Tako Time

Chapter 10: Cold (2)

Your heater was broken. Again. Usually you wouldn't need your heater in the middle of September but the cold was hanging around this year. Anyway, without a heater, you were cold. This was a perfect excuse to visit Ina.

'Wah! What's up, Y/N?'

'My heater broke again so I was wondering if I could hang out at your place until I can be bothered to do something about it.'

'I don't mind hanging out but I've got a stream in half an hour. We won't be able to hang out while I'm streaming so you'll have to do something else.'

'That's fine. I just really need warmth right now. I'll be there ina bit.'

As soon as Ina opened her door, she stepped forward and hugged you. You hugged her back, despite being caught off guard. 'What are you doing?'

'I'm warming you up.'

You chuckled. 'You might be more successful inside where the heater is.'

'Maybe.' You barely saw the slight blush on Ina's face as she spun around, pulling you inside.

Several hours later, you were lying on the couch in Ina's living room. She was still streaming and, as entertaining as watching her stream was, you decided to tease her a bit. 'Hi chat, Y/N here,' you wrote in chat. This caused an explosion of S/N and greetings.

'Hey, Y/N. Have you warmed up yet?'

'Yeah, I have.' Chat was confused so you decided to clarify. You walked into Ina's room, leaned over her shoulder and whispered, 'I'm here with Ina right now because my heater broke so I'm leaching off her,' into the microphone.

After receiving a playful slap on the arm from Ina, you pulled up a chair and stayed until the end of the stream.

'You know, it's really comfy here.' You and Ina were still sitting at her desk, a blanket wrapped around both of you. At some point, Ina let her head rest on your shoulder.

'Mm. I could fall asleep if I stay like this any longer.' Not wanting to have to disturb future sleeping Ina, you stood up and left the room taking the blanket with you. This caused Ina to follow you.

The couch was a good enough spot to fall asleep, based on your reasoning, so you put the blanket there. You laughed as Ina jumped under the warm blanket, wiggling her flaps.

You ended up sleeping over at Ina's house. This was all fun and games until you woke and realised that Ina was sick. Not being used to helping sick people, you had no idea what to do. Luckily for you, Ina was able to give you directions for the medicine cabinet.

Unfortunately, Ina's condition deteriorated rapidly within a few hours. You were sitting next to her bed when you saw her face pale. Knowing what this means, as it happened to you, you carried Ina to the bathroom. She threw up several times while you rubbed her back. It wasn't a pleasant experience for either of you so you were glad to be helping Ina back to her room.

Ina had fallen asleep pretty quickly after you had put her back in bed. Just as you were about to leave Ina so she could sleep uninterrupted, something started tugging on your shirt. You turned to see that Ina was the something tugging on your shirt. 'What's up?'

'Hug,' was all she said.

'Alright,' you chuckled as you sat next to Ina on her bed. She let herself fall against you as you wrapped your arms around her.

'Thanks.'

Ina was feeling well enough to eat something by late afternoon. Thinking that something warm would be a good idea, you made her some of your perfect ramen. You knew Ina was going to make a mess so you slid a plate under the bowl before returning to help the priestess get to her ramen.

Carefully, Ina stood up with one arm around you. 'Whoa,' she said as she almost fell back onto the bed. 'Ok, now food!' Ina was still pretty cute despite being sick.

The ramen did not last long. Neither did Ina. She fell asleep shortly after finishing her ramen so you had to carry her back to her room again. You didn't mind having to do all of this because you wanted your girlfriend to get better quickly.

'Good night,' you whispered as you drapedseveral blankets over Ina.
