Mute and Germaphobe

Fever-Fueled Affection

A knock sounded on your door, but you didn't get up- you couldn't. Your body felt too heavy- an experience you aren't very familiar with.

Sleepily, you spoke as loudly as you could (which wasn't very loud and your voice was raspy). "Come in." Then cane the bought of coughing.

Inumaki entered your room, eyes widening as he saw you laying in bed without a mask. "Are you ok?! Where's your mask?!"

You struggled to turn and look at him. "Hey, Togeeee. Why ya here so early?"

He froze by your bed and stared at you. You were... talking differently. You still hadn't called him by his first name. So why did you suddenly do that?

"It's already the afternoon.... Did you just wake up?"

"Yeah. Oh, is everything alright? You seem tense, Togeee." You kept dragging his name out.

He blushed lightly at your behavior. "You're acting different today. Is something wrong?"

You shook your head, a lazy smile spreading across your lips. "Just tired from my first mission as a semi grade 1 sorcerer yesterday. It's also kinda cold in here...."

"Y/n.... Your face is almost red."

"Yours is too?"

He quickly turned away, not realizing his blush was noticeable and that you could see it. "That's different. Don't worry about my face. And your room isn't cold, you also have balnkets on you. How are you cold?"

You pouted. "It is cold, Togeee! Come here!"

He found you so cute, but couldn't risk letting you know so he kept that thought out of his mind. He sat on the edge of your bed, gazing at you with concerned eyes. "Are you sure you feel alright? I'm getting worried about you...."

You giggled. "You're always worried about me, Toge?"

Inumaki's whole face was the same color as a fire truck. "Y-yeah.... We're friends, why wouldn't I be worried about you?"

You giggled. "You know you can be really cute sometimes?"

You left that poor boy speechless, his whole body feeling like he was on fire. What was up with you today?

You moved closer to him in your bed, uncovered hand grabbing his uniform jacket. "Hug...." You murmured.

His eyes widenee as he turned to face you. "Hug?"

You nodded, nuzzling your head against his jacket. "I wanna hug."

Inumaki turned his whole body to you, which ended up being a mistake on his part. You pulled him into a laying position, putting your head against his chest while your arms wrapped around his torso.

He couldn't calm his heart down, his whole body only getting warmer.
"Y-Y/n?! W-why are you hugging me?!"

You hummed, content to be cuddling. "Cuz I wanted to. You're so warm, Toge.... And you smell nice."

Inumaki felt like his heart was about to beat right out of his chest. "Why- why would you say something like that?!" He was desperately trying to remain calm, but inside he was definitely panicking.

You giggled, nuzzling your face further into his chest and giving a him a light squeeze with your arms. "Cuz it's true. I'm comfy.... Can you stay here like this with me? Please, Toge?"

Inumaki sighed. "I won't be going anywhere. But, I'm calling someone."

"Call Omi-omi!" You started intertwining your legs with Inumaki's.
