-------------------------------------
Sayako worked a night shift, so Matt came over to keep Sayako and Hitaru company, not knowing that Hitaru was sleeping over at Kari's house with the rest of the 6th graders(and 2 5th graders).
Eh, he still got to hang out with Sayako, so he wasn't complaining.
Matt made a pretty simple meal, Sayako's house had mostly boxed/ready-made food.
So, chicken nuggets and mac-n-cheese it was.
He brought a plate to Sayako, who was on the couch in the living room, watching a movie that was on. It was The Little Mermaid.
He put the plate on the table in front of her.
Sayako looked at the food and hugged a stuffed bunny that she had. Matt raised a brow.
"Aren't you gonna eat, babe?"
Sayako shook her head.
"C'mon, eat. You like this stuff."
Matt attempted to persuade her.
Sayako never ate after 7:00 PM.
It was currently 6:00 PM.
Sayako shook her head again. "I'm not hungry." She mumbled softly.
Matt crossed his arms while he looked at her. "You aren't?"
Sayako shook her head, looking up at him with a tired look in her eyes.
"I wanna go to bed..."
Okay, something was NOT right.
Usually it took 3 stories, cuddles, and soft singing for Sayako to fall asleep or at least want to go to sleep.
And she never EVER said that she wanted to sleep.
Matt immediately went to get the thermometer that they usually kept in the bathroom cabinet.
How did he know this? Maiko made sure he knew where every first aid supply they owned was.
He took the thermometer to Sayako and knelt to her height.
"Say 'Ah'." He said softly.
Sayako complied. Matt took her temperature.
Well, there was his answer.
The thermometer read 101.3 degrees.
High fever.
"well, bad news. You've got a fever."
Sayako nodded.
Matt felt her forehead to see if he should check again in case it was wrong.
"Yeah, you're hot." He muttered, pulling back.
Sayako giggled tiredly.
"Thank youuuuuu."
Matt shook his head.
She really WAS out of it.
Matt pulled a chair to the couch and left to get her a damp washcloth.
That should help calm her fever.
When he came back, Sayako was staring up at the ceiling as if there were something interesting about it. Matt looked up and saw nothing, so he assumed that she was just feverish.
Matt laid the damp cloth on her forehead and Sayako looked back down.
"I wanna be a cat..." She muttered.
"Sayako, you ARE a cat." Matt reminded her as Sayako felt her soft cat-ears.
"OH YEAH! I forgot..."
Matt sighed quietly. he'd remind her of this when she wasn't high from a fever.
"Go to sleep, sweetheart."
Sayako nodded and fell asleep rather quickly.
This would be a long night.
He let her sleep while he watched the rest of The Little Mermaid, still enjoying Sayako's company.
