Eijiro walked back into the small cavern in your home cave that was made into your shared bedroom, having fetched a mug of tea for you both.

At the sight of you trying to bundle your way out of the nest the two of you had created from furs and blankets, he was quick to set down the mugs and rush over to you, gently taking one of your hands in his, his other finding purchase on your waist to help you gently back into the nest.

“Baby, what are you doing? You shouldn’t be getting up in your state, you’re sick! Like, really sick? You’re going to strain yourself and get worse..”

He spoke softly to you, a look or worry on his face.

“Please, pebble, rest. Let me care for you.”

It was hard to say no when he spoke like that, carded his fingers gently through your hair.

“I don’t want you to get hurt or even more sick because you won’t let me care for you, okay? Here, just.. lay back, drink the tea I made you. It’s lemon!”

He handed you the mug, looking at you with a slightly fretful expression.
