---------

(E/C) eyes fluttering open, the first thing you felt was a pounding headache. Great . You raised a hand to your forehead, running a hand though your hair; then, you realised your chest was staining with each breath, and a gritty cough escaped your lips. Groaning, you flung the duvet cover off you, and at up, rubbing the sleep from your eyes, and swung your legs over the side of the bed. Your skin felt clammy, and you quickly realised that you were definitely sick.

Only, this was the day of a mission, with the one and only Akutagawa- if he found out you were ill, he'd only call you weak and to get a hold of yourself, you thought. Sighing, you trudged into the kitchen and flicked the kettle on- a good herbal tea might make you feel better...

----

The tea didn't make you feel better. Staring down into the empty mug, flopped over your sofa with the morning news playing quietly on the TV, you could've easily remained seated there all day. Yet, you powered onwards, dragging yourself to your feet and back into the kitchen, you placed the mug in the sink and opened up a nearby cupboard; reaching for the box of pain killers, you popped out a couple pills and swallowed them whole. Then, slowly making your way into the bathroom, you began to run yourself a shower.

This was going to be a long, long day.

----

A couple minutes late, you barged into the Mafia building, seemingly fine, and approached Akutagawa, who lent against the wall, an impatient scowl on his face.

"You're late." He snapped, beginning to walk away.

"Whatever, I've had a lot to deal with this morning." You said angrily; he paused, surprised by the tone you took with him. He kept his mouth shut though, and walked just that little bit fasted, deeper into the building. You followed, beginning to feel the pain returning to your head. But, you ignored the throbbing, trailing behind the man as you both left the room.

----

Now fully outfitted in your black, leather gear, you tugged on a pair of dark gloves, and the two of you approached the doors leading to the back alleys. Akutagawa left first, not bothering to hold the door for you; passing through, you kicked it closed behind you, and walked behind the man, who had left without you. Swallowing, you could feel your stomach becoming queasy, and pausing for a second, the colour drained from your face; whatever bug you'd caught, it was a nasty one. This time, Akutagawa spun around to face you, frustrated by your slow pace.

"(Y/N), you're not usually this slow, get a hold of yourself!" He growled, but his expression changed when you suddenly bent over, shoving a hand over your mouth as your body tried to empty the contents from your stomach. Taking a deep breath, you stood up again, wiping your forehead. Akutagawa stood still, observing your expression with a look you've never seen on his pale face before.

"Come on, let's get this over with." You sighed, brushing past him; you felt a grip around your wrist, though, and you froze in your tracks.

"(Y/N)," His tone was quieter this time, "Go back, I'll finish this."

You would admit, this shocked you, completely.

"Really?" You asked, pleasantly surprised.

"I don't want you messing up the mission."
