C is for Chicken Pox

[Nowaki x Hiroki]

Hiroki's POV

Fever, itchy rash, and not being able to move right because it itched so badly. I really regret not getting the shots for chicken pox when I could have. I grabbed my cellphone and called the school. "Hello, ah, it's Kamijo. Tell the dean that I won't be in today."

"Why?" Was he seriously… questioning me?

"Why should I tell you?" I asked.

"Because I want to know what to tell the Dean the reason for your absence is," he replied.

"Oh, right... I have the chicken pox," I said, frowning lightly.

"Ouch. Alright, I'll make sure to tell him." I wondered now if he really would.

Soon, I heard footsteps leading to a room. This room, to be exact. It was Nowaki, for sure. I hid my face as he opened the door.

"Hiro-san, breakfast is... why are you hiding?" I heard him walk closer. He pulled the blanket off of me. "Hiro-san... you have chicken pox," he said, placing his large hand on my forehead. "You have a fever, too," he said, frowning at the fact that I hadn't told him earlier.

"Yes, I have chicken pox, and don't touch me; you'll get it too!" I said, worrying about him only, of course.

He looked at me and laughed. "I already had chicken pox. You can only get it once in your life, so I'm safe." He smiled. I was relieved. He waited a little, and then said, "I'll go call off work, then I'll bring our food in here."

I looked at him, softly. "But..."

He looked at me once more. "But what? Aren't you hungry?" He knew what I meant when I said 'but', but he wasn't going to let me win. I knew that.

I sighed. "Yes... I am..."

Soon, he came back with our food and we ate. He cleared the food away, and we lay there, together, our hands intertwined.

The Next Week..

I was finally healed. And, after all that sleep, I woke up at 5:00 AM, before Nowaki. When I looked over at the man's face, it was covered in red spots. I screamed.

"Hiro...san?" he asked, obviously puzzled.

"I thought you said you already had the chicken pox," I said, sternly.

He looked more puzzled now than he had before, but as he went to rub his eye, he felt one of the lumps. "I must've had... something else... something very close, though."

"Idiot..." I said, smiling lightly at him.

He laughed a little, and then said, "Sorry, Hiro-san."

I sighed. "Well, as much of an idiot that you can sometimes be, I love you, Nowaki." My face burned as I said this, since I was blushing intensely. "I guess I won't be going back to work today after all, since I'll be here taking care of you because I knowI've already had this."

He smiled, then kissed me. "I love you too, my little Hiro-san."

I looked at him. "What do you mean 'little'? Are you referring to my height? I'm still older than you, you know. And... hey! Are you listen-" He kissed me, and I shut my mouth, forgiving him once more.

A/N: Okay... so this has taken me a long time, and I'm so sorry. I've been caught up in trying to get too many stories done. Forgive me? Welllll? How was it? I know you've all been waiting patiently for this. And lookie~ The little bars starting appearing because I'm now using Microsoft Office. Yaaaay. Expect many, and I literally mean many updates soon~
