When Left Alone (Ouran Highschool Host Club Fanfiction)

๑ Chapter 13 - Knight in Shining Armor ๑

-Yukina POV-

My eyes started to flutter as I woke up.

I walked my way to the living room to see Grandma.

"Good morning, grandma.." I said.

"Ah, Good morning, Yuki." She said with a calming voice. "What's wrong? You look pale."

"No, I'm fine, I'm fine.." I replied. "Ne, Grandma, I got a part time job at a convenient store, I'll be back in 5 hours, Ok?." I said.

"Just be careful and rest when you're tired, Ok? I'll be going to the fields today and pay a visit so I won't be home until then." Grandma said.

I nodded and walked out the door.

***

The reason I got a part-time job is that I wanted to kill time for the last day of summer vacation. But it's really hot especially today.

'My throat is killing me.'

*cough cough*

"Oi, are you ok? Would you like to rest?" The old lady which is the owner of the store.

"No need, I'm fine Yacchan.." That was her name. She was a kind and caring old lady. .caring enough to remind me of my parents.

'Uh. . Now's not the time to think of them. . I have to focus first.. focus.'

Naoki POV

"Gaah, it's so hot today ( 'Д')y━･~~ I'm sweating so badly it might ruin my perfect face for the ladies nfu~ (￣▽￣) but even so I can't believe my mom wants me to buy something at a time like this *sigh*"

'Hm? Isn't that Yuki-Chan? She's . .working?'

"Yuki-Chaaaaaaaan~ You have applied for a job?~ (⌒▽⌒)/" I joyfully asked.

'? . .No response?'

"Ne, Yuki-Chan?" I came closer to her.

When she finally noticed my presence she finally looked up.

"Oh, Naoki-kun what brings you here?" She asked but. . . . .her face looks very pale.

"Yuki-chan.. Are you feeling well?" I asked.

She nodded.

I was very sure she lied at that moment so I when I was about to put my hand on her forehead she lost her balance.

"Watch out!" I shouted.

I successfully grabbed her when she was about to fall on the ground.

"Oi! What's wrong?!" Damn I'm so worried.

I finally brought my hand to her forehead. "You're burning up!"

"I'm .. . . F-fine.." She replied while breathing heavily.

"No you're not! You're not okay! Why are you pushing yourself?! It's especially hot today!" I screamed out of worry. "Hello? Is there anyone here?!" I yelled for help.

An old lady approached us. "Oh my, what's going on?" She said.

"Please excuse her for work today, she has a high fever!" I yelled.

"Ok ok please take care." The old lady said.

"Thanks!!!" I stood up with Yukina on my arms and headed to her home.

I was running quickly from this hot temperature.

"N-Nao. .ki . . .-kun?" Yukina let out a soft voice.
