!SHITHOLE!

nightfall has arrived and now the four men are deciding on their sleeping arrangements. rai, being the host, was alright sharing his room with anyone. sukuna was about to gladly accept the offer before yuuji had beaten him to it and decided that the two siblings would sleep in the same room. that leaves megumi sleeping with rai.

"i can sleep on the couch," rai suggested instead. "rai-san, it's your room. i'll sleep on the couch," fushiguro butted in. "you're my guest, it's my duty as the host. i'll be fine fushiguro, i promise," rai said, cutting off fushiguro who was about to give another word.

"now all of you rest. it's 10 pm. i'll be here if you need me," he ushered the three and after a long bickering back and forth (mostly rai and fushiguro), they all went to their respective rooms. rai wanted to sleep a little later on and instead decided to binge watch a show, how i met your mother. it was a classic sitcom he enjoyed.

from the moment fushiguro had entered his host' room, the smell of amberwood along with some citrus immediately fills his nose. fushiguro had noticed the distinctive smell ever since he came in the house and whenever rai was near, yet in rai's room, the smell had doubled the strength.

the scent brought comfort on fushiguro's mind, distracting him from the mysteries of his sister. ever since the day he saw tsumiki change, his mind has always been stuck on her image. he missed her, badly. her smile, her food, her energy, and her comfort.

his mind kept shifting on the grotesque sight he saw on his house. tsumiki's room was a mess, a whole contrast against the rest of the house. bloodied trails of scratches left along the walls with clear signs of struggle based on the furniture tossed around and broken.

fushiguro decided to just close his eyes and hope the image would leave his mind, eventually drifting to dream land.

a few hours in his show, rai heard grunting noises from a room. he paused the show he was watching before picking up a baseball bat to inspect said noise. now his moves were very 'character that dies first' in a horror movie, but he wasn't just going to sit there and do nothing.

upon closer inspection, rai deducted the noise was coming from his bedroom, where fushiguro was sleeping(?). he slowly creaked the door open once finding it was unlocked and was greeted by the darkness that hugged everywhere. the only source of light being the moonlight that shone through the translucent blinds.

there he saw fushiguro, eyes still shut yet he was letting out groans of pain. rai inched closer to the boy, reaching his hands towards fushiguro only to quickly retreat it back due to the high temperature of said boy. with that, rai hurriedly went to his bathroom to soak a few small towels before placing them on the younger's forehead.

he stroked the black hair a few times, attempting to calm and wake him from the horrid nightmare fushiguro seemed to be experiencing. rai whispered soothing words over and over again, successfully awakening fushiguro with a gasp. the older man could see fushiguro's red eyes and face flushed turn towards him.

"you're okay sweetie, you just had a little fever," rai soothed, moving the blanket covering fushiguro's body away from him. the younger one tried to sit up only to be stopped by rai's bigger hands pushing him down by his shoulder. "just lay down, i'll draw a bath for you," with that the golden eyed man disappeared into the bathroom.

fushiguro was still trying to gather his breath after his nightmare, rubbing his face in stress and agony. his body felt so hot yet he was shivering. after a few minutes of rai fixing a bath, he entered the room back to see his younger companion has shrunk into a ball.

"fushiguro? your bath is ready. come on let's cool you down," he placed his hand on the burning male. fushiguro laid his feet on the floor, struggling to stand up on his wobbling feet. everything is shaky to him. rai who immediately took notice of the situation, wraps his arms around the boy and princess carry the spiky haired towards the bathroom.

the warmness of rai's body heat made fushiguro yearning for more, and so through the small time he was carried, fushiguro leaned closer to the older male, hearing his heartbeat. "don't fall asleep on me now, we still need to lower your temperature."

as the two approached the bathroom, rai settled fushiguro down on his feet, confirming he was able to clean himself, before giving the boy some privacy. the first contact with the water, fushiguro had relaxed, sinking his entire body into the lukewarm water.

a few minutes later, he heard a knock on the door, who he assumed was rai. allowing the older to come in with a few words, fushiguro was met with the sight of rai holding a change of clothes and a clean towel. "time to get up, prince. the water's getting cold," rai set the fabrics on the sink before turning back to leave the bathroom.

splash of waters could be heard as fushiguro got up, quickly drying himself before wearing the new set of clothes. it confused fushiguro a bit since the fabric are on the thinner side along with some knee length shorts, he surely thinks he's going to freeze in that room.

the sound of footsteps nearing the host's bedroom alert the man. once fushiguro had entered his sight, rai quickly ushered the boy to lay back down on the bed. passing him a medicine and a glass of water, rai stayed quiet looking at fushiguro.

"aren't these clothes a little bit too thin?" fushiguro spoke out. "your body needs to release heat, not trap them. wearing thicker clothes will only worsen the fever. now, do you need anything else before i leave you to rest?" rai held the warm hands, stroking it gently.

"you... stay ...me," fushiguro mumbled and rai barely caught on. "i'm sorry, could you please repeat that, sugar?" "can you please stay here with me?" fushiguro repeated with a flush on his face, his volume still low yet this time rai could only smile at the boy's request. "of course."

rai climbed onto the bed, settling in beside the sick boy before opening his arms for fushiguro to lay on. the younger wasn't sure on where he got the confidence to close in on rai, perhaps it was the medicine making him sleepy or the heat from his body crawled to his brain, unconsciously cuddling further to chase rai's body heat.

fushiguro could feel his face grew warmer at the smell of rai's musk and the way the older's hand wraps around him, holding him closer. fushiguro could only hope that rai thinks his face is red due to his fever, not his touch.

with rai stroking fushiguro's hair gently, the younger was lulled into dreamland. mind filled with the embracing warmth and scent of the older male. rai looked down at the boy on his chest after feeling his breathing slowing down only to see fushiguro dead asleep, cheeks pressed against his pecs.

"night gumi," rai said before he closed his eyes, sleep consuming him effectively.
