~Sylveon
*May 20th, 2557
I waited anxiously outside the high school with two tickets in my paw. Two tickets for a fashion show Eevee's been wanting to see for months now.
Eevee had not yet messaged me for the past couple of days and I haven't seen her whenever I would come to pick her up. I was starting to get worried.
At first I assumed she was busy and I distracted myself with homework and modeling. But now it was our planned date night and I still couldn't see her. It wasn't until Ryu and Evelyn came out and she wasn't with them did I really start to worry.
"Hi Evelyn. Ryu."
"Sylveon. Hi. Have you seen Eevee lately? She hasn't been to school in a couple of days and we thought she was with you."
"You haven't seen her either?!"
"No. Don't tell me you haven't seen her too?"
"No. Oh my Arceus is she okay?! I-I'm going to call her!"
I pulled out my cellphone and frantically dialed my girlfriends number. Evelyn and Ryu worriedly waited next to me for her to pick up the call. After three rings, she finally picked up coughing a little before she said hello.
"Hello?"
"Eevee?! Oh thank Arceus, are you okay darling? Where are you?"
"Hi, I'm at home...*cough *cough I caught a cold. I thought I messaged *cough *cough you. I probably passed out before I could send it to you."
"You're sick? Is it alright if I can come over?"
"Yeah. I want to see you."
"Alright. I'll be there in about 15 minutes. Yeah. No it's alright. Love you too. See you soon. Bye."
I hung up and heaved a huge sigh of relief.
"I gotta go guys. Eevee's at home with a cold."
"We understand. Tell her we both hope she gets better."
"Yeah I'll let her know."
I said as I waved them goodbye and ran to my bike, making a quick stop at the grocery store before heading on over to Eevee's house.
*Eevee's apartment
I knocked on the door and I barely heard someone coming down the stairs. Eevee opened the door and my ears lowered when I saw how sick she was.
"H-Hi Sylveon..."
"Hey honey. Are you alright?"
"I...I need to lie down..."
She slipped and I had to drop my bags to catch her.
"I got you Eve."
"Sorry...I made you drop your things..."
"Don't worry about it. I'll get them in a minute. Let me carry you to-"
"Couch. Not the bed..."
"Couch it is then."
I gently set her down on the couch and went back outside to grab the groceries.
"Okay now I brought the ingredients to make you some chicken soup. Do your parents have any medicine?"
"Kitchen."
"Alright. Just lay there and get some rest darling."
I set the bags down on the table and went up to her room to grab her blanket and covered her up with it. Eevee quickly fell asleep and I went into the kitchen to make her some soup.
It took about 20 minutes and I set a bowl down for her on the coffee table and some medicine beside it. I sat down on the armchair and fell asleep.
*Four hours later at midnight
I woke up to find a blanket over me and looked to see Eevee still fast asleep but her bowl was now empty.
"She's okay Sylveon. She ate some of your soup and the medicine stifled down her fever a bit. Her father was almost angry that you were here but since Eevee's sick he just covered you up and left to put Hope to bed."
"I'm glad she's okay. Umm...I'll just go home now I don't want to further impose-"
"No it's alright. I'm glad our daughter has you to care for her. You can sleep here in the living room if you want."
"Thank you ma'am."
"Don't mention it. Goodnight Sylveon."
"Goodnight."
Her mother got up from the kitchen table and headed upstairs. Not before stopping to say one more thing.
"Sylveon?"
"Uh yes?"
"Do you love Eevee?"
I flushed at her question but quickly realized she was being serious.
"Yes I do. Very much."
"I'll let her father know. That way he'll treat her boyfriend better."
I nodded in agreement before she continued upstairs.
I looked at Eevee and was surprised to see her awake with a smile on her face.
"Hey! How long have you been up?"
"Just for a minute."
"Well go back to sleep. I want you to get well soon, meaning you have to get some rest."
"Okay. Can you lay down next to me?"
"We're not going to fit."
"Come on! I laid down next to you when you were sick."
I honestly did want to cuddle with her and my cheeks flushed at the memory of her taking care of me. But I still wanted to be reasonable.
"Well that's because it was in my bed at the dorm and not a couch."
"Then carry me to my room and we can sleep there."
"Fine ma'am. Just don't get me in trouble with your dad."
I laughed as I scooped her up and carried her upstairs to her room. I think this is my first time having a sleepover with Eevee in her bed.
I just barely laid down when she pecked the tip of my nose.
"Hehehe! Alright alright! Now go to sleep Eve. You need your rest. Your forehead still feels hot."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you too."
At least I didn't have any school tomorrow.
