Summer's Big Book Of Oneshots

[KO × Sick!Reader]

Lmao it's a romantic one because I can. I just felt I should warn you.

KO sat in the living room, waiting for Y/n to come out of the bathroom so he could help her.

She was sick and couldn't do a lot of stuff, so he had to help her. Of course, he was happy to. After all, they were best friends.

KO heard the toilet flush and the door open. Y/n came out, barely standing. KO quickly stood up and walked over to help her. He wrapped his around her and placed her arm on his shoulders, supporting her.

"Thanks, KO..." Y/n smiled weakly at him. He smiled back, blushing lightly.

He pretended it wasn't there, but he did have a crush on Y/n. She always considered him a friend, so he thought she didn't like him that way. So he had to keep his crush on her a secret, afraid of being rejected if he told her.

KO walked Y/n to her room, where she had been spending most of the day. She lied down and covered up. Just as KO turned to the door, she called his name.

"KO..." He turned to her. She had her arms out, reaching for him. He smiled and walked up to her, giving her a hug. After a moment, he pulled away. He looked into her eyes. Even when she was sick, they still shined that beautiful e/c color.

KO's eyes widened as she pulled him closer, placing a quick kiss on his cheek. He pulled away, his face redder than a tomato.

"Thanks again..." She said.

"U-Uh... Yeah..." He smiled at her. He then quickly walked out.

He sat down on the couch, his face still red as he thought about it. She just kissed him. But there was no way she meant it in a romantic way. It was probably platonic, like a brother and sister thing. They were only friends, right?

KO leaned back against the couch and closed his eyes, thinking about the kiss. The way her lips were soft even when she was sick, the way her hair smelled when she pulled him close. It was amazing.

He eventually fell asleep, drifting off into deep sleep. It was hours before he woke up again.

When he did wake up, it was because something was on him. He opened one eye and saw Y/n was sitting on the couch, leaning on him. He was surprised by this, his face turning a light shade of red. She was clinging to his arm, asleep and curled up in a ball with her cover.

He didn't want to wake her up, she might still feel bad, so he lifted her up bridal style and carried her back to her bed. As he was walking, he felt her arms wrap around his neck. He looked down and saw her eyes slightly open as she looked up at him.

"Oh, did I wake you up? I'm sorry." KO frowned. Y/n smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"It's okay. I was barely asleep anyway." Y/n said. KO opened the door to her room, careful not to drop her.

He placed her on her bed and covered her up. Y/n smiled and held his hand.

"Stay with me?" She asked. KO smiled and sat on the bed next to her.

"Okay, I'll stay..." He said. She intertwined her fingers with his.

"Thank you..." She mumbled. She turned over, not letting go of his hand as she closed her eyes, going to sleep.

KO had to admit it sooner or later. He was in love with his best friend. She was just amazing to him in so many ways. They both loved heroes, they both love working at the bodega. Heck, even Tko, his darker side, was fond of her.

But he was still wary about it. He didn't want to be rejected. What if she was just doing this to show she was thankful? Or if it was more like a platonic love?

He didn't want to take any chances. So for now, it would stay a secret. If she likes him that way, maybe she'll make the first move.

Y/n stirred around in her sleep. Her hair fell over her face. KO smiled a bit and pushed it back. Instead of pulling his hand away, though, he placed it on her cheek. Her skin was soft, and KO felt like he could cuddle her all day. And her hair was silky and smooth.

KO couldn't take it anymore. He leaned in and placed his lips on hers, kissing her. Her lips were soft, and she smelled like strawberries.

He suddenly felt a pair of arms wrapping around him, surprising him. He pulled away, thinking she was mad, but instead saw a just as surprised Y/n.

"KO... You k-kissed me..." She stuttered, her cheeks red.

"I-I didn't make you mad, did I?" KO asked.

"No, of course not. I was just surprised you liked me back..." Y/n said.

"'Liked you back'? Y-You mean, you like me in that way? But you always said I was your friend..." KO said.

"Because I thought that's what you saw me as. Just a friend..." Y/n said.

"Well, I don't see you as just a friend. I-I've liked you for a long time..." KO smiled a bit. Y/n smiled back.

"I've liked you for a long time, too. At least now I know I won't have to keep it a secret anymore..." Y/n said.

"Me, too..." KO said as he leaned in. He pressed his lips against hers, kissing her again. She pulled him close and placed a hand on his cheek.

A few seconds later, they pulled apart. Y/n sighed.

"You know what sucks?" She asked. KO raised an eyebrow.

"What?" He asked.

"I'm still sick." She said. KO's eyes widened as he sat up.

"Oh, no." He groaned.

~~~

KO coughed and blew his nose. He sighed and laid down next to Y/n.

"Haha, now you get to suffer with me." She smiled at him. KO laughed a bit.

"Yep, you got me sick." He said. Y/n laughed and wrapped her arms around him.

"At least we'll get better together now." She said. KO smiled and hugged her back.

"Yep. We'll get better together..." He mumbled, smiling happily.

I'm actually kind of proud of this one. I think it's pretty good.
