Tezuka coughed into the bent of his elbow and heaved a deep sigh. He leaned on his elbow and pushed his body forward, reaching for the glass of water by the nightstand. His body shook once more when he coughed, spilling some water on the carpet underneath.
Tezuka had caught a bad cold for 2 days now and it seems that his sickness wasn't going better. Tezuka felt sluggish and dizzy all the time, feeling the urge to cough and puke what he ate, hence, there was a bucket nearby in case he needed it.
He rested his hand on his forehead, feeling the heat and inwardly wondered just how long he had to be under the weather. Due to his cold, he had missed work and stayed in the bed most of the times sleeping and resting. His appetite also descreased significantly and he would barely eat anything despite understanding that getting nutrients is very important for him now.
Tezuka shifted his sleeping position due to the fact that sleeping laying on the back feels like he had dropped into some dark space, sinking deeper and deeper. Overall, that position made him feel terrible and he felt bile rising up instantly. Tezuka swallowed his saliva several times, trying to stop that sick feeling.
He faintly caught the sound of the door creaking and opened on eyelid slowly. He saw a blurry image of two individuals... Syusuke?... And is that... Ryoma?
"W-what," his voice croacked, "What are you two doing here?... Syusuke, you know Ryoma shouldn't be around me at this moment. What if he caught my cold?" Tezuka furrowed his eyebrows, feeling very worried for the two's health.
"I know, but Ryoma desperately wishes to see you, so I had no choice. And believe me, it wasn't easy to persuade me to risk getting him sick too but all the crying and tantrum was just too much." Fuji responded and when he noticed that Tezuka was about to sit up, as if knowing what he want to say, Fuji continued, "But don't worry, we two will only stay here and keep a distance, okay?"
Tezuka nodded and lay back down, closing his eyes wanting to go back to sleep. However, he was interrupted when he heard a conversation. He opened his eyes and saw Ryoma frowning and talking to Fuji in a best way he can to convey his message.
"Da... no well. Da eat..."
"Saa, our baby is so smart! Yeah, daddy needs to eat or else he won't get better right?" Fuji clarified and received an ethusiastic nod.
"Da hungwy. Need ice cweam!" Ryoma puffed and rubbed his stomach, pointing toward Tezuka.
Fuji chuckled, "Daddy shouldn't eat ice cream now, he's sick remember? He'll eat it once he's better."
Tezuka sighed inwardly. Even a baby is worried for him, he really needs to get better soon. And soon he drifted to sleep.
After few minutes of silence, Ryoma asked, "Da bettew?"
Fuji bounced Ryoma up and down on his lap as a response, "Saa, not yet. Let's go out now okay? Daddy needs to sleep."
Ryoma nodded and as Fuji carried him out, Ryoma turned around and waved his hand towards Tezuka.
