A brief silence enveloped them, until the young man stood up
<<As I was saying, I'm going to make you some lunch while you cop some more Z's; I'll call you when it's ready>>
<<Mh... Can I hire you as a full-time butler?>>
Daiki snorted
<<It's just because you're unwell, Y/N, and I feel bad for waking you so rudely>>
<<You ought to feel bad about my bookshelf too, it's about the tenth time you attack it...>> Again, he flinched, looking like a kid caught red-handed. The sight made her giggle.
He took a few steps backwards, heading toward the door <<Right. Well, I'm gonna... I will...>>
<<Yeah... Thank you>>
<<No problem. Sleep well>>
The door was closed while Y/N nuzzled against the mattress, tucking the covers even tighter around her body.
Yes, a wonderful friendship indeed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About half an hour later, a delicate knock came from the other side of the bedroom's door, and Y/ N almost laughed at the irony. Daiki came in, carrying a tray laden with plates that smelled incredibly good even through her clogged nose. What was that heavenly scent? It seemed
<<I made you y/f/f; your favourite>>
As if summoned by a celestial song, the young girl immediately sat up straight and propped her back against the pillows, taking the tray from her friend with a huge smile
<<Thank you, nurse!>>
Daiki's cheeks flushed
<<I'm not a nurse>>
Y/N based at him through a mouthful of her meal, covering her mouth with a hand <<Buf ya'd mafe a wnfeful noos!>> (But you'd make a wonderful nurse!)
It seemed like Y/N's visitor had had enough with her mockery, because he decided to turn the game around
<<Really, Y/N? I'm sure you'd like to see me in one of those skimpy nurse dresses, am I right?>> It was her turn to blush; her cheeks turned the colour of ripe cherries and she looked away.
I can't believe he actually said that
Her y/e/c gaze was intensely concentrated on the contents of her tray; when she noticed the daisy he'd put there, she felt her blush darken.
Hopefully, he would chalk it up to her running fever.
She ate in silence, too embarrassed to say anything; in the meantime he closed the window and turned on the lights. When she was done with the first plate, she turned to the bowl that was beside it
<<Soup? You made me Soup?>>
<<It's broth, actually>> Daiki specified, sitting beside her on her bed <<Potato, potahto. I don't like soup>>
<<It's broth, Y/N, and you have to eat it>>
The girl pouted, shaking her head
<<No>>
<<Y/N...>>
<<I want ice cream>>
<<You're not having ice cream for dinner just because you're sick>> <<But I want it! My throat hurts!>>
<<Y/N...>>
<<No>>
<<Come on.. For me? I made it for you>>
When she turned to look him in the eyes, Y/N was certain that she blushed so hard he would be alarmed: those cute puppy eyes were staring at her, telling her to do what he said.
Her stomach fluttered, but she was aware it was not a stomachache or anything of the sort; it was something much, much more dangerous than that
Fuck
<<Y/N?>>
Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and she turned away. With a huff (that was actually just an attempt at breathing through her nose gone bad which she disguised as a huff) she grabbed the spoon and skimmed it through the orange-coloured liquid before taking a sip
<<Is it ok?>>
Y/N nodded. Daiki smiled
<<Good. Do you want to watch a movie while you eat it?>>
<<Yes>>
<<What would you like?>>
<<Y/f/m>>
Daiki laughed, shaking his head in amusement
<<You must have seen that thing over a thousand times now, and yet you want to watch it again...>>
<<Fetch it for me, slave! And bring the laptop too!>>
The young man laughed once more, so much that his eyes crinkled and Y/N swore she could see a tear
<<Aye, mistress>>
While he walked out, Y/N blushed again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The evening ended with Y/N playing basketball with her tissues and the bin, keeping a mental score of how many times she scored a basket. Halfway through the movie Daiki had fallen asleep, and Y/N smiled to herself as she saw how adorable he looked; she even went as far as to lend him one of her blankets, no matter that it would disrupt her armour.
She twirled the daisy in her hands, biting her lip to refrain from grinning like an idiot
Perhaps being sick is not so bad after all
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Extra part (😉)
<<C'mon Daiki, you have to eat something...>> Y/N entreated, holding a bowl of stock in her hands.
She had finally healed from her cold, and she felt a lot better. The same couldn't be said for Daiki...
Oh the irony of turning tables
Her friend shook his head weakly with a whine <<Too... weak... to... hold... bowl...>> <<Fine, I'll feed you>>
<<Thank you, nurse Y/N>>
The girl snorted, but she was smiling.
<<Hey, Y/N?>>
<<No, Daiki, I won't wear a skimpy nurse dress for you>>
<<Dammit>>
