The trio arrived at Red's house. Pika led them to his room. He was asleep. Yellow climbed up and touched his head before shaking his arm. He woke up and looked at her. A weak smile appeared on his face.

"H-hey..... s-s-sorry I didn't sho-" She shushed him.

"You look deader than Team Rocket right now. Sh..."

She touched his head and a soft glow covered it. He hummed quietly, which made her smile a bit. Blue and Green had gone to talk to the pokemon. The glow faded and he smiled at her.

"Thanks Yellow..." His voice was faint. She smiled.

"You're welcome. I'm sorry for not being there. I know you probably visited me when I was gone..." It was his turn to shush her.

"We're Dexters. We are some of the busiest people out there." He sat up and hugged her. She paused and hugged back. "Yellow?"

"Hm?"

"I've been meaning to tell you something..."

"What?" He pulled out of the hug and looked at her.

"I-i... love you." She blinked at the faintness of his voice.

"Excuse me?" She whispered quietly. He gulped and repeated himself.

"I love you, Yellow."

Her eyes widened as her face heated up. The densest person of the Dexters just admitted that he had feelings for her. Her crush just admitted feelings for her! She took a deep breath before speaking.

"I... love you too, Red."

A smile crossed his face. He leaned forward and kissed her lightly on the forehead. She giggled softly before leaning against him and fell asleep. He smiled softly before falling asleep as well. The other two went up and saw them. Green smiled before grabbing Blue's arm.

"Let's leave them alone." She nodded as they went downstairs.

A few weeks later, Yellow was in her bed. Her face was red from the illness that had hit her. There was a light knock on the door.

"Don't come in if you don't want to get sick!" She called out weakly. The door opened to Red. He was carrying a small bag. He went over and sat down next to her on the bed.

"I heard you weren't feeling well... so I brought you some tissues, soup, and medicine to help..." She smiled softly at him.

"Thanks Red... that was very sweet of you." He smiled and put the box of tissues next to me.

"I'll go make some soup..."

He then went out. Yellow coughed heavily. This was going to be terrible. She was able to catch some air. This was going to be difficult. Red came back with a bowl of soup. He got the spoon and put it in her mouth. It tasted delicious and it soothed her throat. She smiled faintly at him before coughing heavily again. He put the soup down and hugged her, patting her back. She finally stopped coughing. He pulled out of the hug and looked at her. She smiled rather weakly at him. He leaned forward and kissed her. She paused before kissing back. It held for a moment before they separated. He grabbed the soup and gave her another spoonful. She then smiled faintly.

"T-th-ank you..."

He paused before he helped her lay down. She quickly fell asleep. He smiled and went to the kitchen. He covered the soup in tin foil so that it would stay warm and put some juice in a cup. He placed the two things on her nightstand and put a small dose of the medicine beside the food. He placed a note beside the tissues and leaned near her ear.

"Sleep well, my darling."
