Summary: When Inoo collapsed on Hikaru’s lap. For nabila_pd.
Hearing the door’s creaked open, Hikaru stopped playing his bass and turned his head to Inoo, who walked in with shoulders slumped down.
“’Morning…” Inoo gave a weak greeting.
“What’s the matter?” Hikaru asked since there was obviously something off about the resident college student. But Inoo didn’t answer him. Instead, he walked straight to the couch where Hikaru was sitting, slumped down on the empty space available and laid his head on Hikaru’s lap without minding the bass Hikaru still had in his arms.
“Oi, oi, Inoo-chan!” Hikaru put away his bass and gently shook Inoo’s shoulder. “What’s wrong with you? Are you sick?” The tone of worriness in his voice was very audible. He got even more worried when he noticed Inoo’s breath pace was quicker than normal.
“Just… a bit nauseous…,” Inoo whispered. “Nothing serious…”
“ What ‘nothing serious’ if your state is like this?!”
“Don’t worry… I’ll be fine in a while…”
“I have herbal medicine with me.”
“No, Hikaru. No medicine. Just let me rest…”
“If you say so.” Hikaru half-heartedly sighed in defeat. “Do you want me to stay?”
“Mm…”
“So… since when did you start feeling nauseous?”
“Since this morning before I went to campus,” Inoo answered. “Ne, Hikaru. Can you massage my shoulders?”
“You should get up first. I can’t massage you if you’re laying like this.” Hikaru got a hold of Inoo’s arms and helped the sick boy to raise his body from his position.
“Then I’ll just sit like this.” Inoo faced the wall and placed his chin on the back of the couch, partly to stifle his quick breath. He grabbed a pillow a pressed it to his chest when Hikaru started giving his shoulders repetitious light pressure.
“You should just rest at your house if you don’t feel well like this, you know?” Hikaru suggested. “Don’t push tourself too much.”
“It’s okay. I’m fine-MMPFH!” Inoo pressed his palms on his mouth in a sudden. He was trying to suppress the pressure which was forcefully making its way out from his throat.
“Oi, oi! Are you gonna throw up?!”
He shaked his head frantically.
“Don’t be stubborn! You can’t puke here! Hold on! I’ll take you to the bathroom!”
“You don’t need-” Inoo had no chance to finish his sentence when a loud and pretty long sound of burping came out from his wide-opened mouth.
Hikaru was stunned; his mouth gaped.
“Aaah. Feels good,” was what Inoo said after that. He smiled wide and satisfied. “I shouldn’t have drunk too much cola.”
“Cola?”
“Cola is more effective tha coffee, so I drank cans of them last night to keep me awake-I had to finish and submit my render today,” he explained. He put the pillow on Hikaru’s lap and adjusted it before he rested on it. “Now this feels much better-whoops!”
Inoo yelped as the pillow suddenly disappeared from under his head along with Hikaru’s thighs, and the fluffy object unexpectedly landed hard on his faceless than a second after.
“I’m stupid for worrying over your stupidity,” Hikaru grunted and left Inoo alone.
“Meanie.” Inoo stucked out his tongue at Hikaru’s direction. He looked around the room to find another pillow, then caught a sight of Yamada who had just arrived. “Hey, hey! Yama-chan, come here!”
“Eh?” The younger boy raised his eyebrow at the sudden invitation.
“Just come here and sit,” Inoo said, patting the vacant seat beside him.
Yamada followed what Inoo told him and curiously asked, “What is it, Inoo-chan?”
Inoo didn’t answer and he just placed his head on Yamada’s lap without asking the latter’s permission. Yamada was very surprised by Inoo’s sudden action. Moreover, having the older boy sleeping on his lap felt very awkward, especially when it was Inoo’s first time doing that to him.
He stammered, “E-eh? Inoo-chan-”
“As expected, Yama-chan’s lap is very comfortable.“ Inoo snuggled. Furthermore, he circled his arms around Yamada’s thighs, making Yamada felt all weirder but couldn’t do anything about it nonetheless.
“’Morning!” The door swung open and Chinen stepped into the room. He saw Yamada and Hikaru (the once-blond guy was sitting on a far corner, browsing through some out-dated magazines which was scattered on the coffee table) and said, “Oh? You gusy are early. That’s rare…”
Then his eyes fixed on the last person he found in the room who was comfortably sleeping on Yamada’s lap.
“Er…” Beads of cold sweat trickled down on Yamada’s forehead.
Chinen nodded with all sarcasm he had. “Ho…”
“No! Chinen! It’s not like what you think!” Yamada panicked and tried to explain the situation, but he didn’t get the chance to do so since Chinen intentionally ignored him and stormed out of the room.
Yamada would have run after him. If only the Inoo Kei didn’s act as if he were an octopus with two stubborn tentacles slithering around his legs.
