Aloo sat on the tile doubled over in pain, he had been throwing up for the past 30 minutes or so, Tao was at his side with a bottle of water and a rag. He hated seeing Aloo like this, it happend so suddenly after he came home, he was sitting at the kitchen table while Tao worked on making onigiri for them, when Aloo shot up from the table and darted to the bathroom, Tao didn't like it and Aloo hated it. Aloo was sobbing softly over the toilet, sickness was the thing he hated most, and things only got worse when Aloos nose started to bleed, he hated seeing blood, especially his own. His eyes were screwed tight as Tao cleaned him up and made sure the bleed stopped, which took 5 minutes, but Aloo was exhausted, ready for bed so Tao took him there. He stayed at his companions bedside for the night, the onigiri would have to wait for another day.
