Soukoku - Sick

Sick

Chuuya was sick.

He had felt dizzy the night before but didn't think much of it since he was too tired to even speak. Then, he woke up to many sneezes in a row and constant coughing.

I hate this.

As if the world had heard his pain and decided to make it worse, someone knocked on his door.

He groaned and stood up slowly.

"I swear to my fucking health..."

He walked over to the door, staggering and losing his balance.

Gripping onto the doorknob, he turned it and opened it to find no one other than Dazai.

"Chuuya!"

"Ah, not you."

"I heard you were sick, so I decided to make fun of you for it." The brunette smirked, pushing past the redhead and walking into his apartment.

"Damn you... Get out."

"Nope~ I'll stay here for now."

Chuuya muttered to himself, walking back to his room.

He stumbled forward and braced himself to hit the ground until he felt someone holding him up.

"Watch your step, hatrack."

"Sorry... I can't even walk straight." He mumbled, closing his eyes.

Dazai sighed and picked him up. "I came over so I could take care of you, dummy, and you've already almost fallen."

He put him back on his bed and covered him with his blanket.

"I'll be on the couch, call me if you need something."

Chuuya squinted his eyes open, watching the brunette leave his room.

When Chuuya got sick, he would lose all sense in pretty much everything.

That meant he couldn't walk right, smell things or taste anything. He couldn't think properly either.

All of the things that were reckless by the redhead's standards would all seem fine when he was sick. That meant letting Dazai stay in his house was fine with him at the moment.

He closed his eyes, only to fall asleep again.

"..ya..."

"Chuuya..."

"Hatrack~"

He woke up to Dazai's voice right next to his ear and he looked at him.

"What?"

Hs smirked. "How are you feeling?"

Chuuya sat up and the brunette waited.

"What happened?" He looked at Dazai. "Did you do something to me?"

"No." He chuckled. "You've been asleep for a while now, that's why I'm asking. I came at 2 and it's 8 now."

"Oh." He sighed and looked around. "I'm fine."

"You don't sound like it," Dazai replied.

Chuuya rubbed his eye with his finger. "But I am."

The brunette stood up.

"Well, come on, I made you something to eat."

The redhead looked up. "You cooked?"

Dazai smiled at him. "Yep."

He moved slowly, putting his feet on the ground and then standing up. He took a moment to let the dizziness pass.
