Model Idol Combi: so you had a sick day

[jitensha]

[ so the thing was, Makoto didn't get sick. It took a series of unfortunate events, a moment of stress-induced weakness, and doing the idiotically chivalrous thing of trying to make her way home in the pouring rain and likely spending too much time in soaked clothing, despite Kise's best efforts.

But the point was, Makoto didn't usually get sick, and when she did get sick, it had to be sick enough to buckle her knees and keep her under her covers with a fever that could warm cold palms in an instant. She'd tried to go to work, but hadn't made it further than her own doorway before she'd gotten too dizzy to stand without the aid of the frame and had been promptly ushered back to bed.

And of course, she hadn't wanted to worry Kise, but that had backfired and for some inexplicable reason, she felt worse than ever. She'd have to change the compress again, she thinks distantly, as she tries to push herself up on her elbows to give him a properly chastising look. At the very least, her parents were now out for one of her dad's races, but... ]

You... really didn't have to come.

[ what if she's contagious? It's bad enough that she feels awful and she's sweaty and her hair's a mess and her face is all red and this isn't very romantic at all-- ]

Don't argue. [ and she taps his nose when it's safe to move the glass away. ] I know I'm not the best at nursing, but I already decided I'd do my best, so it's okay. And I can leave the rest to your parents.

[He scrunches his nose up half-heartedly, more focused on doing another rendition of please please please stay you're a good nurse please.

Kise, she's already had a sleepless night stop being so needy.]

[jitensha]

D-don't look at me like that!

[ WITH YOUR PUPPY EYES. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[WHAT WAS THAT, TURN IT UP TO ELEVEN?

Okay no, he doesn't have enough energy to do that. But he does have enough to keep looking at her like that, despite Makoto telling him not to.]

[jitensha]

I've got a radio appearance this afternoon... there's no way I can miss it, you know! Even if I want to stay!

[ex_doubly406]

{Oh but he looks so sad... Don't you want to stay with him forever...

Alright alright, he can take a hint (more like an outright 'no') and he knocks it off.

He does want to know what radio station that is though, so could she please tell him before he decides to permanently damage his throat?]

[jitensha]

[ Wow, she's getting good at this. ]

I'll set your radio to the station before I go, okay? Is that fair? I'll even give a comment for you.

[ex_doubly406]

[Level up bonus?

But yes, he thinks that's pretty fair. Though he'd still like her to stay a little bit longer.]

[jitensha]

[ well, she's probably got another hour before his parents are awake. Enough time to fuss over him. ]

[ex_doubly406]

[Oh good, and it's probably even better that he ends up falling asleep again. Now she won't have to deal with him wrapping his arms around her waist in an effort to get her to stay even a minute longer.]

[jitensha]

[ luckily for them, Kise's parents aren't anything like Makoto's dad. Then again, it's just as lucky that he's sleeping when she leaves, because if he'd snagged her like that, even she would have had problems leaving.

She remembers to set the radio before she goes, so he can eventually hear her earnest "And it's a bad season for colds and the flu, so please do your best to stay healthy!" in between song segments and interviews. ]
