Now that he thought about it, he doesn't have any school uniform and he was pretty sure that Kaito's clothes wouldn't work. So he wrote Baaya to come in the morning and bring him a pair of school uniform as well as underwear. A sigh escaped as he walked into the room, and smiled a bit as seeing the poster. He was sure that Kaito always looked up to the first Kaito Kid, and maybe that was why he had a picture there. 

A sigh escaped as he closed the door softly and walking up to the bed. Soon he laid down and began to doze off relatively quickly...

6 hours later...

He was awoken by someone shaking him. His eyes were a bit blurry as he groans. It was way too early for this. What time was it? His eyes adjust and he saw Kuroba in front of him, looking concerned. Why was he looking concerned for the other?

"God for a moment I thought you where dead."

He was confused, and he sat up and felt his body heavy. His whole body was hurting, and he felt feverish maybe he caught something? Meh, it wasn't mattering to him as he still needed to get to school. After all, he couldn't let Kaito alone.

"Sorry, that I worried you."

His voice was slightly scratchy and with this, he knew he caught something. Yesterday he began to feel weirdly exhausted and he guessed it had to do with him not getting enough sleep. Or it was the beginning of the signs that he began to get sick. Hakuba just couldn't get enough sleep with the cases his father gave him, and the worries for Kuroba he usually got less than 3 hours.

"Ah, he is awake. Try not to overwork yourself anymore and try to take it easy. Downstairs is a nice lady, which brought you the school uniform. I have to head out now as I have to get home, change into my school uniform and go to my school. See you, oh and I will write to you two. Bye."

With this, he gave the other a hug, which the other was surprised at, but had a small smile now. He seemed a bit better and the dullness seemed less as well. Soon the other dashed away, muttering something about Ran will murder him when he would get late to meet her.

"So how are you feeling? You seem a bit feverish. Maybe you should stay at home?"

The other voice sounded soft and there was a worry in it as well.

"No, when it will be worse I am going to the nurse's office. I don't want to leave you alone."

That was making the other look surprise and he could tell that he didn't have that poker face on right now. It made him feel relieved that the other was showing his emotion to him.

"Tantei-san, you do realize that it could make it worse. Oh, and Baaya left again."

The other chuckled as he pulled the other back down to the bed and hugged him. The latter let out a squick in surprise but hugged back. Hakuba wanted to make the other feel loved again, wanting to make the latter to stop feeling lonely. 

"Fine, I won't go but you are staying with me. One day of missing school won't do much."

The other was silent for a moment and whispered something which Hakuba could barely understand, but he managed to understand it. By now the other hugged him and he could feel the body of the other shake.

"B-but Aoko will go after me again with it..."

Hakuba grimaced at this and he knew that they should probably go to his house, but he was feeling way too cozy.

"Nah, don't worry I have talked to Nakamori Keibu and when she would try to do it again, I will just protect you."

That was making his body relax more as he hugged him a bit more tightly and Hakuba could tell that the other was still not alright. Of course not, how could someone be alright after feeling almost dead on the inside.

"Thank you so much, Hakuba..."

The voice was soft and there was so much appreciate it that it made his heart once more sting. It sounded so fragile and it made him once more realize how the other really was.

"Saguru, call me that from now on."

Saguru wasn't going to let the other ever alone with his feelings. He wants the other to understand that they are friends now. Understand that the other can always come to him or to Kudo.

"You better call me Kaito then Saguru.~"

The other voice had a happy undertone, which made him smile softly.

"Of course, Kaito."

Then there was silence and so he must have dozed off as he felt moved and under a warm blanket. The next time he woke up was when he felt something cool on his forehead. His eyes slowly opened and he felt worse than before. He felt more feverish, soon he closed his eyes again. 

He woked up but dozed off many times until he was awoken by Kaito who told him that he needed to eat something. From his inner clock, it was 1 pm now. Indigo's eyes looked more worried now and had that dull again. 

"I cough will be cough fine. Just a cold."

Saguru knew that with rest he should be alright again tomorrow.

"I hope so when you don't get better but worse, I will have to call a doctor."

That made sense to him, giving the other a reassuring smile trying to make the other feel better. And it seemed to work to some extent as the other eyes were less dull now. He slowly sat up, and eat the soup which Kaito gave him. Afterward, he laid back down and dozed off again. Saguru was sure that he would be fine with more sleep. But he couldn't help but worry for the other. He just hoped that the other hadn't cut himself again. The worry was legit after all he knew that Kaito had done this and he was sure that he did this more than once.
