"Nhnn… Izaya.." Shizuo mumbled, half asleep, half awake. He blinked to clear his blurred vision as he slowly awoke. "Izaya?"
"Yes, Shizu-chan?" Izaya replied from the other side of the bed. Shizuo rolled onto his other side and found himself staring right into Izaya's ruby eyes. He was lying rather close. Wasn't he afraid to catch whatever he had?
"How do you feel, Shizu-chan?" Izaya asked, placing his hand on the blonde's forehead. He didn't feel too warm anymore.
"Quite good, I guess," the blonde mumbled and sat up, stretching. Actually, he felt great. "I feel a lot better. Where's the thermometer? I'll take my temperature to prove it," Shizuo said, knowing very well that the black-haired would ask for proof if he wanted to get out of the bed today.
"It's on the night table," Izaya chuckled lightly.
Shizuo picked up the thermometer, pressed the little button and popped it in his mouth. After a short while it bibbed and he took it out of his mouth to look at the device.
"37 straight. Seems like I'm fine," the blonde smiled in relief. There really wasn't anything good about being sick. Well, maybe except for how caring Izaya had been. Not like he wasn't caring towards him on a normal basis, but it just felt a hundred times better when you were feeling sick and miserable.
"That's great, Shizu-chan," Izaya mumbled softly with a smile on his lips.
"I'll go take a shower then," Shizuo said, eagerly leaving the raven in the bed. He felt all sweaty and overall disgusting.
After taking a hot, relaxing shower, he returned to the bedroom, only wearing a towel around his waist. He went straight to the closet and quickly got dressed in some fresh clothes. It felt nice, being able to wear something clean.
That's when he noticed… Was Izaya still in the bed?
"Izaya?" Shizuo questioned the raven that hadn't seemed to have moved since Shizuo had left him. He approached the other male and sat down on the edge of the bed, facing Izaya's back.
"Hmm?" Izaya mumbled.
"Hey, Izaya," he said softly.
"Yes?" Wasn't his voice a bit hoarse? He sounded rather pathetic to be honest. Izaya slowly rolled over, lying on his other side to face Shizuo.
"Hey… are you alright?" Shizuo asked in a concerned tone.
"Yeah, I'm just a bit tired."
"You really don't look too good though." Shizuo placed a cool hand on Izaya's hot forehead and sighed softly. "I'm really no good at this kind of thing, but I think you have a fever."
"Impossible. I don't get sick, Shizu-chan."
"Well, you obviously do." Shizuo reached for the thermometer he had carelessly left on his side of the bed, pressed the button and held it before Izaya's mouth. "Open up."
Izaya reluctantly opened his mouth, afraid that the small device might disagree with him. When it bibbed, Shizuo took it out and another sigh left his lips.
"38,3. You are sick. Besides, you look horrible."
"Wow, thanks, Shizu-chan."
Shizuo frowned at the remark but decided to let it slide, since Izaya was in fact sick and probably not feeling the least well. "You should get some sleep."
"Yeah.. Are you sure you're feeling alright, Shizu-chan?"
"Yeah. I'm sure. Besides, my temperature is normal, remember?"
"Mm. You're right."
"Sleep tight, Izaya." Shizuo said and gently gave Izaya's head a quick nuzzle before he left the bedroom, in order to give Izaya some time to rest. He went into the living room and looked at the watch to check what time it was. 11 am. Since it was Sunday he decided he could just watch some TV, so he sat down on the couch and turned on the telly.
He felt kinda bad for Izaya since it was probably his fault that the guy got sick. Who was he kidding, it was his fault. Still, Izaya shouldn't have kissed him. Not that it mattered because now Izaya was sick and there was nothing Shizuo could do about it. Except for nursing Izaya like Izaya had nursed him. Not like Shizuo minded. He actually wanted to. He loved the raven after all.
Suddenly, the raven entered the living room, walking slowly towards the couch where Shizuo was sitting. He had the blanket wrapped around him and he was shaking lightly. Was he really freezing? The room was freaking hot if anything.
"Izaya, you should go to sleep." Shizuo said in a soft tone and Izaya nodded in response, tired eyes fixed on the blonde.
"I will," he spoke weekly. He took of his blanket and slowly laid himself down on the couch, using Shizuo's lap as a pillow. He pulled the blanket over his shaking body, lying on his side, facing the TV. "I'll sleep here. I feel lonely lying in bed all by myself."
"Izaya," Shizuo smiled softly, enjoying the company. Shizuo placed his warm hand on Izaya's arm which was covered by the blanket and began stroking it gently to warm him up a bit. He knew that Izaya's body was actually pretty warm and just fooling the raven, but he couldn't help but try to warm him up a bit, since he found the flea exceptionally cute and simply adorable with the way he acted.
After a while he stopped the stroking and instead intertwined his fingers in raven locks, fingertips gently rubbing against his scalp as he ran his fingers through Izaya's soft hair. Even his scalp felt warmer than usual.
"Mmm.." The raven purred, eyes closing. "Good night, Shizu-chan."
"Sleep tight, flea."
This is how the story ends xD I'm sorry it's kinda rushed, but I suddenly decided to end the story cuz I really am getting rather tired of this fic, mostly because it's SO POORLY WRITTEN, *cough*.
