Chapter 2~

"I can't believe you just left him there all alone." Shima frowned, giving him a somewhat displeased glare from behind the top of his manga.

"He's the one that pissed me off." Bon mumbled from his spot on his bed.

In front of the teen several books were laid about, all open, and the highlighter marks clearly visible for everyone in the room to see. Notes were jotted down along the margins of the book and cluttering the once clean page; all in the brunette n' blondes hand writing. Beside the books lay a notebook, battered and open to a once clean page. Now it was cluttered in more notes and highlighted marks. The teen's handwriting clean enough for anyone to read, and clearly rivaled Rin's; not like Bon cared about the demon. Did he?

"He's always acting like he's supposed to be right about everything and he's always getting on my nerves."

"That still isn't a good enough excuse for dumping cold water all over him." The pink-haired teen frowned, looking back at the page he had been reading. "Didn't the headmaster tell you if he got wet or cold he couldn't use his flames and it'd be harder to get him warm again?"

"He did." Bon deadpanned, while he grabbed his notebook and jotted down a few notes. "And I don't need you reminding me of them."

Silence filled the room, causing Shima muttered something under his breath and Miwa to remain silent from his spot at one of the two desks in the room. It had been about ten minutes ago when they ended their study session and Bon was immediately regretting ending it at all. He didn't need to be reminded of what he did to the sick demon. The younger teen had deserved all of it. Rin needed to get some punishment for his big mouth and he was getting it, or at least that's how Bon thought. Although it didn't help that Shima was flipping through his manga and glaring at him in the process. Apparently his best friend and Rin were super close, and Shima wasn't taking too kindly to leaving the demon all alone in the dorm room and sick. He swore he had been getting that same determined and pissed glare for the past five minutes. That was until the teen huffed and slapped the book closed. Shima setting the book in his lap, before he crossed his arms and glared at Bon. Great, here came the lecture.

"You know, you can't run away from this forever." Shima spoke, while the brunette n' blonde pretended not to hear and continued on with his notes for tomorrows class. "Rin-chan will eventually find out, you know?"

The brunette n' blonde proceeded to ignore the older, flipping the page in one of his books and while grabbing his highlighter to start making more notes to himself. Only to get a frustrated huff from Shima, making the teen get off the other bed and walk over to him. It only seconds, before the highlighter was out of his hand and all his books were on the floor. Total courtesy of Shima, who had just grabbed the bed sheet and pulled it off the bed; taking the books with it.

"What the hell-?" The brunette n' blonde started, before he saw the death glare on his best friend's face.

"You wanna know what the hell is wrong with me?" Shima asked, taking Bon's words right out of the teen's mouth. "You're sitting here making notes for next week's classes, while your crush is sick and stuck in bed all alone in his dorm! Not to mention you threw water on him and he's probably freezing to Ghenna and back, while you're here all warm and content with your life like he doesn't exist! So you wanna know what the hell is wrong with me? I'm pissed at you because you're sitting here like an asshole, all while Rin-chan is freezing his ass off back in his dorm and still sick! Get the picture?"

All Bon could do was sit on the bed and stare at his best friend in shock. It was particularly rare to see Shima mad at anyone, let alone him. Him and the pink-haired teen had been best friends since they could walk and neither of them had really had a terrible problem with each other. If one of them pissed the other off they clearly stated it and moved on with their lives, but they had never yelled at each other. Scratch that, Shima had never yelled at him for anything at all, the whole time they had been best friends. Then out of nowhere he was suddenly mad at him, because he gave the little demon a taste of his own medicine? That he couldn't get. Rin had deserved what he got, deserved the punishment for making Bon feel like shit. Hell, he loved the kid, but his attitude and the way he acted pissed him off. He could handle normal and annoying Rin, but he couldn't handle pissed and angry Rin. When Rin got angry Bon steered clear of the danger, but yesterday wasn't a moment he could've avoided. Not when he could've blurted out his true feelings for the demon and ruined everything, pissed off Rin even more, and made the demon hate him forever.

"I'm not going over there Shima." Bon finally spoke, giving his friend a look of warning. "Rin deserved what I gave him and if he really needs me he'd call. The guy's not a complete idiot."

"I don't care if Rin-chan is an idiot or not, Ryuji!" Shima yelled, the teen surprisingly using the brunette n' blonde's name in his fury. "Rin-chan is sick and he needs you there to take care of him! The headmaster and Sensei gave you this responsibility because they trust you and trust that you'll take care of Rin-chan, but sitting here isn't going to make Rin-chan better!"

"Shima-"

"Don't you 'Shima' me! You're getting your ass over there if it's the last thing you ever do!"

Almost instantly the two were glaring at one another. Eyes locked and angers rising, while Shima's finger was pointed in the direction of the door as if he was Bon's mother. Not only his attitude, but eyes telling him to get his ass moving, or Bon's was going to find himself in a whole heap of trouble and sleeping out in the hall of the dorms for the night; or even out in the cold if Shima got pissed enough. Something not even the brunette n' blonde wanted to challenge. He knew if Shima wanted something done, and done right, he had to push the younger around a bit and rile him up just like Bon's mother had to.

"If I go over there and check on him, will you leave me alone so I can get my notes done?" Bon finally spoke, Miwa was half hiding behind the chair he was sitting in.

"Only if you come back with a happy and not sick Rin-chan." Shima spoke, a lot softer, as he crossed his arms and looked at him.

The statement making it all too obvious that the older was going to have to expect that Shima wasn't letting him in the dorm room tonight, or the night after, unless the demon was healthy and walking again. Which meant he was going to be stuck at the demon's place, till the annoying idiot was able to speak without stumbling over words and sneezing all over the place. Great, what a cluster fuck this turned out to be.

"Fine." Bon growled, grabbing his backpack and shoving his books, along with a random bundle of clothes that were lying on the floor, in his bag. "You are going to owe me big time after this."

"I don't owe you anything. You owe Rin-chan for the rest of the week, with nothing but care and relaxation. Now get your ass moving."

Bon let out a heavy sigh, as he stopped in front of the door to the abandoned dorms and glared at the worn out wood. Of all the things he wanted to do on his Saturday morning it definitely wasn't this. He didn't want to walk in there and deal with Rin's attitude and his words. Rin could all but threaten him to burn him alive if he walked in there, but he definitely wasn't going to be able to go back to the dorm room. Shima had chewed him out thoroughly, took Bon's key to the room, and shoved his ass out into the hall before he locked the door. So he was definitely stuck here, even if he hated the idea.

So when he pulled the key out of his pocket, he didn't expect the door to open on its own and reveal a fairly pale and shaking Rin. The teen dressed in soft fleece pajama bottoms and a heavy sweater, socks covering his feet and a heavy blanket over his shoulders. His blue eyes softly glaring at him; despite the small bit of happiness that was shown in them. He could've sworn he saw relief in those eyes, but the older didn't push that thought. Rin didn't look so good, maybe even worse than he had been when he first saw him, and he swore he never saw someone shake as badly as the teen was at the moment.

"Uh, He-"

"Wh-where h-have you b-been?" Rin asked, his voice shaking as he tried to pull the heavy blanket closer around him and found it as tight around him as it could go.

"You see I was-" Bon found himself instantly stopping his sentence the moment he saw the demon shut his eyes and try to pull the blanket tighter around him still in an attempt to get himself warmer. "How about we get you something warm to drink first. You look like you're freezing."

"N-no sh-shit." Rin managed to force out, as the older tried to ignore the comment and helped the demon toward the kitchen as he shut the front door behind him.

The two of them were completely silent, while Bon slowly lead the demon to the dorm's cafeteria and had him sit down at one of the empty tables. The demon instantly bringing his knees to his chest, and wrapping his arms around the folded appendages. The young teen giving a violent shiver, as he tightly hugged himself and tried to keep what little heat he had left in his body. The older giving the small demon a soft look, before he pulled his backpack off his shoulders and ignored the younger's eyes on him. Bon unzipping his backpack, before he pulled out one of his old zip up hoodies; and draped it around the demon's shoulders. The action making the younger teen look up at him in surprise, before he gave him a soft smile and pulled the article of clothing closer to his body.

"Thank you, Bon."
