Imperfect Romance: One-shot Series

Ai Gets Sick

"So how long did it take you to fold?" Kuramochi asked while leaning down on Miyuki's desk.

"What are you talking about?" Miyuki inquired in confusion suppressing a yawn. He was definitely not a morning person and wanted the day to be over with even though it hasn't even started yet.

"With Yukimura the other day," The shortstop elaborated. "You guys didn't join us until when we were already eating."

"Oh that," Miyuki chuckled to himself in amusement. "I gave her my jacket a couple of minutes after you guys left."

"That soon?" He asked in an incredulous tone. "And you are admitting it?"

The catcher merely shrugged. "I figured that mother nature had already punish her enough."

"So that's your excuse?" Kuramochi chided with a teasing grin.

"It's not an excuse." Miyuki said narrowing his eyes at his friend.

"You are totally whipped!" The shortstop accused.

"No, I'm not!" The catcher retorted.

"Yes, you are!" Kuramochi insisted.

"I find it funny that you think that I'm whipped." Miyuki began with a devilish grin.

"How come?"

"Don't tell me that you forgot my dear Kuramochi," The catcher feigned being surprised. "Weren't you the one who told me to give her my jacket when I was reluctant to do so?"

Kuramochi scoffed. "I just wanted to eat and go someplace warm."

"Then why didn't you do that first instead of begging me to give Ai-chan my jacket?" Miyuki asked in an exaggerated tone.

"You are becoming as dramatic as your girlfriend." The shortstop deadpanned.

Miyuki snorted at his comment. "I don't think that's humanly possible."

"You might have a point there."

"Ohayou." They both heard a strained voice greet them.

"Who the hell is- Oh my goodness! Yukimura it's that you?!" Kuramochi stammered when he turned around to see who was greeting them.

"Ai-chan what happened?" Miyuki asked in shock carefully examining her figure. Ai's hair was slightly sticking out from different directions due to bed hair, her cheeks were flushed, and with her red puffy nose she resembled Rudolph the Reindeer. "You look horrible." He exclaimed horrified.

"Miyuki!" Kuramochi punched him on the arm. "Don't tell her that! She is your girlfriend." He scolded.

Ai gasped in horror. "Oh my god! Do I look ugly now?" She asked cupping her cheeks before breaking out in a coughing fit.

"No babe, you look fine." The catcher tried to reassure her, wincing at the sound of her cough.

"You sounded so convincing." Kuramochi teased.

"Shut up," Miyuki lamely retorted punching him on the arm before getting up from his chair to hold Ai. "Are you sick?" He asked her in concern.

"Whadda you think?" The shortstop deadpanned receiving a glare from Miyuki in turn.

"It's not a big deal," Ai dismissed his question only to start coughing again. "I'm fine." She added unconvincingly.

"You are obviously not fine," Miyuki said placing his hand on her forehead. "You are burning up which means that you have a fever."

"Maybe that's why I'm freezing." She realized trying to suppress a chill.

"I told you that you were going to get sick for being dumb," The catcher chastised her. "Look at you! Why did you even come to school?"
