ittogorou!! (itto x gorou) [DISCONTINUED]

unwell

gorou pov

i woke up very early in the morning, around 4:30am. itto still sound asleep, i creeped out of bed and into the kitchen. i grabbed a glass and filled it up half way. i felt extremely dizzy and nauseous. i drank all the water in one sip due to my extreme dehydration. there was no way i could possibly be sick if i just went out with itto yesterday. mind you i was perfectly fine all of yesterday, so to be sick would be a surprise. i ate something quickly since i was already up and went to go lay back down, i moved to the couch instead because if i was sick i didnt want to give what i had to itto.

as i stretched after waking up i realized gorou wasnt in bed. i got wayy worried so i got up quickly to search for him. stepping out of the room and looking on the couch, there laid gorou. maybe i was snoring too loud because why else would he sleep on the couch and not with me? my feelings definitely werent hurt or anything, i was just super confused. i walked over to see he was still sleeping, at first peaceful as always until i noticed he looked very unwell. i put my hand up to his forehead to feel a burning sensation, meaning he clearly had a fever. i quickly went to the bathroom to get a washcloth with cool water, i squeezed it until there was only a bit of excess water and went back over to gorou to place the damp washcloth on his head. i was afraid he would wake up at the feel of water, but instead he just flinched. i went to get him a light sheet from the cabinets, so he could cover up. if he had an actual blanket it would most likely cause him to burn up more than he already was. i sat on the floor and laid my head next to his, i decided i wouldnt give him medicine until he woke up. before i knew it i was asleep again.

i woke up to the cold chill of a towel on my head. looking over i saw itto asleep, realizing where i was and why i felt bad as to itto wasted his own resting time by taking care of me. i pulled the sheets off in attempt to get up, but i got knocked down by my dizziness, startling itto wide awake he picked his head up from the couch.
"ah, youre awake! how are you feeling?"
"awful" hearing myself speak, it was quite dry and raspy.
"im sorry love, would you like me to give you some medicine?"
hearing him speak of medicine made me want to run away. i absolutely hate medicine, though i was fond of finding the materials for it, i hated it. the after taste, the smell, the color, it was just medicine so i hated everything about it
"earth to gorouuu"
itto was waving his hand side to side in front of my face, trying to get me out of my medicine rant going on in my head.
"soooo? would you like medicine?
"nono! im okay really, a proper meal and some rest should be perfectly fine"
"but dont you think taking medicine is a bit easier?.."
"i-i mean in the end theyre probably the same process right?"
"if you say so"
i know he was just looking out for me, but i didnt know how to tell him i didnt like medicine without embarrassing myself. he looked over to see i didnt have the towel on my head.
"here, leave this on in the meantime"
he placed it on my head once more and kissed my cheek
"why in the world would you kiss me?!" i jumped up "now what if you get sick just like me??!"
"if you being sick is gonna keep me from kissing you, then i might as well just get sick" he chuckled, leaving me a frustrated blushing mess. he got up to do who knows what, and i laid back down and placed the towel back in place. itto came back with one of my pillows and another towel.
"here, that towel was getting pretty warm so lets switch em out"
he replaced the warm towel on my head with the cold one in his hand, it felt very refreshing somehow.
"oh! and heres your pillow since you look super uncomfortable"
he lifted my head up to gently place the pillow under
"t-thank you itto"
"no problem!" a huge smile flew across his face, as if that was my medicine. the only one i didnt hate.
he walked off again and came back with a glass of water more than half way full, placing it on one of the stands near the couch
"in case you get thirsty"
i was almost asleep at this point so i made a quiet mumble in response. itto slightly moving the towel to kiss my head, i drifted off to sleep.

since gorou was asleep i decided i would run down to a couple stands to get some things, after all it was about 9am. i quickly got dressed and rushed out the door. the plan is to get everything before gorou wakes up so i must hurry. i went down to a fruit stand and got a couple of things. i came across some flowers so i got some pretty ones that reminded me of gorou, that mightve taken some time to decide, but it was worth it since i absolutely love him. i laughed to myself quietly until i passed by some medicines. gorou did insist to not take any... but just in case he changes his mind i bought a couple that would cure his symptoms. i slowly walked home since i didnt spend long out, and i was totally out of breath from rushing through stands. the flowers were still in good condition, which was all i was really worried about. i opened the door to see gorou still asleep so i quietly placed everything down on the counter and put everything away, as for the flowers i pulled out one of our recent vases and filled it with water, i then placed the flowers in the vase and went to put them in a pretty spot. i went to wash off after this morning, which was super refreshing. when i finished, i went back to go sit next to gorou. with no idea until now, i slowly picked him up to bring him to our bed. he moved a bit, but luckily he didnt completely wake up. i slowly placed him down and crawled in next to him, embracing him tightly, which i doubt will bring his fever up. i wasnt very tired after this morning so i just laid there and played with his tail until he woke up.
