Cough Drops and Disney Movies

Kaede woke up with a stretch to see Kokichi smothering himself in a pillow. "Uh, Kokichi are you up?" She asked, poking the boy lightly. Kokichi sneezed again before groaning.

"What do you think?" He said sarcastically before pulling out of the pillow to cough. He frowned after he had recovered some and glared at the girl beside him. "You let me get siiiiiick. My knight didn't protect me! How ruuuuude." He said before getting a coughing fit once again. Kaede felt a tinge of guilt as she should have changed the boys wet clothes before going to sleep.

"I'm sorry. Would you like some tea or soup?" She asked, playing with a strand of her hair. Kokichi grabbed the blanket and yanked it to steal from Kaede. He sat up and wrapped himself in it before sticking his tongue out at her. "Go make me your finest soup you chef! Back to the kitchen where you belong!"

Kaede frowned "You're lucky you're sick or I wouldn't be taking this treatment." With a huff she got out of bed. Kokichi hummed in reply as he groggily flopped back down on the bed to wait for Kaede to come back up. 'God being sick sucks. Why couldn't miss princess just help me out and deal with the teasing, I mean it's not like she dislikes it, or she'd have left years ago.' He thought as he slightly dozed off again.

Kaede was humming as she made some chicken noodle soup. 'I hope he's not too mad at me' she thought to herself as she was finishing up. She turned off the stove and went into her garden to grab a flower as an extra peace offering. She plated up the soup and went upstairs.

"Here you go." She said simply setting it down on the side table and sitting at the boy's feet. Kokichi wiggled out of his blanket prison with a smile.

"Thank you, kitchen wench. Nishishi~" he said before falling into another coughing fit and groaning. He snatched the soup bowl and quickly began eating it as the heat from the food helped his sore throat. "Actually though, thank you. It's really good." He mumbled into the soup.

Kaede smiled hearing Kokichi being genuine with her. It wasn't that rare, sure he can joke around a lot but he knows when to tone down. "Aw does the supreme lord have a soft spot for the 'kitchen wench'?" Still though, she couldn't help but tease him with a chuckle before lightly stroking the side of his leg to show that she did indeed appreciate his thanks.

Kokichi glared at the girl and huffed. "See if I ever be nice to you again. Stupid kitchen wench..." he said as he finished up the soup and set the bowl back down. He sniffled slightly as he felt a sneeze coming on but pinched his nose to stop it. "God being sick is the worst. Why'd you have to let me get attacked by the cold outside world!"

Kaede rolled her eyes with a smile before grabbing the now empty bowl to take it downstairs. "You were the one who wanted to play in the rain and fell asleep before you changed into warm clothes." Kaede said lifting a finger "That isn't my fault." She said opening the door "Is there anything else you would like? I'm going to get the thermometer."

Kokichi rolled his eyes at Kaede and shuffled to the side of the bed and stood up wobbling slightly. "Mm I want cuddles!" He said as he grabbed the blanket and wrapped himself in it once again. Kaede smiled sympathetically at the sick boy.

"Hun we can't have you overheating, and cuddles will do just that. I'll be right back okay?" She said leaving the room. Kokichi pouted when his request was denied but just shrugged it off, He could sneak some in later anyways.

Downstairs Kaede rinsed out the bowl, got the thermometer and a cup of water for Kokichi. While Kaede was downstairs Kokichi took the time to change out of the previously wet clothes and into some comfy pjs. He sat back down on the bed when he was done and rested his head on his knees.

"So, what hurts exactly?" Kaede asked once she got back upstairs, handing the cup of water to the boy for him to drink a little of.

"My throat hurts mostly, and my nose is stuffy..." Kokichi said ignoring the water being handed out to him. Kaede frowned feeling bad for causing the boy to get sick, even if she previously said it wasn't her fault. Setting down the glass she checked his temperature seeing he was indeed sick, not that there was any doubt he was. She set down the thermometer and tried again to get him to drink some water again. "Please, drink some water and I can get you some medicine." She said lightly stroking the boy's hair with her free hand.
