"Sakura-chan!"
He exclaimed holding her as she writhed in pain.
"Medicine"
she croaked fists clenched white as she tried not to yell.
He placed
her on the sofa and was back with her medicine in instants. She drank
the bitter liquid but still shook.
"Lee-chan?
Where are you?" she said reaching her hand out.
Lee moved
her around so she was sat on his lap and gently rubbed tense
shoulders and smoothed her hair back from a pale face.
"Please
don't leave me" she whispered
"Hush I
wont"
Gradually
she relaxed.
"That
was a bad one" she sighed relaxing into him
"You've
had others?" he asked why haven't I noticed?
"They
don't usually come during the day" She reached out to put the
glass on a table nearby and missed, instead she placed it on the
floor.
"That's
it; I shall come and stay with you until these attacks stop!" Lee
had been having images of Sakura alone in her home as the pain
wracked her body. Suddenly he realised Sakura had gone silent, and
what he had just said. Lee flushed bright red.
"I…I
only have the sofa" she said biting her lip.
"I'll
be right back!"
"Alright….Lee-Kun"
Sakura smiled lying back down as he got up
All
she heard was the small thunk as he removed his weights and the door
closing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Five minutes Lee was leant against the walls of his house "Did she just call me Lee-kun?" he asked grinning madly
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As he
returned to her flat he was concerned to her a small noise,
whimpering coming from within.
Opening
the door he saw Sakura had fallen from the coach, she was curled up
on the floor blood flowing from where she had bitten through her lip
in an effort not to scream.
Lee was
halfway to the kitchen before he remembered that the medicine Sakura
was given couldn't be taken more than once per day.
He
returned to the room and lifter her up cradling her to him before
sitting back on the sofa and rubbing her shoulders and stroking her
hair like before,
"Lee..?"
she asked forcing out the words though they brought fresh blood
"It's
okay"
With a
trembling hand she reached up and stroked his hair. Gently Lee caught
it and placed a kiss on the back.
A while
later Sakura had finally fallen asleep.
Lee caught her as she almost fell off the sofa again. His eye caught the bedroom door and he blushed on reflex.
He looked at Sakura who looked awkward on the sofa, even though she was sleeping peacefully.
He looked at the bedroom door.
Lee shook his head and picked Sakura up bridal style and headed towards the bedroom, turning red as he did so. It was a plain room with light pink and white walls and furnishings. Removing her shoes Lee put Sakura in her bed. However as she turned to leave he found Sakura had wrapped her hand around his…and wouldn't let go without force.
Lee looked in the mirror beside the bed Could I blush anymore? He asked himself and then slid into bed beside Sakura. He suppressed a pleased shudder as she nuzzled her nose into his neck and then they both slept.
