12 Days of Teo

In Sickness and Health

[Day 7: Sick]

"Teo~ *cough* Teo, I'm dying."

It's that time of the year again. When MC gets insanely sick and suddenly becomes the best tragedy actor I have ever seen.

"Tell..onekey and twokey.. that I love them."

"Honey~ you're not dying. You're just ill."

"No, Teo. This time I can feel it. *cough* I'm actually taking my last breaths."

Why do they have to be so adorable when sick? I would say I wish for them to be sick all the time, but that would be sadistic, wouldn't it?

"Save me Doctor Teo, you're my last *cough* hope."

"Patient MC, what seems to be the problem?"

"I'm dying Doc *cough* the light. ITS COMING!"

"The only way to cure you.. is.. with.."

"Hurry Doc, death will soon arrive!!"

"With.. A KISS! *muah*"

"...am.. am I cured?..... *cough*.. DANG IT DOC YOU SAID THAT WAS THE SOLUTION!.. death *dramatic cough* is.. upon me.. bleh"

"Hahaha alright, alright. Come on hon, it's time for you to rest."

The little role play they always do especially shines through when they're sick. If I were to record us, we would definitely be nominated for an acting award. Best Lead Actor in a Drama, perhaps?

"I gave you your medicine. The water is right here next to you. Is there anything else that you need before you rest?"

"Yeah...I need you."

If there was anyone who can tear me apart with their eyes only, it would be you, MC. Those puppy eyes that make me melt on spot. How did I ever find such an adorable person?

"Honey~ I'll get sick if I stay any longer.."

"Then I'll take care of you. Please~ stay with me. I don't want to be alone.."

How can I possibly resist that? I don't usually get sick anyways, so what's the big deal? If my honey wants me, then they're gonna have me.

"Are you comfortable?"

"Mm"

As they lie there, leaning into me with one leg wrapped around my body, I take in everything. Their scent. Their feel. Their warmth. Everything about them is so.. perfect. I never want this moment to end. If I could freeze time right now, I would... maybe I can try??

"Teo, what are you thinking about? You look *cough* you look so focused."

"Nothing, sweetie, just relax."

I don't want to leave. I don't ever want to leave this spot. I just wanna be here forever...

"*cough* Honey~ *cough*"

"Teo! Get back into bed. What are you doing out of the room?"

"I was *cough* *cough* looking for you."

"I went to get your medicine."

"My medicine is *cough* you though, so why did you leave? *cough*"

"It's no time to be cute, mister, you're seriously sick here. What am I gonna do if you die? I can't be a single parent to Onekey and Twokey."

Their presence is all I need in life. It doesn't matter if I'm sick, sad, or happy, I need them by my side. Even if I was dying, I want them to be right there with me, holding my hand until my last breath.

"*sigh* Your temperature went back up.. hold on."

As I watch them run around the house looking for anything that could heal me, I realized that I might have found the most perfect human being in the entire world.

"I love you, MC."

Day 8: "What do you think love is, Teo?"
