Knights Need To Be Healthy

Despite how Ata would pay close attention to his health, he would still catch a cold occasionally.

And it was always a miserable experience. He hated how it made him feel so helpless, hated that he would need someone else to help him through it.

He had told Taiju and Maasa how he was doing, but saying that he could handle himself. It was a lie, but he didn't want to bother them…

But with how hazy his head was from the illness, he had forgotten that, despite his parents being out for work for a few weeks, he wasn't alone in his house. Furanui was there, and he just needed to look at Ata to realize he wasn't well.

Ata had tried to argue that he could handle himself, but Furanui had already changed into his human form and started going back and forth through the house to get things for him, saying he needed his knights to be healthy.

Ata could tell he wasn't gonna listen to his protests, so he had no option but just lean back on his bed and actually rest, letting Furanui take care of him.

He couldn't remember the last time someone had looked over him like that. Be it because his parents were busy or because he just wouldn't let others do it…

It was unfamiliar, but still nice. He hadn't expected Furanui to care so much, but it was a pleasant surprise.

Although, he couldn't help but be flustered with how Furanui wouldn't hesitate to touch his face for whatever reason he needed. Or when he would touch Ata's hair to keep it out of the way when needed…

He wondered if Furanui's hands were as warm as they seemed, or if it was just his fever making it seem so…
