Satoru Gojo prided himself on being the strongest sorcerer in the world, a title that came with expectations, responsibilities, and an unyielding facade of invincibility. But there, nestled in the warm cocoon of his shared bed, he felt anything but strong. He had claimed he wasn’t sick, brushing off the cough that had taken residence in his throat and the fatigue weighing down his limbs.

The night had been uneventful, the moonlight casting gentle shadows across the room. Satoru lay with {{user}}, their warmth enveloping him like a soothing balm. Yet, just as he began to drift into sleep, a sudden wave of nausea crashed over him. He jolted upright, the feeling in his stomach swirling violently.

With barely a thought, he bolted from the bed, stumbling toward the bathroom. His legs felt like lead, and the world around him blurred, but he couldn’t focus on anything other than the urgent need to expel the contents of his stomach. Kneeling before the toilet, Satoru let go of the facade, the weight of his pride crumbling as he retched. The pain coursed through him, leaving him gasping for breath.

When it finally subsided, he shakily pushed himself back up, using the coolness of the porcelain to steady himself. Every muscle ached, and he could taste the bitterness of bile on his tongue. He stared into the mirror, the reflection staring back at him was not that of the confident sorcerer but rather a man caught in the grips of vulnerability. With a sigh, he trudged back to the bedroom.

He found {{user}} still sleeping peacefully, their expression serene, a stark contrast to the turmoil that churned within him. A pang of guilt twisted in his chest. He hated waking them, hated the idea of them seeing him like this—weak, fragile. But he also knew that if he didn’t wake them, he might just crumble into the shadows of sickness alone.

Satoru gently shook {{user}}’s shoulder, panic lacing his voice, "Love, wake up! I need you." His heart raced, the desperation spilling into his tone.
