『The Soft Type is Sick』
❝His name is Kedama. He's happy to see you.❞

IT WASN'T A SURPRISE THAT Shinjiro got sick the day after the concert. He got home, threw himself into his bed and, when his mother went to check on him, he was already burning.
His mom, worried about him, insisted that he stayed at home until she was 100% sure that he was ready to go back to school.
Even though she wanted to stay home too and watch over her son, Mashiro was busy with her job at the hospital (she was a nurse, a good one at that).
So Shinjiro was left alone in his and his mother's apartment, his only company being his cute dog Kedama, otherwise known as Tama.
He tried to call the host club member's to inform them about his abscence, but his weak body wouldn't allow him to.
Shinjiro felt horrible. He had a really bad cold, which made him have a blocked nose, high fever and dizziness. He couldn't even be on his phone for more than five minutes without having a headache.
The first day, he believed that he would be better by the end of the day. He obediently stayed in his bed, ate, or at least tried to eat, what his mother cooked him, and only got up when he had to go to the bathroom.
The second day, he was feeling a bit more sappy. He tried to sleep all day, bu he gave up when the concert and Yuki wouldn't stop coming to his head.
This continued for almost a week. He expected to be better by the third day, but this sudden sickness of his was rather stubborn and wouldn't go away. Shinjiro's mother was so worried that she suggested that he went to the hospital, but he told her that he would be fine with more sleep.
And then, on a friday afternoon, he was given an extremely pleasant surprise.
Shinjiro woke up later than usual, not having been able to sleep earlier yesterday and falling asleep at five in the morning instead. He found his dog cuddled at his side, making him let out a soft smile and ruffle his fur.
He carefully got up and went to wash his teeth and face. He contemplated on taking a shower but, since his mother wasn't around, he decided not to. He could faint in the shower, after all.
Just as he sat back down on his bed and threw the covers over his head, the ringbell rang and Kedama woke up with a start, running towards the door of Shinjiro's room with his tounge outside his mouth.
Shinjiro sighed and got up again, feeling dizzy. He put on his pink slippers, "I'm going," he said, trying to be loud enough for the person outside to hear him.
