"Hey Kyou, you feeling any better?" Haru made his way into Kyou's room carrying a large tray with a bowl of soup, a glass of water, and some pills.

The Ox's eyes settled on the bed against the opposite wall. He no longer saw his lover's sleeping form under the covers, as he did just minutes before.

Haru walked over to the bed and placed the tray on the bedside table. He then sat down on the corner of the bed and noticed for the first time the little orange neko swimming in Kyou's clothes.

The Ox-cursed gently picked up the half-sleeping Kyou and cradled him in his arms. The Cat awoke when Haru started to pet him.

"What the hell are you doing?" Kyou mumbled.

"I'm taking care of you."

"I can take care of myself."

"Not in this state. Now shut up and go back to sleep, Kitten."

"I told you, no pet names!"

"Oh, you know you like it."

Haru scratched behind Kyou's ears and the Cat-cursed began involuntarily purring. The sick Kitty soon fell asleep in his lover's arms.
