Field trip! (Sumeru) ~ Chapter 23 ~

This chapter will mostly focus on other ships! Though, there will be crumbs of Thomato around...

--

A class field trip, with the Sumerian section.

Well, it was really a big surprise.

Suddenly, it was announced that the headmasters of both sections had been planning this and were going to finally finalize it after weeks.

They were informed of this through two different methods, an ear-bleedingly loud announcement at precisely 6:12 am through the speakers in the dormitory and a sweet little peaceful message personally to each student's independent contact. 

Although it did wake up Ayato, he wasn't very against it since he woke up in Thoma's arms right before he was about to leave (after getting up and making breakfast, he came back to lay with Ayato just for a few more minutes) his side again.

"I guess.. We can stay in bed for another 10 or 15 minutes..." Thoma convinced no one, well, except himself as he justified his reasons for laying back down and hugging Ayato in bed.

Through all this time, Ayato only heard soft murmurs from Thoma, barely understanding a word. When he was caressing  Ayato again, he started whispering sweet nothings into his ear. 

Just what was up with him today? Was he alright?

'I'm fine.. Just.. Tired...' Whispered Thoma again, as if he were to be any louder and someone might hear him say such things.

'It.. Burns a little..' Thoma suddenly whispered in his ear, Ayato quickly pushed Thoma away from him. Figuring his hand would be of no use to check if his head was burning, he stood up and started to search for a thermometer.

"Ayato-san.. Did I say something wrong?" Thoma said in just a loud enough voice for Ayato to hear.

"You might be sick, Thoma." Ayato kept searching, drawers, closets, what else?...

His study. Of course. And he did find one in the study table's drawer.

Quickly walking to Thoma and plopping it in his mouth, he gestured for Thoma to stay put and quiet.

Thoma only slightly nodded, showing that he was indeed obeying his instructions.

Beep... Beep... Beep...

Oh, it rang.

101.3° Fahrenheit.
(38.5° Celsius)

Oh dear.

"Thoma, you have a bad fever." Ayato spoke, was this because of what they did in the rain?

Ayato really has no one else to blame but himself.

"Oh no... But.. There's a field trip.. This afternoon..." Thoma panted a little, was he getting stressed over a mere field trip?

"Thoma, worry about your condition more. The field trip can be fed to the rats." Ayato sat next to Thoma, feeling offended on Thoma's behalf for his own health being nothing compared to a field trip in Thoma's eyes.

If it were anyone else but Thoma who was sick...

"But..." Thoma said in a small voice before sighing a long one.

"I'll just.. Stay back and rest..."

"Not so quick, my little pup, Do you really think I'm going to leave you unattended and sick while I go out there and... Have fun?" Would he be having fun on a field trip? Probably not.
