Ryuji Sakamoto x Fem!Reader (P5)

Usually you'd be  at school during the week, but unfortunately you were hit with the flu, and you were forced to stay in bed and suffer the symptoms.

Your parents had work, so you told them you'd be fine on your own. You were mostly tired anyway. Your friends such  as Ann and Makoto had already texted you as well, so they were keeping you company although you weren't at school.

Ann: Hey! Sorry you're not well, I'll come by after school with a ton of sweets, ok? 

Makoto: Don't eat too many though, you'll feel worse. Make sure to take some medicine. 

The messages made you smile. Your friends were so kind in their own ways. The only person who hadn't texted to you was a certain dyed-blond boy, but maybe he had better things to do. 

Your fever had started to make you feel woozy, so you lay back on your pillows, the softness of your mattress inviting you into a peaceful slumber. Your eyes slowly closed, and you slept. 

Ding, dong!

...That's strange, you were sure you turned off your alarm clock. 

With a bit of irritation, you felt around your bedside table, waving your hand in the air in search of the source of the noise. 

Ding dong!

"Ugh, where is it...?" You muttered to yourself, your eyes now peeking open.

Glancing over at your bedside table, you were surprised to see it was completely bare save for a glass of water your miraculously didn't knock over and a half eaten piece of toast. Touching it, it was freezing cold. 

How long had you slept for? 

Ding dong!

Now being awake, you recognised the repetitive sound as your doorbell. Being rudely awakened from your peaceful sleep, you begrudgingly walked over to the door, opening it before the person behind it could make any more noise.

"What is it? We don't need any insurance, okay?!"

There was a silence. You looked up, wiping the crust from your eyes. 

Ryuji stood there with one raised eyebrow, an amused expression on his face. 

"Nah, I'm not here to sell insurance. You're sick, right?" He asked. 

You hesitated, still surprised. "Um, yeah... Wait, why are you here?"

"Why wouldn't I? Ann told me your parents weren't here, so that's why I am." He explained. 

You paused, giving him a disappointed look. "I didn't know you were that type of guy, Ryuji..." 

His eyes shot open, stepping back slightly. "Huh?! What d'ya mean by that?!"

Seeing his face flush slightly made you break your character, giggling coming out of your mouth. 

"Heehee, sorry. Still though, you should be at school." You reprimanded lightly. He rubbed the back of his neck with a soft frown.

"Yeah, but... I figured, since no one else is home, I'd come help. Plus, you can barely take care of yourself." He added with a sly grin. Now your cheeks were the ones going pink.

"Hey, I can take care of myself fine!" You argued. Just as you said so, a dizzy spell hit you. Your stance started to waver. 

"O-Oi, be careful!" Ryuji's voice raised out of panic, and he quickly reached out and grabbed your hand, helping you stand.
