Sick? Impossible!

Reminder: Guardian angels only need one hour of sleep.

Tw: Descriptions of being sick.

The sounds of high heeled shoes walking quickly from a marble floor could be heard from the palace. Lois knew Daedalus would have returned by now, if he didn't then that would mean another problem to deal with. But thankfully, when she opened a door, he was there.

Lois couldn't help but quickly jog over to him. Curious on what he could have done with the guardian angel and the human. With her hands clasped together and her eyes glinted with eager curiosity once he was in view.

Daedalus looked over from the noise of Lois's heeled boots, a gentle smile tugging at his lips as he was happy to see his friend. "How did it go? What'd you do?" was the first thing that she had asked, looking Daedalus up and down as if a way to make sure he wasn't hurt somehow.

Daedalus didn't waste anything on replying to her question. "Well, I was watching them I have some interesting information about those two" he started, stretching his wings out now that they weren't hidden from the human eye anymore. His wings cracking satisfyingly as he did so.

"The guardian angel seems to be close with the human. Close enough to wish to not be friends with the human anymore. He doesn't seem to fully realize it though" Daedalus told, nodding as if to confirm himself of his statement. 

Losi seemed rather pleased with the information. Though she would have liked it if something actually happened. The only restriction he had was to make sure other humans didn't see him, which would be rather easy. But she supposes he still did good, considering the information would be useful for future reference.

Daedalus was far from just smart. He takes pride in that. Of course, he can read peoples expressions, especially Lois's considering how close of friends they are. "I was also able to release this" Daedalus said, holding up a small vile that contained nothing inside.

"Huh?" Lois raised an eyebrow, even squinting her eyes to try and see what was in the vile. "There's nothing inside it anymore. But it held a germ, if you will. It only effects guardian angels. He'll be sick to say the least" he said with a shrug.

"He saw me, staring at him which caused him to be paranoid. His main focus wasn't himself but the human, so it was simple to walk in a group of humans and make the small virous go n the guardian angel. It needs time to settle in so I made sure it would happen when the human had to go to school" Daedalus rambled on, fidgeting with his nails as he did so.

Lois couldn't help the small mischievous smirk that tugged at her lips at the news.

All Hitoshi really remembers that night was the nagging thought about how he felt the feeling of dreaded jealousy. He knows he ended up sitting on the edge of Denki's bed, drifting to sleep at around three am.

They spent that night studying, Hitoshi reminding Denki he should go to bed as the blond kept complaining about how he should get it done and not go to bed. Hitoshi dragged Denki out of bed, not caring about how he tried to squirm out of his grasp.

All in all, Hitoshi only remembers preparing himself to wake up the next fifteen or so minutes while Denki slept, face smashed in his pillow. 

He doesn't remember, not one, remember waking up after those fifteenth minuets. He woke up to the sun shining in his face. His body weak and tired as it ached. He felt hot, his forehead sweating as he didn't feel comfortable.

"Oh, thank god" he heard someone mumble, but quickly knew it was Denki. Who else could it be? Unless if something happened to Denki. The thought caused Hitoshi's stomach to turn as if it were a washing machine starting.

His eyes barley opened, squinting at the sun that shined through the window that made him hiss as it seemed to blind him. But if the sun was out instead of raising, that means Denki is missing school and if he misses school then that means he'll stress out about it later!

"I thought you died or something dude! You said you only sleep for fifteen minutes. It's been an hour and half sense I woke up!" Denki told, his voice cracking. Probably from his worry or stress. Possibly both. "What..." Hitoshi rasped out, his voice seeming more gruff and tired then usually was.

Hitoshi forced his eyes open, adjusting on Denki's bed that he was now laying on. He groaned as he adjusted to get a better look at the blond. He saw his expression looked worried and concerned before it dropped into a pout once he saw Hitoshi looking at him. "You look like shit" Denki said.

Hitoshi couldn't even muster a response, instead, closing his eyes once more. The sunlight caused his eyes to sting, and he felt hotter knowing the giant star was beaming down on him. He felt miserable to say the least. He grumbled something Denki couldn't understand as he wiped the gross sweat off his forehead.

"No, but you literally look terrible. Are you ok?" Denki asked, concern lacing his voice. Hitoshi tried to wave him off, say that he's fine and go on with the day sense Denki was already late for school. But ever muscle in his body felt weak and shaky. He hated it.

The feeling felt new, like he's never felt this horrible in his life, but at the same time it felt familiar. As if he, indeed, felt this way more than once before. "You look sick" Denki suddenly told, now feeling his forehead. His hand was cold, causing Hitoshi to lean into the nice cool touch.

"I can't get sick" Hitoshi stated, but the blond looked unconvinced. "You're burning up, you're all sweaty, and I bet you know that I'm late for school and if you knew that on any other day you would be rushing me man!" Denki stressed, his hands moving frantically as he spoke.

Despite the fact Hitoshi felt like shit, and he knew damned well Denki knew considering he kept trying to figure out what to do. He got up. His head felt light while his vision swayed. He couldn't help but stumble. Denki ran to the bathroom, saying he could get him a wet cloth, but he'll be fine.

Guardian angles can't get sick. It's common knowledge...Unless. Hitoshi couldn't believe he let himself get distracted yesterday. He forgot that weirdo who was able to see him. He could still be out there, and Hitoshi wouldn't know, not even Denki considering he knew nothing of it.

"Hitoshi, you need to lay back down. You look pale" Denki stated, before realizing his words. "Paler than usual, that is" he added. He held a cold cloth in his hands. He was ready for school, yet he didn't go. Part of Hitoshi was thankful, while the other part was unthankful for that.

"No, you need to go to school" Hitoshi said, though his voice sounded more demanding than what he would have hoped. "I promise I'm fine" Hitoshi insisted, but like Denki has been sense Hitoshi has him this morning, he seemed unconvinced of his words.

With his best attempts, he stood up straighter. His goal was to act like nothing was off about him for the rest of the day. It seemed impossible but so did Denki seeing him. Though Denki tried to protest, not wanting the guardian angel to just feel worse in the long run. But Hitoshi denied every word if it had to do with him not feeling good.

"I can just make up an excuse if you're worried about me getting in trouble or something" Denki tried, though he was getting pushed out his dorm rooms doorway. "No, just school" Hitoshi said, but Denki wasn't too sure what his words meant.

Hitoshi won the war that was to go to school or not go to school. That didn't stop the blond from looking at Hitoshi with a worried gaze as he watched his eyes threaten to close. Denki was given the wonderful glare from his homeroom teacher, but even that didn't concern him as much as he was concerned for Hitoshi.

Whatever was happening to Hitoshi was not only concerning for Denki, but Hitoshi was also concerned for himself. He couldn't be sick. He was told he couldn't. Yet everything that couldn't happen,

Happened.
