"Are you alright?" Kyo asked quickly once the reality of the situation hit him. Tohru was definitely awake and standing before him.
She stared at him a moment, the smile not fading from her face. It was almost like she examining the every contour his face for some curve that was new to her. Finally she nodded, "I'm fine, don't worry Kyo-san." Kyo felt his feet arch as he faught to keep them planted firmly on the ground. He had such a sudden urge to close the small gap between them, he had little time to keep his cool. He lifted up onto his tip toes for a moment before falling back onto his feels with a very audible 'thump'. She gave him an adorable puzzled look that made him shift his gaze to the ground. He couldn't even begin to explain to her that he had to force his body to stay away from her, that at this moment he wanted to hold her so badly. Damn the curse, damn his insecurities, damn it all.
Looking back up at her, Kyo noticed that she was still offly red. "How's your head? I er, I mean, do you feel like you have a fever?" Kyo asked as sweetly as he could.
"Oh, well now that you mention it, it hurts a little...but its not bad." She placed a hand on her own forehead for a moment, if nothing else to tuck a few strands of hair out of the sweat they had been glued to.
"There's soup down stairs, It'll feel better once something's in your stomach." Kyo did the best play calm, he offered here an arm to lean on, if she wanted it. She took it with the same smile, but didn't move when Kyo took a step forward.
"I'm a mess" she whispered, "Maybe I should take a bath first, you wouldn't want me to sit at the dinner table like this." She all of a sudden looked sorry and guilt ridden, Kyo couldn't believe she actually cared what she looked like right now. She was sick, nothing else , even with reddened sweat stained cheeks, her eyes sparkled wonderfully.
