"Ayano.." he paused, "Why do you look better in my clothes than I do?" he sighed.
"Ah don't be silly, I like the Budo aesthetic!"
"You make me sound like a tumblr teen." he laughed. "Achoo! Ughhhhhhh."
"Bed, now." I ordered.
"I like where this is going."
"Shut up." I laughed, "You're sick, get some rest." I tucked him in, sitting on the bed next to him.
"Will you take care of me Miss Aishi~?" he pouted.
"Consider me your personal nurse."
"Oh hells yes." he sat up, "Will there be a nurse outfit?"
"Be quiet!" I laughed, hitting him with a pillow.
"Hey! That's a valid question!" he smirked, before beginning to cough, "Oh nurse~" he put his hand to his head, "I think I need mouth to mouth!"
"Is that so?" I asked, moving closer to him.
"It is indeed." he smiled, moving closer to me.
"Well Master Budo.." I stopped when I was no more than a centimetre away from his face. "That would spread germs and make me sick so I'm afraid you'll have to go without it."
"W-Wha-" he blushed as I stood up. "You're evilllll."
"Bad to the bone~" I winked.
"Ayaaaaa!!" he shouted angrily.
"Toodles~!" I left the room and closed the door behind me, walking downstairs. I entered the kitchen and was instantly bombarded with the amazing aroma of Shinobi's cooking. "Mmmmmm."
"I'm glad someone around here appreciates my cooking." he laughed, "Budo didn't make you come and get his dinner, did he?"
"Oh, no sir. He's sick so I'm taking care of him." I smiled.
"That's awfully nice of you Ayano, just don't let him take advantage of you. Especially if he tries to pull any moves on you that you're not comfortable with."
"I'm sure he wouldn't sir." I laughed.
"Well he is my son so I'm assuming that's where his.. suggestive side comes from."
"Is he like this with all the girls?" I asked, grabbing a tray to put our food on.
"You might be surprised to hear this but no, he's only like that towards you. We actually thought he liked men for a while until one day he begged us to let him be hired as your protection agent. I'm pretty certain he has-"
"DAD! That's quite enough!" he shouted before coughing.

*Ding Dong~*

Budo rushed over to the door and looked a little disappointed when he saw who it was.

"Hey Budo, what's up? Can I come in?"
"N-Now's not a good time." he tried to close the door, but was stopped by a shoe.
"Bro we always play on your Ybox after school." was that who I thought it was?
"Taro, I'm sick." he sniffed.
"So what? You were at school this morning."
"I was sent home." Budo started getting annoyed.
"I'll go bail him out." Shinobi started walking before I stopped him.
"Don't worry." I smiled, "I've got this."

I put my head upside down and messed up my hair a little, then undid some buttons and made myself look a little more untidy.

"But we can still play-"
"Sorry Taro~" I walked over and hugged Budo from behind. "We have some private business to attend to, so unfortunately Budo can't game with you tonight~"
"Seriously Budo?" he looked at me and back at his friend.
"Hot babe or game night?" Budo smirked at me, "I know what I'm choosing, bye Taro!" he started closing the door.
"Bu-" Taro was cut off by Budo slamming the door.
"You're welcome." I let go of him, tidying myself up a little.
"Ughhhhhhh I wish I wasn't sick." he remained flustered while looking at me. "You love Taro, why would you do that?"
"If I loved Taro would I have pretended to have sex with you?" I asked making Budo pause to think.
"Well I mean who needs pretending, am I right?"
"You're ill." I rolled my eyes.
"Woah woah I was only joking." he laughed, "But I might have to take you up on that offer once I'm feeling better~"
"Fuck boi." I laughed.
"A fuck boi is a player that just wants to sleep with every girl he meets. It isn't called a fuckboi when I only like yo-" he stopped himself. "Ugh the point is I was joking about sleeping with you, got it? Unlike fuckbois like Taro, I have more respect for women than I do for myself."
"So you wouldn't sleep with me even if I wanted to?"
"Dinner smells great dad!" he ran into the kitchen.
"Hey come back here!" I laughed, running after him.

I picked up the tray and began to carry it upstairs. I ordered Budo to sit up in his bed and placed the tray on his lap. I sat on the opposite side of the bed and ate my own dinner while talking to him.

"You should stay home from school."
"I can't." he coughed, "We only have 4 days to kill Megami."
"That's my job Budo." I picked up our tray of empty plates and cups, "You should stay home and get better."
"Our job."
"Huh?"
"I'm your partner Ayano." he smiled, "It's our job."
"Not this time Budo." I kissed him on the forehead and then took the tray into the kitchen. I insisted on washing up but Shinobi was stubborn and did it himself. I thanked him and returned to Budo who was now leaning over the toilet throwing up.
"You can.. go home." he didn't look at me. His skin was as pale as a ghost and he was shivering too.
"I'm not going anywhere." I sat next to him and help his hand. "What kind of nurse would I be if I left you?"
"Hmm, a pretty shit one." he laughed, "But seriously Ayano go ho-"
"No."
