuckled softly. "I was simply repaying a favor."
Misaki smiled. Slowly, her eyes fell closed.
She looked so peaceful, with her cheeks slightly flushed and a slight smile still hinting at her lips. Usui couldn't help but lean over and capture her lips in his own.
And lost in a dream, Misaki murmured two familiar words.
"Baka Usui."
