Sick Day

I had checked my phone to see what the green notification light was blinking for. Someone had messaged me on Messenger, apparently. I unlocked my phone and saw Hero had messaged me.

"Heyyy~" his message said. Every inch of my body ached. I was too sick to even reply. I decided to open Skype (which was even more difficult to do) to be able to talk to him properly.

"What's u- are you okay?" Hero asked. I probably looked ridiculous wrapped up in different blankets and duvets with a bunch of scarves around my neck. With my face all red and stuffy because of the flu.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a cold."

"Just a cold? You look terrible!" I scoffed

"Since when have I not looked terrible?" I asked. I usually get mood swings more often when I'm sick, so it was no surprise when Hero frowned at me.

"Stay in bed... or wherever you are right now. I'm coming over. You can't just waste this semester break to pay for all the colds you were lucky to avoid during school." Hero said. He looked like he was grabbing a bunch of things from his room.

"Don't come! It's raining pretty bad. I don't need you to get a cold too."

"If I do, well then we can snuggle inside a blanket and share the flu together. See you in 10." And the call ended. I sighed and stood up (or waddled because of all the things covering me from head-to-toe) to lie down on the couch to wait for Hero. After exactly 10 minutes, the doorbell was ringing. My brother quickly rushed to the door to let Hero in.

"You look more terrible in person." Hero said when he saw me.

"Haha, very funny." I said. I sniffed and groaned. Hero sat me upright and sat next to me. He pressed the back of his hand against my forehead.

"Wow, you're burning up!"

"Thanks for pointing it out, Captain Obvious." I sarcastically replied. He rolled his eyes at me.

"I'll go in the kitchen to make some porridge or soup for yoh. Meanwhile, you can watch T.V. or something. You need to rest." He stood up and headed straight for the kitchen. I couldn't exactly turn around to look at him so I just followed his instructions and watched cartoons. I must have been really tired because I was woken up when Hero started to lightly pat my cheek.

"I've only been gone for like 15 minutes and you've managed to fall asleep. Here, I made you some porridge with chicken." He put the bowl on the table and went back to get more food like crackers and some juice.

"You could be a nurse, you know. Seeing as how you take care of me more than my own brother." I heard my brother shout something at me from his room but I just laughed it off.

"Are you saying I shouldn't take good care of you? Because I can stop, you know." Hero said. I didn't know if he was teasing or not because he looked so serious.

"What? I didn't say that. You're so easy change your mind, you know? It scares me sometimes." He laughed.

"Don't worry. I'll take good care of you even if I have to get sick in the process." He co tinued to come to my house for 2 more days and wouldn't you know it, I got better.
