By Your Side // Aizawa Shota X Reader

57

The moment you woke up, you could immediately tell that something was not right.
But you couldn't really make out what it was and so you looked at your clock.
"I should freshen up and get ready for school." you mumbled to yourself and got off your bed.
Just as you moved, you felt that your body was aching and it was as if you had no energy, so it was hard for you to move as you dragged your body around since it felt really heavy.

After half an hour of preparing, you were finally finished and opened your door, stepping out of your room. You felt groggy and dizzy when you walked down the corridor and at some point, your body just gave in and fell to the floor.
You didn't know for how long you laid there but you could faintly remember that someone appeared before everything went black.

You blinked open your eyes and found yourself in your room.
"What happened?"
Just as you wanted to remember the previous events, your head began to ache, so you moved a hand up in order to hold your head.
That was when you felt something on your forehead. By the feeling of it, you could tell that there was a cooling pad placed on it.
Slowly but surely, the memories came back to you and just as you attempted to leave your bed once again, you got held back.
A man was coming at you while he suggested, "You shouldn't move yet." It was no one other than Shota and when he reached your bed, he observed your face before he continued to say, "Where you planning to go to school?"
You were utterly confused when he asked you this question and a little bewildered, you answered him with a, "Yes of course I did."

The sigh he let out made you more confused. A heavy headache overcame you and you held your head with both your hands while letting out a small whimper.
Shota laid a hand on your shoulder and placed the other one behind your back, forcing you to lay down by gently pushing you backwards.
Without resisting, you let him do it and Shota pulled the sheet up to your chin.
Then he informed you, "It's the weekend. Were you seriously going to go to school on the weekend?"
You only answered by crawling down under your bedsheet, covering half your face with it, a little embarrassed.

"We should check your temperature." Shota's soft, deep voice sounded to relaxing that you were about to fall asleep any time even though you had just woken up.
After he had checked your temperature you could see a slight frown on his forehead, so you asked him, "How bad is it?"
"We could roast fried eggs on your forehead." he said, making you chuckle a little bit but you let a sigh escape your lips right after.
"It's 40°C (104°F). You should stay in bed and sleep the cold away." His hand brushed your cheek. It felt so good on your heated skin, that you unconsciously grabbed his hand to keep it there. You nuzzled your face into his hand and closed your eyes, relishing his cold hand touch your skin, making it feel like he was cooling you down.
And slowly, you fell asleep.

- Shota's POV -

Once (Y/N) had dozed off, I stayed by her side. I sat down on the floor and kept my hand on her face where she had put it and held onto.
"She must have gotten sicken because of the rain while on the training trip..."

I didn't want to forcefully pull my hand away from her but luckily she loosened her grip at some point, so I could slip away and left the room in order to prepare something.

- Shota's POV end -

When you woke up the third time this day, you were met with your boyfriend's face that hovered over you as he slowly moved back.
It seemd that he had just checked your temperature with his own forehead, because he used a hand to keep your hair to get in your face.
"Your temperature is still very high. I made you chicken soup. Eat up and then you should take some medicine afterwards." Once you sat up, he put the tray with the steaming bowl on your lap so you could ingest it.

You still felt sloppy, so once you finished your food, you were still sitting but dozed off. Even though you were sleepy, you could feel that Shota gently laid you back down.

And while looking at your boyfriend, you dozed off.
