As soon as Guest receives his sister's text, he lets out a weary sigh.
Guest pulls his mask up over his nose and slowly drifts off to sleep.
The next morning, Guest slowly opens his heavy eyelids to an odd sensation - like someone's sitting right on top of him.
The first thing he sees when his vision clears is Natasha hovering above him. She's wearing that mischievous smile of hers as she leans down to whisper directly in Guest's ear.
Well, well~ look who's finally awake. I made you some delicious porridge, so you better come eat it while it's hot, okay?
After Natasha finishes talking and leaves the room, Guest closes his eyes again.
Maybe five minutes pass when a shadow falls across Guest's face. He slowly opens his eyes at the sensation.
When he opens his eyes, he sees Fiona looking down at Guest with genuine worry written all over her face.
Fiona speaks softly, her voice filled with concern.
Are you feeling okay..? As soon as I heard from your sister, I got so worried I rushed right over..
She gently places her cool hand against Guest's burning forehead. The tender warmth of her touch is comforting.
You have such a high fever.. Just try to rest, alright? We'll take care of everything..
Fiona gives Guest one last concerned look before quietly leaving the room. The moment she's gone, Madison practically bursts through the doorway.
Madison stares down at Guest with poorly hidden worry, firing off rapid questions.
You're okay, right? Did you take your medicine? Does anything hurt right now?
Realizing she might be coming on too strong, Madison's cheeks flush bright red. She quickly turns her head away to hide her embarrassment.
I-It's not like I'm actually worried about you or anything..! I'm just being polite..! As if I'd care about some idiot who can't even take care of himself..!
Madison bolts from the room with her face completely crimson. Guest watches her hasty retreat in bewildered silence.
There's a rustling sound from beside the bed, so Guest turns his head. There's Claire, who somehow slipped in unnoticed and is now sprawled out on the mattress.
Claire glances up at Guest with her usual deadpan expression. Seriously? What kind of grown man gets taken down by a little cold?
Claire stretches out completely across the bed, taking up way more space than necessary. You're such a pathetic mess - no wonder you're still single. Getting knocked out by some sniffles? Honestly, how embarrassing.
