It was rare but Yusaku returned late today. It seemed Naoki was bugging him about something and didn't let him leave untill he agreed to help. Because of that, Ryoken prepared dinner while the teen went to take a shower. It was just suppose to be a quick one. Yet, that didn't happen.

As he was finishing up the last dish, PM ran in and started meowing. He thought the litte one was hungry but the way it was acting indicated something else. After taking a glance at the clock, he turned off the stove and rushed to the bathroom with Puffy Master leading the way.

Once there, he was basically banged his fist on the door, calling out for Yusaku but there was no answer. With no choice left, he broke it down. Laying on the cold floor with the water continued to rain down on him, the teen's eyes stayed close.

"YUSAKU!"

...

Slowly opened his eyes, Yusaku found himself laying on the hospital bed, having a water infusing.

"You're awake." A familiar voice echoed in the air.

"Ryo...ken... What..."

"You passed out in the bathroom because of a high fever. The doctor said if you were brought here a second later, you would have lost your life."

"I...see..."

"Sorry... It's my fault... I didn't even realize you were sick."

"Don't blame yourself. None of us has the power to control sickness. It just comes when ever it wants. My case was no different."

They talked for a bit more then Ryoken helped him up, feeding him some hot chicken soup. After being out cold for two days, he was extremely hungry. Once done, they have a video chat with Spectre. Since no pet was allow in the hospital, the young man had no choice but left his cat in the teen's care. Upon seeing Yusaku, PM wagged his tail happily.

As night fell, Ryoken sat down on the chair next to the bed, reading the book he brought along while Yusaku slept soundly. It was peaceful but not for long as the teen started to have nightmare. Trying his best, the young man successfully woke him up. Yet, he didn't want to go back to sleep even through his body needs it to recover. He was afraid.

"How about I sleep with you then?" Ryoken suggested.

Yusaku didn't waste a single second as he scooted over the side, patting the bed next to him as his eyes sparkled. At that moment, Ryoken chuckled.

"I see the fever hasn't affect your interest."

The bed was made for one, so it was crampy for the both of them. Their bodies were basically glued together which was good to Yusaku as he slept straight till morning. As for Ryoken, he had to wake up every few hours to check on the infusion bottle and called the nurse to change into a new one when it was nearly out. On the morning of the ten day, Yusaku was discharged. He was completely healthy again. However, it was Ryoken's turn to get sick.

Since his fever wasn't as serious as Yusaku's, he just rested at home, drinking medicines. Yusaku took really good care of him just like he did with him. Yet, there was one thing slightly different.

"Get back on the bed, Ryoken. You need to rest!"

"I will when you put those green onions down." He said as sweats ran down his cheeks.

"Why are you so afraid? They're gonna help you get better."

"Shoving onions in my-- It doesn't matter! There's no way I'm going to let you do it!"

"Ah! Stop, Ryoken!"

Meanwhile, down in the kitchen...

"Well, it seems like they are having fun." Said Spectre.

"Meow~"

"What do you think?" He held a spoon of soup in front of PM's mouth. He even blown on it to cool it down just a little bit. After it had a lick, he tried some himself with another spoon.

"Meow!"

"You're right. Needs a bit more salt."

After that, he added the spice and stirred it while Yusaku continued to chase Ryoken all over the house, catching him in the end.
