Chapter 09 - The flu and Nurse Aki

Yusei woke up the next morning feeling like a week puppy, looking at the clock he knew he had to get up as he wanted to spend some time alone with Akiza somewhere. He managed enough strength to get up and use the bathroom, but he could not walk very quickly and couldn't even keep his balance. "Man what's wrong with me today. I want to see Akiza but I can't even walk right now. I'll just keep going and will get through this like I always do somehow." He said to himself. He managed to make it to the bathroom and started by using the toilet, however with his limited strength he decided to sit down to use it since he did not want to hurt himself if he collapsed. After cleaning himself up he returned to his room to get dressed, this turned into a challenge as well, he did the same and stayed sat down to do the said activity. He did manage to grab his personal phone before walking out to head down to the living area but his balance was getting worse the longer he was on his feet.

Before he could even get to the sofa his strength failed him and he collapsed onto the floor. His breathing became heavy as he tried to get to the sofa to no avail, the reason being his body felt like it weighed a ton. "Dam I can't even move. I hate to say it but I need some help." Yusei said as he pulled out his phone. He looked at his contacts which only had one number in it 'Martha' was the only number he had since he only decided to get one recently. "Martha is the only one that can help right now!" he said as he dialled the number.

Martha was getting ready to go out for supplies when she heard her phone ring. "I wonder who would ring me at this time? It can't be Yusei since he ring's me in the evening unless he needs help with something." She said as she walked to the phone and saw it was Yusei's personal number. "Oh no what's happened?" she said as she answered the phone. "Hello Yusei how are you this morning? Why are you not using the twins phone?" she questioned. "Ma-martha ... I need ...help I ... can't move." Yusei said. Martha noticed that Yusei's voice was not right which ment he was eather unwell or hurt. "Yusei where are you right now?" Martha shouted. "At Home .. can't move..." he said before the phone cut off. "Yusei sounds like in trouble but I have things to do... hold on I know who could help right now and they live on route to where I am going." She said as she grabbed an address book and ran out to her car and drove out.

Akiza was enjoying her breakfast while looking for jobs in domino. "All these jobs are full time! I just what some I can do part time until I know what I want to do." She said while thinking about Yusei, all of a sudden she heard a car pull up by the main gate outside the house. 'Who could that be?' she thought as she looked out and saw Martha. "Miss Akiza there is a Martha at the gate wanting to see you. Shall I let her in?" Jenny asked. "Yes let her in I will meet her outside!" Akiza said before running out of the room. As Martha pulled up to the house Akiza wondered why she would show up here. "Akiza I am glad your here right now. I need your help." Martha said in a worried tone of voice. "What's happened Martha? How can I help?" Akiza asked she was getting worried. Martha pulled out a card from her pocket and gave it to Akiza. "Yusei is in trouble at the twin's house in the tops and I haven't time today to get up there right now. Could you go up there and help him?" Martha asked. "Hold on Yusei is in trouble! Yes I can help but what's wrong with him?" Akiza replied. "I don't know Akiza, his voice sounded like he has a cold but all he told me was 'he can't move and feels weak.' I tryed to find out what was wrong but the line dyed before I could find out. That key card will let you in to the tops and to where Yusei is staying right now. Please take care of him Akiza." Martha explained. Akiza did not need to think about it her nurse training kicked in, "Don't worry Martha I will make sure he get well." Akiza said making Martha relax. "Thank you Akiza I am counting on you, good luck." Martha said before leaving Akiza to get ready. "Jenny get the limo and my medical gear ready to go." Akiza ordered Jenny and she nodded and got to work. 'I'm coming Yusei, just hold on.' She thought forgetting that her non custom nurse coat was in the bag in question.

As Akiza set off to help Yusei, Jenny was left wondering what happened but did over hear Yusei's name. "Something must have happened to him to make them this upset, if he was hurt both me and Akiza would have know right away through the dragon marks." She thought out loud before closing her eyes to use the link she had to check on Yusei. All Jenny could feel was a weak energy and a feeling of a heavy weight on top of her, that combination made no sense to her which made her worry about her mission. "I hope Yusei is ok, but with the connection those two share I believe she will help." She said before deciding to resume her duties. 'It's funny this was the one part of this mission I was not looking forward to but I enjoy it. I guess I see now why humans enjoy this sort of thing. Plus I get to help Akiza with her outfits to show off herself to her lucky man as well.' She thought.

20 minutes later the limo arrived at the tops and Akiza got out with the key card, medical bag and medical ID card with her. She needed this so no-one could stop her from accessing the building. Surprisingly though no one stopped her so she got to the elevators quickly, swiped the key card and the lift took her straight to the twins apartment. "I wonder if this Yusei's place is the same as in that dream?" Akiza asked herself. As the lift continued her thoughts slipped to thinking about the dream in Yusei's place and what happened during it, she quickly shock those thoughts out of her head. "Great now I am thinking about showering with Yusei, I have a job to do right now so that thought can wait for another day." She said before the lift arrived at the top level, Yusei's place!

Yusei was feeling bad since he could not move and wanted to see Akiza, right now he was picturing her in his head. In his eyes Akiza was everything to him now, his life, his future and even his heart belonged to her but he wished he could tell her that. "I hate this I need to see her right now. I need her smile to wake me up from this nightmare. Her touch to give me strength to live. I just... need... her." Yusei said before he fell asleep from being so weak, what he did not know was if he stayed awake a few minutes longer he would have seen his true love.

The lift door opened to reveal Akiza, she ran over to the apartment number. She used the key card to open the door, as she opened it the door she was surprised to see such a nice place. "So this is the place Yusei is looking after for the twin's Martha told me about. Strange it's dose look the same as in the dream, how could I see a place I never saw before in a dream?" she questioned as she closed the door and entered the tops apartment. At first Akiza could not see anyone in the apartment until she walked towards the staircase, 'maybe he is upstairs still' she thought before finding Yusei on the floor facedown, this made Akiza fear the worsted. "Yusei!" she shouted and ran to him, she got down to her knee's and turned him over to face her, placing his head on her lap. "Yusei wake up what's wrong?" she said quietly. Akiza kept looking at Yusei's sleeping face as her heartbeat raced; she started to stroke Yusei's forehead and hair although she did not notice. 'He looks so cute when he sleeps, I could watch him all day. Wait I can't he is I'll and I must help him get better! But I want to just stay like this.' Akiza thought to herself fighting between her personal feelings and her professionalism as a nurse. In the end there was nothing she could do since she left the medical bag by the door and she would have needed Yusei to be awake to do any tests. After a while Yusei started to talk but he was still asleep. 'Yusei sleep talks? I wonder what he is dreaming about?' she thought as she lessoned to his words.

Dream world

A/N the bold statements are what Akiza in the real world says to Yusei. So there is two sets of responces from Akiza.

In Yusei's dream he could see himself lying in bed with someone holding on to his chest, it was his dream girl Akiza. "Akiza we need to talk" Yusei said. "What is it my love? Yusei what's wrong?" Akiza responded. Yusei looked Akiza in the eyes, while taking her hand. "Akiza since the day I met you at the party, I feel like, when I am with you my heart I going to burst, yet when we are apart I yurn to have you with me." Akiza in the real world was surprised to hear that "Yusei have felt the same ever since I saw you. I want you with me all the time; I even hunger for you touch. Yusei you want me with you when where apart, Why?" she responded. "The truth is since that day I can't get you out of my head. Your eyes and your smile, I feel like I am addicted to them like a drug. Without them I feel like nothing but with them I feel complete." He said truthfully to her. "Yusei you can see them anytime you want, just ask and you can have it my drug. Yusei you like smile and my eyes? You feel like your addicted to them, why didn't you tell me this before?" she said. "I love you Akiza Izinski, please don't leave me again." He said shocking the real Akiza and making her blush. "I love you more Yusei Fodo. You love me, I I I love you too Yusei, more than you know." Akiza answer before the dream pair kissed on the lips.

Real world

Akiza watched as Yusei started acting funny with his facial exception. 'Is Yusei trying to kiss someone? Should I kiss him and fulfil his dream.' She thought while she move her head to his, her heart already made the choose for her. She leaned down and planted her lips on his, forgetting that he was ill. The moment they kissed Yusei responded and his eyes opened, he deepened the kiss thinking he was still dreaming but he still could not even move his body. Akiza even responded back but after a while her mind caught up to her and she backed away with a big blush on her face. "Akiza what's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" Yusei asked not realising what happened was real. "Yusei I, we can't right now." She replyed confusing Yusei even more. "Akiza you just said you loved me so what's wrong with us kissing." He asked. "Yusei you're sick, it's not a good idea to kiss on the lips when someone is ill. It can pass on the illness to others." She replied.

Yusei was still confused until he looked around to find himself in the twin's apartment not in bed with Akiza. "Hold on Akiza, when did you get here and how did you get in?" Yusei said in surprise but still tired. "Yusei Martha sent for me to come here with the key card you gave her. Martha had too much to do today so she could not come herself. To answer your question I've only been here for the last 10 minutes." Akiza replyed while trying to calm herself down from the kiss. "I'm sorry Akiza I wish you didn't have to see me like this, I wanted to see you today but I guess I just ended up worrying you instead." Yusei said sadly knowing Akiza's day was ruined. "Yusei all I was doing today was looking for jobs anyway, your health is more important right now. Now let's try and get you back to bed right now." Akiza said in the same way as a nurse. "Akiza you shouldn't have to look after me, I'll be ok." He replied as he tried to get up on his own but with no success, Akiza shock her head and Yusei noticed. "No Yusei I am a trained nurse you know, I can't leave a sick person the way you are right now. So today I am your personal nurse and I am going to take you, and that's not negotiable." Akiza told Yusei not realising what she said. Yusei blushed after hearing that last part as he misunderstood her. "Akiza I know you mean well but I don't think doing that is a good idea, what if you… or we ... well you know." Yusei said. Akiza look confused until it snapped, she meant looking after him but it sounded like doing the deed with him. "Oh I'm sorry Yusei I meant I'll look after you not doing…., oh no why did I say that." Akiza responded upset with herself for saying the wrong thing. Yusei somehow manage to lift his hand up to hold Akiza cheek before saying "Akiza it's ok, it my foult for misunderstanding what you meant. But if you did meant it that way I couldn't think of anyone better to do it with." Yusei replied from the heart

Akiza could not believe what Yusei said but at the same time her heart skipped a beat from happiness. 'You would do it with me! Oh my gosh does that mean he meant what he said earlier?' she thought. Yusei tried to get up again but stopped when he spotted Akiza spacing out, without even thinking he managed to give Akiza a quick kiss on the lips which surprised her. "Yusei what are you doing?" she asked in shock. "Just waking you up since you were spacing out just then. Besides I could use some help after all." Yusei pointed out. Akiza just nodded and helped Yusei on to his feet and slowly they walked up the stairs, everything was going well until they got to the top and Yusei slipped at the very top. Akiza tried to stop him but ended up falling as well, and landed on top of Yusei. "Oh God Dam it! I'm sorry Akiza I must me making things harder right now?" Yusei asked as he looked up at Akiza. "It can't be helped yu-sei." Akiza said as her eye locked together with Yusei's stopping her. With both their chests against each other they could feel each other's heartbeats, what surprised them was their heartbeats were in sync. Akiza knew she should not stay like that since Yusei was ill, but her body would not listen to her, it just relaxed and allowed her body to almost melt with his. After a while Akiza just gave up and placed her head onto his chest and allowed herself to rest for a moment. Strangely Yusei felt something inside him burst, Happiness! He liked the feeling of Akiza on top of him but he could not forget the dream he had before. 'This feeling it's the same as that from my dream! I never did this before but I like it. Please don't let this feeling end.' Yusei thought as he let that feeling fill him completely.

They laid together for at least a hour not saying a single word just letting the feelings inside them fill them, until Yusei stomach rumbled snapping them out of the moment. "Yusei did you have to do that?" Akiza teased knowing it wasn't his fault. "Sorry Akiza, I was going for breakfast when I fell in the first place. I guess I forgot that I was still hungry until now." Yusei sadly since he ruined that special moment for them. "That makes sense, Come on let's get you in bed then I will go and get something to eat for us both ok." Akiza said now she was back in control of the thoughts. Yusei nodded, Akiza got on to her knees and helped Yusei roll over in order to get up, they both then moved slowly to Yusei's room in the apartment. Once Akiza got Yusei in to bed she ran back down to collect her medical kit and took it to Yusei's room but left it out side. 'Ok now to get us something to eat!' she thought went to the kitchen downstairs.

While Akiza looked through the cupboards she could not believe the amount of variety to choose from. She decided in the end to keep it simple and made some chicken soup for Yusei and some tomato soup for herself. She then lightly buttered some bread rolls for them to share. "Ok that should do for lunch. I just hope he likes it." She said to herself. When the soup was ready she poured Yusei's into a bowl then poured her's in to a mug, this way she could drink her's while feeding Yusei his. After placing everything on a tray she walked back upstairs but stopped before reaching Yusei's room, she had an idea to make it more enjoyable. "I forgot I have my nurse coat in my med bag. It may not fit right but if it change my top for that I would fit the role better for today." She said quietly. She placed the tray on a table and grabed her bag and ran to the bathroom to get changed. 'This should only take 2 minutes and Yusei will be eating out of my hands' she thought with a giggle. She took off her jacket and under top revealing her custom sized bra, she opened her bag and pulled out her unmodified Nurse coat and put it on. She fastened it up as much as she could, it still showed off some of her bra and quite a bit of cleavage but Akiza didn't mind since it was a last minute plan change.

Yusei started to worry where Akiza got to since it had been over 15 minutes since she went to get them something to eat. "I wonder what's taking Akiza so long? I hope she not making anything too difficult." He questioned himself before hearing something outside the room. The door opened and Akiza walked in with the tray. "I was wondering where you were Akiza. I hope did not make anything difficult." he said to Akiza before notising she had changed outfits and was getting a bit of an eyeful seeing Akiza cleavage on show, he tried not to look but it wasn't easy. On the bright side Yusei wasn't blushing so Akiza didn't notise. "No Yusei, just made us some soup. The only hard thing was buttering this fresh bread." She replied as she placed the tray on the bedside table. Yusei suddenly blushed as she sat on the bed and turned around to face him, he spotted the nurse coat more closely and it looked good on her and it even made her eyes stand out better. But what really made his blush even redder was the coat made her chest look larger than before, and he could see more of the skin thought her coat as well. 'Oh wow I must be dreaming now I never knew nurses were so hot before.' He thought to himself. "Come on Yusei let get you sat up so you can have some soup." Akiza said with a slight hint of sedition in her voice. Yusei picked up that tone and his little friend responded although Yusei could not do anything about it right not. Yusei nodded and Akiza helped him up while he thought to himself 'Did she just try to sound sexy to me while dressed like that just now, whatever that was it just excited my friend down there and I can't calm down with her looking like that.' He thought still blushing. Akiza could not help but giggle at Yusei as she fed him the soup; on a few occasions he did slop down himself but that only made Akiza giggle even more, Yusei liked seeing that smile on Akiza's face and even though it didn't cure him it certainly made him feel alot better.

After a while they both finished their soup Akiza helped Yusei get more comfortable so he could rest but still sit up as well, they began to talk about different things, school and duelling, friends they made and problems they faced over the last 14 years. "So basically Akiza, you parents would not let you go out to party's at all unless they came with you?" Yusei asked making sure he understood currectly. "That's right they thought that with my chest size, boys would try to take advantage of me and well you know." Akiza replied, she wasn't happy about it because she lost out on lots of different social event because it was ment to be parent free. "I hope they will not think I am taking advantage of you right now." Yusei said worryingly after hearing that. "It's ok Yusei, I am only looking after you so they will be ok with that. Besides I would take advantage of you, on purpose at least…" She started before bending over to whisper in his ear "even if they did I would deny it to stay with you." Yusei could not believe that and mentally jumped, but ended up slipping back into his bed. "Oh dam it!" Yusei said to Akiza's surprise she began to giggle for a few minutes. When she finally stopped Akiza noticed Yusei was sweating a lot, she realised he could use a change of clothes. "Yusei you're sweating a lot. I think you need a new t-shirt right now." She said. "It's ok Akiza. You don't have to" he replied but Akiza did not hear him. Akiza walked over to the draws in the room but then realised this was the first time looking through Yusei's stuff and didn't know where to start. "Where is you t-shirt draw Yusei?" Akiza asked back in a tone similar to Martha which surprised Yusei, he knew he better answer incase Akiza was going to report back to Martha. "Second draw down by the window." She said in a defeated voice. 'Wait did yusei just give up and answer that time?' she thought and then a though came to mind. 'Hold on I think I spoke the way Martha did at her place maybe that was it.' She thought as she got a t-shirt for Yusei but then she undid a button from her coat without her realising she did. Akiza picked out a plain black t-shirt before walking back over to Yusei. Akiza helped Yusei out of the one he was wearing and saw Yusei's average build chest and stomach. All of a sudden Akiza's right hand placed itself on his chest which confused Yusei, 'Why has she put her hand on my chest.' He thought before noticing the undone button on her coat but then his attention was redirected. Akiza started tracing her fingers down his chest which made Yusei shiver and giggle. "Akiza ... stop that and ... my shirt please ..hahahahah stop it hahahaha." Yusei managed to say as he started to laugh. "Yusei are you ticklish?" Akiza said with a grin on her face while she kept going. "haha yes I hahah can't stand hahaha that." He managed to reply. Akiza took that as her chance to have some fun with Yusei and continued to do so not realising he was starting to feel cold.

After at least 10 minutes more of Akiza's treatment she finally stopped to let Yusei recover but she spotted that he started to shiver, at first though she just thought he was messing around. "Yusei you can stop playing now, you need to rest." She said but Yusei did not answer and continued to shiver wildly. Akiza started to worry that she over did it on her fun, she placed her hand on his forehead and gasped at what she found, he was cold. "Yusei why didn't you say you were cold?" she said before realising it was her fault, "dam I was tickling him so much he couldn't say a word, it's my fault." Straight away she grabbed anything she could think of to warm him up including a hot water bottle but it was having no effect on him. "Yusei please warm up if you don't you will have bigger problems than a simple cold." She said wishing it would help. 'Hold on he is moving around so much that nothing is getting a chance to work. What could I do to stop him moving and warm him up.' She thought before she started thinking of ideas, some of them not appopeate for the problem. 'Dam where did those dirty thoughts come from. This is not the ... hold on that dream!' she remembered the dream with the make out session with Yusei in bed with him. "That could work, Wait If make out with him right now it would be forced on him." Then she realised the key was not the act but the action they were doing. 'That's it if I get in bed with him I could use my own body heat to warm him up.' She thought thinking this was the only way since nothing was helping.

Shyly she undressed herself to nothing but her underwear and even took of her bra as well. 'I hope this works, even thought as a nurse this is not a normal option but I have to do something.' She thought as she slowly got in to Yusei's bed and snuggled up to the still shivering Yusei. "Please Yusei warm up!" she pleaded as she struggled to hold him down, even a one point wrapping he legs around him to help. Yusei could feel someone holding on to him and wanted to know, in his mind he hoped it was Akiza but worried she was doing something bad to warm him up. It took nearly an hour for Yusei to warm up enough to stop shaking, and by now Akiza was tired from the effort it took to warm him up.

Yusei opened his eyes to see the girl of his dreams holding him close, but what surprised him was that she looked like she nearly naked which made his whole face turn red. 'WHAT! WHY IS AKIZA IN MY BED NAKED!' he screamed in his head. Akiza noticed Yusei looking at her and spoke to him, "Yusei I guess it worked after all, I am glad." She said worn out from her efforts. "Akiza why are you naked in my bed?!" her replyed still in shock. Akiza gave him a confused look before looking down to see what Yusei meant. "Yusei I'm not naked." She replied and moved enough for Yusei to spot a dark red pair of knickers on before continuing "I need to stop you shaking so I could warm you up and this was the only thing I could think of with no one else to help." She finished before falling back on to Yusei clearly tired. Yusei had seen Akiza's chest for that moment and felt like he saw a forbidden fruit it made his eyes pop for a moment. "Akiza what made you think that would work?" Yusei asked wondering what she was thinking at the time. "Truth is before I decided to rerun what I saw a dream I had, you were in it and we had a make out session on the bed. I thought that the position we were in would work to warm you up and it d d did." Akiza just finish before she passed out and fell asleep. "Akiza?" he said as he saw Akiza fall asleep with her head on his chest. 'She must have worked hard just to warm me up, even using herself to do that. Wait the dream she mentioned sounds like the one I had, could we have had the same one.' He wondered. He could feel some of his strength return and managed to wrapped his arms around her. "I owe you one Akiza and I think I know what to do. Ill have to use some of that help from the twins help." He whispered to himself as he snuggled up to Akiza and let himself fall asleep.
