Anything for you Chapter 2
A/N: I feel like this chapter is too small and the last one was too big. Please tell me if there are any mistakes!
Misaki sat on the couch, grimacing because of the pain that accompanied it. Usui came back with some soup and left it near her for a while to make it cool down a little, because it was piping hot and could not be cooled even if he blew on it. He noticed her pain.
"Ayuzawa.. Honestly I don't know how you got through school today."
She looked away guiltily. "A-actually, I sort of.. Blacked out by the end of the day. And," She blushed, "I really wanted to see you and make sure you were okay, so I crept out of the hospital wing and came here."
He shook his head, smiling and blushing slightly.
She would do that much for me?
"Hey, Prez. You can borrow my shirt and these old track pants." He said, throwing a T-shirt and a pant from his clothes pile. "Don't worry, I won't look. I'll help you to the bathroom."
She got up and staggered, but managed to remain on her feet. She leaned on Usui, who led her to the bathroom. She came out a few minutes later wearing a shirt that was way too big for her. She smiled weakly while he led her back to the sofa.
"Okay, time to eat." He took a spoonful of soup and blew on it lightly. "Open up." He said. He then put it gently in her mouth, and Misaki was startled.
It's so delicious! No way did he make that.. It's not human to be so perfect.
Usui, noticing Misaki's expression, smirked and said, "Yes, I made it. Homemade perverted outer space alien soup. For my dear Misa-chan."
She blushed again. "Um, can I have some more?"
He smiled. "Of course."
After he had finished feeding her, they just sat there in silence for a while, sitting in the couch. Misaki broke the silence first.
"Do you mind if I ask about your mother?"
He was startled, but he knew that Misaki wouldn't mind if he shed a few tears in front of her.
"Not at all."
"Can you tell me about her then?"
"Okay. She- she was a really good baker, but a horrible cook. Her chocolate chip cookies were unbeatable, but her rice cakes always ended up burnt. My father made our meals instead." He was tearing up by now, and Misaki reached out of her warm cocoon blanket wrapped around her and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Ma did really sweet gestures. I liked keeping my room tidy, but when I was too busy to tidy it, she would tidy it and leave tiny surprises all around my room, like candies and tiny books. She was good with magic tricks."
As he kept talking about his mother, tears flowed down his cheeks. But he didn't notice them.
He was smiling.
When he stopped, he noticed his tears and wiped them away. He looked to his side, and found Misaki snuggled into his arm.
"Your mother's a wonderful person…"
Hoping he didn't feel the heat from her face, she said,
"Takumi."
He smiled. If anyone sees the normally violent President and the normally cold Usui Takumi like this..
He leaned into her as she leaned into him, and heard her rhythmic soft breathing that meant she was asleep. He could feel her heartbeat, which was slowed down.
Thump. Thump.
And the sun came out of the clouds. The rain stopped, good enough weather for Misaki to head home, but Usui didn't dare wake her.
A while later, Misaki shifted and then woke up to see Usui staring down at her.
I don't want to move.. And his shirt smells so good!
"Got a good rest, Prez?"
She nodded in reply, too tired to say anything.
"Okay, I'll take you back home now."
She mumbled a small protest, and Usui chuckled.
"So you want to stay here?"
She nodded groggily. He got up from the sofa they were sitting on, making Misaki protest more. He tossed her clothes on her.
"Look, they've all dried. Go and change now."
After she had changed back into her school clothes, Usui checked her temperature again.
"99°F. Much better. Come on, let's take you back home."
Now fully awake, she said, "What if Ma or Suzuna sees me?"
"I'll say hello to them then!"
After a fight with a flustered Misaki and a smirking Usui, he walked out with her into the cool still air outside. She rested her head in his shoulder because of her headache and tiredness, and Usui put his hand on her shoulder. They reached Misaki's house, and Usui rang the bell.
"Comi-"
Her mother stopped short when she saw Usui with Misaki.
"Hello, Ayuzawa san."
"Usui Takumi! Come in, please. Misaki? Are you okay?"
"She had a bad fever and she even fainted. Her temperature is okay now, but she needs rest."
"Oh dear! Okay Suzuna, make some food for Usui san here while I help Misaki."
Soon Misaki had changed clothes and she came down the stairs to see Usui eating the weird bunny apples her sister made.
After a while of Misaki's nagging, he finally got ready to leave. At the doorstep, he turned the other way. Misaki lightly tapped his shoulder, and he turned back, only to get a kiss on his cheek.
"T-thanks for helping me. Outer space alien pervert."
He rubbed the place she had kissed in shock, and he smiled.
"Anything for you, Ayuzawa."
