A.N. wow. I didn't think anyone would LIKE this. thank you to all that reviewed!

Sage was awakened for the second time that night as a very sleepy Rowen reached over and got water.

"That's your third cup.. I'm counting."

"You need a new hobby,"

::'I just worry.':: Sage said mentally, his eyes looking at Rowen, his bed adjacent form his friend's.

His thoughts were plagued with the worry of what was wrong with his friend, and he slept fitfully that night.

The morning sun arose once more over Toyama, and the blue haired teen still slept, while the blonde rose quickly with cat-like ease. He checked on his companion, his cheeks were a bit fevered.

Sage's brow contorted into worry wrinkles as he listened to the raspy breathing. Suddenly he was looking into depths of blue.

"what?" Rowen asked, a bit of sleepiness and annoyance in his voice.

"Nothing.."

"good.." Rowen closed his eyes and soon his breathing became more regular and slow. Sage sighed and walked over to the phone, dialing Cye's number.

#Mouri residence, Cye speaking. Who may I ask is calling?

#It's Sage.

# Oh. is Rowen any better? .wait of course not! I told you to call if he wasn't, how stupid of me, gomen ne Sage.

#It's alright. but.. he's denying he's sick..

"I am not!"

"when did you get up?"

"since I did!"

"Hey! Gimme that back!"

"Gimme gimme never gets!"

"Argh! Give me the bloody phone!" sounds of thumping and a brawl goin on until..

#Cye! Ya gotta help me! Sage swears he's gona take me ta the doctors! I don't wana! Ya gotta he-OOF!

#sorry about that Cye, I'm back, and don't listen to him, he IS sick!

#alright.. alright. Can you describe his symptoms?

"I'M NOT SICK!"

"Quiet!"

#he's had 1 gallon of water before bed, and 20 glasses during his sleep period.

"D-DID NOT!" Sage glared at Rowen.

#He's got a fever and he knows it!

#alright, I'd say get him to the doctor..

#that's the hard part.

#good luck then.

#right, thank you

Sage turned to Rowen who was sitting on the bed and pouting.

"None of that, you're going to the doctor whether you like it or not!" Rowen's eyes widened and his face paled.

"NO! No No NO! I hate needles! Doctors and needles bad for Rowen! BAD FOR ROWEN!!!"

"No, doctors are good for you!"

"Bad!"

"Good!"

"Bad!"

"Good!"

"Bad!!!!!"

"GOOD!!!"

"BAD!!!!"

"I SIAD GOOD AND THAT'S FINAL! YA HEAR!?" Rowen shut up at that moment. There was silence for a few minutes.

"But I don't wana.."

"Well I don't care! Now get your butt back into bed or else!" Rowen eeped but complied, already feeling his fever.

"No fair."

"alls affair in love and war, same goes for sickness and health, death and living,"

"I hate you,"

"I love you too, get sleep while I make your appointment." As Sage turned Rowen stuck his tongue out, and while Sage knew this, he didn't turn and bust him. He still had a very important appointment to make.
