"Get some rest... I'll take care of you" he said. I nod my head. He take a seat on the edge of the bed, leaning his back against the headboard. I scoot closer to him, leaning my head to his thigh. He gently caress my hair, making sure to not shirt the towel. I close my eyes and let myself fall back asleep.

-Rest-

Y/N P.O.V

I open my eyes, realizing it's already the next day. I turn my head to the side to see Yoshio asleep while in a sitting position. His head is resting against the wall. I'm worried about his back. Sleeping while sitting isn't comfortable. I place my hand on his thigh and gently shake him awake.

He squirms a little before opening his eyes. His eyes gaze around before turning to look at me. A soft smile appear on his face. He lift his hand and gently place it on top of my head.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked. I just nod my head, giving him a soft smile. He rest his hand on my forehead to check my temperature. He nods his head. "Your fever is down..." he said.

"Is your back okay? Sleeping while sitting isn't the most comfortable" I said. He tries to move, only to wince. His back seem to ache after sleeping in that position for the whole night. "Your back hurts, doesn't it?" I asked.

He just give me a small smile. "I'm alright, Y/N... don't worry" he said. His back sounded a little strained, letting me know that his back is hurting him. I move to sit up and stare at him with a worried gaze.

"You don't sound okay though. Do you want me to heal you?" I asked. He quickly shakes his head at my offer. "No... you just got better. I'll be fine" he said. I let out a sigh and nod my head, knowing Yoshio is going to act stubborn about it.

He stands up and stretched his body a little. He wince in pain when he moves to a certain angle. "Are you sure you don't want me to heal you?" I asked. He turns to look at me and nod his head, smiling reassuringly at me.

"Yes, I'm sure. I'll be right back, okay? I'm going to get you something to eat" he said. I tilt my head at what he said. "Can't I just walk?" I asked. He places his hands on his hips.

"Absolutely not... you just got better, Y/N. You're still in a recovery process. So you should stay rested" he said, in a stern voice. I let out a sigh, raising my hands in surrender manner. He just smiles at my reaction. He ruffles my hair which makes me swat his hand from my hair, pouting at him. He just chuckles and turns around, making his way out of my room.

Yoshio walks back in, holding a tray in his hands. He place the tray on the desk and grabs the bowl. "It's soup, Y/N. Is it okay with you?" He asked. I just nod my head, while smiling softly at him.

"Yeah it's fine..." I said. He nods his head with a smile. I reach out for it, but Yoshio pulls it out of my reach. I stare at him in confusion. "What?" I asked.

"Let me feed you..." he said. My eyes widened at what he said. He notices the hesitation written on my face. He just smiles at me and take a seat on the edge of the bed, still holding the bowl in his hands. "Please? I just want to be a good boyfriend for you..." he said.

I just nod my head, making him smile. He starts to feed me the soup, after blowing on it to make sure it's not too hot. I open my mouth, letting him insert the spoon inside. I swallow the soup and let out a hum at the warmth as it moves down my throat.

Yoshio smiles at me and continue to the soup to me. I can feel my cheeks getting warmer at how caring Yoshio is being with me. He's really the best boyfriend I could ever ask for.

After the soup is finished. He grabs a napkin and gently wipe my lips. I blush at his gesture. He let out a chuckle at my reaction and gently peck my lips, making me cover my face with both of my hands.

"Why are you getting shy, Y/N?" he said. He gently grab my hands and pulls them away from my cheeks. He leans his forehead against mine. "It's just me... your boyfriend. There's no need to be shy" he added. I just smile softly at him. He smiles as he caresses my cheeks. He leans closer and gently places a soft kiss on my lips.

"Yoshio... don't kiss me right now" I said, gently pushing him back with my hands on his shoulders. Yoshio start pouting at me. "I'm still sick. You're going to catch my illness" I added.

"Like I care..." he said, gently moving my hands from his shoulders and kisses me again. I just let out a soft giggle in between the kiss and kisses him back. He gently wraps his around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I wrap my arms around his neck in return.

We pull away for air. Yoshio hugs me close in his arms. I lean my head against his chest. "I love you, Y/N..." he said, while gently caressing my hair. I gently squeeze him, while smiling softly to myself.

"I love you too, Yoshio" I said. I feel a soft kiss on the side of my head. He moves to lay down on my bed with me still wrapped up in his arms. I snuggle closer to his chest.

I cover my mouth as I yawn softly. "Sleepy?" He asked. I just nod my head. "Get some more rest..." he said. I just nod my head again. He continue to play with my hair as he held me firmly in his arms. His gesture makes me feel more comfortable.

My eyes starts to feel droopy. I start to feel sleepier. So I just close my eyes. "Sleep well, love..." he whispered in a gentle voice, luring me deeper. My lips twitch into a soft smile as I drift off to sleep.
