“Syusuke, it’s just a cold!” Tezuka scowled, watching Fuji take his pillow and fleece blanket with him to the living room.

“And fever, Kunimitsu. You need to rest. It will be better if I let you have the entire bed to yourself.” Fuji muttered his concern.

“That’s a round about way of saying… you don’t want to catch my cold.” Tezuka leaned on the bedroom door with his arms crossed.

Fuji stopped before Tezuka and leaned closer towards him, with the pillow and blanket between them. He tilted his head to ogle over his lover’s grumpy disposition.

“You’re cute when you pout, you know that?” He teased. “No I am not afraid of your cold, but you are sick. It does not make sense having us both sick at the same time Kunimitsu. I need to be well so I can take care of you.” Fuji batted his eyes playfully, hoping to make him feel better.

“I am old enough to take care of myself Syusuke. I can take care of us both even when I am sick.” Tezuka declared eyeing Fuji seriously.

Fuji stared back at him with amusement. “And I can't question that, but you were the one who got careless! Now you are sick and I am not, I can take care of you. So if you will kindly return to bed and rest.”

Tezuka sighed and went back to bed like he was told. He didn't think he had a chance to win this argument. Fuji was right about his carelessness. His head throbbed; inside his ears ached and it hurt more when he sneezed or cough.

Fuji returned after a good half hour carrying a food tray for Tezuka. He made him chicken soup; warmed sweet bread and honey lemon tea.

“I can eat in the dining room you know. This is not necessary.” He complained but appreciative at the same time. Fuji touched his forehead in response and instantly noticed Tezuka’s fever had flared up.

“You need to eat so I can give you something for your fever.” Fuji sat on the side of the bed and held Tezuka’s hand. “I need you to get better soon. It gets cold at night without you next to me.” Soft loving eyes gleamed at Tezuka. He had no words to say, he held Fuji’s cheek and brushed his thumb to feel his lips.

“I miss those lips already.” Tezuka expressed his desire to kiss Fuji. Fuji closed his eyes and sighed. He stood up quickly and turned to leave the room. Tezuka, surprised by the unexpected reaction, watched Fuji as he stopped by the bedroom door.

“No kissing until you’re better Kunimitsu!” And with that Fuji closed the door leaving Tezuka with his bowl of chicken soup, warmed sweet bread and honey lemon tea.
