you bolted out of your bed, looking around the room. you also ran around the house for a clock.

you accidentally tripped on a futon.

"what the fuck...what time is it?!" you asked yourself. it was 9:45 am. you were late for work.

"sit down."

you turned your head to face the familiar voice. and of course, it was kenma's.

"k-kenma?! kenma....my boss....am i hallucinating? are you actually here?" you rubbed your eyes.

"yes, you dimwit. now go back to bead. you're still hungover." kenma said, playing his video games.

"o-oh, okay......." you said, sitting back down on your bed. you whipped out your phone to check any texts or calls.

but kenma then grabbed it away from you.

"gasp, kenma!" you yelled.

"i told you, you're still hungover and probably have a fever. no electronics. i'll make you something to eat." kenma rolled his eyes.

you blushed. he was actually taking care of you? he went out of his way to help you.

"oh, yeah. how'd you get in?" you asked kenma, before he left the room.

"i asked terushima. you were drunk as hell yesterday. so i stayed over." kenma shrugged.

that explained the futon you tripped on. you also guessed that kenma went home and came back since you saw his extra clothes and essentials.

"oh. okay." you waved your hand, letting him cook.

this is actually a little exciting. and terrifying.

on the other hand, kenma was nervous as hell. he usually didn't take care of people. but for some reason, he had the urge to take care of you.

"hmm...i can cook but i just need to make sure i don't do anything embarrassing..." kenma muttered to himself.

he wasn't very sure where everything was around your house and kitchen.

"the pans are here. the oils there and the-" you said behind kenma, scaring him.

he flinched and turned red.

"sigh, this is embarrassing." he whispered to himself.

"let me help you. i doubt you know where the ingredients are." you laughed.

"no laughing. and fine. but you have to sit down." he said, forcing you on the chair.

"geez, alright." you tried to hold in your laughter. you could see kenma smile slightly, making you feel relieved.

"the stuffs over there." you pointed.

********

kenma finished cooking and handed you the plate of fried rice. it smelled delicious.

(≧◡≦)

"woahhh, thanks kenma!" you clapped your hands. you dug in right away as he just watched you.

"you're not going to eat anything?" you tilted your head.

"no, it's fine." he dryly answered.

you then got a splendid idea.

"wanna try some bread i made?" you elbowed him gently. he raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"hmph....." you crossed your arms, planning.

you wanted to try something but wasn't sure if he'd comply. but it was worth a shot.

"cmon, if you don't eat, i wont."

kenma's face looked a little amused and surprised. he hesitantly spoke.

"fine..."

"gasp, ayyyy!" you cheered, laughing at him at the same time. what shocked you the most is that he actually really did care about you.

"alright...let's see here. try some of my brownies?" you offered. he nodded and bit into one.

"how is it..?" you asked.

"it's good." he said eating the rest of the brownie.

"so, was there no work today...?" you asked.

"i just took the day off." he answered. he continued to play his games throughout the afternoon.

that's when the fever started kicking in. you got a little tired and sweaty and red.

"yawn....kenma i'm going to sleep." you walked into your bedroom.

"you have a fever, don't you." kenma followed you. you pursed your lips.

"i'll buy medicine." kenma said, waving off. you tried to stop him or give him cash, but he already dashed out of the house.

"sigh. i'm going to sleep...." you laid down in a comfortable position. then you got a phone call from kuroo.

"what do you—"

"where's kenma?!! i came to his work building to see him gone. he never missed a day at work!" kuroo ranted.

"kenma didn't tell you?" you said massaging your temples. this headache was eating you alive.

"no...? gasp. did y'all uhm...f-"

"no for fucks sake. he was at my house. he went out to buy me medicine...."

"oh oop. whoops! haha...why?"

"we went out to drink yesterday but i got really drunk so he stayed the night and is helping me feel better." you answered.

"THE KOZUME KENMA IS TAKING CARE OF YOU?!" kuroo yelled making you pull your phone away.

"yes...." you sighed. why didn't you just hang up?

"h-how?! kenma never does that..he hasn't ever done that before. i think." kuroo concluded.

"that's wonderful. now if you don't mind, i'm going to sleep. i have a headache." you hung up.

you could hear the buttons to the door beeping and ringing.

"shit,, already?" you sat up.

"hey hey hey!!"
