Day 1
"Achoo!" A soft sneeze ran through the room.
"Cover your mouth when you sneeze, Gardner!" A male voice grunted out in disgust.
A sniffle. "Why would you care you big jerk."
"Because I don't want to get more sick then I already am!" The mans voice was muffled through the covers that were layered over his head.
"Oh! Get over yourself Kaiba!" Tea sunk down into the covers of the King sized they both shared. The young girl had fainted after talking to Mokuba. She wasn't heavy, but he was so small that when he tried to catch her…well…she kind of squashed him. Not on purpose though! She was sick. And apparently she'd given it to the irritated boy next her.
"Over myself? At least I wasn't the one trying to squish Mokuba!" He napped lightly. He really didn't feel up to this. That, and having Mokuba forcing them to stay in the same room. Said that was the maids would have to sterilize TWO room instead of one. And He had simple flipped when Kaiba had told him to just let Tea go home. She was a big girl, she could take care of herself.
"I already told you, it wasn't my fault! My fever got the best of me." She huffed, starting to feel rather ill-tempered herself.
"Yea, then it went to me. Nice one, Garner." He rolled his eyes. How long was this going to go on? Until one of them got better, of course.
"Tea! My name is Tea! Can't you get that through your head? Or is there too much gel in it?" She snapped back. Being sick always made her fussy. And being with a egotistical jerk like Kaiba, she wasn't doing much better with keeping her mouth shut.
He gave a weak growl in response and took the covers off his head, tossing a small pillow that lightly hit her in the face. "I do NOT gel my hair. It's naturally this good. As I'm sure you've taken notice."
A small smirk came into play when she blushed. Weather it was from anger, embarrassment, or if she was blushing…well it really didn't matter. It was the look that counted. And right now, it was priceless.
He closed his eyes and pulled the covers over his face once again. He gave a small snort when she poked his side, trying to get him to edge over and give her some room.
"Oh? What was that I heard Mr. Kaiba?" She asked innocently. An evil plan forming in the depths of her head.
"It was nothing, now leave me alone. I'm trying to sleep." He mumbled, burying his head underneath his pillow.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you, do speak up dear." She poked him again, finding amusement when he chuckled softly as his body twisted to get away form her hand. He rested back into his proper position when he was sure she had pulled he hand away. The little devil in her head cheered her on, along with the angel. It looked like this was going to be fun.
Her hands swept over his sides, her ears feeling with the pleasant sound of the young CEO bursting out laughing.
"Kn-knock it off!" He laughed, trying to wiggle away from her grasp, but to no avail. The further he moved, the further she drew closer, he hands running up and down his sides. This little secret would be good blackmail use…
Kaiba grunted as they both fell to the floor in an awkward position. They stared at each other in, a blush covering both of their faces from embarrassment.
"Get off me, Gardner."
Day 2
"Get off me!" The two teens simultaneously yelled at each other as the both hit the floor on opposite sides of the bed. Kaiba let out a grunt, trying to untangle the sheets that had wrapped around his legs while Tea was currently rubbing her head in agony, having hit the corner of the dresser.
"I think I'm dieing…" She mumbled, sniffing as tears gathered in her eyes from the pain. She blinked when Kaiba used his hand to wipe away the few tears that fell.
"Just don't die in my house. I might be held responsible. I don't need THOSE kind of rumors following me around everywhere." He flicked her tears aside and smirked.
Over the first day, it hadn't taken her long to realize when he was smirking to show off his authority over others, and when he was smirking to show he was smiling.
She scoffed and pulled herself up, mock-glaring at the boy who was trying to put the covers back on the bed. "It's not my fault you latched onto me during the night."
He growled. She had also learnt that he sounded more like a dog then he claimed Joey did. "I think you have your wires crossed. YOU were the one who latched onto ME." He rolled his eyes as she giggle. What was it with this girl?
"Whatever you say, Seto."
He didn't even bother telling her not to call him that. What was the use? Out of all the people he knew, she was the only one that he didn't intimidate or made able to bend them to his will. It both irked him…and made him interested it the girl. Besides, if he had, she would just have ignored him about it.
"I'm not the one who whined 'mommy' during the night and nearly crushed my lungs." He retorted, climbing back in bed, eating the breakfast one of the maids had brought them. Tea rolled her eyes and reached for the last piece of toast just as he reached his hand for it.
Their hands touched as a shock…no…a jolt ran through their bodies. They lifted their heads and held each others eyes as a light blush appeared over their faces. Tea leaned in slightly, causing Kaiba to close his eyes and await her lips when he noticed the piece of toast was gone.
He glared at her as he watched her happily nibble on the toast. "To sink so lowly to seduction. Tsk tsk, you really are desperate Gardner." He continued to glare at her.
"All is fair in love and breakfast."
Day 3
"I just can't do it!" Tea thrashed around on her side of the bed, messing up the covers that covered them both, causing a growl to come out of his throat.
"Just get to sleep!" He snapped, pulling the covers over his head to keep out both the sound of her whining and the sound of thunder that came from the raging storm outside. Not to mention the lightning! Why did he have to have the window side?
"But I don't like thunder storms!" She whined again, causing her to pitch into a coughing fit. She sat up and coughed, trying to make sure her long didn't come up with it.
Kaiba sighed and sat up, rubbing her back so that it would sooth the coughs away. As soon as they were gone she slumped into the bed, tried. "Maybe I can-" She was cut off by a loud roar of thunder and a brilliant flash of lightning.
She let out a small scream and dived under the covers, trying to hide herself from something that couldn't even get to her in the first place. Kaiba rolled his eyes. "What is wrong with you?"
"I hate thunderstorms! And windstorms too! I hate all storms when it comes down to the point. I'm always alone when it storms and it's always dark. Then I start seeing things in the dark. Look! I think I just saw some eye peeping in from the doorway!" She buried herself in deeper and let out a whimper.
Kaiba looked to the door, almost certain he saw a pair of eyes as well. "You're starting to get to me, Gardner." He growled and laid back down, taking the covers she had stolen and placing the back where they belonged, over him. "Now get to sleep."
"But didn't you see them? And how can I sleep when such a storm is going on? And-" She was silenced once again. And this time it wasn't by the sound of thunder, it was by a pair of soft warm lips that belonged to her companion.
"Now shut up and sleep." He grabbed her waist and pulled her back to him, wrapping his arms around her waist. "I won't let anything get you, Gardner. Mokuba would never let me live it down." He breathed into her neck. Being this close to her was nice…even if it might add a few days to his sickness count.
She mumbled something about confusing CEO's as she snuggled closer to him when as rather loud thundercloud decided to roar.
He muttered softly into her hair, letting sleep take him over.
"You talk to much."
Weaver: Well, that's all folks. Oh, and Pestshipping is Weavil/Tea or Haga/Anzu. Either way, this story is over in my eyes. It's up to you all to imagine what happens next.
