I'd only been dating Yusei for a short time so I didn't go in his room often, but I made an exception when it came to taking care of him. He'd been ill with the flu for the past few days, and insisted he didn't need a doctor. I'd agreed on the condition that I could keep a close eye on him. I tried unsuccessfully not to make too much of a fuss, but it wasn't just me that reacted that way.

Everyone pitched in to try and make Yusei feel better. Crow made him bowls of soup, while Aki, Rua and Ruka came to visit a few times, and Jack's been hovering around the whole time. Usually Jack would keep quiet but sometimes he'd make comments about how 'Yusei should be up and about by now', sounding as if he expected him to just shrug it off. Of course, Yusei was doing his best to make sure everyone stopped worrying, but it's not like he could just spontaneously recover (something I'd told Jack with annoyance).

I walked in to Yusei's room that morning to check on him, only to see he wasn't resting, but typing something on his laptop. He was still quite flushed and looked tired, though it was an improvement from the previous day where he couldn't even sit up.

"Hey... you should be resting!" I said with an attempt at sternness. "You need to get your strength back!"

"Don't worry, I'm feeling a lot better" He croaked, not sounding better at all. I noticed the glass on his bedside table was empty, and moved to refill it when Yusei started coughing. I left with the glass hastily, finding the nearest sink and returning to Yusei with a full glass in no time. His coughing had subsided by then, and he took the glass gratefully, thanking me hoarsely.

"Sure you're better." I told him with disbelief. I sighed, hating to see him like this. "Let me take your temperature."

Yusei let me put the thermometer in his mouth and waited for it to beep to indicate it was done. I took it from him and examined it. "It's just under 100°."

"That's better than before, at least." He said, attempting a small smile. Honestly, his constant insistence that I shouldn't worry was getting annoying. Of course I would worry, what did he expect?!

I harrumphed. "You just need to get well soon... c-cause it's really inconvenient, that's all... besides, Jack's constant whining is annoying." I said with a huff, cheeks heating up slightly as Yusei watched me with amusement.

"Sorry for the trouble" He said with a small chuckle and a suppressed cough.

"Don't apologise!" I snapped half-heartedly. "It's not your fault, stupid. J-just get some rest so you can recover, okay?!"

He complied and laid back down in bed, while I leaned over to make sure his blanket covered him. He gave me a look that meant 'I can do it myself', but didn't say it aloud so I didn't acknowledge it.

"Will you stay here for a bit? I don't think I can sleep just yet. We can talk until I'm a bit more tired." He said, though if you asked me, he looked about ready to pass out.

"...Fine. But don't push yourself, I don't care if you fall asleep on me." I answered with a slight huff. It was more of a habit for me to huff than an expression of reluctance or annoyance or anything like that, but Yusei noticed it.

"It's okay if you don't want to. Besides, I don't want you getting ill too." Yusei said. It wasn't the first time in the past few days that he'd found a way to worry about me coming down with something while he was in this condition.

"I don't care about that-" I was about to add 'worry about yourself for once, idiot.'

"Well I do." His blue eyes looked sincerely concerned, as if he thought I could just avoid him while he was like this.

"Whatever, I'm staying here until you fall asleep, okay?" I huffed for real this time.

He chuckled. "If you insist."

I wanted to retort that he'd asked first, but decided to leave it. I watched him yawn, still slightly hoarse, and shift slightly to get more comfortable. I couldn't help but notice how damn cute his tired, slightly flushed face was. I looked away, trying not to think too much about that. His eyes drifted closed, and I could tell he wouldn't be able to hold a conversation much longer. I just watched him for a while. It was odd, seeing him like this. Yusei had always been a source of strength for not just me, but all of our friends. But here he looked so vulnerable. Though I had to admit it was nice to see his face looking all cute, I still hated it when he was like this.

Quietly, I leaned towards his resting form, brushing some of his fringe out of his face. Trying not to rouse him, I placed a soft kiss on his forehead. He shifted slightly, and I moved back to see him watching me with half-lidded eyes. I blushed a bright shade of red and practically jumped back.

"What did I say about you getting ill?" He said, looking like he was trying not to smile. "Though I don't mind you kissing me." He added.

"D-don't get used to that kind of thing, okay?" Being as awkward as I was, I hadn't really shown him that sort of romantic affection before. "I-It's just cause you're sick."

He smiled faintly, closing his eyes again, looking half-asleep. But before he drifted off, I heard him mumble "We'll see about that."
A hopefully cute exchange between a sick Yusei and his slightly Tsundere girlfriend. Hope you enjoy.


...I am bad at descriptions.
