Before reading the chapter, let's take a quick moment to appreciate MewGulf and their hard work. They deserve only the best in the world and I wish nothing but a happily ever after for the two beauties.

"P'Mewwww, I'm fineee." Gulf says as his arm hangs around Mew's shoulder.

"I know, Gulf. You've been saying that for the past twenty minutes." Mew replies, slightly pulling the boy to his apartment.

Once they reach the door, Mew asks Gulf where his keys are.

Dizzy and somewhat confused, Gulf grabs the keys from his pocket and holds it out for Mew to take since the boy has no idea what direction is where.

Mew takes the keys with his empty hand and opens the door. He kicks the door open and drags Gulf inside the apartment, closing the door behind them.

"Do you want to go into your room or stay out here?" Mew asks as he tries to feel for the light switch on the wall.

After the lights turn on, Gulf closes his eyes and covers it with his hand to block out the brightness.

"Anywhere" Gulf mumbles.

Looking over at the couch, Mew picks up the boy and walks over to the seat, placing him down.

"Stay here. I'll fetch you a glass of water." Mew says as Gulf nods and curls into a ball.

Mew walks to the kitchen and grabs a glass from the cabinet. Then he looks for a pitcher of water or a water bottle.

Finding a water bottle in the fridge, Mew opens it and pours the water into the glass. He places the bottle on the counter and finds a pill from the medicine cabinet.

Then Mew walks back to Gulf on the couch and holds out the glass and pill.

"Take this, it should help." Mew says softly, not wanting to bother Gulf with a loud sound.

Gulf rubs his belly as he uncurls from his ball.

"I need to go... to the... uh.. the bathroom." Gulf says, waving his hand in the air as the words form in his head.

Mew nods and places the items down on the table before helping Gulf stand up from the couch.

"Do you need help getting there?" Mew asks, watching the boy carefully as he shakes his head and walks into the bathroom.

As Mew waits for Gulf to finish, he looks around the apartment.

The sound of things falling to the ground grabs the attention of Mew. He turns to see the bathroom door opening. 

Mew quickly runs over to see if Gulf needs help.

"Can you pass the-"

hiccup

"-the-"

hiccup

Suddenly, the boy throws up all over Mew's shirt.

Gulf stumbles onto his older mate as Mew holds his hands out to catch him, keeping his body away from the mess on his shirt.

Mew grabs Gulf's hand and pulls him into the boy's bedroom. 

"Lay down on the bed and don't move, ok?" Mew instructs to which Gulf replies by dropping his head down roughly.

Following his Phi's instructions, Gulf sits on the bed and rests his head against the wall.

Meanwhile, Mew takes off his shirt and throws it to the side of the room.

Then he walks into the bathroom, grabs one of the towels and soaks it in warm water.

Walking back to the room, Mew starts wiping the wet towel on Gulf's face and down his body.

"This is what happens when you eat and drink too much, Yai Nong." Mew says softly, focusing on cleaning Gulf's body.

"It was my birthhhdayyyy." Gulf replies, dropping down onto the bed.

Mew sighs as he sees Gulf's awkward position. Reaching for the boy's hands, Mew helps him lay on the bed correctly.

"I'll be back. Don't do anything stupid." Mew says, walking out of the room and back into the bathroom.

Gulf starts laughing at the thought of him doing something stupid. "I would never." He says while giggling.

The boy closes his heavy eyes for what felt like a second before he gets awoken by Mew.

"Here, take this before going to sleep." Mew says, helping Gulf up and holding his back so the boy doesn't fall back down.

Gulf reaches for the pill five times before actually getting it. Seeing the boy struggle, Mew grabs his hands and puts it in his hands.

Nodding, Gulf gives Mew a closed-eyed smile.

Mew laughs slightly as he watches the boy take the pill.

After finishing the water, Gulf holds out the glass to Mew, who takes it and places it on the nightstand.

Gulf drops back down on the bed and snuggles into his blanket. "Good night, P'Mew." 

Smiling, Mew pulls the blanket closer up Gulf's body. 

Then he grabs his shirt from the corner and goes to wash it. Taking one of Gulf's hangers, Mew hangs the shirt up on the shower pole and walks back into Gulf's room.

Looking in the younger's closet, Mew takes one of the shirts and wears it for the night.

Mew turns off the lights in the bedroom and turns on the lamp on the nightstand.

Walking over to Gulf's desk, Mew takes a seat on the chair and watches the boy as he sleeps.
