POINT OUT MISTAKES IF THERE ARE ANY BUT PLEASE ENJOY THIS LONG CHAPTER!

"Did you go to the hospital?" Raelyn asks, her eyes briefly leaving the kettle she was currently brewing tea in and meeting his before returning to it

"You didn't have to come all the way, you know?" Zyaire says instead of answering her question, leaning his aching head on the fist of his hand propped against the island of his kitchen.

A kitchen Raelyn found to be gorgeous.

Neat too.

"Well I couldn't reach you and I was...well I was worried and I know you don't like me being all up in your business or whatever but I really wanted to check on you so I came" she says honestly

"Hmm" he hums only, his eyes resting on hers

"Don't worry I'll leave soon, after I make sure you're fine" she assures, pouring some tea into a cup for him

"I'm fine" he says as she drops the cup on the island in front of him

"Your temperature says otherwise" she says, bringing her palm to his forehead, ignoring the small flinching he'd done when her palm touched his skin

"I'm fine" he repeats taking her hand away from his head, shaking off his surprise from her touching him so suddenly.

"You have a fever" she deadpans

"I.." he starts and shuts up when she raises a brow, her lips shut but her eyes speaking volumes, telling him most importantly not to argue with her

"Since you haven't been to the hospital, have you at least had any medicines?" She asks

"No, not yet" he says, deciding to just quietly let her do whatever.

"We need to bring your fever down, you're burning hot" she notes, going to the cupboard and pulling out a small pot

"Have you eaten?" She asks turning to him after dropping the pot on the unlit stove

"I..."

"You better not lie to me" she cuts him off with the squint of her eyes and he clears his throat, pushing back his previous answer

"No, I haven't" he says truthfully and she nods

"I'll make you something good then!" she smiles and he fights back his own smile from her sudden enthusiasm

"You must like cooking"

"For a selected people, yes" she says and he smiles, assuming the obvious_that he was a part of the selected people.

"But we still need to try to get your fever down. Warm baths help so how about you go take a bath so you feel refreshed and when you come down, I'd have made something for you to eat" she states out her plan and he waves her off with his hand

"I'm too tired for all that. I'll get better by tomorrow so leave it be" he says, a yawn leaving his lips as he shuts his eyes and she pokes his head with her newly fixed nails making him open his eyes in surprise

"Go take a bath so you feel better and then come down so I give you food to eat" she says, this time ordering him and not requesting

"But..."

"Go Zyaire, now" she repeats

"No"

"Go"

"You're not the boss of me, in fact I'm your boss" he says and she rolls her eyes

"Not in your house, you're not. I'm taking care of you so technically I am in control here so go" she says and he frowns

"Fine but not because you asked me to, I was going to anyways" he says lamely
