Candle: Splatoon Manga AU:

Chapter #6

You got moved elsewhere, to a place with more medical tools than your dorm. 

And Army was currently checking your temperature again, you seemed to have quite a high temperature. 

Since there wasn't much he could do in the moment, he sat close to you and was reading a book, even making your hand move will trigger a cutscene or whatever, what if he could hear your thoughts? 

That wouldn't be shocking, but still. 

You continued lying there in defeat. 

You lied there for a while.. and a while.. and a VERY long while. 

But lastly, you fell asleep after quite a bit. 

Army patted your head and let you rest. 

-

You awoken, it was lunch.

Army sat beside you still, writing in his manual..

You tried to sit up, but bonked your head on something.

"ouch-" You quietly let out under your breath..

Army glared at you, "Ah, I see your awake again, Y/N."

"I'll make you some soup." Army said as he left the room for a moment to make you some soup. 

A wash of a relief wave washed right over you in that moment. 

You took some deep breaths. 

You sat up, and your head was stinging, with your vision hazy..

You couldn't.. feel anything.. 

You were gonna collapse.. feeling so nauseous and such.. 

Army ran inside with your soup and then quickly placed it down, you blinked, and he was in front of you, only saw him yelling if you were okay, but you couldn't hear it, all you heard was a ringing sound. 

And then it went dark. 

- 

Or so you thought.. 

... 

In a matter of seconds, you snapped back to reality and could feel again. 

"Y/N!" Army shouted at you, almost making you fall over.. 

You were heavily breathing a ton, while Army leaned you next to him. 

"Maybe this isn't just a fever.." Army added quickly after. 

Army quickly grabbed some extra pillows, and placed them behind where you'd usually lay, so you could sit up and have your soup. 

Army was quite worried for you. 

But you managed to have your soup without knocking yourself out, it tasted great. 

He patted your head and let you rest a bit more.

- 

But atlas, after a tiring and poor day of a terrible fever, you finally felt better. 

And he escorted you back to your dorm, after all, it was already past curfew. 

He looked satisfied, that he was able to help you today. 

Then lastly you made it to your dorm, and he shut the door on you, how wonderful and pleasant. 

Everyone should've been asleep by now, but you just couldn't seem to. And that's why you turned on your desk light and started writing. 

Before you knew it, it was already 1 in the morning, but you heard footsteps outside your door, you dismissed it, and quickly finished your writing. 

"Y/N, you're still up?" Army's voice came from behind you. 

You sighed before saying, "yeah, I just couldn't sleep." 

He just kept his eyes on you, but he put one of his hands on your shoulder, "you should try again, it's late." He whispered in your ear as you were just placing the writing piece back in your desk drawer. 

You climbed into your bed, but Army didn't leave yet, instead, he walked over to you and patted you on the head light, "sweet dreams Y/N." He said calmly before leaving and shutting the door lightly. 

You slept a lot better after that, and woke up at your normal time, the next day. 

You woke up with a slightly better headache. 

You got dressed and all of that, and drank some water to feel better. 

You grabbed your bag and headed into the hallway. 

You walked through the hallway, but then heard something, you quickly looked behind you and.. 

*CRASH!* 

You accidentally bumped into another student, you felt bad. 

You helped them up and asked them if they were okay, & they were fine, luckily this time.. 

The bell rang and you dashed to class and made it just on time! 

You sat in your seat and waited. 

This time you were actually learning about manual study, each member of the class already had a notebook and apparently already got around 4 pages done. 

Meaning that you were behind. 

You tried to catch up as much as you could, and got the 7 new pages down, leaving the first 4 empty. 

This class took up the full day, so Army was patient as heck, bravo for him! 

The class ended off with an announcement of the holiday coming up, and families that wished to bring their family all together at home for the long weekend were welcomed to do so. 

You stayed after class to finish the 4 pages though. 

You didn't care that you were the only one staying behind, you wanted to get the 4 pages done, and Army understood that, almost in the back of his head, respecting it. 

After roughly an hour, you finished and headed back to your dorm. 

It seemed although Army was watching from a distance, either case he thought you'd go outside in the other route again, or that he actually cared about you? 

After realizing you accidentally did a homework assignment twice, it was time to head to the cafeteria for your dinner. 

Surely although you were 2 minutes late, Army seemed busy making the curry and didn't notice. 

You were pretty tired and finished your curry, and was one of the first people done, but you almost passed out in the hall. But you kept yourself up.. 

Until things went down, even you! 

Some grabbed you from the outside window, a few noticed this, and Army was close by and quickly retrieved you, Army scolded you about staying away from open windows when you aren't paying attention, but the last thing you heard from the window, was some silly giggles.. 

You headed back to your dorm after Army patted your head and told you to be safer for now on.
