Sawatari Eigo was walking around the peaceful school hallway, enjoying the calmness of his surroundings when he saw something strange. Standing (or more like leaning) on the walls was his middle school schoolmate, Nayuki Tooru. The cream-colored haired teen was using the walls as a support, and he noticed how dazed the soft yellow eyes were when the said teen opened them. Concerned, Sawatari approached Nayuki gently.
"Nayuki, are you okay?" Sawatari asked, noting how pale the smaller teen was compared to his usual complexion.
"Ah... Sawatari-kun," Nayuki said, acknowledging Sawatari's presence with a small but forced smile as he tried to fight off whatever he was feeling. "Y-yeah. I'm fine..."
"Are you sure?" Sawatari asked, noticing the reddish-pink tint on Nayuki's unusual pale face. "You don't look so good."
"I'm sure." Nayuki said as he started smiled at Sawatari. "Thanks for the concern, but I'm really fine. Ah! I still have to make dinner," And with that, Nayuki started walking.
Sawatari was observing the smaller teen when it suddenly happened, Nayuki collapsed. He ran towards Nayuki and caught him before the cream-colored haired teen hit the floor. Sawatari's eyes widen as he realized how high Nayuki's temperature was.
Throughout the years of taking care of Tatsumi whenever he's sick, Sawatari knew what to do. He needed to put Nayuki in bed, lower his temperature and find out what caused this fever. He also needs to find all of the members of Team Otori and inform them of their teammate's condition.
"Inumine is missing again~" A familiar voice was suddenly heard from the silence of the place. Ugawa.
"I'm sure Tatsumi's with him." Another familiar voice. Toraishi.
"Toraishi! Ugawa!" Sawatari said urgently, knowing that they will hear his voice.
It didn't take a minute before Toraishi and Ugawa's running footsteps were heard, approaching the brown haired teen.
"Sawatari?! Are you okay?!" Toraishi asked.
Ugawa's eyes widen when he saw Nayuki on Sawatari's arms. "Is he-"
"I'm fine." Sawatari said, looking at his two teammates. "He's not. Can you help me and find the rest of the Team Otori?"
Toraishi and Ugawa only nodded before running once more, only this time to find the members of Team Otori.
Sawatari stood up while making Nayuki comfortable on his arms before running off to the dormitories.
