{Neko Eren x Reader!} I'm Yours...

Chapter 7: Sickness

This morning, you felt your forehead burning as you touched it. Your throat was dry and sore, you could hardly speak. The sun wasn't up yet, but it wasn't night. You look at your clock, '5:32 am'

"E-Eren..." You try to say, coughing loudly.

All of a sudden, a light outside your door turned on. You hear Eren's voice, muffled by your door. "(y/n)? Are you okay?" He also knocks on your door, "I heard you coughing..."

"S-sick..." You say with another cough. This one started to burn your throat badly. It sounded dry and painful.

Eren walks away, yet the light remained on. After some clattering in the kitchen, you hear footsteps to your room, and your door opened. Eren's ears were up, his tail moving back and forth every few seconds.

"E-Eren..." You try again.

Eren hushes you, "Shh... Don't speak, that cough sounds pretty bad..." He helps you sit up in bed, a glass of water in his hand. Carefully, he helps you drink the water, "There there..." He says in a calm voice.

"T-Thanks..." You managed to say. Your throat still burns, but it was no longer dry.

"Heh... Looks like you got sick... I guess it's my turn to take care if you..." He goes off to the hall, turning the light off, then coming back into your room. "I'll stay here until the sun comes up, okay?"

You nod, and weakly saying, "You didn't have to..."

He smiles as he curls up next to you. His ears twiched as his head was next to yours, his tail swept over your body, tickling your skin. "It's my turn to take care of you... (y/n)... It's my turn..."

The sun was in your eyes, waking you from your slumber. Throat was still burning, and the time read '7:58 am'. You turned around to see Eren, still sleeping next to you. You hear a slight purr coming from him and you smiled at how adorable it was. His tail occasionally moved from time to time, ears started to twitch as well.

Suddenly, Eren's eyes started to open. They were filled with drowsiness, slowly waking from it's dream. Blinking serveral times, he smiles at you, "Morning, (y/n)... Feeling a bit better?"

You smiled at him, "Yes... But I still feel terrible..."

"You don't look terrible. You look cute, as always, (y/n)..." He then touched your forehead, "But you're burning a fever..."

"I just feel tired..." You say as you yawned. "And hungry... And sick..."

"Full of emotions, eh? Don't worry, I'll make some soup... What do you prefer?"

Thinking about it, whenever you're sick, you loved to drink chicken noodle soup. "Chicken noodle soup, Eren..."

He smiles at you, twinkling stars in his amber-colored eyes, "Alright, I'll make you some soup..."

*   *   *

After minutes, you find Eren trying to walk carefully to your room with a tray. He approaches closer and you sit up. Carefully, he places the tray on your lap, picking up a spoon.

He dips it into the bowl and carefully lifts it to your lips. "Careful, (y/n)... you don't want to burn yourself..."

You blow on the spoon and then, Eren feeds it to you. He smiles, "M-More..." You say.

Then, Eren laughs, "Of course, (y/n)." He feeds you until the whole bowl of soup was gone. The cooking of his noodles were perfect when they were in the soup... the chicken weren't mushy or anything. Eren... a great cat chef... nice ring to it, right? "Well?" He asks you as he starts to clean the tray. "Did ya like it?"

Smiling, you answered him, "L-Loved it..."

"Heh... for lunch, I'll make you some more soup. For dinner, it's soup again. This time, it's gonna be some really good corn soup. I bet you're gonna love it." He says, handing you a cup of water. "I promise to take really good care of you... (y/n)..."

"I know you can..." You say weakly. Your eyelids become heavy as you blinked. Before you know it, you passed out.

One time, it was Eren who got sick and you took care of him. Now... he's the one that's taking care of you. Isn't that sweet? A little cat- no, a human cat with his childish behavior, that's what Eren is. But... he's so strong and dedicated to help you... he would be the best boyfriend. The real question is, will you accept him as your true love?
