The Touch of Sakura (Tomoe x Reader)

Chapter 22: The Goddess Catches a Cold

(Y/N)'s POV

I shifted sides in the futon,pulling the duvet over my head.I felt so tired and out of energy,I just wanted to block out all the sunrays and spend the entire day in bed.

"Achoo!"

I rubbed my nose and curled into a ball,the duvet still over my whole body.

"I don't want to get up." I muttered and sneezed again.

"(Y/N) breakfast is ready!Come and eat up otherwise we'll be late for school!" I heard Nanami yell.

I frowned as I heard her command.School.I had no possible intensions for actually attending that place,all we do is study,that's boring and annoying.Well I suppose some classes are nice but still,the majority of school and the activities we do there are just a whole lot of pointless.

"(Y/N)!" my thoughts were rudely interrupted by an impatient cry of Nanami.

My eyes snapped open so I could roll them. "Yeah,yeah,coming." I mumbled grumpily and rolled myself out of my comfortable and warm futon.

After I had managed to get myself on my feet I started to feel changes.I didn't feel that great,I felt sick and weak.

I sneezed again and felt the urge to blow my nose,grabbing a box of tissues I was thankfully able to solve that problem,I stuffed my pockets with tissues though,just in case.

Dragging my feet behind myself,I exited my room and set my steps towards the kitchen.

"Good morning!" Nanami's happy voice rang in my ears.

"Morning." I said slowly and sneezed for the 3rd time,I felt Nanami's concerned stare on me as I made my way to the table and sat down with difficulties.

"(Y/N) you look bad,are you sick?" she asked carefully,trying to get a look of my face.

"N-no,I'm fiii-achooo!" my sentence was cut off by the 4th sneeze of this morning. "Maybe just a little cold." I quiqkly added and grabbed a tissue from my pocket.

She continued to glance at me usurely,as if she wanted to tell me something,I kept ignoring her concerned stare and looked in front of myself instead,fighting the urge to close my eyes and fall asleep.

"You must've caught a cold when we went ice skating,I told you that you should've dressed properly." Tomoe said strictly.

I had no will to listen to his long speech about how I should do this and that,his lectures seriously annoyed me,I wasn't his daughter who he could order around,it should be the other way around.Not that Tomoe would be my daughter,I mean that I should be the one ordering him around.

While I was having a dialog with myself I also decided that it would be a great idea to get on my feet and go change my clothes.Now,the fact I didn't consider was how well,in reality,was I able to remain my balance.And as I had gotten on both of my feet you could take a guess about my balance.But lets say I wasn't that helpless.Yet.I managed to actually stay on my feet,now the question is how long I will be able to remain this pose.

I decided that I will not show out the fact that I'm,well kind of helpless,and just act like it's all okay.

I coughed my throat clear and started to take too confident steps towards my room.I kept saying myself that I feel fine,besides I had a test today,oh common it can't be that bad.I looked past the fact that I problably had a fever,I really felt weak and sick.

I took a deep breath and took another step,walking past Tomoe whose back was facing us,I saw him cut something.Good.This way he can't look at me and possibly say or do something.
