Why don't you leave me?

Story

"Dazai what are you doing?" Kunikida asked as Dazai whipped his forehead with a wet cloth.

"Taking care of you of course!" Dazai said with a smile on his face.

"I didn't ask you to!" Kunikida said and then he started coughing.

"Woah be careful there." Dazai said, and handed him a glass of water. For a second Kunikida could see genuine worry on his face. And then as soon as he saw it, it disappeared only to be replaced with his stupid smile. Still it was a smile that Kunikida had grown.... to love. Wait what was he saying?! Maybe the sickness had gone to his head.

Kunikida finished the glass and handed it to Dazai.

"Shouldn't you be at work?"

"Welllllll, my partner is sick today so it's not like I need to be there." Dazai replied

"But there's still work for you to do!" Kunikida replied, what was his relationship with Dazai if not for Kunikida getting annoyed and yelling at him every 5 seconds.

"But someone has to take care of you, and besides I'm sure Atsushi-kun can handle it." Dazai said.

"You know, you should really stop pushing your work on that poor boy," said Kunikida.

"But like I said, I have to be here with you." Dazai replied.

"But I never asked you too. I can take care of myself." It was true. When Kunikida was a math tutor, whenever he got sick he would take care of himself. Not because he wanted to of course, taking care of yourself even when you're not sick is hard enough, but kunikida had no other choice. So he learned how to. Just like most other things in life, you don't really learn them until you have too.

"Oh hush with that already. I'll go make you something to help with your fever." Dazai said and then got up from the stool that he had set up next to Kunikida's bed, to leave for the kitchen.

"Dazai! I FORBID YOU FROM GOING NEAR MY KITCHEN!" Kunikida shouted. Kunikida knew the man lived off nothing but canned crab and instant noodles from whenever he'd go to Dazai's apartment. Which wasn't too often but kunikida had been there enough to get a good grasp of how the brunette lived. And not only that, he had tasted Dazai's cooking firsthand. Cooking would be too generous of a word for whatever weird science experiments he had in the kitchen done and served too Kunikida. Needless to say, it was something kunikida never wanted to see, much less taste again.

Though he supposed the gesture was sweet especially since Dazai didn't just do these types of things. And that reminded Kunikida of all the other times he had gotten sick recently. Of course this didn't happen muchl. Kunikida was a neat man and above all, he valued being on schedule (god forbid Dazai stop him from doing that). And being sick really threw him off schedule, so he was extra careful not to get sick. But things like sickness always get you no matter how hard you try to escape them. Anyways back to the recent times..... It was dazai who had taken care of him. Even when Kunikida tried so hard to make him go away, Dazai always stayed until Kunikida was better. Dazai never left. He remembered the first time whenever Dazai actually broke his door to come inside. It woke up a sleeping Kunikida and Dazai immediately apologized for waking him up. (He had scolded Dazai a lot, and reluctantly gave a set of spare keys just so he wouldn't break his door agin.) He had been horrible at taking care of him, and Kunikida would've cried and begged him to leave. But over time Dazai learned to care for him. He did it really well now.

Maybe I really am lucky to have Dazai as a partner...

~little time skip~

"Oh Kunikida-kunnnnn, wake up~" Dazai called out to his sleeping partner.
