Sempai, I'm Sick : Chapter Two
!- Hisashi Mitsui's POV -!
!- The Next Day -!
Tick, tock.. goes the annoying hands of the wall clock piercing through the depths of this four-walled hell-like physics classroom. I have this funny feeling that my schedule is bound to kill me. Imagine, double math yesterday and NOW, double physics. Great.
But today is different. It's the 14th day of November. Later, I'll meet up with Kaede at the park. And along with that, I'll give him my 'perfect gift'. Hehe.
Five..
Four..
Three..
Two..
One..
".. and that's it for today, class. You may all go now!"
Hurray. The excessive field of boredom physics class just gave me nearly killed me. Whew. I rushed to Kaede's classroom because this time, I want to be the one waiting for him. I want to be extra sweet to him.
When I got there, I asked the dude who was just about to leave the room, "Where's Rukawa?"
"I don't know, sir. I haven't seen him."
"Oh okay. Thanks anyway."
I rushed to the gym thinking that maybe he's already there. Upon my arrival, I looked around looking for signs of that block of ice, hoping to finally find him there. Whether shooting some hoops or dozing off again, I don't care. I just want to see him, demmit! And suddenly, my answer came about. I felt a soft vibration from my handy phone inside my pocket.
"Hello?"
"Sempai.."
"Kaede! Where are you? What the hell happened to you? Why weren't you in class? Answer me, will you!"
"Will you let me?"
Fine, I got carried away. I'm concerned, for goodness' sake! But then again, if I wanted to know what happened to him, I have to shut up, let him talk and listen.
"Can I talk now?"
"Yeah.. Go on.."
"I'm at home."
"Eh? Why?"
"Sempai, I'm sick."
"You're sick!? But--.."
"I know. Sorry."
I don't know if I should feel glad or depressed at the moment. Glad, because he remembered that we were supposed to meet at the park and he's apologetic because he couldn't make it and to think that he's the one who's sick. (Breathe..) Depressed, because I couldn't carry on with my plan-- you know, my 'perfect gift' in a romantic park thing. But what I'm so depressed about.. is because my ice prince is sick. Poor kitsune.
"Sempai? Still there?"
"Yeah.. Sorry.. My mind flew off again."
"You mad?"
"Hell, no. I'm not mad at you."
"Sempai.."
"Yeah?"
"Come over. Please."
With that, I smiled. "Be there in five minutes."
"I'll count on it."
"Bye.."
"Hn."
.. and we hung up. Five minutes? That's right. I'm going to ditch today's practice. I know this is so unlike me, but I'm sticking to my cheesy lover-ish policy that my ice prince should always come first in anything or(and) everything. Bastardic, but true.
"Akagi, I couldn't attend today's practice!" I shouted across the gym, preparing to leave.
"Mitsui, what the--!?"
"I'll explain tomorrow! Ja!" and I ran off as I heard Akagi's shout that echoed all over the place, "Come back here or there will be no tomorrow! MY GYM!!!"
.. and I laughed my head off. Sorry, dirty shoes. Haha. But anyway, I shoved that thought aside. I ran as fast as I could and I arrived at Kaede's house in exactly five minutes. Haha. I rang the doorbell once, twice, thrice. Cut the crap, Kaede and answer the goddamned door. As if he heard me from afar, he opened it 'greeting' me with his famous dull nod. And I can't help but notice..
"Fuck, Kaede. You're paler than usual.."
"I'm sick."
"I know that, baka. My point is.. Oh, just march back to your bed, will you!"
I shut the door , grabbed his hand and walked him to his room upstairs. I watched him as he wearily climbed up his bed and ever-so-weakly covered the blanket up to his chest as he rested his head on his pillow.
Oookkaaaayy.. I guess we're going to play a little doctor game. I really don't know how to handle situations such as this one. It's a good thing I listened to at least one lesson our professor discussed in our gym class-- something about first aid. Oh crap. As long as it has something to do with medication! First aid, sick Kaede-- what's the damn difference? Sheesh..
So, on with my 'job' as a doctor. I pulled a chair beside his bed as for me to sit beside him of course. I grabbed the thermometer on his bed-side drawer and.. then what? Oh fuck. I saw my mom do this once. Er, here goes whatever. I poked the thermometer thing into the ice prince's mouth and whew.. I actually did it right. But Kaede adjusted it a bit though. I guess I poked it too hard.
"Sorry about that. You'll never know how ignorant I can get when it comes to these medication shit."
"Hn."
After about three minutes, I gently took the themometer's silver end out of his mouth. I looked closely and read his temperature. Holy hell!
"39.7!?"
"Hn."
"What do you mean 'Hn.'!? That's terrible, Kaede! 39.7!"
"A while ago it was 40.8"
"What!? And you were all alone!?"
"Yes."
"Fuck, Kaede. You should've called me earlier."
.. and he just shurgged. I gave off a sigh and I looked yet again at his bed-side drawer and I saw a little note. I snatched it and read its content-- a list of the things the kitsune is supposed to do. And I'm doubting he's done any of this. I looked at the first item on the list-- 'drink tablets twice every five hours.' and voila, a pack of white tablets were resting just beside the note.
"Kaede.."
"Hn?"
"When was the last time you took some of this stuff?"
"Never."
"Come again?"
"Never. I hate medicines."
"Kaede, for heaven's sake, stop acting like some goddamned pre-schooler who's afraid of drinking medicines! I'm dying here because of my concern for you and you won't even bear with me!"
Silence.
Suddenly.. Surprisingly.. He snatched the pack of tablets from my hand, took out two of it, placed it in his mouth and swallowed it as he drank the glass of water. I smiled. I'm glad he's finally snapping out of his stupidity.
"That's great, Kaede. I guess all you needed--.."
OhmyfuckinggoddessofVenus.
He puked.
On my shirt. Was I too harsh on him or is he just that weak that he couldn't even stomach the bitter taste of the medicine he needed to take. I stood up, knocking the chair over wiping his stuff-that's-used-to-be-in-his-stomach on my shirt.
"Oh god, Kaede.."
"Sorry, sempai."
I looked at disgust on my shirt as I wiped it all off. I looked at him-- wearing an im-so-sorry expression, eyes filled with apologies and pleas. Even the meanest person in the whole universe would pity him. And of course, I, being the hottest angel in this universe, couldn't help but approach the poor kitsune and comfort him despite his puking scenario.
"It's okay." and realizing that I can't stay covered with human waste all day, I took off my shirt exposing my upper half's nudity to my lover. Yes, I can feel him drooling all over because of that fact that I AM sizzling hot. Bwahaha.. Oh fuck. Stay focused, Hisashi.
"No puking from now on, okay?"
"Hn."
I sat on his bed, just beside him, and wiped his mouth with a clean damp towel, followed by a dry one. "There. Nice and clean again."
"Sempai.."
"Yeah?"
"I'm not a child."
"Oh, you're not. You're a SICK child."
"Do'ahou." I heard him whisper, but I totally ignored that.
"Are you hungry or something?"
"No."
"Want to watch tv?"
"No."
"Want to eat?"
"No."
"I already asked that, didn't I?"
"Yes."
"What do you want to do then?"
"Sleep."
"Ahaha.. Okay. I knew that."
"With you."
"What?"
Wow, did I hear that right?
"Sleep. With you."
I replied with a wide grin on my face. Oh joy. Sleep beside him in bed, for the first time in three months which seemed like a whole century. But still, he's sick so we can't really do it. At least I get to be beside him and cuddle him up. Hehe. I told you-- I want to be extra sweet to this bastardic ice block. Who cares his sickness is fuckin' contagious? I don't. Haha.
