Ch 8 - Sickness

What the hell happened to you? And what is the next course of action while you are recovering? Time to see how you're doing.

Enjoy.

~~~~~

You woke up in a bed. You had no idea who's it was. "Huh?" You felt weak and your head burning. "Where the hell am I?"

Princess Latifa was in a chair waiting for you. "I'm here to look after you. You passed out."

"I what?" You tried to get out of bed but were too weak. Your strength just seems gone. "What's wrong with me?"

"You passed out in the office. Right in front of all the girls. Sir Kanie and Seiya escorted you here."

"They carried me? Man I'm a smuck." In front of Muse too. Man that's embarassing.

"How many hours did you sleep last night?"

"Uhhhh....."

"Don't you dare lie to me."

"Yes Princess. Three? Four?"

"Along with all that work you put in that's not enough. How long has this been going on. Since you started?"

"Kinda..." Oh boy here it comes.

"You are granted sick leave. Your temperature is 102° F."

"I have a fever, I'm weak, and just gassed. Great. Dance in two days. Wonderful. Can I do paperwork maybe?"

"Sir (FN)." She glarred at you. She meant business.

"Fine. I'll catch up on sleep. Goodnight."

"I left a gallon of water for fluids. Now get some rest. I will have someone check on you for a while."

"Fine. Till then." God dammit. To think I let myself get to this. I was ready to ask my crush out and I pass out on the floor flat. Why? Feel like damaged goods.

Princess Latifa exited the infirmary as the fairies felt sorry. After the whole dancing thing, saving the park from the flood, and writing thousands of words a night caught up with you. Just sulking in a bed. Paperwork sounded really good in comparison.

"He okay?" Asked Muse.

"Little strength, fever, and that's really it. He's annoyed but he gets it."

"Guess we leave him for a bit." Pondered Kobory.

"How'd he get that way?" Asked Salama.

"He said he's been sleeping for three to four hours a night since he got here. Work, writing, Sir Kanie giving him tasks. No wonder his body gave up. Too much stress."

"Wow... wouldn't think. I mean his stories are good but he should sleep." Frowned Muse.

"Agreed."

Latifa and all the girls meet Seiya a long side the office building. He's shaking his head on what just happened. Latifa smiles.

"How's he doing Princess?"

"Well Sir Kanie, he has a fever, some shakes, and little strength. He worked himself too hard. After some sleep and plenty of fluids maybe he's up for it."

"Up for what Latifa?"

"He didn't finish dancing lessons with me or Sylphy."

"But..... What about me?" Muse asked sadly.
