Triple The Fun

Chapter 11

"Achoo!!"

A cute little sneeze resonated throughout Takano's apartment. And we all know where the origin of this sneeze is from. It's from the youngest Onodera, who was currently under the weather. It had been two days since Ricchan had fallen sick. At first it wasn't anything serious, just little sneeze and sniffles here and there but yesterday was when things took a turn for the worst. Ricchan's body temperature had went up, his face became bright red, and he kept sneezing. He was instantly brought to the bed, and with the help of a thermometer, it was confirmed that Ricchan had 102 Fahrenheit fever. The night had somehow passed by with Takano and Ritsu there to nurse the boy, both adults worried sick. And when morning came, Takano being Takano, announced without taking anyone's opinion that he was taking Ricchan to the hospital.

So that is why, right now, with Ritsu's help, Takano was getting Ricchan dressed. It was a good thing Takano had bought Ricchan some clothes beforehand. It was true that Takano's expenses had gone up after Oda and Ricchan's arrival but he didn't care. His pay was more than enough to support their two guests. Plus Takano didn't mind working a little harder for Ritsu's younger selves.

"There we go." Takano offered a small smile to the young boy after he had finished wrapping a warm scarf around him. He picked Ricchan up and held him securely in his arms. Takano grabbed his necessary things like wallet and phone and stuffed them in his pocket.

"Let's go." Takano announced, gesturing towards Ritsu. The two adults walked over to the genkan and started putting their shoes on. Oda stood close to them, watching them. Ritsu wouldn't lie but he was feeling kind of embarrassed but he was more worried about Ricchan to pay attention to his own feelings.

"We're off now. Ritsu-Kun, be safe and watch over the house, okay?" Takano turned towards the teenager just in time to see the boy nod.

"H-Hai Saga-Senpai!"

"Ittekimasu."

With that, Takano and Ritsu walked out of the door with Ricchan.

Takano resisted the urge of wanting to press down harder on the pedal as he drove his car. Ritsu was situated beside him in the passenger with little Ricchan on his lap. The boy's face was flushed red and Takano thanked God that his fever hadn't risen since last night.

Takano kept his amber eyes on the road ahead of him but he couldn't help but peek glances at the two brunettes beside him.

Good thing there wasn't much traffic so they were able to reach the hospital pretty quickly. But the weather wasn't on their side. The sky was already cloudy when Takano was driving but it started to rain slightly when Takano parked his car. It was a good thing Takano always kept an umbrella in his car.

Opening the door and taking the umbrella, Takano got out and held the umbrella over head before walking to the passenger side. He opened the door for Ritsu and the brown haired man got out with Ricchan in his arm. He quickly got under the umbrella to avoid getting wet. The two started to head towards the entrance. There was a bit of pink on Ritsu's cheeks from embarrassment but there is really nothing he could do about it. So he just sucked it up and paid no attention towards it.

They eventually made it inside the building. Takano closed his umbrella and walked over to the reception. He had made an appointment beforehand so they wouldn't have to wait long. Ritsu stood just a little behind Takano, his arms tightly holding onto the little boy while one of his hands secured the scarf around him. His green eyes held worry in them as he gazed at Ricchan's flushed face.

"Come on, let's go." Ritsu looked up to see Takano gesturing him to follow him after he had finished paying at the reception. He nodded and started following the tall man. After walking through some corridors, they stopped in front of one of the many door aligned in the hallway. The nurse knocked on the door and almost immediately came the doctor's reply.
