I had thrown up once again this week. It'd been a hot summer and maybe the heat was making my conditions worse? Who knew?
Feeling the worst I've felt in a long time I decided to tell my roommate and childhood best friend, Kirishima.
He's just asleep down the hallway
I softly knock on the door and when there's no answer I assume he's asleep and not up playing video games. I quietly open the door and see the big man making up a huge lump under the covers.
As I get closer and the hallway light illuminates the bed better I see not one but too lumps softy breathing under the covers
I didn't know Becca was here. She's Kirishima's girlfriend. I guess what I think is that she's nice but quiet. I just don't know her all that well but I can see us being friends. She was always hanging out with that cute guy, Bakugo at UA and I thought they were together the whole time but I guess not.
"Uhm Kiri" I softly call out, not wanting to wake her. However, much to my dismay the girl opens her green eyes and looks up at me
"What's up?" She rubs her eyes after sitting up and my face erupts into a blush upon realizing that they're both naked under the blanket
"O-Oh! I'm so sorry was I interrupting a-?"
"Oh no no we weren't!Well... we did but uh do you need help?" She asks with concern upon looking at my pale skin illuminated by the hallway light
"Yeah...a little sick is all..again" I admit
I remember the first time she was here and I had gotten sick. I could see it in her eyes that she was concerned and wanted to help but Eijirou quickly took over
"Well I'm trained in some medical stuff I can help" she offers
"You would?" I ask in a raspy voice "I don't wanna deprive you from sleep"
"Nonsense. Just let me put something more... uh decent on and I'll be out in a sec" she smiles
"Ok" I say before walking out and letting her get dressed. As I patiently wait she soon comes out with some track shorts and what I recognize to be Kirishima's crimson riot shirt.
"You guys have a first aid kit?" She asks me as I nod my head yes and lead her to the bathroom
As we both enter the bathroom she turns on the light and had me sit on the toilet lid so she could get my temperature
"Symptoms?" She asks me as she grabs things she'll need to help me "Stomach ache, headache, I'm sore and I'm really nauseous"
"Hm? Ok have you thrown up?" She asks while grabbing a thermometer and walking towards me. "Yeah" I admit "How long ago?"
"Maybe like 10-15 minutes ago?" I estimate "Ok we should be good to get an accurate temp then" she says while handing me the thermometer "You wanna do it yourself?" She asks "I feel too weak to hold it" I confess
"Totally fine" she smiles before gently lifting my chin with her soft fingertips. "Open for me and let me put this under your tongue"
I do as she says and the whole process goes by quick. Soon the thermometer beeps in a high pitched tone, a tone I'm all too familiar with.
"Yup it's a fever" she looks at the thermometer with concentration. "Mind if I ask a few questions?"
"Not at all" I sigh
"Ok are you sweating a lot?" She raises an eyebrow. "Yeah I'm kinda drenched right now" I disclose. "Ok this might be good.. how long have you been feeling..well how would I say this? Uhm feverish, if you will"
"Since this morning" I acknowledge "But it wasn't bad until recently"
"So right now your temperature is 100.4 so it's like a low grade fever. If you're sweaty and you've been feeling like this for a bit I can assume your fever is breaking"
"Well that's good" I say with relief that it'll be over hopefully soon
"Want some water? Tylenol perhaps?" She asks me while wiping the thermometer off with an alcohol pad
"Just water for now please"
"That I can do" she goes to walk out of the bathroom before backing up "Uhm sorry what cabinet are cups in again?" She asks, embarrassed "Cabinet closet to the fridge" I smile at her
Ok maybe she isn't so bad actually. I enjoy having her around
