Kurodai and 15 for the h/c prompts!
15. You need to eat something “You need to eat something”
Daichi’s voice is muffled through the thick layer of blankets Kuroo is currently nestled in on the couch. On the couch, and not in bed like Daichi would have him be, because being sick sucks and he can at least use it as an excuse to watch TV all day. Except, he slept through most of it and now that Daichi’s voice woke him, the pulsing headache and the feeling his entire body has been replaced by heavy wet cotton have returned. It’s easier instead to burrow his face further in the thick blanket and avoid whatever Daichi wants to ask of him right now.
“Tetsu,” Daichi’s voice is gentler this time as he pulls back the blanket away from Kuroo’s face. “You need to eat something.”
Kuroo sees the slight frown on Daichi’s face and the genuine concern on his face and okay maybe he feels a bit guilty for ignoring him in the first place.
“ ‘not hungry” Kuroo protests, because he really isn’t. The only thing he’d like to have right now is more cold medicine, because at least that made him feel slightly less like was dying.
Ah, there it is. That smile on Daichi’s face when his patience is wearing thin. The one that normally would have Kuroo trying to push his limit further to see where that goes, but he’s not gonna try his luck with that today. “Okay, what do you have?”
“You have the choice between a fine selection of soup without crackers and soup without crackers because you forgot to buy them last week.” “...Okay, that’s fair.”
----“I’m sorry” Kuroo says, voice soft even though his throat felt much better after getting some cold syrup after eating. Daichi finally managed to coax him back to bed so now Kuroo gets to press his whole body against him and leech off Daichi’s warmth and okay, maybe he should have agreed to that hours ago. “For what?” Daichi asks, turning his head to look at Kuroo.
“That you couldn’t go see your friends today because of me” “It’s okay, they’re in Tokyo for a few days so we just rescheduled. But, Kuroo-” “Hm?” “Maybe your ‘The rain won’t get to me if I run fast enough to the conbini’ theory isn’t as valid as you think it is, huh?” “Ah, but, Sawamura, science wouldn’t be as exciting without failures.” Kuroo answers, wide smile spreading on his face that makes Daichi shakes his head and sighs exasperatedly. “Just grab an umbrella next time ”
