Mr.Not-So-Perfect

Chapter 19

"AACHOOOOO"

I can't control it anymore.

"A-ACHOOOO"

"Hahahahah", I burst out laughing.

When I fell into the fountain, Advay laughed at my expense the entire day. Never in my life, I did think that the roles can be reversed and for once, I'd be the one to laugh at others' embarrassment. Advay being the one embarrassed made it all the more amusing.

"If you are finished with your laughing we better start moving because class is about to s-AACHOOO", I doubled over hearing him sneeze for the hundredth time since this morning. After I collected myself he dragged me to the class with a scowl and, of course, the occasional sneezes.

Once we reached the class I took my usual seat. Today Ravvs and Evan did not accompany me to the classes because they want to take a break so decided to spend the day alone. So, Advay volunteered to pick me up.

My mind drifted to the party. When Ravvs interrupted our moment, I pushed Advay away from me to which he stumbled and fell into the pool which made Ravvs run over to us and help him out. Fortunately, Ravvs did not question Advay and I's presence at the pool, alone. Turns out, she just came out to inform that the competition was about to start. Advay left the party, claiming he is not in a mood to party anymore, after the pool incident. I did not participate in that competition because Riddanth went missing. Ravvs and Evan won that competition, obviously and soon after we left.

Now Advay is suffering the aftereffects of his fall in the pool and leaving the party in wet clothes. The lecturer's voice brought me back from the memories.

Pretty much half of the day went on the same, him sneezing and me laughing. Since, he was in all my classes it made ten times more entertaining. But his condition worsened as the day progressed which made me worry. During lunch I noticed that he was burning with fever.

"Advay, I think you should leave and take rest", I suggested, with worry evident in my tone.

"I know but I don't think I can drive in this condition", Advay replied with tired tone.

Just when I need Evan and Ravvs the most, they decided to go for picnic.

I sighed. I realized I did not have much of a choice than to take care of Advay myself.

"Give me your keys", I ordered Advay, who did it without any complaint.

I took him to my apartment because I don't know where he lives and even if I did, I don't want him suffer alone, without having anyone to take care of him.

Soon after we reached the apartment, I helped Advay to lie down on my bed. I made him take medicines and fed him soup, which I learned from my mother, to help him in fast recovery. I then took a clean damp cloth and spread it across his forehead to bring his temperature, also a technique I learned from my mother. Once, I was sure that his temperature decreased I left him alone to make dinner.

"Hey", Ravvs greeted after seeing me in the kitchen.

"Hi", I responded back without looking at her stirring the Rasam.

"What are doing", she asked sitting on a stool near the counter.

"I'm preparing Rasam for Advay", I answered.

"Advay?", she asked with confusion and then I explained to her everything that happened since morning.

"I hope it is okay for you if he stays over until he is fine", I asked with a pleading expression.
