Red Velvet was always up bright and early each morning. It was very rare that he'd be the last one up or even a minute late, so for Red Velvet to be a bit behind was concerning to Licorice. Licorice headed to Red Velvet's room, mind racing with what could possibly be the reason for Red Velvet's absence. "Hey uh, Velvet..? You good?" Licorice asked as he gently knocked on his bedroom door. The faint sound of Red Velvet attempting to get up and get dressed could be heard. He clearly was struggling. "Y-Yeah..! You can c-come in..!" Red Velvet called out. He..he sounds..different.. Licorice thought as he cracked the door open and peeked in. "S-Sorry, I'll b-be ready....i-in just a sec...." Red Velvet huffed. "Oh...oh dear...in the nicest way possible, you look awful...are you okay???" Licorice asked as he stepped into Red Velvet's room and closed the door. "H-Hey!...I'm fine..! J-Just give me a sec.." Red Velvet muttered. "Absolutely not. You're in no condition to work, and you know that. Get back in bed, you're not working today, I won't allow it" Licorice said with a huff as he crossed his arms. "H-Heh...bold...of you to think y-you can boss me around...." Red Velvet said defensively. "It's because I can boss you around. As your boyfriend, I have every right to boss you around" Licorice smirked. "H-huh...? No, it doesn-" "Bed. Now." Licorice demanded. Red Velvet groaned as he reluctantly got back into his bed, slipping off his clothes, but leaving his boxers on. "Alright, so what seems to be the problem?" Licorice asked as he took a seat at the edge of Red Velvet's bed. "Mhh...head hurts, I feel.....really tired? And as you s..saw...I struggled to get any of my clothes on..it hurt" Red Velvet mumbled as he let out a soft sigh. "Ah...I see...hmm...here, you get comfortable, and I'll be right back, I think I know just what you need" Licorice said with a smile as he got up and made his way out of Red Velvet's room and to the kitchen.

"I don't know what he needs..." Licorice sighed in defeat. "You can't just give up like that, Licorice...come on. What did he say was bothering him??" Dark Choco asked. "Well he said he's just...tired and that his head hurts...oh and he looked very weak!" Licorice said. "Mhm...I see...it sounds like he's just...got a cold. Did you feel his forehead to see if he felt hot?" Dark Choco asked, as he started getting a few things together that would help with Red Velvet's issue. "Wait...you're supposed to do that-" "Licorice!" Dark Choco groaned. "What???! I've never dealt with him being sick before!" Licorice whined. "He might be..! Considering he stripped down to just his boxers before getting back in bed.." He continued. "Eugh....Licorice..if you're gonna be his boyfriend, at least be a good one...I'll get the stuff you need for him, and you take it to him, alright? If he asks...just say you did it..." Dark Choco said as he rolled his eyes and started making some tea, as well as getting a few pills to help with a possible fever and what not. "Thank you so much Dark Choco....it really means a lot that you're...helping me help him" Licorice said shyly. "Of course..but in the future, try and get more information out of him so you know what you need, alright?" Dark Choco asked, setting the medicine in a small dish, handing it to Licorice. "Now, you go and take that to him, and by the time you're back, the tea should be done, okay?" Dark Choco said, motioning for Licorice to go back to Red Velvet's room. Licorice gave a quick nod before leaving the kitchen.

"Hey, you feelin' okay..? I uh..got some medicine and I have tea being made right now" Licorice said softly, just in case if Red Velvet was asleep. Red Velvet wasn't asleep, nor could he get himself to sleep. "Mh...I'll be fine without....medicine.." Red Velvet groaned, his voice sounding a bit weaker than before. "My love....please...you wanna feel better, correct? Then take the medicine..please? You're only gonna get worse if you don't..." Licorice said pleadingly. Red Velvet groaned, then taking the medicine that Licorice handed him. "Great! I'll be back with some tea" Licorice said with a smile before leaving Red Velvet's room once again. It took a couple minutes before Licorice came back, only because he was scared of spilling any of the tea. "Hopefully you feel a bit better after this.." Licorice said as he carefully set the cup of tea on Red Velvet's dresser. "Thanks....can...can you come here...?" Red Velvet asked, his voice sounding rather sleepy. Licorice stood next to Red Velvet and looked at him with a slightly confused look. "No like...in bed with me....I...I wanna cuddle..w-with you.." Red Velvet murmured as he scoot over a bit so there was room for Licorice. "O-Oh! Are you sure? I don't wanna make you feel ove-" "Licorice....please...." Red Velvet pleaded. And without another word, Licorice got in bed right beside Red Velvet. Red Velvet immediately pulled him close and snuggled up against Licorice. "O-Oh....mmh...well, just tell me if you need anything...okay, dear?.....dear...?" Licorice said softly, waiting for a response from Red Velvet. No reply, as Red Velvet had fallen fast asleep almost as soon as Licorice got in bed. "Ah...I see....feel better..." He murmured, planting a kiss on Red Velvet's and eventually falling asleep as well.
