||Fever||

Vanitas wasn't feeling well. In fact his whole body was aching and he had trouble breathing. Staggering coming downstairs, his head was spinning in circles.

"No way…" he mumbled. His vision is getting blurry and double-seeing things. The raven-haired Fair wasn't a sickly child more like he's immune to it.

Sora is sipping a hot chocolate drink their mother, Aerith made while Zack was busy on his morning paper.

"Good Morning, Vani!" Sora greeted. Vanitas nodded but still wasn't in the mood. Acknowledging the brunette's greeting, Vanitas 's face was paler and paler than his skin color and was sweating and panting a lot. He got worried asking his twin if he's really alright.

"I'm fi—" Vanitas slumped on the table making a sound. Zack was startled but was the first one who noticed his older son's condition. Checking the raven Fair's temperature had in fact a fever. "Aerith!" said Zack, "Vanitas has a fever!" informing his wife. Together they grabbed their older child into his room.

"It seems that your brother can't go to school with you." Aerith said cleansing Vanitas's forehead with soaked damp cloth. He wasn't even looking good, hence the breathing part. "Can't I just ditch school for one day and take care of Vani?" Sora demanded looking at his twin brother. Just by looking at Vanitas makes Sora's heart shatter. He can't help it but he knows that the fever is making Vanitas break him apart.

"Stop crying you idiot," Vanitas looked at his brother trying to pronounce every single words he can mutter. "I'm not gonna die. Get your ass ready for school."

"Vanitas langguage. Your twin is right, Sora," their Mother said replacing the warm water into the bowl with cold water. "You better get ready for school. I'll talk to your father about this." Aerith retreated back leaving the two alone.

"Vani…" whispered Sora as his twin was quietly sleeping on his bed.

After Zack dropped off Sora in the school gates, the brunette Fair didn't went inside even though he knew he'll be in trouble with his parents. Vani's in pain right now. That's what matters to me and I need to help him, Sora thought of it thoroughly before doing any unnecessary action. Sora, instead of going to school, went towards a University where his cousin, Terra is studying trying his luck if he can help him with Vanitas's problems. He tried to sneak up the guards so he can get inside but he couldn't. Guards caught the brunette which is more trouble than cutting-off classes.

"Let me go you freaks! I just want to talk to Terra." Sora was struggling to get free from the guards when he heard his cousin's voice. "It's okay. Release him right now," another brunette had said but with a much darker one with spikes different from his.

"Terra what do I do?! Vani is in so much pain! I have to help but I don't know how," the younger brunette cried onto his cousin's shirt. Terra didn't know what to do since he was an only child but he do adore kids like Sora and Vanitas no matter how much the older Fair brother despise him so much. He eased Sora's pain, cooing him that it will be alright but honestly, he wasn't sure.

"Look. I can't really help you right now but if you happen to stumble upon Aqua instead, I'm sure she will agree to help you out in your little problem.

"I'm really sorry, Sora but I have to get back to work. I pray for your brother's safety. Say my 'greetings' to my girlfriend for me." And with that, the older brunette left Sora alone in the school grounds finding a girlfriend of Terra that he had never met before.

The brunette Fair heard a woman's voice calling out Terra's name. That must be the girlfriend, he mumbled heading towards the direction of the bluenette woman.

"Are you Aqua? Terra's girlfriend?" asked Sora. The bluenette woman, Aqua nodded but was a little nervous on seeing a new face plus he knows her relationship with the older brunette. "I'm sorry little one but I don't know who you are. Perhaps you're an acquaintance of his?" Sora told her relationship towards Terra and his business as to why Sora is in the University. After a few seconds, Aqua chuckled,

"So he's working again huh?" the brunette saw the pained expression on the bluenette's face. He asked if they both have problems about their relationship.

"No! That's not it, Sora. Besides…" she says but her face was blushing and flustered. Aqua composed herself, making sure that she wasn't having a not okay expression.

"I think I know a way to help you with your problem. Come Sora. Let's go to the Home Economic's room."

"Sora Sky Fair! Where in the worlds did you go to?!" Aerith was so upset. She was been informed that Sora didn't go to any of his classes. He explained his part about going to Terra's school but instead her girlfriend helped and taught him on how to make porridge. He is even carrying a container with the cooked food in it.

"I'm really sorry Mom but I just want Vanitas to get better. Can I just give him these?"

"Go. But I'm not with you, young man!" Aerith added.

Sora climbed the stairs and into Vanitas's room where he was still sleeping peacefully. "Vanitas? Are you awake?" the brunette asked not sure if his twin could hear him. "I'm awake. Pipe your voice down." Vanitas slowly opened his eyes to see his brunette brother carrying a container. He could smell something good was in it. Sora showed him the porridge, saying that he made it so the raven-haired twin could get better.

He wasn't really happy about the food. He was more afraid that it would taste bad as he imagined it would be. From his past experiences, Sora has never done something good when it comes to cooking.

"I'd rather eat Mom's cooking. Who knows what you've put in that thing. You might have put poison and kill me." Sora pouted, "That was mean, Vanitas! I made this with my pure heart!" putting the contained on his desk, he stormed out of the room leaving Vanitas alone.

The next day….

"Good Morning Vani!" said Sora. He could see the container where the porridge is was empty. He was glad that his brother had eaten the food and is now better.

"You've finished the whole porridge! I knew you'd eat the food I've cooked for you." The brunette was giddying on his brother's bed. Vanitas shoved him off. "Shut up. It was the only food available,"

Vanitas isn't just used in being grateful to people.
