Kitten Sneezes ~ Cryde (Boy X Boy)

Kitten Sneezes ~ Cryde

CRAIG'S POV

I let out yet another sneeze as I lay in bed, feeling shittier than ever. I couldn't breathe out my nose, my eyes felt heavier than cement blocks, and being confined to my bed was absolutely boring.

No, not the nice type of boring where you can relax and think about things, but rather the type of boring where you sit around all day wanting to screech your guts out over what you can and can't do.

The sound of knocking against my door interrupted my mental rant, the angry thoughts giving way to curiosity. "Uh...come in." I called out as loud as I could...but that didn't exactly say much. Luckily whoever it was managed to hear me, and stepped into the room with his hands behind his back and a goofy grin on his face.

"Ello Craig!" Clyde greeted me cheerfully. "What do you want?" I muttered, blowing my nose on the blanket. "Dude, gross! Take a tissue." the other boy's lips curled in distaste as he freed one hand from behind his back to throw me a small plastic packet of tissues.

I grunted in appreciation, too lazy to say thank you properly. I felt a sneeze coming up. I covered my nose with a tissue before letting it out, following with two more only seconds after. Clyde laughed, taking a seat at my desk and sitting backwards to face me. "Dude, your sneezes are so tiny...they're like kitten sneezes." he remarked.

I rolled my eyes, aware of a small blush beginning to form on my cheeks. Damn my paleness! "Don't be embarrassed, Craig, I'll bet the chicks would be all over you if you sneezed around them." Clyde chuckled. "Yeah, yeah, don't get used to it." I retorted.

"Anyways, wanna go somewhere right now if you're feeling a bit better?" he asked, a small glint of hope in his eyes. He's planning something, isn't he...? I thought. Typical Clyde.

I slumped onto my back, shifting the covers so that they covered all but the top half of my head. "Even if I was, my mom said I can't get out of bed till I'm fully healthy since she doesn't want it spreading." I told him.

It was true. My mom said strictly not to get out of bed, and that somebody would bring food and stuff to me.

Clyde snorted with amusement. "You're confined to the bed? What are you, Sleeping Beauty?" he asked jokingly. I rolled my eyes but couldn't keep in an amused smile. "Ah, yes, and I assume you're the Prince that has come to molest me in my sleep?" I smirked, referring to the original tale of Sleeping Beauty rather than the clean version.

His humorous smile turned into an appalled grimace. "Aw, sick dude!" he cried. It was my turn to laugh now. "Don't take that seriously, Clyde, you know it was a joke." I said between giggles.

"I know, I know, but seriously. Just...no." he sighed. I noticed that he still had a hand behind his back; he was obviously hiding something.

"So Clyde, what's that behind your back?" I asked bluntly. A look of realization crossed his face, as if he'd just figured out that it was there in the first place. "Oh, yeah, right." he said, drawing it out from behind his back. It was a fluffy stuffed animal...a kitten? It had poofy white fur and large, beady green eyes. I'll admit, since I had a giant soft spot for animals, that it was adorable.

"It'll keep you company when I'm not here to visit your sick ass." Clyde told me, placing it beside me. He hesitated before gingerly ruffling my hair. "Besides, it fits since you've got kitten sneezes. Neat, eh?"

"Shut up Clyde!" I retorted, blushing half because of how he described my sneezes and half because he petted me on the head...not that I'd ever admit it to him. Shut up, you'd blush too if your crush...

...crap, did I just call Clyde my crush?

"Anyways, since you can't come out with me today, I guess my other surprise will just have to wait till another day." the aforementioned brunet said, casually sitting next to me, "Seeya, Craig."

He walked over to the door and stopped. "Oh, and by the way, your hair is really soft." he craned his neck to look at me, a lighthearted smirk on his face. "Just like a kitten's."

FIN.
