     I sat idly in my chair, tapping my pen across the surface of Seiya's desk as we started the day. My spot in the managers office was to the right of Seiya's, particularly the short side of it.
     "Amagi Transportation has agreed to increase the amount of buses that come here," Sento starts, reading from her stack of papers.
     "I see, good work," Seiya, says quietly.
     His tone instantly made my head turn. Seiya sounds weaker, is he sick? Kicking the floor to spin my chair close to his, I ask, "Are you alright, Seiya?"
     "Kanie-kun?" Sento says, standing up to examine what was going on.
     "I'm fine... just a little bit...dizzy..."
     "I wouldn't say that...," I gently pulled him into my arms to check his condition, "You're running a temperature..."
     "S...Sorry...," he whispers before going limp, causing my eyes to widen slightly.
     "Isuzu, I'll take him to the infirmary. Tell Latifa," I paused to think and used magic to teleport my laptop into my spare hand, "Wire the paperwork Seiya needs to do. I'll pick it up when I come back."
     "Yes, your majesty."
     I snapped my fingers and brought the two of us into the infirmary, plus my chair, and laid him down on the bed. Acting, I rushed to the staff, telling them I brought Seiya in. Watching them start his treatment correctly, I walked out, passing Latifa on the way there.
     "Is Kanie-sama alright!?" Latifa asks frantically, running through the halls.
     I nodded, "Hai, he should be regaining consciousness. Please check up on him so I can get the supplies necessary to make him comfortable."
     Latifa nodded firmly and ran down the halls to check up on him. For some reason... leaving Seiya to Latifa's care didn't stick well with me... it was practically unreasonable of me. The instant my brain connected the dots, I smirked.

3rd POV

After Latifa scolded Seiya about his attitude to continue working despite being sick, a figure who looked like Sento walked in. Her mannerisms, appearance, and tone of voice would deceive those who couldn't see the gigantic zipper above her head.
     "How are you feeling, Kanie-kun?"
     "I'm alright. Do you know where (Y/n) went off to? I know for a fact she took me here, but where is she... Hey, what's that thing on your head?"
     "Don't worry about it."
     "I'm worried about my attendance as well. I just can't—H-hey!" Seiya shouts, putting his forearms up to push the seducing Sento away.
     "Why did you have to pick (Y/n)-chan? I'm the one who's—"
     "Don't be ridiculous! You know I like her! Women who go after men who are taken are horrible!" Seiya shouts with all seriousness, his alignments nonexistent at the moment.
     Right now all that mattered was telling Sento to stop going after him whilst he's in a weak state, and making sure she knew he wasn't joking around with (Y/n)—someone who can take out their entire city if she wanted. As Seiya gave the final push that made Sento hit the wall, a certain gunshot struck Sento as well. Or... was it Sento?
     Seiya looked at Sento confused, but thankfully a voice says, "To think you'd be so bold enough to mess with her majesty's," the scary and deep voice takes a sharp pause, realizing her mistake and continues, "close friend's significant other. This act will not go unpunished."
     Sento gave the two mascots more shots, before sighing and meekly saying, "Sorry, Kanie-kun. They were extremely inappropriate. I deeply hope this won't affect your love for each other."
     "Sento..." Seiya admired his subordinate's respect for himself and her princess.
     "Wait, mii. (Y/n)-chan's been friends with Latifa?"
     "That's right," another voice enters the room, "If you payed attention to our guests in the past, you'd notice (Y/n) visits once a year."
     Moffle took a seat and sighs, "How stupid are you two? Seiya may deserve it, but why would you even do that to (Y/n)-Chan? Imagine the damage you could've done if she was here. Not to mention the how you could ruin Isuzu's image."
     "Hai, I hope you don't see me any differently Kanie-kun. To be honest with you, I really hope things work out with her ma—Amamiya-san," Sento concludes, bowing.
     "R-right...," Seiya mutters, trying to compile everything that just went down.
     "W-we're sorry... mii..."
     "That's right, ron. We just wanted to help Kanie with his school attendance and have fun, ron."
     "It's not a bad idea, as long as they keep their mouths shut. It's not like anyone who's human finds him interesting, fumo" Moffle crosses his arms.
     Seiya facepalms harshly, not wanting to accept the truth.

Your POV

     I briskly walked down the hall to the infirmary, gaining the attention of the cast that were present. They probably gave Seiya the medication he needs, so I decided to sprint to the supermarket to get him some other things. A washcloth, a small plastic tub, a head cooling pad, soup... I even preordered the new shirts with built-in air conditioners to prevent this from happening again! ...I hope he'll like this.
     I walked into the infirmary, and noticed how crowded it was starting to get.
     "Ah, Sento-san, you got my laptop."
     "Hai, Amamiya-san. We'll text each other to work today. Get better soon, Kanie-kun," Sento takes her leave, passing me my laptop with a small wave as she left.
      I looked down at Seiya's bed and saw a magical costume that took Isuzu's form.
     I tilted my head and look at Seiya, "Are you feeling better?"
     "I am, oh! Don't walk that way..." Seiya mutters, knowing full well that Tiramie was camping out his girl on the floor.
     "Oh... okay," I set down the basket.
     "You didn't have to buy me anything..."
     "But I want to take care of you!"
     "Let's leave these two alone for now, fumo," Moffle says, standing up and kicking Tiramie and Macaron out the door, "I'll come in to check on (Y/n)-Chan later, fumo."
     Seiya nodded awkwardly, he was the sick one, not me...
     "I see that they got a magical suit," I start, taking it into my hands and furrowing my brows at the zipper, "Are... your schoolmates that dense to not be faze by this?"
     Seiya sighs, "It'll work out I guess... More importantly, are you staying here with me..?"
     I tilted my head at his blush and smile, "Mhm! Like I said, I'd like to take care of you, if you'd let me..."
     "O-of course! ...What did you buy anyways?"
     "Would you like to see?" I question excitedly, pulling out my phone to show him my order.
     We spent the next three days talking as I did my work and inbetween his resting. Initially he was shocked at how much I was "spoiling" him. But it seems like he came around to it... Though, only slightly.
Being able to take care of him made me feel less cold and purposeless.
