Chapter 14- When he gets sick

-;-

Devon sat on his bed. I wonder if she's alright. He thought. And why was my chest heavy there? He thought about it for many hours and before he finally fell asleep.

In the morning

He woke up only to find he had only 20 minutes to get to school. The reason why he didn't get up early was because he worried for Mikan half the night. And also, his butler was absent for the day. He quickly did the necessary preparations.

Why did I think about her half the night? He thought.

He quickly rushed out of his room to get to class, using the shortcut near the lake. He passed by a student playing ball. But tragedy struck, the child who was playing had the ability to make things bigger. He accidentally made the ball bigger and threw it at Devon. It hit his head and he ended up falling in the lake, making him drenched.

Damn! He thought. I only have three minutes to get to class. No time to change.

He quickly ran toward the classroom. The teacher was already in.

"I'm sorry sensei." He said. He was wet from top to bottom. The fan girls, as usual, thought he looked hot.

"KYAA! DEVON-SAMA LOOKS ESTRA HOT TODAY! They cried.

The teacher sweat dropped. "Glad you could join us Koshiba-kun. Please proceed to your seat. And um, why are you wet?" He said. Devon just shook his head.

The teacher nodded and Devon walked over to his seat beside Mikan.

"Why are you wet? Go change you'll get sick!" She whispered.

"tch"

She rolled her eyes at his predictable reply. "Thanks for yesterday, by the way."

He raised a brow. "No problem.".

"I feel light headed" he thought.

Mikan was quick to see the ill look that passed his face. "I wonder if Devon's alright. He looks a little flustered,"

End of school

Mikan and Devon walked together back to their dorms, long after dismissal came. A project held them back in school a bit later than they wanted. Devon was feeling weaker and weaker by the moment. Everything around him was spinning. He coughed under his breath, determined not to look weak in front of Mikan.

But Mikan turned around to face him. "Is something wrong?" she asked. He didn't answer and suddenly placed his head on her shoulder.

"D-Devon w-what are you doing?" she stammered, flustered and confused at the actions of the usually robust boy. He didn't answer and abruptly he fell to the floor.

"Devon?" Mikan cried.

She placed his arm over her shoulder and step by step she guided him to her room slowly.

She laid him on her bed and quickly left to get water and a towel to wipe his forehead with. .

When she gathered all the said items, she sat beside him on the bed, and aided him.

After a while, He started to stir. He opened his eyes. "Where am I?" he asked, a bit disoriented.

Mikan heaved a sigh of relief. "Oh, thank god you're all right. You have a fever."

"Oh, sorry for the trouble I might've caused..." He said.

"No problem at all." Mikan smiled. "Really, you should take care of yourself."

She stood up. "I'll just sleep on the couch." She raised a finger when she noticed he was going to protest. "you, my dear Devon, are staying riiiight here. Sleep. You're sick."
He sighed. He knew it was of no use to argue with Mikan, she was famous for her stubbornness, you know.

But when he saw her stepping away from the bed, be it from instinct or whatever, Devon grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.

"Stay, please stay." He hushed in her ear. She was shocked. "Devon?"

"Just stay here." He said, pulling her closer so that she was also lying on her bed.

Mikan blushed and nodded. He fell asleep still holding her hand.

"What's happening?" she thought looking at Devon's face, her heart racing.

She could feel his breath on her face. She also fell asleep.
