Senju Kawaragi oneshots

Sick days

Your mother sighed as she removed her hand from your burning forehead as you were buried under your bed covers. 

“You're burning up.” She stated with a sigh. “Let me go get the thermometer to check your temperature.”

 She said before disappearing into the bathroom. That's right, you had woken up sick that day yet you were still planning on going to school. If it wasn’t for your coughing fit and for your mom asking to feel your forehead, you would have already been at school by now. She walked back in your room taking your temperature before placing a cold rag on your burning forehead. 

“I’m sorry that I can’t stay to take care of you today, hun.” She said with a bit of a sad tone, “No no mom it's ok!” 

You started waving your hands around in dismissal as she looked at you with a worried face. Patting your head she asked, “Are you sure you’ll be ok alone? If you want you can call up a friend, or your girlfriend.” She said wiggling her eyebrows at you in a teasing manner. Your body heated up not knowing if it was the fever getting worse or you were blushing from the mention of your girlfriend, Senju Kawaragi. 

“Yeah, I might call her and see if she can swing by.” You muttered. “If that's it I’ll be off then. If something happens don’t hesitate to call me, and I’ll be back from work as soon as possible!” 

Your mom stated before hurrying out of the room, most likely late to her shift. You sighed, feeling that classic heavy yucky feeling pulling down your body and exhaustion. Your head was also ponding, and to make things worse you had bad coughing fits that left your throat

sore and dry. Grabbing a cough drop from your bedside table you popped it in your mouth sucking on it, sighing in relief as you could feel your sore throat feeling less sore. 

Closing your eyes, finally giving into the exhaustion, you finally drifted into a somewhat sound sleep. You couldn’t recall how long you had slept for before you started feeling the rag that laid on your forehead being flipped over. Finally being able to move your semi-sore body you shuffled into a more comfortable position while rubbing your eyes. 

“Mom?” You called out softly, making the mystery person turn around and chuckle. Your vision had begun clearing up and now you could see the person hovering over you, it was Senju. “What are you doing here?” You asked sitting up, suddenly being hit with a coughing attack. As you were coughing Senju rushed over to you patting your back as you continued. 

Muttering a small ‘thank you’ Senju went back to sitting by your side on your bed. Looking at her more closely, you noticed that she wasn’t in her classic gang uniform, but in a normal school uniform. 

“You didn’t show up at school and I got a little worried. I asked Hina and she said that you were home sick, so I rushed here after getting a few things from the convenient store.” 

Your eyes widened a bit in surprise, she went out of her way just because you were sick? Normally when you got sick, you would just power through it while going to school if it wasn’t that bad. If it was bad you would stay at home till your mom got back to take care of you. “Open your mouth.” Senju said, snapping you out of your thoughts. Looking back over at her she had a spoon in her hand that had some liquid in it, most likely soup. 

Opening your mouth you allowed her to feed you the soup till there wasn’t anything left in the bowl. Setting the bowl down she put a hand, a cold hand, on your forehead checking your temperature. She was about to pull away when you moved your hand in front of hers, keeping it in place. 

“Your hands are cold. It's perfect.” You said with a slight hum, releasing her hand after it started to get warm.  You layed back down, snuggling into the blankets expecting to get some more sleep. 

“Have you taken medicine yet?” The question that you dreaded. You curled up more into your blankets and sheets muttering a ‘no’ that was muffled by the blankets. 

Senju sighed, getting ready the liquid torture as you called it, knowing that it wasn’t going to be easy having you take the medicine. Once she had it poured into the small plastic cup she set it down on the bedside table before turning her attention to you. By now you were cuddled up under the covers laying on your back, hiding half your face behind them. 

“Darling, you do want to feel better, no?” Senju asked in the sweetest voice she could. You nodded from under the covers beginning to speak, “Yeah but it tastes yucky, bitter, and the taste lingers in my mouth.” You said, making a ‘bleh’ sound showing how much you didn’t like it. 

Luckily, Senju came prepared to bargain. 

“Hypothetically,” She started, “let's say I had a [Favorite flavor] icecream bar and let you have it if you took your medicine like a good girl.” Butterflies erupted from your stomach from the phrase ‘good girl’. “[Favorite Flavor]?” You asked, peeking out from behind the blankets with big, doe-like eyes.

 Senju internally screamed about how cute you looked, she just wanted to bundle you up and take you away. “Yep. But only if you take your medicine. I’ll give it to you later when you feel better so it's more tasty.” She stated in a convincing tone. You thought for a second about the offer, internally agreeing with yourself before you slowly sat up. 

“Good girl.” She complimented before handing you the small plastic cup filled with the medicine.

 You looked at the medicine then back at Senju who had an encouraging expression on her face. In one quick motion you pour the bitter liquid in your mouth, letting it slide down your throat oddly warm. This makes you start coughing from both a coughing fit and from how bitter tasting it was. While you were having your little fit Senju was there, rubbing your back in comforting circles before helping you lay down.

 “You should try to get some more sleep. Since you took the medicine you should wake up feeling better too.” 

She stated, taking the rag off your forehead before dipping it back into a bowl with cold water, placing it on your forehead. 

“Aren’t you going back to school?” You asked. 

You did indeed notice that it was around your lunch hour at school. “No, no. I’ll stay here with you till your mom gets back from work.” She said while holding your hand. “So don’t worry about anything and get some rest so you can feel better and have that [Favorite Flavor] ice cream bar ok?”
