Eyes widened, and the numbers read 39.9°C. That was bad. It was basically 40 degrees Celsius and anything above that was a reason for the doctor to be called. Something that you didn't want to happen.

"Don't hide the thermometer from me!" Karma threatened in a teasing manner, you knowing the consequences of doing so. But it was a good consequence, so you didn't mind one bit.

Karma lightly traces his fingertips over stray strands of sweat-damp hair as he looks at you with a knowing look.

You frantically shake your head and turn away from the boy, who sighs.

He forcefully turns you around, using both hands to cup your soft cheeks. He nuzzled his nose against yours before peppering your face with kisses while you just sat there giggling.

You gave into Karma's kisses and handed him the thermometer, his eyes slightly widened.

"Your mum is going to kill me."

You frown at Karma's distressed state.

"Sorry, if I hadn't thrown water at you this wouldn't have happened…" you trail off

"Don't sweat it, your not a burden and I don't mind taking care of you. I think the soup's ready anyways." He rose from the sofa, bringing back a bowl of hot, delicious soup to cure your temporary illness.

After a few sips, you felt bile rise up your throat, and you swallow it back down out of reflex.

Taking the hint from your body, you pushed the bowl away softly before sprinting towards the nearest bathroom. Karma followed you with his eyes before setting the bowl on the table and rushing towards you to make sure everything was okay.

He opened the door and was met with you hurtling your guts out. Shifting closer to you, the boy held your hair away from your face and comfortingly rubbed circles on your back.

He saw tears prick at the corners of your eyes, his face shifted into one of deep worry for his partner.

He helped you clean up and since you had drank a reasonable about of soup, he gave you some ibuprofen and carried your bridal style to your room.

He softly pushed your head to lean on his firm chest while the medicine slowly kicked in. Karma used his foot to open the door to your room and carefully set your drowsy figure on the comfortable bed you owned.

He put you down on the bed, the mattress sinking with your weight. By now you were already asleep, but not fully.

The boy you were dating went back downstairs to collect a wet towel to place over your head.

"My head hurts…" you stated the obvious, using all your strength left to push yourself up into a sitting position as you wait for Karma.

You yawned, clearly tired. And at that exact moment, Karma walked in with the wet towel.

"Was that a yawn?" He teasingly smiled at you as you rolled your eyes.

"How are you feeling?" He asked, carefully adjusting you into a comfortable lying down position so that you go fall asleep.

"My head hurts . . ." You were about to fall asleep so all your words we mumbled, causing the boy to laugh.

"What's so funny?" You muttered, Karma shaking his head with a loving smile on his face.

"You're cute when you're half asleep, that's all…" he responded.

He places soft kisses on your cheeks and the tip of your nose as he gets under the covers with you.

"Get some rest okay?" You hummed in response before finally closing your eyes.

"Goodnight, (nickname), sweet dreams."

Around 4 hours later, you woke up to the noises of a controller being played with and familiar voices coming from your room.

Fortunately, your fever had gone down, but you still had a cold. Whilst you were asleep, Karma made sure to check your temperature, which had fallen to 38.2. May not be a significant difference between the previous number and the current one, but it was progressing.

"Nagisa! Behind you!" Karma exclaimed, his voice slightly rising with each sentence.

Karma heard shuffling and knew it was you moving around. You had done this multiple times when you were asleep, so he didn't bother to check whether you were awake.

You opened your mouth, and let out a tiny cough, making Karma turn around. He told Nagisa and the rest of his friends that he was coming back in a bit before placing the controller down.

He scooted closer to you and laid down, gently pushing your head down onto his chest as his legs entangled with yours.

"Sorry for waking you up, baby, go back to sleep okay?" Karma placed a kiss on your forehead.

He held you close to help you get back to sleep as ahead ran his slender fingers through your (h/l) (h/c) hair.

"Don't let go…" you mumbled, Karma having the sudden urge to pepper more kisses across your face for that simple sentence.

"I'm not going anywhere, I promise. Let me tell the boys that I have to go. Okay?" You nodded and watched as Karma put the headset on and told the others that he needed to go.

Maehara, Nagisa and some random people all agreed to play with him another time before he logged off completely and shut off the ps5/xbox.

"Why don't we take a nap together? We can be nap buddies." Your eyes lit up at that idea.

"Yes please!" The boy interlocked his fingers with yours using his free hand, mumbling a sentence that made today 100x better.

"I love you (name), more than anything else on this planet." You hugged him tighter.

"I love you too and will forever do so." At that, the two of you finally fell asleep.
