-13- Sickness?

(this chapter is based on Author-Chans real state oof I hate headaches)

(The next morning)
I woke up and yawned quietly. Hero was lying next to me, still asleep. I turned to him and placed my arm on his hip, softly rubbing over his belly. He groaned quietly and curled up some more, pulling the covers a bit higher up. I giggled and went further down. Not too far tho because he is really sensitive. I only stroke over his lower belly, hearing him moan. He opened his eyes tiredly and turned his head to me. "What are you doing?", he mumbled weakly. But I only continued petting him. "Don't worry. Everything is fine. Just stay calm.", I replied, licking over his neck. Hero relaxed a little bit as I continued. He groaned softly after a few minutes and sat up, rubbing his head. "What even happened yesterday night?", he asked. I giggled. "You passed out after you saw me without a shirt. So I had to bring you to bed.", I replied. Hero sighed and stood up, but suddenly collapsed. I leapt out of the bed and ran over to him, slightly worried. Something was obviously wrong, but I didn't know what.
Hero could barely stand up as I put my arms under his to help him. "Hero, what's wrong?", I asked him worriedly. He sat up and rubbed his head. Just like before...
"Do you have a headache?", I asked. Hero sighed. "Yeah, a pretty bad one actually. I don't feel so good right now...", he mumbled as I helped him stand. "You're really pale, Hero.", I said and put my hand on his forehead. "And really warm.", I added. I sat him down on the bed again, seeing that he was nothing more than a pale pile of pain and tiredness. Sighing, I told him: "Ok. You will stay in bed for today, so you can regenerate. I will be here and make you some tea. Sounds good?" He agreed, even if it was very weak.
I went over to the kitchen and filled some water into a tea pot, putting it on the oven to heat it up. Then I went to a chest to get the box with the tea bags. "Say, which tea do you want? Peppermint, baked apple, chamomile, fruit or lemon?", I asked and looked inside the box. He decided to go for a simple peppermint tea. So I made him a peppermint tea.
After the water was boiling, I poured it into a cup and put the tea bag into it. Then I waited. "Do you need sugar or honey in it?"
"No."
Weird. I thought he'd want something sweet in his tea., I thought, but didn't bother to ask again.
I removed the tea bag and went with the cup to him, giving it to him. He took a sip of the tea as I put the blanket over him again. "Thank you, Steve.", he mumbled and put the cup on the bedside table, leaning back. "I have no clue what's going on, but I hope it will stop soon." I agreed and stroke over his shoulder. "It's weird that you couldn't walk, though. Normally you can walk, but not listen to music or anything.", I thought out loudly. "I don't quite remember what happened. I just know that I suddenly couldn't move anymore and just collapsed. Then I remember you helping me up. But what happened in between is... Gone. Like I had a blackout.", he explained absentmindedly and stared at the blanket.
It took him a few minutes before he sighed. "No. I really don't remember anything.", he said and lowered his head. "I hate it. I don't like not being able to remember anything that happened. It feels... Pathetic." I nodded, fully knowing what he meant. I had a few blackouts in my life, mostly when I was drunk, but I always knew that I was missing something on the next day. Not something physical, but something like a memory. Mostly it came back first as a dark shadow, then as a clear memory, but some stayed away completely and forever.
Hero buried his face in his hands. He felt really bad all of the sudden and didn't know why. I raised my hand and placed it on his back. "Is everything alright?", I asked him carefully. Hero whimpered slightly. "N-no... I-I..." He tried to say something, then he suddenly broke down. I barely saw him cry, and definitely not in pain. I gently rubbed over his shoulders, trying to calm him down. "Do you have painkillers somewhere?", I whispered. Hero only shakily raised his hand and pointed at a chest. I went to it and opened it, seeing a few different boxes and bottles.
After a short time of searching I found a box of painkillers, opening it and looking into it. It was halfway empty, causing me to tilt my head. "Do you have that more often?", I asked. Hero made a "yes" sound, still whimpering.
I wonder why.
I went back to him, handing him a pill. He took it and drank some tea after. Then he leaned back, still looking like he was in massive pain. I took the mug from him and put it down on the table. Then I softly pulled him into a hug and gently stroke over his head. "It's fine, Hero. It won't take long now. Only half an hour or so.", I whispered and held him close. Hero whined and buried his head into my chest. "I hope so...", he whimpered.

A few hours later he fell asleep on my chest. I softly stroke over his head, still worried if he was fine again. More than just once he let out a short groan while he was sleeping.
I gently kissed the top of his head, accidentally waking him up. He raised his head and looked at me with tired, dull eyes. "Sorry if I just woke you up, Hero.", I whispered and stroke some of his brown hair away, which was lying messily over his eyes. "No. It's fine.", he replied before hugging me a bit tighter. I sighed. "You seem to feel better now.", I commented. Hero nodded slightly. "Yeah. I feel better now. Thank you.", he said, holding me close. I smiled. "Good. I'm glad you're fine again.", I whispered, kissing him softly. He enjoyed it and relaxed completely in my arms. Soon after I felt him fall asleep. I smiled and softly kissed him on the head, lying him down and tucking him in. Then I went to the kitchen, grabbing some food.
Yes, I'm always hungry.
