Kazuki hummed thoughtfully, and closed his eyes as Deuce laid a hand on his forehead. His skin was so nice and cool, he couldn't help but lean into the touch.

"If you're going to cook, I want to move to the couch," he eventually answered. He didn't care where he rested, but he did want company. "We can open a window there."

[majimekun]

"Alright then. Need me to help you get up?" He said as he extended a hand. This was also routine, not that Deuce minded. He'd never thought he'd have any sort of relationship routine after all, even if it was for not so great reasons.

[forsaintcecilia]

"Thanks," Kazuki took Deuce's had, and hefted himself up. It was nice to have a boyfriend. That meant that he never had to worry about overpowering his partner in situations like this.

He felt pretty steady on his feet, but he still kept a hand on Deuce's shoulder. Maybe because, well, he just liked keeping up the contact. He didn't let go until he sat down on the couch with a soft sigh of relief.

"I really hope this stuff isn't contagious..."

[majimekun]

Deuce isn't weak and if he had to, he probably could have carried Kazuki in there if he'd had to. "...I think it's a bit too late to worry about that," he sighed, rubbing the back of his neck and then laughed. "Don't worry it's like they say: idiots don't catch colds."

He walked over and opened a window. "Is there anything else you need right away?"

[forsaintcecilia]

Swoon! Carry him over the to the couch like a groom stepping past the threshold of his bride's new home!

"I heard that a lot when I was in school. If that were true, I'd be the healthiest person on earth," he moaned, just loud enough for Deuce to hear. "No, I'm okay, thanks."

Kazuki laid down, his head resting on the arm of the couch, his sweaty back facing the window that had just been opened. He'll start feeling chills after a couple of minutes, but right now, it was sweet relief. Like coming in from the heat and opening your refrigerator.

[majimekun]

Maybe one day he will. And hopefully not throw his back out, because they're both close enough in size.

"Alright then, I'll be in the kitchen. And back to close the window in a bit." Because he knows that soon this guy will have the opposite problem. Deuce is stupid, but he's also managed to catch on to a lot by now. He grabs an apron and begins to get to work, preparing food. Nothing too wild, just chicken soup, chockfull of vegetables and that, because unless it's something with eggs, he's a simple guy.

"Are you sure you don't want anything else?" He called out from the kitchen.

[forsaintcecilia]

It helps that Kazuki was such an open book that he was more like one of those fold out instruction manuals that come with electronics, in 14 different languages for your convenience. He was almost entirely doofus-proof.

"No," he insisted again. Once his back cooled off sufficiently, he turned around so it was facing the back of the couch. "It smells really good. I want what you're making."

At least he could still smell? Which meant it was probably not the Virus-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named.

[majimekun]

You say that, but this is a pretty big doofus stirring a pot in the kitchen. Maybe that's why they work so well together though.

"...are you just saying that because I'm cooking it?" He laughed a little, smiling though, and gave it a taste test before he left it to simmer and went back to close the window. "Cooled off enough? Or are you too cold now?"

[forsaintcecilia]

"No!"

But, yes. Maybe yes. He liked Deuce's food, even if it wasn't exactly to his tastes, because he knew someone had made it especially for him. And he wasn't picky at all, so he didn't care. Something home cooked was best when you were sick anyways.

"You can close the window," because was right, of course. "Do you know where the blanket is?"

[majimekun]

"I was joking. Or trying to at least," Deuce laughed, not minding. He wasn't the best at teasing, being pretty straightforward in general, but sometimes it was fun.

"Oh, was it over here?" He poked around a little, before he found it and draped it over Kazuki. "Feeling a little more comfortable now?" He rested his hand on Kazuki's forehead again. "Well you're a little cooler now, but still hot."

[forsaintcecilia]

"I can't joke about your cooking! That's going too far!" Absolutely beyond the pale! "You're so nice to take care of me, even when I'm this pathetic..."

When Deuce laid the blanket on him, and touched his forehead again, he sighed.

"I feel like a little kid. This isn't attractive at all..."

[majimekun]

"I mean I can't exactly ignore you when you're like this, now can I?" He's trying to joke and maybe sound a little tough, but he doesn't feel like it. He'd panicked the first time this happened and Kazuki got ill. Sometimes he's still anxious.

"...you're still cute though," Deuce smiled and patted Kazuki's head. Really cute. Okay sometimes the coughing and sweating isn't cute at all, but it's not like he's never had an off day.

[forsaintcecilia]

"Just cute is..."

Well, okay, he could deal with cute. Maybe when he was younger, and fighting for every last scrap of masculinity in order to assure himself of his own straightness, cute didn't satisfy him, but... Now he was fine with positive attention from anyone, and especially from his boyfriend.

"I guess that's fine."

[majimekun]

"You know I think you're attractive, right?" He sighed realizing he might have hit a nerve. But if he just thought Kazuki was only "cute" they probably would have a very different relationship.

"Should I just avoid the 'C' word then?" He smiled though and then got up for a moment to check on the soup.

[forsaintcecilia]

"No, I like it," he admitted rather matter of factly, twisting around and propping his chin on the arm of the couch so he could watch Deuce in the kitchen. "As long as it's not just cute. Telling me I'm attractive helps too."

[majimekun]

"Then fine, you're very attractive. One of the most attractive men I've ever met, and I went to school with super models..." There's a joking tone to his voice, but it's also true.

"It's almost ready. I'll bring some out to you, alright?"

[forsaintcecilia]

"I'm not surprised. All of your friends are... It's kind of amazing."

Not that Kazuki was one to talk. His friends were ridiculously attractive too. This is what happens when you're from a visual novel.

"Okay," he turned on his side and rested his cheek on the arm of the couch. He could close his eyes for a little bit.

[majimekun]

Well honestly, if Kazuki wasn't appealing to him, Deuce wouldn't still be here. He's not nearly that selfless and wouldn't do this all for just anyone.

But he decides to get back to work, letting Kazuki rest up a bit and once it's ready, he brings out two bowls on a tray and sets it aside, poking Kazuki's cheek carefully. "Hey, time to eat."

[forsaintcecilia]

Kazuki mumbles, and reaches his arms out stiff in front of him to stretch, trying and warm his muscles up, and there's a pretty audible pop as he does so.

"Man, I'm not old enough for that..."

He gets up slowly, and kneads one hand into his neck.

"It's not like I'm an office worker or something."

[majimekun]

"...you're just being forced to lie down too much, that's all. Maybe you can go jogging with me again if you get better." He sat down and watched him for a moment.

"Want me to feed you?" It's an offer, but not one he'll push least he embarrass Kazuki too much.

[forsaintcecilia]

"That sounds great, actually," Kazuki replied, then sat for a moment, enough time for someone to actually write out (...)

"T-to go jogging, I mean!"

[majimekun]

"Oh just the jogging?" He laughs a that but he picks up his own bowl and does eat. "But you should eat before it gets cold. I don't think it'll taste good at room temperature."

He could pick on Kazuki just a little more, but Deuce actually isn't that good at it. He's too straightforward.

[forsaintcecilia]

"Don't tease me, I can't fight back," Kazuki moaned, and picked up his bowl to eat. He didn't have any trouble eating, thank goodness. He might just wither away if he couldn't enjoy food anymore.

"...Thank you."

[majimekun]

"Don't mention it," he said as he continued to eat and then looked at him. "Just... you know, take care of yourself a little more next time."

"I'm you're boyfriend, so yeah, lean on me." That sounded right, yeah?
