Lately, you've been very busy with work. As a result, you and Rafayel haven't hung out in a while now -- so he faked a fever.

Everything was going smoothly: he was being tucked into bed, caressed, and treated like a prince. That was until you pulled out the thermometer to make sure it wasn't anything serious.

Rafayel would rather die than admit he faked a fever because he was desperate for your attention. He tried to snatch the thermometer away from you, but due to your quick reflexes, he missed.

»Do ... do you not trust me enough to believe that I have a fever? And here I was, thinking we had something special.« he managed to muster out, hoping you'd just put away the thermometer and continue with your gentle touches.
