Souji woke up feeling like crap. His head was pounding, he felt cold then hot, his throat was burning and he felt so tired. Groaning he opened his eyes blinking to focus his vision. He saw the worried stares of his teammates as he woke up.
"What happened?" he croaked wincing at how his voice sounded.
"You collapsed during battle sempai. If you were feeling this ill you should have cancelled the training." Naoto said trying to keep her voice levelled as much as possible but still had a hint of concern.
"Yeah partner you know we would have understood" Yosuke said patting his shoulder gesturing him to lie back down as he tried to sit up.
He sighed looking up at the ceiling trying to avoid their worried gazes. Silence enveloped the room until the door creaked open revealing Nanako with a tray of soup.
"Is onii-san awake?" she inquired worriedly balancing the tray of soup in her hands.
His glazed eyes looked at her as she set the tray of soup down beside his futon.
"You should try to eat onii-chan. It will help you get better faster. That's what daddy did when I was sick" She said already getting the spoon and dipping it ready to spoon feed him.
He gave her a kind smile and tried to sit up. He was assisted by Kanji and Yosuke and he gave them a small nod of thanks. He started eating a little feeling the warm broth slide down his throat. It felt nice and relieving on his sore throat but could only finish half of the bowl given to him.
"Thank you Nanako" he croaked as he laid back down in his futon with a sigh his head throbbing. She gave him a small smile, took the bowl and left leaving him again with his worried teammates.
"Sempai have you been sleeping well lately?" Rise asked eyeing the dark circles underneath the sick boy's eyes.
"I noticed that you look exhausted all the time during class Souji-kun" Yukiko stated softly.
"Yeah and lately you've been running straight to your jobs after school" Yosuke added looking at his partner.
Souji looked around and saw everyone staring at him waiting for an answer. He just shook his head weakly putting a hand to ease his throbbing head.
"Damn it sempai! Why do you keep pushing yourself! Why don't you let us help you out!" Kanji shouted slamming his hand on the ground.
Souji winced from the sound and turned to glare at his junior. He was already sick and exhausted enough he didn't need all this drama.
"Kanji! That's not the address your senior! Souji is sick he needs to rest and get better first before we interrogate him for answers." Chie said crossing her arms glaring at the punk hothead.
"I agree with Chie-chan. Sensei is in no condition to answer your questions" Teddy chirped standing making his way to Souji.
"Now sensei let me tuck you in bed so that you can get better faster!" The blond exclaimed excitedly walking excitedly to Souji. Unfortunately he didn't notice the wet rag on the floor and slipped landing on the floor kicking up the basin of cold water on Souji's futon.
Souji felt cold water splash on his face and body drenching his bed and clothes. Exclamations and shouts of Teddy! Idiot! Souji! Sempai! were heard all over the room. Souji sneezed and coughed violently in his hands trying to minimize spreading his sickness to the team. Everyone was shouting and making a ruckus when Nanako opened the door.
"I heard a lot of shouting and noise is everything ok- Onii-chan your all wet!" she shouted in surprise looking at her drenched older brother coughing his lungs out. She glared at the rest and gave them the coldest stare she could muster.
"Get towels from the bath room and a warm blanket and bring onii-chan downstairs to the couch Im gonna go get some water to help his cough." She stated giving them one last hard stare before running downstairs preparing everything for her sick older brother.
Kanji and Yosuke helped their coughing leader out of the drenched futon while Teddy looked for some pajamas from the drawers. Naoto got towels and quickly handed it to the boys while Rise and Yukiko looked for blankets. Chie went downstairs to help Nanako prepare the couch for Souji.
"Sensei! I'm so so sorry!" Teddy cried offering his spare sweats as a peace offering to the wet shivering teen. He just nodded coughing occasionally trying to gain his bearing since everything seemed to be spinning. After Souji changed Kanji and Yosuke helped him down the stairs and brought the dizzy teen to the couch. Chie frowned as she gave Souji a glass of water to help his coughing and draped him in a warm blanket to ease his shivering.
"Thanks" he whispered setting the glass on the table and lying on the bed with a groan. He could feel his head pound harder and he knew his fever spiked a few degrees after the whole ordeal. He felt a hand touch his forehead and he sighed feeling the coolness of the hand comfort him.
"His fever rose" Yukiko announced frowning gesturing for the wet rag and placed it on Souji's forehead.
The team glanced at each other and sat at different locations in the living room peering at their sick leader. He looked worse than last time, his breathing was laboured, they could see a prominent tinge of pink on his cheeks due to his fever and he was wracked with chills even though he's sweating.
"Lets let sempai rest guys" Rise said as he went over to the silver haired boy stroking his hair as he drifted off to sleep. Everyone else nodded and sighed thinking the same thing. Why won't he let them help him?
