You clenched your jaw and sat still, allowing the doctor to inject your arm with medicine. Your hand tightly clutched in your boyfriends. You looked away from the needle in an attempt to lessen the pain.

"All done!" You heard him say.

You looked at your arm, noting the 4 bandaids littering your skin. You wiped away the few droplets of tears that escaped your eyes. You looked at your boyfriend, Minori.

He smiled gently at you and patted your head. "No more for today. Don't worry." He said.

A wave of relief passed over you.

"I'm glad!" You grinned. It's been like this for as long as you've been dating Minori.

You are a 23 year old living with your boyfriend. Minori noticed it even before you did. It started with small colds, simple things that were easy to get over. Then they would linger. Then fevers came. Then puking came-.

Eventually your health went so down hill everything seemed like a hazy dream. The doctors were confused and gave you things to treat your symptoms- not your illness. So now you experience getting sick rather easily and lots of fevers.

Minori was with you the whole time. Even your family left your side- which wasn't like them at all- he stayed when no one else would.

Pretty soon your contact with your family just kind of stopped. It was sad but... surely soon you'd have the strength to visit and explain everything.

Once you got home after your quite regular doctors appointment, you laid down on the couch.

"Minori..." you mumbled in a soft tone, covering your tired eyes with your arm. You heard him walk from the kitchen and lean over the back of the couch.

"Hm?" He hummed.

"Aren't I such a burden to you?" You asked.

"A burden? Oh darling." He made his way to the front of the couch and took your hand, pulling it away from your face. "You could never be a burden to me. I don't mind you depending on me so much... in fact, I quite like it." He smiled softly.

Your frown still didn't leave. "If... you say so."

He grave your hand a firm squeeze before standing up and heading back to the kitchen. Before he could turn the corner however he looked back at you and said "Besides, I'm the only one who is willing to take care of you. Without me you'd be alone." With that, he disappeared into the kitchen.

You blinked. That... sounded a little odd. But you shook your head. You're sure he didn't mean anything by it! Besides you supposed it was true.

You curled up in a ball and went to sleep, wrapping the blanket you always kept there. You were unaware of how Minori truly felt.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

You were awoken by someone gently shaking your shoulders. You let out a groan.

"(Y/n)~... it's time to get up." Minori cooed in your ear.

You buried your head in the cushions of the couch. "But I'm so tiredddd..." you whined in a muffled tone.

He let out a light giggle. "Now, now you have to eat."

You glared before slowly sitting up which seemed to please Minori. He helped you to your feet and immediately you felt weak.

He wrapped an arm under your waist to help you stand. You instinctively grabbed onto his shirt while his hand held your own.

You managed to make your way to the dining room. He placed mashed potatoes and baked vegetables in front of you. It did smell good...

You reached your hand up to grab your fork however, it began to shake rapidly. You quickly hid your hand from him and looked down in embarrassment.

He chuckled. "(Y/n) don't feel ashamed." He took ahold of the fork and stabbed a piece of carrot. He gently tilted your face up and held the carrot up to your lips.

You hesitantly bit your lip before opening your mouth. He placed the food in your mouth and chewed.

It tasted bitter.

But somehow it still tasted good...

"Mmm! It's good!" You said with a smile, a blush sprinkled on your face.

He smiled. "I'm glad!"

This was how it usually was. Minori was a great man! He did everything for you. Your laundry, the food, the shopping, the bills, the money making- everything! He was more than help and better than anything you could ever ask for.

He was also sweet, kind, caring, and oh so loving. He only ever treated you as if you were a delicate rose he wanted to protect.

It was... comforting.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Minori buttoned up the top buttons of your nightgown. You sat on the bed with a pout on your face.

"I can change my clothes myself you know..." you mumble. A light blush colored on your face from him seeing you in your undergarments.

"I know but I like taking care of you." He moved his hands to your cheeks and leaned in, gently kissing your lips.

Your face got hotter.

He pulled back. "So forgive me. I just love it so much."

You huffed. "W-who said you could have a kiss?" You glanced away to hide your blush.

Minori smirked. "Who said you could stop me?"

A blush spread across your face. "M-Min-!" Before you could protest he pressed his lips firmly against yours. He kissed you and kissed you and kissed you. He cracked his eyes open and pulled away with a smirk. "Do you need more?"

You opened your mouth to speak however he promptly shut you up by kissing you again. His lips gently worked against your own. You let out a groan from the depths of your throat making him pull away.

"Mmm...it's been 2 years and you still blush so much~." He said with a smirk on his face.

You covered your face in embarrassment making the young male chuckle.

"Anyway... it's bed time now." He picked you up and moved you to be under the covers. He pulled them up to your chin and got off the bed.

You quickly realized. "You're not staying?"

He shook his head. "Sorry I'll come later... There's some bills I have to pay."

You frowned. "Ok..." you mumbled, a little disappointed. You wouldn't be able to steal his warmth!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

You felt burning in your throat making you open your eyes. You don't even remember falling asleep... you glance at the clock.

2AM.

You would've fallen back asleep but you were dying for a glass of water. You reached for Minori only to find the spot empty. He was still doing bills?

You sat up and slowly stood up, immediately feeling the familiar cold wave of light headedness. You opened your mouth to call for Minori but your throat was so dry you couldn't.

You slowly opened the door and made your way out the room. Your fingers ran along the walls of the dark hallway to the kitchen.

"Minori?" You softly called, noticing the kitchen light was on. But he wasn't there.

You sighed and just decided to do it yourself. You went over to the cabinets and scanned them with a blank look. Which one had the cups in them again?

You open one and found plates. Nope.

You shut it.

The next one had bowls. Nope!

You shut that one too.

You opened another only for your entire body to freeze.

Pills!?

Not just a few- but dozens and dozens of bottles. Your stomach turned. Why were there so many? All with different names. You were sure you didn't take that many.

You reached your hand out to grab one of the bottles you didn't recognize. You squinted at the name, your vision however was blurred from being so dehydrated. You were about to make it out only for the sound of glass shattering to bring you from your concentrated state.

You jumped and whipped around to see Minori there with wide eyes and a look of shock on his face. A glass had slipped from his hands.

"(Y/n)..." he quickly seemed to snap out of his shock and made his way over to you. "What are you doing up? And why are you snooping around?" He moved you aside slightly, taking the bottle from your hand and closed it in the cabinet.

"I...wanted.. a drink..." You muttered. "Why...why are there so many pills? And... why are they all-."

"If you wanted a drink why didn't you just come find me? You know you're much too weak to stand for so long on your own." He said, cutting you off as he pressed his hand against your forehead. "And you're running a fever now..." he mumbled. His face riddled with concern.

You gently reached up and grabbed onto his hand, holding it tightly. "Minori... what's going on?" You asked timidly while looking into his eyes.

He gave you a small smile. "Nothing is going on my love... you're just sick is all. Now why don't you go back to bed? I'll get you a glass of water." He moved in to grab ahold of your arm but you pulled back.

"No- Minori tell me!" You said. "That isn't normal... I- I don't take that many pills do I?" You questioned backing to the counter behind you.

"Perhaps you do..." he mumbled, seemingly growing a little upset.

You glared at him. "I-I know I don't! You're hesitating as well which makes me think something is going on."

He stayed silent for a moment as if he wasn't sure how he could respond. He opened his mouth to speak but held back for a moment. "Well... (Y/n)." He sighed. "It's quite late my darling..." he seemed to force a smile back. "We can discuss this in the morning. Now off to bed." He once again went to grab you but you reeled back.

"No way!" You yelled. "Minori I want to know now what's going on!?"

His fake smile dropped in an instant and a dark shadow seemed to cast over his eyes. In an instant you felt the air change.

"For the last time..." his voice was much more firm. "...it would be wise if we went to bed for now. We ca-"

"STOP IT!" You wanted answers. "Tell m-!"

You didn't notice him raise his hand. A harsh wack across your cheek cut off your words. Your head tilted to the side from the impact. A wave of shock hit you like a ton of bricks. You slowly looked back at him, raising a hand to your stinging cheek.

H-he.... he slapped you?!

You were going to speak but he stared down at you with eyes you've never seen before. They were beyond pissed.

"You...little idiot!!" He grabbed your hair making you cry out and struggled to stay on your feet.

"M-Minori!?"

"You're sick! You hear me? Don't you ever raise your voice at me again!! You're so ungrateful!" His voice was harsh as he pulled at your hair.

You let out a cry in pain. "Minori!! You cried, tears seeping from your eyes. "Stop it!! Please!! I'm sorry- please you're hurting me!"

He paused, his fingers slowly loosening their grip on your scalp. You sank to the floor, curling up in a ball. Hot tears streamed down your face. You were sobbing.

You didn't know what you really did wrong? What happened?! Why did he do that...

You heard Minori let out a long sigh. Cold fingers ran through your hair making you flinch. You looked at him, noting he was now in a crouching position near you. You tried to move away.

"N-no-!"

"Shh... it's okay my love. I'm not going to hurt you." He muttered in a calm voice. He sat you up and pulled your towards him, wrapping one arm around your waist and another behind your head. You clung to his shirt and simply cried.

"I'm sorry..." he mumbled, rubbing your back gently. "I don't know what came over me... I'm so sorry (Y/n). Please forgive me..."

"W-what did I- I do wrong?" You stuttered out. Your brain was all over the place and you were afraid of him getting upset again.

"Nothing... you did nothing wrong." He whispered, hugging you closer to him. "But darling... please don't do anything without my permission. I don't want you getting hurt. You need to listen to me, understand?" His voice was stern but still calm.

You wrapped your arms around his neck and buried your face close to him while your tears soaked his shirt. "I will! I-I'm sorry-... I-I-I'm sorry!!"

"Shhh..." he hushed you and gently rocked you back and forth. "You poor thing... you're trembling yet you're still so weak." He gently kissed the side of your head. "My darling I love you so much... don't you see that?" He whispered in your ear.

"I-I love you too." You whispered as you felt your throat getting dryer by the second. "Minori?" You said in a timid voice.

"Hm?" He hummed in response, still rocking you gently back and forth.

"I-I... m-my throat... h-hurts... I-I want water p-please."

He gently patted your head and pulled back with a smile. "Of course~." He let go of you and stood up. You sniffed and rubbed your eyes, about to stand up, but he didn't allow you to. "I want you to sit there. I don't want you standing up too quickly yet my dear." His usual smile was back.

You didn't answer, only nodded. Everything felt hazey, almost like it wasn't real. A part of you couldn't accept that, that was Minori.

Once the clock struck 3 Minori helped you up and carried you back to bed. He slept next to you, hugging you close the whole night.

You didn't know what to do. You've never seen him lash out like that... not even a little bit. He's always been so calm and gentle.

You snuggled up next to him, feeling a few tears slip from your eyes. Perhaps it was time to reconnect with your family.

The next day you woke up with a throbbing headache. Minori was still fast asleep, hugging your waist close to his body.

You shifted uncomfortably and poked his face. "Minori..." You mumbled.

His eye twitched and he shifted slightly. You pouted and poked his cheek again.

He let out a groan and buried his face in your hair. "Good morning (Y/n)......" he whispered in a sleepy tone.

You smiled. "I'm hungryyy...!" You said with a little whine in your voice. You felt him smile and shift to look at you.

"Alright...but!" He suddenly rolled himself on top of you and pinned your shoulders down. "Not without my morning kisses." He leaned in and kissed you deeply on the lips.

You didn't really kiss back. Your body was too weak and you were still kind of upset with him. He pulled away only to go back and kiss you once again.

He finally leaned back and ran a hand through his messy black hair. "I'll get food started then come back to get you okay?" He said.

You nodded as he got off of you and walked out of the room, notably closing the door behind him.

You narrowed your eyes. He never did that. He was always so worried about not being able to hear you. So why?

You heard his footsteps protruding down the hallway and slowly you sat up. Time to find your phone!

You hadn't really needed it lately so you didn't have the slightest clue as to where it could be.

Slowly and carefully you got up from the bed. You felt stronger today! Stronger than you ever have lately!

You made your way around the room and looked in the drawers and in the closet but you couldn't find anything. You furrowed your brows in confusion. Where did your phone go?

The door suddenly opened scaring you. You looked over and saw Minori who stood there with an expression you couldn't read.

"You're standing up?" He questioned and made his way over to you. You flinched naturally but smiled.

"Yes, I felt strong enough to! ....is that...bad?" You questioned cautiously.

He smiled down at you and patted your head. "No. Of course not! It's just...be careful so you don't faint okay?" He said.

I nodded. "I will!"

He grabbed your arm and wrapped it around your waist carefully. "Then... lets go to breakfast. Shall we?"

You nodded

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

After breakfast the two of you were laying on the couch with you snuggled up tightly between his arms and his chest. The TV created a little illumination in the darkened room.

But you weren't focused on that.

"Minori...?" You called suddenly.

He hummed in response.

"I have a question." You muttered hesitantly, feeling his fingers run through your (h/c) hair with delicacy. You leaned in to his hand.

"What is it?" He asked in a calm voice.

"I... I was wondering if..." you felt incredibly nervous about asking. Why? There wouldn't be a reason for him to say no-. So why were you so worried. "If... maybe I could call my family-" you felt his fingers tighten around you. "-by myself."

His smile dropped into an emotionless stare. "Why?" He inquired.

"I want to talk to them again... it's been a while, ya know?" You said with a nervous smile.

"No." He said coldly. "I forbid it."

You swallowed thickly sensing his mild frustration. "But.. I've felt better later! And I think they might-."

"I said no." He narrowed his eyes. "Besides... what makes you think they'll take your illness as seriously as I do?" Despite his words he still sounded a little calm.

You glanced away from him, losing your confidence. "W-well maybe if they hear me..." you mumbled.

"What did I say?" Minori asked not letting you even attempt to finish.

You teared up a bit hearing his harsh tone. "O...ok." You mumbled, clutching onto his shirt.

He let out a sigh and pulled you closer, leaning his head in your neck. "I just don't want you getting hurt." He muttered.

"I won't..." and although you wanted to continue and protest you knew he wouldn't listen.

He tilted his head slightly to look at you. "I'm just protecting you my love." He smiled gently and rubbed his face up against yours. "You know that right?"

You stared at the floor with a frustrated feeling in your chest.

"Yes..." was all you said. But a part of you wasn't so sure. Then... you thought of an idea.

If you couldn't find your phone and he clearly doesn't want you to then maybe it's in the one place you never go. His study room!

Minori had a room in the back of the house he only ever went to when you weren't with him. It was where he did bills and taxes and other things pertaining to that sort of thing. He's always said he doesn't want you in there simple so you 'don't mess things up!'.

However, you were beginning to think there was more in that room than you knew.

"Hey... Minori!" You said suddenly. "I'm really really tired right now..." you stretched up and let out a small yawn. You wiggled around to face him and wrapped your arms around his neck. "We should take a nap together."

He rose a brow with a small smirk. "Hmm?? Is that what you want?"

You nodded.

He hummed. "I don't know... I'm really not that tired."

You gave him a pout, an attempt to act cuter. "You want me to sleep alone? In the cold??"

He let out a small laugh. "If you insist." Before you could react he scooped you up bridal style and stood up. You yelped and grabbed onto his shirt.

"Though... it's rather strange you're tired." He mumbled, more to himself as he carried you to the room the two of you shared.

You tilted your head. "Why do you say that?" You asked.

He shook his head slightly then smiled. "No... it's nothing. Forget it!"
