Since I caught a cold from sharky, I decided to sleep in for the fourth day in a row, only to be awakened by the noise of my front door closing. In a state of confusion and discomfort, I stood up cautiously, moving quietly towards my bedroom door, overwhelmed by my overthinking. I was anxious at the thought of a potential intruder.

When I look towards the front door I see sharky at my kitchen counter with a grocery bag. A sigh of relief left my mouth knowing I gave him the extra key to the apartment in case of emergencies. I walked towards him "you almost gave me a heart attack you know"

He turned around, almost startled "Oh no, did I wake you?"

I went to get myself a cup of water "dont worry about it sharks I shouldnt sleep all day. Plus its been getting lonely around here"

He nods "i missed you, I haven't seen you for practically a week"

"i didnt wanna make the rest of the boys sick"

He scoffs "That doesnt mean you disappear"

I playfully roll my eyes "What's in the bag"

"Dont worry about that but good news! It's just you and me all day, we're gonna make sure you feel perfect by tonight"

"Sharky, I can't let you just babysit me"

He gets up from his seat as he pushes me towards the sofa "go on relax, you did this for me when I was sick. It's time for you to be my patient"

I laughed while sitting on the sofa. Feeling grateful to have someone that's willing to just spend a day taking care of me.

Sharky and I, who had both moved away from our families to further Beta Squad, found comfort in each other through our lifelong friendship. People may think there's something going on, but our relationship is platonic. Though I acknowledge that we don't have a typical friendship and on occasion do things in ways that could be viewed as more, but it's only because we spent our childhoods together and are so close.

I obviously can't deny that i've always found sharky attractive, he always has been. I used to have a huge crush on him but ive learnt to push my feelings aside after realizing it's not mutual.

Sharky has now been gone for 15 minutes as I sat on the sofa just scrolling through my pinterest board. "You okay in the kitchen?"

"Of course, im a top chef just 2 more minutes ali"

Sharky is the only person who calls me ali but I like when he does, i like the way it sounds coming from him.

"Be safe"

I earned back a hummed response as I decided to turn on my tv and look for a movie to watch.

Sharky then came and placed a tray down on the table. I look at the tray to see a bowl of soup with a cup of peppermint tea.

Looking at the tray still amazed that sharky actually managed to do this "thank you, this is so sweet"

I then look beside me to see sharky sitting right next to me, i shift to the other side saying "cmon sharky i don't want you to get sick"

He laughs putting his arm around me and pulling me closer "come on ali I was the one who got you sick"

I laugh as I feel my body sink into sharkys, my head in his shoulder as my legs were on top of his. I look back at the tray "seriously sharky thank you for the food it looks amazing"

He looks down and smiles at me as he leans and gets the tray putting it on his lap "hopefully it tastes amazing"

He puts a spoonful of the soup into my mouth, feeding me, with both of us trying not to laugh. "It's actually really good sharky"

He smiles looking really proud of himself. I take the tray from him as I cross my legs and lay it on my legs.

"What are we watching"

I shrug my shoulders grabbing the remote as I flipped through the movies, until I landed on 10 things I hate about you. I looked at sharky smiling

"No, we watch this movie everytime" he whines

"Pleasee" I pout

He sighs "just start it"

I smile as I press start.
