Umi stood outside Nozomi's apartment, a bag of medicine and some food held securely in her hand. Her lover was down with a cold and thus being the worried girlfriend Umi was, she had decided to drop by her apartment after school.

"Okay me, nothing's going happen this time! Knock on the door already!" Umi told herself as she took in a huge breath before bringing up her hand to knock on the door. Three solid knocks later, Umi waited patiently by the door. She could vaguely hear sounds of shuffling from the apartment before the door finally creaked open.

"Umi-chan…? Why are you here…?" Nozomi asked drowsily, yawning. Her eyes were still half lidded, hair mussed messily, having just woken up. The older girl seemed to be in a slight daze, her face slightly flushed, possibly from a fever.

"E-Eli told me that you were sick and I decided to visit you…" Umi blushed furiously when she noticed how crumpled Nozomi's pajamas were, the buttons in the wrong hole, and how several top buttons were unbuttoned. Her eyes inevitably trailed down to the exposed skin down the valley, blatantly staring at her byzantium haired girlfriend's chest.

H-Her cleavage is–

"Umi-chan, please do come in…" Fortunately, Nozomi interrupted Umi's thoughts as she ushered the bluenette in slowly, not noticing Umi's lingering gaze on her chest. Her movements were painfully slow and unstable and she leaned against the furniture to for support; she walked in slight staggers and her whole body ached.

"Nozomi, are you okay? I could carry you back to your room…" Umi asked worriedly, immediately jumping in to support Nozomi when the latter missed her footing, and would have tripped and fallen if not for Umi's quick reflexes. Nozomi murmured a slurred 'thank you' as she leaned against Umi's shoulder wearily. Umi bit her inner lip in worry when felt the warm heat of Nozomi's feverish skin against hers.

She's really burning up.

Seeing her girlfriend being in so much pain, the bluenette felt a slight pinch of ache in her heart.

"Nozomi…"

"D-Don't worry… We're almost back to my room…" Nozomi responded weakly, taking another step forward just as her vision started to blur slightly and her legs buckled, causing her to fall sideways. Alarmed, Umi immediately caught her before the older girl could crash to the floor unceremoniously.

Umi instantly carried Nozomi in her arms and placed Nozomi on the bed gently.

"Urgh… I don't feel so good…" Nozomi whimpered, pressing her hands against her stomach that started to churn.

"What's wrong? Does your body hurt?" Umi asked, her amber eyes darting around as she searched for any possible places Nozomi would feel discomfort.

"N-No… It's more li-" Nozomi's words were abruptly cut off as she clamped her mouth with her palm, leaping out of her bed just as bile rose through her throat involuntarily.

"Nozo-"

Umi's panicked voice was interrupted by heavy footsteps scrambling towards the bathroom just before Nozomi started retching, her body forcefully purged out whatever little she had eaten for the day into the toilet bowl. Tears formed at her teal eyes as she bore the pain of the stomach acid burning her throat as her insides continued to churn and twist uncomfortably.

"It's okay… I'm here for you…" Umi gently comforted Nozomi as she tapped lightly on her girlfriend's back, rubbing it slowly as the older girl continued to expel the acidic contents out of her stomach, her breaths heavy at the strain.

A few minutes later, Nozomi stopped heaving and she rested her head against Umi's shoulder while Umi took it upon herself to flush the toilet bowl and to support her lover up to wash up.

"Sorry…I must be inconveniencing you right Umi-chan…?" Nozomi muttered weakly, her voice hoarse. Umi shook her head, "It isn't an inconvenience at all. It's fine." Patting Nozomi's head affectionately, the bluenette gently gathered Nozomi in her arms and carried her back to her room, placing her gently on the bed, before tucking her in.

"It's okay, Nozomi. Lie down on your bed and look at the ceiling. It'll orientate your balance since vomiting is probably caused by a lack of balance in perception." Umi placed a soft kiss on Nozomi's forehead. "I'll be right back with some warm water."

Nozomi nodded slightly and giving her lover one last worried glance, Umi left the room.

"Here's the water. I've also brought you some medicine." Umi placed the glass of warm water on the counter beside Nozomi's bed and pulled out a small ziplock bag with white pills inside. Nozomi shakily reached out for the glass of water and pressed it close to her mouth, only for the water to spill onto her shirt as she tried to take a sip. Her hands were trembling too much that she wasn't able to properly hold the glass of water.

"Sorry… Could you pass me the pills first…? I'll change into another one later…" Umi nodded, taking out two pills and placing them into Nozomi's mouth.

"Eh…? Umi-chan…?" Nozomi titled her head, confused. What was Umi trying to do?

"I-It's just to help you swallow them." Umi explained before kissing Nozomi, coaxing Nozomi's tongue with hers so the medicine could go into Nozomi's mouth. Once the medicine left her mouth, Umi removed her tongue, a trail of saliva connecting them.

"I-I'll bring you a new shirt. And I'll towel your sweat off! You don't feel comfortable right?" Umi hastily stood up and went to the closet to get a shirt for Nozomi, her face blushing heavily from her sudden action.

Of all methods why did I choose the most shameless one…? Umi started to berate herself for kissing Nozomi all of a sudden, utterly embarrassed. Banishing her thoughts aside, she grabbed a light green shirt and a small handkerchief to towel Nozomi's body off.

"N-Nozomi! I'm back! Could you re–" Umi stopped, her gaze falling on Nozomi's exposed chest.

"Already done…" Umi continued to stare at Nozomi's chest, now on public display for Umi to see. Noticing that Umi hasn't responded to her, she tried to get Umi's attention. "Umi-chan…?"

Oh god, her skin… her breasts… her abdomen… This is too much! I-I can't tear my eyes away from Nozomi's body! Especially the hypnotic bouncing of her breasts… Umi thought to herself, now blatantly ogling at Nozomi's curvaceous frame. She failed to notice Nozomi calling out to her weakly until she heard her lover coughing violently.

"Nozomi?! Are you okay?!" Umi immediately went over to Nozomi, who was by now trembling due to the cold.

"I-It's okay…" Nozomi mumbled out, her vision starting to blur as she tried to sit up straight for Umi to towel her sweat off. Umi brought up the handkerchief and started to towel the sweat, trying her very best to suppress her unholy thoughts as she restrained herself from letting the cloth linger on certain parts of Nozomi's delectable skin.

Her skin is so soft… I… want to kiss it…

No- I can't. She's sick! But now that I think about it… this reminds me of the time where I came over and did that… Her sweaty skin, the slight flush on her face, her erratic breathing… Ahhh I'm turning into a major pervert in this rate…

"Nngh…" Nozomi moaned out softly, startling Umi out of her thoughts. It was then the bluenette realised that her hands had lingered along Nozomi's breasts too long while she was deep in her thoughts and when she moved slightly, the fabric had accidentally brushed over her lover's areola. Umi instantly removed her hand, her face rivalling Maki's hair as she averted her eyes away from Nozomi as her heart started to pound quicker.

Control. I need to control myself. Umi chanted in her mind, biting her inner lip as she continued to wipe her lover's smooth body with shaking hands, desperately trying to expel the memories of her and Nozomi moaning and groaning on the exact same bed the other day.

"Umi…chan?"

"S-Sorry…!" Umi's flush deepened. She wondered if Nozomi was doing this on purpose. But the purplette seemed so out of it that Umi dismissed that possibility immediately.

Nozomi's hair was in disarray, her cheeks fully flushed as she gasped lightly in between her breaths, sweat trickling down from the sides of her tousled hair. Her usual vibrant turquoise eyes were dazed. The sight was almost seductive and hot, especially when Nozomi was stark naked and vulnerable, lying weakly on the bed.

Umi gulped as her face flushed further. Heat had gathered at the pit of her abdomen as arousal started to stoke between her thighs. She was starting to feel a slight itch from the built up of wet arousal and Umi cursed inwardly at her inability to control herself.

"Umi-chan…" Nozomi whimpered slightly when Umi's hands stopped again.

"I-I'm sorry!" Umi apologised again as she shook her head internally.

Gotta get my head out of the gutter.

Gnashing her teeth, the blue haired archer resumed her work silently, her desire barely contained as she focused her thoughts on visualising an image of her swinging a kendo sword repeatedly.

After several agonising minutes, Umi finally finished her task. Now to put on some clothes–

"Umi-chan…" Nozomi whispered, raising her hands weakly, as if wanting to tell her lover something.

"Nozomi?"

"Come…here..." Nozomi tried to beckon the blue haired girl forward, yet her arm only fell backward useless, laying limp by her side weakly.

"What is it?" Umi asked gently, brushing the purple tresses on Nozomi's forehead so that her fringe wouldn't stick, her golden orbs full of tender affection that would've melted Nozomi's heart if not for the fact that she's sick.

Nozomi made a soft sound of contentment which made Umi scoot closer to the older girl, as the former attempted to dress Nozomi in a fresh and new shirt.

Just as the younger girl leaned forward, Nozomi lifted her hands up and wrapped it around Umi's neck, pulling the bluenette down until their faces were merely an inch away.

Umi's throat went extremely dry, her heart pounding quickly against her chest at the extreme close proximity. Her face was undoubtedly red, the short and quick breathes of the girl below her tickled her sensitive skin. She couldn't repress a shudder as Nozomi pressed her naked body further into the younger girl, nuzzling into her neck.

"N-Nozomi..." Umi's voice came out a little strained as she let out a shuddering breath.

"Umi-chan…let me kiss you…" Nozomi said feverishly as she pressed her lips against Umi's.

"Nozo-mmph–" Umi's protest was immediately drowned out as she felt herself returning the kiss. Seconds later, she found herself moaning slightly as she stuck her tongue in, letting their hot wetness mingle with each other, tasting each other as fire shot through Umi's entire being.

Rationality was starting to erode from her mind as pleasure start to set in slowly, nulling her mind as she pushed Nozomi down onto the bed, kissing the older girl deeply and without any restraint.

It was only several more seconds had passed when Nozomi started to whimper and Umi immediately snapped out of it and had torn herself away from the older girl, gasping.

"Nozomi- I'm so– " Umi started to apologise. What was she thinking?! Nozomi was still sick! How could she have attacked her like a savage beast?!

"Umi-chan…More…"

Umi felt her ears ringing as Nozomi's words echoed inside her mind repeatedly. More…She wants more…

Umi gulped, clenching her fingers into tight fists, trying to stay in control. I shouldn't–

"Please…take me," Nozomi's voice was surprisingly firm, her cheeks flushed.

The thin line of rationality that held Umi in control all this while finally snapped.

Without warning, Umi had crushed her lips against her lover's, and almost immediately, Nozomi had locked them in a passionate kiss when Umi's tongue had lingered at the entrance of the older girl's lips for a tad too long.

Heated exchange of saliva ensued as Umi probed further in, exploring the insides of her lover's mouth in between short gasps of breaths.

"…Love you…" Nozomi groaned, clutching Umi's back tighter, as she drowned herself in Umi's taste.

"I love you too, Nozomi," Umi took the chance to whisper back when they parted from their hot kiss, a thin silver line of saliva stretching between their mouths.

"I'm going to…" Umi let the implication trail off to which Nozomi nodded slightly.

As she felt heat rushed up to her cheeks at the prospect of what she was about to do, the younger girl dipped down and captured Nozomi's own perk bud into her mouth, lapping her tongue over one of her lover's most sensitive spot.

A soft whimper from Nozomi caused Umi to double her efforts, circling her wet tongue slowly over her areola as she slid her cold hands smoothly down to the juncture between Nozomi's thighs, raking her fingers teasingly over the now slightly moist entrance. She had to return the favour to the older girl after all.

Nozomi groaned, unable to withstand the pleasure that Umi was able to evoke in her.

Umi's mind was in a slight haze, body heated so hotly that she thought it'd combust. She could feel the bare body below her shiver slightly and had instantly pressed her own warmer body closer to spread her warmth towards the now panting girl.

"Umi…chan! P-Please…"

"Mmm…" Was the only answer Umi gave as she let her tongue glide down from the valley of Nozomi's mounds to her stomach, navel, leaving hot trails of butterfly kisses everywhere in a bid to worship her lover's voluptuous and beautiful body before it finally came to a slow halt at Nozomi's now wet entrance.

Nozomi moaned loudly when she felt something soft and wet brushed across her clit.

The loud, unrestrained moans from her lover had caused a shot of arousal through Umi's lower region and unconsciously, her felt herself sliding her own fingers down into her skirt, to her already drenched panties that was soaked with arousal. Upon contact with the white piece of cloth that covered her nether regions, Umi couldn't help the slight moan that escaped from her own lips.

The moan from Umi had caused Nozomi's body to flame up, her legs twitched slightly from the slight pleasure incited by the pressure on the most sensitive part of her body.

"Umi-chan…" Nozomi started to pant in quick breaths when Umi continued to assault and play with her clit, occasionally probing her tongue into the entrance and began sucking.

"Oh god– Umi–" The rest of Umi's name was continued with yet another loud mewl of pleasure.

"Nozo…mi…" Umi let out a guttural moan as she rubbed the thin fabric against her clit quicker with practised ease, as she let herself drown in the symphony of her lover's cries in the midst of their love making.

Umi repeatedly licked and pushed her tongue further in, feeling her lover's labia contract before her insides squeezed against the hot flesh, eliciting more love juices which Umi slurped up immediately eagerly.

It only took several more seconds before Umi felt a pressure building up in her abdomen quickly signalling an impending climax.

Nozomi's body was on fire.

Her mind started to blank, her mouth agape as moans clawed its way out of her throat, her toes curled as the pressure within her escalated when her lover plunged her tongue into her for the last time before proceeding to bring her to greater heights by the intense pleasure through her clit.

The feel and the sounds of knowing that her lover was writhing above her as Nozomi clutched Umi's hair in tight locks caused Umi to moan just as she finally reached her peak.

Almost immediately, Nozomi cried out as she too, shuddered into a high climax.

Her whole body was still shivering as her arms lay limp on the bed in exhaustion. Her eyes started to droop from fatigue and the fact that she was sick wasn't forgotten by Umi who tried to support Nozomi's body, slowly supporting her back on to the bed.

"Nozomi…" Umi muttered out, brushing away strands of hair that were covering Nozomi's eyes.

"Umi…chan…" Nozomi breathed out, extending out her hands and wrapping them over Umi's neck. With some effort, she was able to pull her lover's body on to her own sweaty body.

"At least let me help you put a shirt on…" Umi sighed, wrapping her arms over Nozomi's body. A faint chuckle could be heard from her sick lover, her arms around Umi's neck tightening.

"I wanna cuddle…like this…" With that, Nozomi went to sleep, leaving Umi awake in her arms.

"Haa… She's asleep… Well, I guess I could take a nap like this…" Umi muttered to herself, smiling at Nozomi's peaceful sleeping face. Umi then proceeded to close her eyes, with Nozomi securely below her as she pulled over the covers of the blanket to keep her lover warm.

I hope that you'll have a pleasant sleep Nozomi…


So this is the second part of the collaboration I did with signbear. Well, maybe I should just put it out for you here but we're not going to do a third chapter. In fact, the only reason there's a second chapter is due to my selfishness and I dragged signbear along. Nevertheless, please feel free to express your thoughts on this chapter.

We don't own Love Live.
