[24] Sick day!

Hey everyone!

This is a new chapter that I added, so do make sure you read it!

Yuka's pov

It was a few days after the Halloween event and I managed to get myself ill. In my defence I hadn't done anything that could get me sick, I just got sick.

All I had done since realising I was ill, was to take some medicine and lie in bed.

Thankfully I didn't need to hear the snake's complaints because he decided that I was diseased. And that such infections were below him.

'Mighty dragons do not get ill like you pathetic mortals, but those filthy germs shall not touch this precious one's being!'

That is what he said to me before leaving.

He was wearing a mask, I wasn't sure where he got it. I didn't even know that there were masks in huge lizards sized. But he managed to get one. He was also keeping his distance from me, and by distance, he was on the other side of the apartment.

I was so delirious because of the fever that I either ignored most calls or the few that I did answer, I sounded like I was crazy. To be fair, the fever was messing with my brain. They shouldn't be important calls... hopefully.

Oh well, Declan can deal with the aftermath, I don't care.

I was fast asleep when I was pocked by something. Realising it was a long broom, I turned to see the snake reluctantly poking me.

Too tired to ask what was wrong, the lizard realised so he told me before I could muster the energy to ask.

'Answer the door. It keeps ringing.'

I looked at him blankly till it registered in my brain, 'Who is it?'

'The Pharaoh.'

With that, I got out of bed to answer the door.

I slightly opened the door to see Yami standing there. I stared at him blankly, 'Yami... what are you doing here?' As soon as I had said that I sneezed.

At the sound of my sneeze, Yami came in. Giving me no time to protest, he ushered me back in.

'Shh, don't push yourself, just get back to bed and rest.' He saw my confused gaze and chuckled.

He brought me to my sofa in the living room, placing down cushions and a blanket.

While he was getting stuff out of his bag, he explained to me, 'I called you a bit ago because you weren't at school. You answered but you sounded out of it and said you were sick. I took leave for the both of us so that I could look after you.'

I just quietly listened to him, too out of it to argue.

'So what symptoms are you experiencing?'

'... Fever, cough and sneezing, I think?'

'You don't sound too sure.' Yami laughed. 'Have you checked your temperature?'

When I shook my head, Yami brought his own near mine. My brain was too fried to comprehend what was happening. I could feel his cool forehead against mine and I didn't know if it was because of the fever, but I felt hotter.

'You feel too warm... Let me check properly.' Taking a thermometer out he checked, 'It's quite high, I'll monitor you for now and see how it goes. Have you had any medicine?'
