Dusk

Misaki POV
To- Tora! I meant that temperature wise! I think you may have a fever. I say while my face is as red as a tomato.

"Misaki?" He struggled to say in between pants, "I.. I.. lo-" his eyes widen for a split second and then continues, "can you stay? It's better for your wounds.. and I.. I could use your company while I'm not feeling well."

Should I? He did take care for me and.. I guess it wouldn't be justified to leave at the time that he gets sick. That's like abandoning him or worse, like I'm using him. Damn. How did I get into this situation?!

Of course, now I think you should drink some medicine before sleeping.. okay?

"Feed it to me?" He says in a daze, being completely cute.

Where can I get some? I hope he has some in his room somewhere.

"Brown cabinet, bathroom." He's getting drowsy.

I better hurry up! I groan. I never imagined that one day I'll be taking care of Igarashi here. *sigh* okay, I need to be mature!

Can you let go of me so I can grab some medicine for you? He better does! I doubt that his medicine will magically fly to him because he's sick.

Why am I being nice, you ask?Well, it's really hard not to be nice.. It's my first time to see him this.. this defenseless.

"Promise to come back?" What kind of question is that?!

Well, I would feed the medicine to you, remember?

"No.. To my embrace?" He says as he looks down covering his eyes.

Uh.. is that really necessary? I don't have any commitments anymore so it wouldn't be going against anyone.. But, I still don't know.. Even though its like we hug every night already.

Raising his chin he says, ."Yeah? You want me to feel better don't you?" Great! Mr. I'm-the-most-important-person-in-the-world is back, though he still looks very sick.

Fine, fine I say in exasperation. Now sit tight and wait for me here.

He reluctantly freed me from his arms and laid on his side facing the bathroom. Cautiously I walk to the bathroom, with care so i can heal quickly.

Standing on the middle of the bathroom, I easily spot the said cabinet and pull out some medicine to fix up his fever. While reading the label I trudge to the door and unconsciously slip on a little puddle of water, good thing I reached for the counter just in time.

*sigh* I can't believe that I'm actually missing being carried by that guy. What the hell! I didn't mean to think that! Ugh!

Preparing his medicine and grabbing a glass of water from a cabinet top he had there; I carefully walk to him and lay the glass at his bed side table. Looking at his face I feel a vein pop.

How dare you sleep on me! I told you to wait, I silently hiss in my Demon mode.

*sigh* he is sick.. Hey, Tora. *nudge* *nudge* I got your meds *nudge*
He sleepily opens one eye and begrudgingly sits up.
He stared at me while I hand him the medicine then the glass.

Something wrong? Was there something on my face?!

"No, nothing." Hmm.. Odd.

I close the lights then climb in the bed with him. Resting on my side of the bed.

Tora POV
She lays down and I feel a vein twitch in my forehead even though I feel a bit dizzy and badly needing of rest.

How can she forget my request?! I silently murmur.

Forgetting something? I finally ask after fighting sleepiness. I just don't want to sleep so far from her. It won't we as comforting as having close proximity.
She turns to face me then asks,

"Am I? Is there something you need before sleeping?" she asks genuinely puzzled.

Yes, in fact I told you earlier. I say arrogantly, then I notice her racking her brain to what it could be.

*cough* I asked you to come back in my embrace but then you went there. I hiss the last word with venom.

Realization dawned on her and she finally remembers. "Oooh, yeah."

I guess she is a bit used to it since I found my way to do it every night so far. Good thing I did that because she doesn't fight me and slowly scoots over to me. I happily engulf her in my embrace then whisper Good night Misaki, on her forehead.
She replies in the same fashion then I drift off to slumber.

Misaki POV I wake up in the middle of the night and stare and Igarashi's sleeping face until I'm certain that it will forever be etched in my memory. Why I did that? I have no idea. Maybe sleepiness is getting to me, maybe I just feel grateful that I'm not thinking about my break up with Usui, maybe because he keeps me busy with activities...

I really don't know, I realize while slowly widening my eyes. That's such a foreign thought to me..

After about 3 more minutes of musing about my actions sleep meets me again.

I feel Igarashi stir so I wake up accordingly. I see that it is already morning by looking at the tiny ajar space of the two curtains. It is so little that light doesn't even travel further in the room. Looking back to Tora I notice that he is slowly opening his eyes. He sees me awake and murmurs, Good morning Misaki with a slight smile.

Good morning to you too, I reply while stifling a yawn, are you feeling better?He seems better but still not as tip top shape.

"I feel much better knowing that you worry" he says with a slightly forced smirk.

I'm serious Tora. I say whilst glaring at him. I guess he sees my concern and seriousness because he sobers up.

"*sigh* Okay, fine. I've had better days than this but I was feeling a lot worse yesterday."

Uhm.. Okay. So I guess you're staying in bed today? A busy day wouldn't really help you heal.That would be best, I'm not really sure that his pride will take me carrying him lightly.

"What do you mean -you're-?!" He asks with an evident frown on his face. That's the only thing that he will comment about? Good grief, I mentally slap my forehead.

I slowly sit up and start my explanation. I have work again, also I feel like I have overstayed my welcome. Doubting that I would like his expression, I avoid his gaze and comb my fingers through my wild brunette locks that is now reaching an inch past the small of my back.

"I'll deal with your job, I clearly do doubt that you'll be able to run around carrying a tray full of food while sporting a bright smile." He says flippantly with an annoyed expression.

"Also don't you dare say that you overstayed your welcome ever again! You can be here everyday, every hour, every second of your life and it will be fine, okay?"(1) He shouted but his tone did gradually soften throughout the end. Can you doubt the sincerity of that?

I stare at him wide eyed while gaping...
Are you out of your mind?! That's nice of you and all but when your father sees me I'll probably be chased out by dogs and hunted by the military! Is he really this crazy?! I muse whilst panting because of my outburst.

"Haahahah!" He starts laughing non-stop and I spot tears slowly forming out of his eyes.

"Hahaah!"

What the hell is so funny?

"hahhaha"

Hey? Did I do something to laugh about?

"hahahaha"

Hey?! Isn't he going to say anything else?

"Hahahahaah!" I guess this confirms my suspicion? I sweat drop and face-palm.

After 5 minutes of trying and failing to calm him down.

He finally calms down them faces me with a serious expression.

"Remember that I meant every word I said, I don't care what that old man says. Heck! Even Kevin won't let that happen. Don't ever forget that I'll do anything, and I mean anything to spend time with you. Got it?" He spoke calmly but filled with emotion.

Yeah... I look at him dumbfounded. Did Igarashi hit his head last night?
