Plot: Akaashi is feeling under the weather and Melody is there to comfort him.

"Hey Akaashi? Are you home?" I open the door to our shared apartment. "Hey you here?"

Akaashi and I were the best of friends ever since elementary. Our parents were close with one another hence why we are as close as we are right now. We go to the same college unexpectedly, which is why our parents told us to share apartments to save money.

"Hey answer me if you-" I step on something warm in the darkness of the living room. I stiffen and feel for the light switch without moving an inch.

"AAAAAA!!!" I scream and noticed that stepped on a seemingly dead body. That is until I notice that it was Akaashi. "Akaashi what are you doing on the floor??" I grab his arm but it felt unusually hot.

Our door bell rang and a neighbour came to check up on us. I apologized profusely explaining that I stepped on a cockroach and she heads back. I sigh and put my bag down on the couch. I kneel at his side assessing the situation.

"Hey you good?" I poke his cheek.

"Ughhhh..." He finally opens his eyes and looks at me weakly. "Oh your home." He noticed that he was lying on the floor.

"I think you passed out." I help him up. "Sit on the couch. I'll take your temperature."

He merely nods and almost limps towards the couch. Immediately he slumps and closes his eyes almost falling asleep.

I take out the thermometer and place it under his arms.

"Stay there. Did you eat yet?" He shakes his head. "I'll make you something to eat."

I whip up a quick and simple porridge and hand it to him, but he was staring into space with his eyes slowly opening and closing.

He's kinda cute.

I chuckle and sat down beside him.

"Here." I take a spoonful and blow in it to slightly cool it down. "Open your mouth."

He does exactly as I say and swallows the food. His eyes seem to brighten ever so slightly. I check his temperature which was a whopping 39.4 °C. I feed him until he finishes his meal.

He slumps on the sofa about to pass out but I poke him awake.

"Shower first before you fall asleep." I stare at him since he didn't give a reply. "C'mon."

I hoist him up which took all of my effort. I sat him down on a chair first and began to run hot water to fill the tub.

"I'll take off your clothes okay?" He again nods weakly as I take off his shirt. I hesitated with his bottoms, but I just closed my eyes and pulled it down.

Trying not to look down I carry him to the tub and try my best to wash his upper half.

"Wash yourself down there then call me when your dressed okay?"

I leave the bathroom to let him do his thing and fix somethings out in the living room. He called me back and he was dressed but his hair was still dripping wet.

"Dry your hair properly!" I scold. "Sit."

He sits on the chair and I use my hair dryer on him. I ruffle his hair making sure it was completely dry and head on his room. I lay him down on his bed and put a cold towel on his head.

"Want me to sleep here?"

"Mmm.."

"Okay hold on." I hurry back to my room and freshen up. I grab some medicine for his fever on the way and a glass of water. "Akaashi..." I nudge him a little bit.

He sits up and I support his back. He obediently swallows the pill but doesn't lie back down.

"I wanna lie on your lap." He murmurs softly.

"Like we did when we were kids?" I chuckle as his sudden childish behaviour. "I'll humor you this time."

I get in beside his bed and lean on the backboard. Patting my lap, I offer him to lie on it. He immediately complies and crashed almost immediately. His breathing stablized and he drifted into a deep sleep.

I stare at his sleeping face and pet his hair trying to soothe him further. In my other hand, I held my phone and answered some emails I recieved from my part time job as well as some from my college group mates.

I didn't even notice how much time has passed when I see the sun rise from the side window. Akaashi begins to stir in his sleep but kept his eyes closed.

I once again humor the sick man and let him sleep a bit longer. Fatigue began to hit me a few minutes after.

"Akaashiii." I slowly shake him awake. "It's time to wake up."

"Mmmm..." He slowly opens his eyes and slowly shock painted his face. "M-Melody?"

"Don't worry nothing nasty happened." I pat his shoulder. "You had a high fever so I took care of you."

"Fever?" He checks his temperature. "Ah... I remember passing out, but everything after was blurry."

"I almost saw your d-" I don't continue my sentence and leave him hanging.

"Hey finish that sentence." He glares at me. "Hey!" I walk away sprinting towards my room.

"Go away! I have to get to class." I ignore the fatigue and get ready for class.

-Time skip-

"Ughhh...I'm tired." I curse myself. I shouldn't have did that all-nighter, because taking care of that guy.

"You're home." Akaashi greets me as I enter the living room. "Sit for a while I'll make dinner."

I don't even argue and plop on the couch and play the TV for some background noise. He asks about my day and I complain about my group mates. He was telling something about telling my professor but I already fell asleep on the couch.

When Akaashi didn't hear a response, he looked behind and saw her sleeping form.

"She's so careless." He sighs and turns off the stove and the TV.

He easily lifts her up, making sure not to wake her, and placed her on her bed. Making sure she's tucked in well, he slightly hesitates but he decided to pushed her hair out of the way and kissed her forehead.

"Akaashi..." She murmured in her sleep.

"Rest well." He closed the lights and the door to her room.
