Shino woke up with a stretch, one arm was compressed by something else however his other arm was free. There was a dent in his bed from next to him where his arm was compressed. He thought for a minute until his heart skipped a beat and he turned over quickly, hoping to see the thing he wanted to lying next to him.
He smiled softly when it was what he was expecting. The back of a black and white haired Shadow manipulator, Still in his robe from last night. He used both arms to hug Arti as he rested into the back of his neck, Artemis whined slightly at Shino's touch
"Artiii" Shino sang quietly. He was confused when Artemis slightly whimpered and curled more into a ball "are you ok??" Shino whispered and tucked hair behind Arti's ear.
-Artemis's POV-
Shino stirred me awake with his warm hug. I went to hug him back but the moment i opened my eyes the light burned and my throat felt hoarse. My stomach ached and my head felt hot and throbbing as i curled up in means of comfort. I felt stuffy and freezing.
"Are you ok??" Shino asked gently, I shrugged and pulled my sleeve to cover my mouth, i felt like if i spoke I'd throw up. I felt Shino pull away from hugging me and gently place his hand on my head as i winced from my headache "Arti you're burning up really bad" Shino mumbled with shock lacing his voice.
He pulled the blanket away from me and i Shivered, "nooo, please its freezinggg" i whined and turned to him. Gently adjusting my robe to make sure it covered me while i moved. "You've got a fever silly, i think the snow made you sick" Shino told me, i nodded gently to what he was saying. I felt awful
"The snow was worth it.." i smiled as i pressed my hands on my eyes to try ease my headache. Shino shifted out of bed and shuffled with his desk, i looked at him confused as i kicked the blanket back over me. He pulled out an essential oil diffuser and dropped a few drops of a liquid into it "w..whats that?" I asked him weakly.
He switched it on and the air started to fog and smell almost minty, he turned back to me "it's eucalyptus, it'll help with your cold, help you breath better" he smiled at me as i sat up slightly and sniffed.
He went to kiss me but i turned away "i don't wanna make you sickkk" i pushed him away as he smiled, he moved my hand away and kissed my cheek. "Stay in bed, I'll look after you ok?" Shino smiled at me as i blushed brightly. "Y-You're so sweet" i sniffed, smiling at him despite how it irritated my headache.
Shino slipped out of his room and went upstairs, i lay back and closed my eyes slightly. He was so sweet for letting me stay in his room while he looked after me, however i felt completely weak and nauseous.
I lay my bed back into the pillows and pressed on my eyes with a groan. I couldn't breathe out my nose because I was so stuffy so i had to breathe out my mouth which made my throat drier then it already was.
After a few minutes, I wasn't really keeping track of time, I heard a knock at the door and let out a shaky "hmm?". The door clicked open and RikKu was standing there "S-Shino told me you were sick! So i wanted to check on you" she smiled at me and walked over, I smiled at her back as she placed a bowl on Shino's bedside table "I brought you breakfast! Whenever i'm sick i live off Mozzarella sticks, cereal, soup and Pringles! I've told shino to make sure you follow the same rules." She commented, placing her hands on her hips and smiling proudly to herself.
I giggled "thank you RikKu!!" I sat up gently and she thought for a moment. She turned around and went rummaging through Shino's draws. I looked at her confused until she pulled out Shino's TV remote "you know whats pure medicine when your sick? CAT VIDEOS!!" She excitedly yelled as she jumped on the bed in front of me and twitched the TV on and turned to Youtube.
She done some weird searchy thing and a video started playing. I sat with my knees up to my chest to give her room to lie down and she lay on her stomach and faced the TV, i grabbed my cereal and started eating it as she already seemed engaged with the video.
Small videos of cats doing weird funny things like jumping around or falling or attacking random objects played one after the other. RikKu sat there almost hysterical.
I couldn't lie they were really funny, i sat there giggling as different cats all appeared on screen, i almost even choked on my cereal at one point.
Once i finished my food I placed the bowl back on the bedside table and continued watching the video. RikKu's laughs were almost contiguous as we both sat there giggling and laughing "m-my ribs hurt" RikKu laughed as I practically threw my head back laughing, snorting lightly as i laughed.
We heard a knock on the door which snapped me and RikKu out of our hysterical laughter. Shino looked at us confused when he say the video playing and mine and RikKu's bright red face from all the laughing "what are you two doing??" He asked us both and i smiled at him quickly "RikKu put on this cat video!! It's so funny you should watch it with us" I explained while tugging on his sleeve as he approached to urge him to sit with us.
He sighed with a smile and sat down in between me and RikKu. We all focused onto the screen, RikKu was the first to continue laughing and eventually Shino laughed with us too. It was nice for all of us to spend time together, we had all gotten so close since Monarch started and i was really grateful for them.
Eventually both Shino and RikKu had things to do and left leaving me by myself. I felt lonely to be honest, and also i had a horrible headache that ached in my eyes. I slipped out of Shino's bed and grabbed a jacket from the floor, he had wore it yesterday and the day before. It was a sports hoodie with a zip in a size large (me and Shino were mediums) and it was grey with blue writing.
I stumbled into the bathroom to grab some paracetamol and unfortunately had to dry swallow it as I didn't have water. I gagged and choked slightly but overall i was fine, I decided to head upstairs to actually get a drink however because my throat was now burning.
-Shino's POV-
I stud in the kitchen cooking some soup, since Arti was sick it would be the best thing for him and RikKu didn't mind soup for lunch either so we could all just have soup. It was the easiest to just all have it instead of making separate meals so..
I jumped slightly when i heard a floorboard squeak from behind me "Arti?" I turned around to see Artemis wearing my hoodie with a pale face as he came upstairs.
"Arti Arti!!" I ran over and stopped him, he rubbed his eyes and hummed at me. His face was pale and his cheeks were pink, i placed my hand on his head and his temperature was super hot. I quickly led him to the couch and took off my hoodie from him and got him comfortable "have you had any medicine?" I asked him, he nodded "paracetamol just then.." he mumbled and covered his eyes from the light.
I kissed his cheek as he leaned into me slightly, "could you try eat something and see if you feel better?" I asked him and he nodded in reply. I absolutely fucking hated catching a chill and being sick, so I honestly felt awful for him.
I grabbed him some tissues and placed them next to him as I quickly finished the soup. Once i poured it into a small bowl i passed it to him "thank you Shino!.." he smiled gently, making my heart beat increase. No matter how often he does it his goofy little adorable smile always gets me.
He slowly eat his soup as i sat down next to him "how have you been?.." he asked me quietly, wiping the corner of his mouth with his knuckle as i hummed "eh... it's been ok. Nothings really been going on, um.. just mainly helping a bunch of different people out with things you know?" I replied, he nodded at me to let me know he was engaged with what i was saying "you're too nice Shino, you're so caring to everyone... take a break!" He told me before shoving a spoon full of soup into his mouth as i smiled.
"Yeah, i will. I think i need it" i stretched my arms behind my back hearing my neck crack slightly as i sighed. "God im tired" i commented as he giggled.
"Get some sleep.." Arti told me, i looked at him with a smile "i think you should follow your own advice" i mocked him as he laughed. "Yeah.." he mumbled
"Do you feel any better?" I asked him "yeah, thank you for looking after me Shino!" He gently saidI kissed his cheek as he blushed, setting his bowl to the side. "Hey, i love you, i love taking care of you" i told him as he hugged me tightly and i returned it, smiling into his shoulder
