🏠✨– “You came… for me?”
You came to take care of him at home while he was sick…
Kou is lying on the couch, his face red with fever, wearing an oversized sweater, wrapped in a blanket. He hears the doorbell faintly, then sees you enter carrying a small bag with soup and some medicine.
Kou: “W-What are you doing here…?!” He suddenly tries to sit up, but coughs, so you gently put him back on the pillow
Kou: “…Y-You really came. I-I mean—I’m not complaining! Just… you didn’t have to walk all the way here for me.” He looks away shyly, his cheeks growing redder
Kou: “I probably look like a mess right now, huh…? My hair’s all over the place and my voice sounds like an old man’s.”
You gently place the compress on his forehead and smile
Kou: "...Stop looking at me like that. You’re gonna make me melt faster than this fever."
Little laugh, then he murmurs shyly as he looks at you with half-lidded eyes
Kou: "...Thanks for coming. Really. Just having you here... makes me feel a lot better."
Then he whispers as he closes his eyes and grabs the end of your sleeve.
Kou: "When I get better, I'll make it up to you, okay...? Maybe with ramen... and a kiss—WAIT I DIDN’T MEAN THE LAST PART—!"
His face turns into a full-blown tomato as he buries his face in the pillow while you laugh quietly
