Naoko stirred in her sleep. A stabbing pain in her head greeted her. The churning in her stomach and feverish heat coursing through her body made it uncomfortable. She groaned and curled up into a ball to hug herself. What happened...?
What do you last remember? BaoBao checked with her.
... Drinking something very sweet- Oh. God. No... Naoko groaned once more.
"Naoko? Is it very bad?" A comforting touch stroked the top of her head.
She opened her eyes a crack. Tadashi's face filled her vision. As soon as she saw how pale he was, all her pain and discomfort flew out the window. She shot up and cupped his face. "You're unwell again."
With only the thought of helping him feel better, she covered his lips with hers. Tadashi's eyes went wide as he processed what was happening. He gently but firmly pulled away from her rejuvenating kiss. "I'm fine, it's okay."
"Don't lie to me." She frowned and pouted. "I know that you still feel sick every now and then."
