A Little Push

13. sickly

Kirishima

I had been laying in bed since Bakugou had identified I was sick. That was a couple hours ago. (I would just like to let you know that chapters 7-13 are all on a Monday.) The sun had set at this point and it was like 10pm. Bakugou was in his room... I think? I'm pretty sure he knocked out after he made me soup and ate dinner in my dorm with me. It was sweet.

Then, he didn't leave until I was all cozy, and he told me he would sleep in here with me on the floor or something, even though I wouldn't mind him on the bed, but he really doesn't want to get sick. I can respect that, and I'm sure he's just doing this as a bro thing.

I decided to sleep not long after I got sick of Instagram.

I woke up to my alarm, some shuffling, and a small yawn, or in other words, a Bakugou. He seemed to be lazily pacing.. waiting for me to wake up maybe? "B..... Baku...?"

His face flushed a little red and he looked at me, "Um.. hi Red..?"

"Why are you in here?" I tried to sit up but when I did a huge headache came over me so I layed back down.

"Whoa whoa whoa slow your roll there, sick boy," he rolled his eyes and walked closer to my bed, but still at least a foot away from it, arms crossed. "You need rest. I came in here to check on you and you looked all sick and stuff so I grabbed some medicine and stuff and waited in here for you to wake up. Then you did. So now take your temperature."

He handed me a thermometer and I turned it on and put it in my mouth. About a minute passed and it beeped and Bakugo ripped it out of my mouth. "Mmm.. 100," he said looking at me as if he was examining me. "I think it's just a cold. Do you feel any other pain or discomfort other than your head and heat?"

"It just feels like multiple trucks hit me." I shrugged but that sent a pain through my head that felt like I was being stabbed. It felt so real I felt the back of my head to make sure that I wasn't actually just stabbed.

"Oh I think I know what you have, actually. Is your head and feet cold, but your body super hot?"

"Yeah," wow wait why did he know that exactly?

"Ok. This is some like weird sickness that I don't know what it's called but like you really can't do anything for it but lay there. It sucks." He thought about something, "I'll be right back."

He left for his room, and when he came back he had the TV from his room. He also had a little foldable table he put it on, right at the end of my bed. "So, your head is probably going to hurt so bad you can't get on your phone or even watch this TV, but it should entertain you while I'm gone and you're not sleeping, which you should also be doing. Anyway, it's almost time for school so I need to get ready and blast over there." He came over, gave me a little high-five, and headed to his room. "I'll be back."

(Btw I've had this sickness before and I was like lifeless for two days lol it sucked.)

I turned on the TV, and my head hurt a little bit from the screen being so bright but I ignored it and headed to YouTube to drown myself in Pewdiepie's new minecraft series. (Sorry I've been watching that recently)

Bakugou came back, looked at what i'm watching, rolled his eyes and laughed, then said bye, waved, and left. He also brought his keys for once so he could get back into his or my room, as he has an extra key of mine and his own.

I watch Pewdiepie for about 3 hours until I get extremely bored and my head was throbbing like no tomorrow. I grab my phone and stare at the ceiling. What time is it anyway? I check: 10:27. Ok, now my head hurts looking at my phone. Ugh.

I decided to take a nap.

I woke up about four hours later, exhausted, even though I was just taking a nap. I rubbed my eyes and looked out the window. It looked to be afternoon by now, which made sense after I checked the time and it was 2:45.

I tried to sit up, but when I did I was in extreme pain. I laid back down and decided I read a little bit. I look on the bookshelf right next to my bed, and choose a book called "Living With Boys" because it looked good.

After reading for about 30 minutes, I was addicted. The book was about a girl who had to move in with one of her boy best friends because she couldn't pay rent at her old house, and it turns out he lives with a ton of other super hot guys.

"I yawned, getting up. I wish I could stay in that oh so comfortable bed forever, but I have a job..."

My reading was stopped when I heard the jingling of keys and the door open. Bakugou walked in with something in his hand, "How are you doing?" He put the object, that I now know was ramen, down on the table and walked up to me.

"I-I'm ok. I'll I've done all day is sleep, watch youtube, and read," I rub my eyes.

"Well, I brought you your homework, that I can help you with later, and some ramen for both of us. Do you want to watch a movie?"

"Of course I do!" I smile. He always seems to make my days better.
