3rd person POV

"Asahi, you're overreacting, it's just a little cold." Noya laughed but it tickled his throat and he started having a coughing fit. Yesterday Noya sounded a little off and Asahi asked what was wrong, Noya said he simply woke up not feeling 100% but he was alright. This morning Noya texted Asahi that he was okay but Asahi knew Noya tended to down scale his feelings so he called him.

"Noya, you really don't sound okay, there's only a couple days left of work here before I can go home so I can always leave early to look after you." Noya could picture the concerned look on Asahi's face. "No! I mean thank you, but I can take care of myself, all I need to do is take some medicine and sleep, I'll be fine. I don't want you to miss work because of me." Noya would hate to cut Asahi's work trip short just because of a little sickness.

"Okay Noya, but promise me to call or text if you start to feel worse and call me tomorrow morning. I love you." Asahi said, full of worry for his husband. "Yes yes, I won't forget, love you too." Noya said then ended their call. Phew, his throat hurt from talking and his head ached more from the noise of the phone call, as much as he loved Asahi's voice, it was hurting his head.

Yesterday Noya was convinced it was just a simple cold but this morning he woke up feeling a lot worse and new and unwelcome symptoms taunted him. The coughing, headache, little to no appetite and the mild fever he was now sporting. Putting the phone down and rubbing his eyes Noya stood up.

The room swayed and he tried blinking it back to normal, great dizziness, another thing to the list of symptoms. Once Noya was more down to earth he went to their bathroom and got out some medicine. Noya stuck his mouth under the tap then took the tablets.

He looked at his refection, boy he didn't look good at all. Noya found it amusing that his hair was sticking up in crazy directions but didn't have the heart to laugh in the current situation. It was the morning but Noya didn't feel like making breakfast nor eating at all but thought coffee might wake him up.

Very much dumb idea, Noya noted to himself the next time he's sick, do not drink coffee. He hadn't known how weak his stomach was and a strong liquid like coffee in it was sure to make it upset. Noya felt like slapping himself in the face, but of course his head was already sensitive to the touch so he won't be doing that.

He drank the whole cup of coffee in one go, who does that?- Noya apparently. Noya groaned at the achiness in his stomach, sending him into a cough attack. The neighbours could probably hear the throat-grating, wet coughs. His body clenches with the force of each cough and his stomach cramps in response.

Noya swallows another urge to cough and breathes as slowly as possible. Once Noya is sure the coughing is over, he hugs his stomach, it was still cramping from his body seizing with coughs. Noya shuffle-walked back to his and Asahi's bedroom. He crawled back under the covers, wanting a whole in the floor to swallow him up.

Noya felt the exhaustion from the world of sickness overtake him and send him into an uncomfortable but deep sleep.

When Noya woke up next he noticed the room was darker, so he figured it was some time later in the evening but almost fell off the bed when he checked the time on his phone. 2:27am the next day, had he really slept that much? All his doubts went away because, he somehow felt worse. His so called "cold" was now definitely a bad case of the flu.

He felt so dizzy, sitting up made his head spin and his stomach clench. Noya felt his throat bubble with the urge to vomit, he was as quick as his sick body would allow and threw himself towards the toilet. Just as he was at the toilet his stomach seemed to pause and wouldn't give him the satisfaction of throwing up.
