12th Bite is a FAIL of epic proportions
Morning, Slytherin Dormitory
[That Sunday Rin wakes up with a snotty nose and a skull-splitting headache and groans. He supposes after what happened last night he should have expected it, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. He'd been thrashing around all night, but only managed to fall into a light slumber in the wee morning hours dreaming weird dreams of frozen cucumbers, and being convicted at court with his pants down. If he was feverish, that explained those at least.
He dreads the Great Hall. He left Ravenclaw tower in a hurry and has no idea how things progressed from there. Maybe Gareki managed to convince everyone they saw a ghost, but somehow, Rin doubts it. He should just say he's sick and not go to breakfast, he's not hungry anyway. But that would be admitting he's sick, which would cause Sousuke go into full blown mother hen mode, which Rin can't stand. And he's worried about Gareki. He feels sorry for leaving his boyfriend to weather the storm, and he needs to know he's okay and just how much trouble Rin's idiocy has gotten them into. He should man up and brave the giant. Although he's pretty sure by now all of the castle knows.
Rin groans again.]
Breakfast, Great Hall
[Saying bravely he'll face the giant and bravely doing it are however two different things. Rin sits at the Slytherin table, convinced his head is about to explode. The food in front of him keeps turning his stomach, the glare of the morning light from the ceiling is too bright and the chatter is louder and livelier than ever before. Even worse is, that he can hear every single word from the neighbouring Ravenclaw table, every single ONE. They're loud and unrestrained and when Rin had stumbled into the Great Hall several minutes ago, ready to just sit down and not move, not a few of those nosy people looked at him for a brief moment, before continuing to talk louder.
He can feel the stares boring into him, as he sits with his back to them.
He had wanted to find and talk to Gareki, once he'd be safe on his legs again, and wasn't likely to collapse in the middle of the Hall, but now he's not so sure that being anywhere close to the Ravenclaw table is a good idea. It's bad enough it neighbours to Slytherin's already.
Rin groans for the upteenth time that hour, bangs his head against the table and keeps it there. The wood is at least cooler than his hand. Small favors, really.]
Bonus: Infirmary
[He ends up being dragged into the infirmary by the pains he calls his friends and teammates, when he almost collapses from fever that morning. This is also where he spends the complete week, because Madame Pomfrey is relentless. The first few days are spent between half-awake and restless sleep, the rest he's lying in the bed, snotty, grumbling, week and frustrated, waiting for his body temperature to get back to normal. He'll bark and complain a lot during this time, basically, if you brave a visit, expect behavior of a giant baby.]
((ooc: He's referring to this incident from last night, which is NSFW (but so, so hilarious), so read at your own caution, I am jst putting it here to make sense.))
((EDITED! Because Sousuke, Adela and Kise are major pains and Rin almost fainted from fever.))

no subject
[ As mushy as the thought is, he can't deny that Rin is beautiful when he slept. Even if it was obvious he was sick, he looked so peaceful. This he never saw in Australia, and probably wouldn't have appreciated as much.
There's not much room on the bed, but Gareki places his book on the bedside stand and shifts to lay on his side. It's precarious, a little push easily able to shove him off with the right amount of force, but he's taken on a whim because even if he's mad at Rin he cares. He wasn't forced into a relationship with him, he chose to be there because he liked the redhead.
Were this years ago, he probably wouldn't care so much. But Hogwarts tempered him, made him realize there were people he could let in. Rin was one of them now. ]
Get better soon... I can't be mad at a sick person, even if you're a dumbass.
no subject
He lets out a small sound that's something between a whine and a moan, and starts breathing evenly, his body finally relaxing.]
no subject
If Pomfrey found them he knew that he would get scolded... Gareki didn't actually care at the moment. Rin seemed more calm and that was worth it. The dumbass that got himself sick just to get into his pants.
The guy he was falling for. ]
You better not do this again or I really will dump you.
[ He wouldn't. He'd just be annoyed and tell Rin that he was a moron. ]
no subject
It's not until later that night that he wakes up, something disturbing him in hi sleep. The warmth is still there, but this time accompanied by a scent, one that he recognizes.]
Gareki...
[Slowly, he lifts his head and sees the beautiful boy right there next to him on the bed, sleeping peacefully, face glowing in the pale moonlight with an ethereal light. There's something wrong with this, something's like it's not supposed to be, but Rin can't figure out what and Gareki is beautiful, so he lets it be. He only raises his hand to touch the beautiful boy, touch something so wonderful, like it's beyond any existence and it's but a miracle that Rin gets to witness it.]
no subject
Dark blue eyes opened slowly, sleep still clouding them as he looked at Rin. He looked better, but only just. ]
If Pomfrey finds you awake, she'll probably jam a thermometer down your throat. Go back to sleep.
no subject
[It's a better place than the mouth, Rin thinks. It also feels more appropriate. He doesn't know why.]
You're warm.
[He says as it comes to his mind and as his head grows heavy again, he beds it on top of Gareki's shoulder.]
Soft. Nice.
no subject
[ He corrects with something of a smirk. ]
Your ass is mine.
[ His fingers came up to card through Rin's hair, soft and careful. It was odd to be this snuggled with someone and not feel a need to pull them away. Even though Rin was like a furnace due to his fever, Gareki had never felt so comfortable before.
Well. As comfortable as a person precariously perched on an infirmary bed could be. ]
Do you feel any better?
no subject
[Rin mumbles. Also, if he keeps his throat unoccupied, it can be used differently, on Gareki and Ma'am can still measure his fever meanwhile. Gareki always makes him feel good. Like now. He's better since he's with Gareki.]
Better with you.
[There's still something weird about this though.]
no subject
A sap as well as a moron? I'll remember that.
[ Gareki's hand pulled from Rin's hair to rest on his side instead, a gentle curve to his lips. A smile of sorts. ]
You should rest more.
no subject
[He's not. Romantically inclined, yes, but not sappy. Romantic things are a wide range, sap is only sap. He has more class than that.]
Hmm~
[He humms in agreement and settles back against Gareki, closing his eyes. He feels weak and his head is spinning so sleep sounds like a blessing.]
Stay.
[He says pleadingly, because he feels good like this, safe and warm, but he knows next time he'll wake up Gareki won't be there. Dreams never stay. Even if he wants them to. But maybe if he asks, maybe if he pleads, then at least a trace of warmth will remain.]
no subject
[ Gareki huffs in amusement, resting his cheek against the top of Rin's head. Even if it was sap, of course he would bitch, but secretly he wouldn't mind it. It would just be another part of their relationship. ]
I'll stay as long as I can, just rest and get better.
