CHAPTER TEN

[Name] entered the kitchen and stopped at the sink, where he placed the small basin and turned on the tap. After filling the basin with the proper amount of water, he shut the faucet and picking up the tiny basin with a towel on it and the meal tray, before heading at Tsukishima's room.

He then approached the room slowly, revealing a turf of blonde hair poking out from beneath the thick duvet. Slowly approaching the bed, I sat in the chair and placed the meal tray and tiny basin on the nightstand.

'His burning hot...' [Name] thought before taking the now-dry cloth from Tsukishima's forehead and replacing it with a new one to reduce the heat. "It's unusual to see him get sick." He furrowed his brows as he heard the teen groan.

"Okaa-san?"

Tsukishima grumbled and opened an eye to look at him. "It's me, [Name], your mother told me to look after you." The [color]-rette grumbled before ruffling the sick teen's golden locks, who subconsciously leaned in for the contact. "Get up, I cooked you some chicken soup." The [color]-rette said as he helped Tsukishima sit up. Tsukishima was still dazed when [Name] feed him.

[Name] observe the blond gulp down the warm contents. Now that he think about it, the blonde looks so weak when they are sick. He got out of his chair and collected the used water-filled basin, but just as he was about to leave and change the water, he heard sniffles.

"I'm sorry..."

When the taller one turned around to see the blond crying, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he became immobile in his standing position. Tsukishima brushed his tears away as he looked down at his half-eaten food.

"I...hic...sorry...I...I didn't know how my words took a big hit on you, I know that you'll never forgive me for what I did."

[Name]'s eyes softened, even though Tsukishima didn't see it. [Name] could easily tell that his apology was genuine, despite the fact that Tsukishima is sick and probably wouldn't remember this later, [Name] left the room to change the water.

Soon after, he returned to find the blond asleep, with some quiet snores coming from his mouth. [Name] then laid the basin down and twisted the cloth to keep the water out while wiping Tsukishima's arms, neck, and face.

"Why are you so unfair, Kei? No matter how hard I tried to forget my feelings for you, they've just come back in life. I can't bear to see you like that, Kei, I forgive you." [Name] kissed Tsukishima's forehead before setting the damp cloth, and immediately a raging blush ran up to his neck to his face as he dashed out the door and leaned on it.

'Oh no...just what did I just do?!'
