For the Sake of Love ✔

- Chapter 13 -

Thankfully, nothing bad happened.
I parked his baby back onto his place, careful as fuck before locking the garage.

I walked back into his house and all the way up to the stairs before opening his bedroom's door. He looked up at me briefly from the bowl, before shoving his face back into it. I winched at the gagging sound, my stomach turning wildly as I feel myself getting nausea as well.

I left him to the bathroom, grabbing a fresh washcloth and a bowl of freshwater. He was done when I walked back in and (thankfully) the bowl was nowhere in sight. He laid back on the bed, looking sick as ever.

"I bought blueberries, blackberries, and cranberries. Is that okay?"

"Yeah..."

"Do you- do you want anything else?"

"No, just feed me,"

"O- okay..." I sat beside him and slowly feed him the berries.

"How's my car?"

"It's fine, safe and sound and parked back into its place."

"Good,"

"Take the med after this, yeah? It'll help you,"

"I don't like meds."

"No one does, but you have to,"

I left Luke to go downstairs and clear his mess once he was fast asleep. I washed the dished and dried them before putting them back into their places. I also manage to clean the bucket of puke and though I threw up a couple of times, it was worth it. I walked back upstairs and see Luke still fast asleep. He looked so torn and pained and it worries me because I've never seen him like this before.

I pressed my palm onto his forehead, winching again at the burn. The medicine still hasn't worked? Or was it the fever that is too bad?

His blue eyes fluttered open slowly and I retract my hand instantly.

"Sorry, didn't mean to wake you up,"

"You're still here?"

"Eh, uh, yeah..."

"Why did you do these all?"

"Hm? What do you mean?"

"You want something, don't you?"

"What? No, I don't. What are you talking about? I did this all because I want to, there's nothing else besides that!"

"Liar!" He said, back into his usual monotone voice. There come the bastard.

"Asshole"

"I was right, wasn't I?"

"No, but so what if you were? Most people love being taken care off, so what?"

"I don't,"

"You do, you just don't want to admit it, but whatever."

"I'm not a baby,"

"Sure, whatever you wanna say, blondie. Drink gallons of water and eat! I left the soup downstairs and your fruits are in the fridge. The med on your nightstand so don't forget them too."

"Where are you going?"

"It's kinda late, I need to head back, Bye, Luke."

"... Stay,"

"Ehhh?"

"Did I stutter?"

"N- no, but are you sure?"

"Hm,"

"O- okay... I'll be on the couch then,"

"Walk to my closet and go change,"
