17: Sickness

SprxNova

What He Asked For

By Netbug009

"I hate days like this."

Sprx was curled up in his charger pod with a box of tissues. He was shivering, and yet he felt like his face was on fire. Plus, the "fire" was making him dizzy.

"Darn it! Why can't I get sick on a day where something I happening that I don't want to do instead of a day where I would be goofing off or beating up some creep?!"

"Aw, quit whining Sprx!" Nova said as the door to his room slid open and she came in, carrying another box of tissues. "This whole thing is your fault anyways."

"My fault?!"

"Yes!"

"How is it my fault?!"

"Because you wouldn't stay away when I was sick."

"Then this is worth it."

"What?!"

Sprx smiled. "I told you that I wasn't worried about catching what you had when I was giving you that hug. Well, I meant it. I just like to complain I guess."

Nova smiled and walked over next to his pod, handing his the tissues through the open door of the devise.

"Thanks." he said, pulling a tissue out of the new box and blowing his nose on it.

"How are you feeling?" Nova asked.

"Horrible." Sprx answered. "But a little better since I have some company now."

Nova blushed lightly and sat against the pod. "Hey Sprx?"

"Yeah?"

Nova turned a deeper red. "Um... thanks for staying with me when I was in your shoes." she said.

"No problem." He said. He smirked. "Although, since you already got sick, and can't get the same virus again and all, I don't think a little reward would hurt." He made kissing noises. The one advantage of being sick was that Nova had enough heart to not kill him for being a flirt. He still braced for an insult though.

I never came, to Sprx surprise. Nova listed him out of the pod and actually gave him what he had asked for. His eyes widened as her lips touched his. After a moment, he closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her gently before they both pulled away.

Silence, then two smiles.

"Um..." Sprx turned red...er. redder. "...thanks."

"Sure." Nova replied.

Another silence.

"Y-you should get some rest." Nova said.

"Right."

"Sleep tight Sprx." she said as she left the room, closing the door behind him.

He slept just fine after that.
