Golden Eyes, Silver Control

Sick

'Morning everyone...' Kai muttered, trying to rub the sleep out of his eyes. 'How is every- What the..?' He stopped halfway through his sentence looking at the mess.

'Heya.' Toga smirked.

There were pillows, feathers (where did those even come from?), blankets, and things that had been poured on the floor. 'Wh-What happened here?'

'We happened.' Twice said, 'I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WENT ON.'

'I...' Kai sighed. 'I'll have Nemoto clean it later.'

'Wait what?'

'Yeah I'll just have Nemoto clean it, it's alright.'

'No.' Togo whispered in a horrified voice.

Kai rolled his eyes and sat down next to Kurono. 'Morning love.' He said, leaning on his shoulder, closing his eyes.

'Is he sick?' Twice asked.

'No, he's just waking up.' Hari chuckled. 'He's always like this first thing in the morning. Hey, don't fall back asleep Kai.'

'Hush.'

Hari smiled and shook his head, 'Yes sir.'

Kai woke up again feeling hot and sweaty. He felt that same pit in his stomach from last night. What was going on?

He felt how he would feel whenever his father took him to see the LOV. Stressed, tired, nauseous. He wanted to go back to sleep but he was too hot.

'Hey,' He groaned. 'Hari, get up.' He pushed him a bit.

'What, do we have a meeting to- Oh right.' Hari realized what he was saying was nonsense when he look around.

'I'm hot.' Kai complained throwing the blanket off him and onto the rug. They had gone upstairs after they finished eating. But spicy food never made him feel this way. So what was up?

Hari put a hand on Kai's forehead. 'You're not just hot. You're burning up!' Hari pulled his hand away, 'I'll go ask Fatgum for a thermometer. Stay here.'

He got up and ran out, Kai would never say this to his face, he's always afraid of losing Hari. Even though he's told him a million times he would never leave him and that he loved him, he just couldn't shake the thought. But on hearing those words: Stay here, all he could think was, 'Well where am I gonna go? Finland?'

Hari came back a few minutes later, 'Open.' Kai opened his mouth and let Hari stick the thermometer under his tongue. He pulled it back up on the beep, 'Holy shit- 113.5°! Hold on.' He got up and left the room.

Kai figured this was the feeling he had. He's only been sick a few times before, and each time they were years apart. He wasn't used to it. He didn't want Hari to leave, he just wanted him to stay with him. The heat was sweltering, he felt like he was in a desert.

Hari came back with a glass of ice water and a damp washcloth. He laid the washcloth on his forehead and kissed him. 'I'm staying right here, just let me know if you need anything okay?'

Kai smiled, 'Thank you, Hari.'

They stayed there, Hari occasionally helped Kai take sips of water. Kai insisted on doing it himself but with how much Kai's entire body was trembling he nearly spilled the whole glass, but Hari caught it so he only spilled a little on his bare chest.

Hari kissed his neck now and again, Kai isn't used to being sick, and the heat will probably remind him of his father's quirk. He wanted Kai to feel safe for once in his life.

'Kai!' Fatgum called. 'Niki's here!'
