"I swear… You should keep still." I looked up at Haru as he rubbed his forehead with the back of his hand which was holding the syrup I dodged fluently. "You're 25, you can not be this stubborn over cough syrup." His voice claimed over exaggeration of exasperation.
"It tastes yucky!!!" I huffed, smiling some as he kneeled by the bed I had stayed in over the course of the past 3 days. 1 of them due to the heartbreak, 2 from the cold I wasn't cooperating to get rid of.
"It'll make you better." He argued. I swiftly turned my head from him in a pout. "You're hopeless." He said, sighing.
"I'm not hopeless, I just wa-" I glared at his grin as I drank the syrup he shoved in my mouth. "I hate you…" I grumbled, motioning for the water he had. He handed me the drink as he stood and left to put the stuff away. I hissed at the syrup and caught him rolling his eyes at my antics. Sipping on the water, I sighed. My nose was clogged, throat sore, and it sucked. Mainly because Haru kindly washed my bed sheets and I was dying to smell the clean fabric. Catching a glimpse of the perfume sitting on my dresser my eyes watered and my stuffy nose became unbearable. Placing my cup on the nightside, I chivvied my way under the blanket and turned onto my side away from the door. I knew I should get rid of it, yet it smelled nice. And at first, I would have never given it a second thought. Not once did my head go "Hey, you got this from your boyfriend!" But now that the cat was out of the bag, just a simple glance tore me up. The tears ran down the side of my face, my already burning eyes heating up as I started crying, unable to hide it from the illness I was facing.
"Oh (Y/n)..." I lifted the blanket over my head, trying to shush the guttural noises. Pretend you're sleeping. Not gonna work you just covered your head. Dammit- The bed dipped and I could feel Haru's hand slip under the blanket. He ran his hand through my hair and I started crying harder. "I hate him. Godammit, I hate him." His voice shook, hand tangling in my hair. I yelped, crying.
"Haru! Owwie!" I hissed. He removed his hand and I was turned around.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you. He just pisses me off. He doesn't care about others, (Y/n). And if I would have known sooner about their engagement…" My lip shook as I looked at how angry he was. "I would have never let him hurt the only one I care about…" He confessed, his voice quieting. "I'll never forgive him.." I felt uneasy and pulled the blanket up a little. I could feel him holding back, I could always feel it, but it was stronger than normal this time. I swallowed hard, finally realizing my tears had stopped flowing. I took in a deep breath, yawning. The action caused Haru to look at me with a slight pout. "I know my anger amuses you, but it also makes you tired?" He huffed, crossing his arms. "I don't have to be here, I'm missing work for you heathen." I gasped in mock offense at his choice of words, wrong move however, as I felt a sneeze coming. Grabbing a handful of the blanket to cover my mouth and nose, Haru was faster getting a Kleenex for me. Whining softly after the sharp sneeze, from me trying to prevent it, I looked up at Haru who was throwing away the snot rag and wiping his hand on his slacks.
"Ewwy… go homeeee. I don't want you sick." I complained. He shrugged in response, jabbing his thumb into his chest proudly.
"I won't get sick! Besides, I can make you a Kato special that will make you feel better. Now only if you would have told me sooner.." He grumbled towards the end, sighing as he put his hand to my forehead. "It feels like we've made progress with your fever though." His smile was bright, no matter how sleepy he looked. "I'm gonna go make food. Get some rest." I grabbed his hand, trying to find the words to say.
"Uh, Haru, are you okay?" His golden eyes stared at our clasped hands for a second before meeting my (e/c) ones.
"...Yeah. Absolutely, why?" His voice was broken in a notched up tone and I sighed.
"Nothing, nevermind." Letting his hand go, I rolled away from him, burying the blankets over me. I felt his hand smooth over my arm before the sounds of his quiet footsteps faded from my room. Being his friend for so long, you'd expect him to just be honest with me.. With that thought, my mind emptied and I faded to dreamless sleep.
"Come on sleeping beauty." Scrunching my nose, I lifted my hand in the direction of the voice in my ear. "Oi!" The startled yell as the tip of my finger touched something soft had me jolting, falling off my bed. I whined sleepily, looking up at Haru angrily as he held a hand to his mouth, red tinting his cheeks.
"Don't wake me up like that!" I hollered, puffing out my cheeks in embarrassment.
"I had said your name three times!" He rebutted. Pointing to the tray on the nightstand, Haru walked to my door. "I need some air." He muttered, leaving me sitting there pouting.
Haru's POV
My lip tingled in the one small spot and my face heated up more as I walked out onto the balcony outside of (Y/n)'s apartment. "She's such a clutz.. Goddammit, why'd she have to touch me?" I threaded my fingers in my hair, tugging in frustration. She was so cute too.. Her sleepy angry look. I smiled before knocking my palm into my forehead. "She's hurt though.. and it's all his fault!" I growled. I placed a finger on my lip, rubbing subconsciously. Maybe what I did was wrong. Maybe I should've confronted him alone, why'd (Y/n) even want me around? I ruined her happiness… Gazing up at the rising moon, I sighed. I had been here about 10 or so hours. And it was steadily drifting into the night. "She shouldn't have waited so long to call me!" My complaint went to the sky as I took in a deep breath. But maybe she waited because she didn't want to see me after all I did to her. Tapping my fingers idly, I wondered about what to do. I had been just watching TV and cleaning when she slept, but seeing how late it was, I realized the need to sleep. "I'll just tell her that I'll be by in the morning…" Pulling out my phone, I started typing out a text to my boss to inform them of my next day out.
"Haru, are you still out here?" I stopped, turning towards the shorter female as she was hunched in the doorway, her blanket draping her shoulders. A sickly look in her face had me holding back a look of disgust.
"Did you vomit?" I asked bluntly, surprised when the (h/c) girl launched herself into my mid section. "Hey! What's going on?"
"I was watching this video about people going missing suddenly and it was scary! I got so worried that you'd suddenly vanish." I could clearly hear her muffled voice and couldn't help but chuckle as I held her to me.
"I'm not gonna vanish. But why would you care if I did?" I asked quietly. A quiet 'huh?' left the girl and I cleared my throat. "It doesn't matter. I'm gonna head home for the night, okay?" I moved away from her enough to peer down at her face, which puffed out.
"No. You could get hurt or something on the way home." I raised a brow in retaliation.
"I'm a cop. I could get hurt everyday."
"Exactly!! I don't like your line of work. It's always danger this. Danger that. Think about the ones who want you safe!" Her outburst took me by surprise, my eyes widening a fraction before I laughed.
"You're sick, (Y/n) and it's making you think of stupid stuff." I reasoned, turning the sweet female around and nudging her back into her apartment. My heart palpitated as my hands clutched her shoulders gently. "I'll see you in the morning, okay?" I whispered, leaning down to her ear, doing anything I could to be as close to her, wanting something to calm my beating heart, hoping to heaven high she couldn't hear it.
"But Haru you ca-" I cut her off, pinching her shoulder.
"Don't worry about me. Get rest, okay? I'll sleep too." I couldn't fathom staying in her apartment for the night, I spent all day with her, and her sweet face as she slept, just closing my eyes filled me with her and her cute, stupid, sick face and I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep if I stayed. "Goodnight, (Y/n)." I ruffled her hair giving her the most reassuring smile I could before shutting her door behind her.
1558 words! So this is part 1!! I started a little on part 2, but I'm not really done yet. This is kinda supposed to be an alternate end to Rain, but can be seen as another stand-alone one shot that involves cheater Daisuke. Sorry, baby boy, I love you but you're the bad guy here.
And this amazing drawing is by the lovely Joshufangirl on Instagram! She's holding commissions right now! And it's not too expensive compared to others if I'm being honest. Please go follow her if you have Insta. It's of an OC and Haru lmao 💖🌸
