SailorStar9: This is Chapter 8 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?
Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny.
Chapter 8: Ami's Dizzy Fever Day
It's so hot. Ami squirmed underneath her covers, twitching with the discomfort of it. Why did it have to be so hot? So hot, so close... Her breath was starting to come in ragged pants, but she could not seem to inhale enough air. Ami could feel the temperature of her skin rising, until it seemed it would burn right off her body.
"It's morning already?" Ami sat up. "And it's raining." She pulled the curtains aside. "Guess I'll have to walk to school."
"You don't look well." Miwa remarked, Ami slumping on her desk.
"Just a little dizzy." Ami waved his concern off.
"You have a fever." Chiharu-sensei concluded, giving her favourite student a stern look.
"I'm fine." Ami assured.
"Perhaps a cold?" Chiharu-sensei guessed. "Kai, please escort Mizuno to the nurse's office."
Ignoring Ami protests, Kai carried the sick girl over to the infirmary.
"Let's see it." The nurse-in-charge instructed, the thermometer going off. "It's rather high." She looked at the digital imprint.
"Is it a cold after all?" Kai wondered.
"Fourth period is already over." The nurse added. "It will do you better to go home early and rest."
"But the poster…" Ami voiced.
"We will manage the poster somehow." Kai assured.
"It'll be alright." Miwa cut in. "I'm also in the group. I'm positive that it will be done today. Not buts." He cut off any protests. "I will submit it together with Kai. Right, Kai?"
"Right." Kai replied. "Just leave it to us. So, hurry home."
"Thank guys." Ami smiled.
"There are a lot of clouds." Kai mused, piggy-backing the unconscious Ami back to her house. "Check your temperature." He handed the thermometer to the sick girl. "How is it?" he asked, the thermometer going off.
"Here." Ami handed the digital thermometer to him.
"It's not going down at all." Kai declared. "To take medicine, you'll need to eat first. Hold on a bit." He exited the room.
"Thanks, that was great." Ami put down the spoon, Kai having brought in a bowl of broth and cold tablets.
"You've had enough?" the brunette asked.
"I'll eat some later." Ami nodded. "Just leave it here."
"I'll make some more later." Kai stated, having watch Ami swallow two pills.
"Kai?" Ami blinked, sitting up on her bed the next morning and spotting the sleeping brunette at her bedside.
"Morning." Kai greeted, yawning. "Are you alright now?"
"Yeah." Ami nodded. "Thanks for last night." She kissed his forehead.
"Don't mention it." Kai muttered, blushing.
