Sick Days - Misaki x Usagi (Junjou Romantica)

- Misaki's POV -

My eyes slowly fluttered open, the cold air of the morning slamming into me like a wall. My face burned like a fire, but the rest of my body tingled, as frost nipped at my flesh.

My first and primal instinct was to bury myself even deeper into the being next to me ; who happened to be my lover, Usagi. Once again, the night before, Usagi-san had decided to use me as a cuddle toy instead of his bear.

It's not like I had much say in the manor, once he's set his mind, there is no changing it.

However, at the moment, it benefited me more than it didn't. In his sleep, his arms wrapped around my torso and shoulder, bringing me closer to him and suffocating me in warmth. I stiffed the moment his hand squeezed me tightly, but slowly allowed myself to sink into his hold.

As satisfying as it was to have the rest of my body tingling from the coziness of his hugs, my face still burned, enough to a point where I let out a shaky, hot breath of discomfort.

Apparently, that's all it took to wake up Usagi, because I felt his arms tense around me and he slowly pulled back, his back beginning to rise out of bed. Instead of the usual kick I had in the morning, I just sunk further into the covers, the thought of joining the outside world almost sickening me.

"Misaki...?" I heard Usagi whisper softly, and at first, my brain flashed with panic. He was never in no good mood when he just woke up, and at the moment, I was in no condition - physically or mentally - to deal with him in his grumpy stage.

However, after a few dead silent moments passed, I felt a shifting in the bed, and a loud squeaking noise that filled the room. Half of a second later, fingers curved into my hair, tousling it about and patting my head.

"Misaki," Usagi said, his deep voice filled with once in a life time anger. "you feel hot."

I let out a grunt of frustration, ignoring his words as I reached down and gripped the blanket in my fingers. With a quick motion, I laid it over my head, shutting out the rest of the world.

Under the warmth the pillow, however, I just grew more and more uncomfortable, so I enventually tugged it off my head, only to meet eyes with Usagi towering over me, his arms around to scoop me up.

"Usa-" was all I could get out before he lifted me up, one arm on my shoulder, and the other supporting my legs. Normally, I would slam my fists against his back, kick and whine until he out me down (which he never did anyways). But now, I was way too tired to do so, my arms trembling as I let out a horse cough.

Both of our bodies bobbed up and down as he walked down the stairs, holding onto the railing, just so he wouldn't fall and crush both of us. The second we got to the bottom of the stairs, he hurried over to the couch and set me down.

Right over the couch is the light, and as it burned down and right into my eyes, I let out a moan of discomfort and raised my arm to block out the rays.

A few minutes passed, me laying there with my arm raised to protect my sensitive eyes from the bright light, before there was grunt next to me. I heard the loud screeching of the couch as Usagi sat down, wedging his hand under my back and pulling me up into the sitting position.

The second I was upright, he held up a small water bottle to me, and dumped two identacle pills into my sweaty palm. I let out an angry grunt, but quickly rose the pills to my lips and popped one in.

It didn't take long to swallow both of them, and as soon as they both made their ways into my stomach, I felt Usagi wrap his arms around my waist and pull me closer to him. As much as I wanted to refuse his arms and pull away, his grip was made of steal, and I didn't have enough energy to fight against him.

So I slowly laid my head on his shoulder, letting out an uncontrollable sigh of comfort as his arms gave my torso a gentle squeeze and his fingers began rubbing soft circles on my back.

"You still feel hot," he said, his deep voice rumbling. "The medicine will kick in in about five minutes, but until then-" without warning, he lifted me up a little bit, making me squeak. Moments later, I was placed in the mans lap, his legs crossed so I could be comfortable, and one of his arms supporting my back.

Letting out another deep breath, I laid my head once his shoulder once more, shifting until I was comfortable and my hand was pressed against the other mans heart.

BU-BUMP

BU-BUMP

"Baka Usagi..." I mumbled softly under my breath, not speaking loudly because I was next to his ear, not because my eyes were beginning to dip closed. I heard Usagi's deep, rumbling laughter fill his chest, and his soft lips as he kissed my forehead and ruffled my hair in between his big hands.

"I can wait," he mumbled "to get my fill on Misaki."

And no matter how pissed off I was at him, no matter how much of a pervert he was, no matter how many times he did things that I absolutely couldn't stand, laying them, in his hold, while he pressed short kisses to my forehead and cradled my body...

I felt a smirk pulling at my lips.
