Hi guys, I don't own Toriko just my Oc.

Chapter 62

'Okay, today is the day that I'll tell Aiko how I feel!' Toriko thought feeling determined walking along the path to visit Aiko.

'I just have to say it, before anything interrupts us.'He thought 'I can't be afraid to tell her!'

But before he could even think of how he'll tell Aiko he noticed, her animal partner Aina was running towards him, he had a puzzled look on his face looking at the Nature deer. Before he could even say anything the deer tug on his clothes hard, he wondered what it was so he followed her to Aiko's house he noticed that the door that it was slightly opened. He opened it and he panicked a bit. He saw Aiko on the floor her face sweating and red.

"Aiko!" Toriko panicked he ran inside holding Aiko upwards.

Her eyes slowly opened. "Toriko-kun..." She mumbled and she closed her eyes again.

He pressed his hand on her forehead. 'She's burning up!...' He thought he carefully carried Aiko bridal style. But he didn't know where her room was. He only knew where her kitchen and living room were because those were the only places in the house he set foot in. He noticed Aina going in a room so he followed the deer to what he thought was Aiko's room.

He didn't think that this was her room, it was the type of room a girl like her would have, the walls were light purple color and the widows had light green drapes that contrast but matched the decor which was a simple vanity and other things. He carefully placed her on her bed covering her with a light blanket.

"Aiko..."Toriko said softly.' I think it's just a simple fever, she's burning up so I'll need to bring a few things so that will help bring it down.' He thought 'I think she might have a few things around the house.'

A few minutes later Toriko came back with a bowl of cold water and small towels, he dipped the towels in the water and folded them he twists them taking out the excess water carefully placing it on Aiko's forehead. He didn't hear anything else from her just her breathing pattern.

He didn't know what else to do, he knows he can't leave her alone so the only other option was for him to stay until Aiko got better.

"Toriko-kun..." Aiko mumbled her eyes slowly opened.

"Aiko, just stay in bed."Toriko said

"But you're my guest..."Aiko said softly trying to get up but Toriko stopped her.

"You gotta rest."He sternly said to her.

"It's just a small fever, I'll be fine in a few days."Aiko whispered trying to get out of bed but Toriko stopped her again.

"Just listen to me if you try to go out you could get worse."Toriko said "Please stay in bed Aiko."

In the end Aiko pleased Toriko by stayed in bed, after a few minutes she fell asleep. Toriko didn't think that Aiko would be a bit stubborn but he kinda like it, he always saw her sweet and protective side but not the stubborn side.

An idea popped in his head and he quickly went to Aiko's kitchen and hope that he wouldn't make too much noise.

A few hours later a smell woke Aiko up, her eyes fluttered open and saw the bluenette taking the small towel from her forehead and replacing it with a fresh one.

"You're awake."Toriko said Aiko nod and saw a tray with a bowl and a few other things.

"Are you hungry?" Toriko asked "Cause I made something for you...I uh I hope you don't mind but I used your kitchen, don't worry I cleaned up everything I used."

'He made something for me?'Aiko thought her eyes wandered at the bowl in Toriko's hands.

"I thought since you've got a fever I thought that some soup would help."Toriko said

"Thanks...Toriko-kun..."Aiko said adjusting so that she sat upright.

Toriko placed the bowl in front of Aiko, she took a spoonful of it and ate it. Toriko was slightly nervous since he always cooks for himself and it was the first time he made something like that for Aiko or for anyone for that matter.

"It's really good Toriko-kun, I like it." Aiko said taking another spoonful. "Nothing like the classic chicken soup it really hits the spot."

Toriko was smiling on the inside, he saw Aiko almost finish the bowl of soup after that she fell asleep. He smiled softly at her sleeping silhouette and gave her a kiss on her forehead and stayed with her for what seems like hours.

The next day...

Aiko felt the Suns rays hit the window and lit up the room, she slowly opened her eyes and took off the towel she had on her forehead.

'My fever is gone...it must've been a twenty four hour type of fever...' Aiko thought she felt something heavy on her side of the bed, she glanced to see Toriko fast asleep on her side.

'Did he stay the entire night with me?'Aiko thought looking at Toriko's peaceful sleeping face, she carefully moved her hand to brush a few loose strands of his blue hair off his face.

"Aiko..."Toriko mumbled in his sleep.

'Huh?' Aiko thought

"Aiko...I...I..."Toriko mumbled "I gotta tell you something... Something important..."

"What? Toriko-kun is talking in his sleep?"Aiko whispered softly clearly interested of what the bluenette is mumbling about in his sleep.

"I'm hungry..."He mumbled in his sleep.

Aiko giggled lightly. 'It's always about food...kinda cute you blue haired glutton.' Aiko thought 'Hmmm I wondered why you came to my house yesterday?'

Hey guys! I'm planning that Aiko will have a combo partner of her own! If you have any suggestions on it feel free to leave a review or pm me! Have an awesome day guys!
