Chapter 9

"Uh, Misaki," Usagi murmured, his tongue coming unstuck. "Are you alright? You're awfully hot."

"But right now I feel pretty good," Misaki responded, sounding a little out of it. He was still leaning into Usagi's cool hand.

"But that's only because my hand is cold. Look," and, loathe as he was to do it, he pulled his hand back.

Misaki instantly felt hot. Usagi was right. "Can I have your hand back," he asked, hardly believing his own words.

Usagi also looked startled, but he said, "Of course," and placed his hand on Misaki's way too hot face. Misaki rested one of his own hands on top of Usagi's. Usagi froze. Misaki almost never acted affectionate, even if it was for his own benefit. There was no doubt about it. Misaki was definitely sick.

"You know," Usagi said after a moment, we're going to the doctor today for a check up, we should probably get this looked at too."

"Mmm, okay, sure," Misaki murmured. "But now I gotta get up." He pulled away, cringing as his face began to burn once more.

"You're not going anywhere, Misaki. We had this conversation about ten minutes ago."

"Oh, yeah." He yawned widely. "But now I gotta make dinner.""

Uagi raised his eyebrows. He's gone loopy. "Misaki, ffirst of all, your not getting up, remember, and secondly, you've been asleep for about sixteen hours. It's 1:30 in the morning, so just relax. In the actual morning, I'll make you breakfast and then we'll go to the hospital.

Misaki stared at Usagi for a moment before slowly turning to look at the alarm clock. Usagi-san was right.

Mot saying another word, Misaki dropped back down and let his head hit the pillow so that he was facing away from closed his eyes, fighting the heat in his face. Suddenly, Usagi's arms snaked around Misaki and pulled him into Usagi's body. Then his grip loosened as he placed both hands on either side of Misaki's face. Misaki relaxed as his face cooled under Usagi-san's touch. "Thank you," he whispered sleepily.

"I love you," Usagi replied.

"Mmm, me too," Misaki whispered as he fell asleep.

Please r & r.

This time, the chapter is supposed to be romantic. The last chapter was not, it was supposed to convey distress. I only write this because people kept saying how sweet chapter 8 was.

Sorry it is so short, but this was the best breaking point and the next chapter is a bit longer…I think…
