My laptops kinda broken and I don't write anything on my phone... so it may be a long time when you hear from me next. I also go back to school on the 6th (perks of living in England), so updates will literally be non existent. I'm sorry.

Requested by shadow_dancer66 who asked for naegi x togami where Naegi has a high fever and during a meal or an investigation he passes out and togami takes care of him.

Sounds interesting! Once again, definitely not disappointed with these requests!

I call Chihiro a girl as during the time that this takes place (in chapter 1) of the game, so if that for some reason puts you off, please don't read. It's incredibly minor though, and you hardly notice it, but y'know, just in case.

Despite the off-putting sights of Sayaka's body, Byakuya himself wasn't at all phased by the blood or the dead body lying in Makoto's room. Understandably, some of the weaker students of their class would've been, and he wasn't at all shocked to see Chihiro leave with Hina. It was obvious from first glance to Byakuya that both girls would have weak stomachs, and once these killing games were announced, he knew both would be useless. He couldn't help but think they'd end up victims like Sayaka, but that wasn't his main priority at the moment.

No, Byakuya's main priority was the luckster, who had managed to pass out on the crime scene.

At first, Byakuya didn't spare Makoto a second glance. He just wrongly assumed that Makoto wouldn't be able to put up with a dead body like some of the rest, however that clearly wasn't the case.

Seemingly with no other choice, he left the scene in the more-than-capable hands of Kyouko, and despite him not fully trusting the girl, he somehow had a feeling she'd be more in control than some of the guys. With little effort, he lifted Makoto into his arms, muttering something about his idiocy, as he rudely left the rest of his classmates to themselves, retreating back to his own room. He struggled with his door, somehow managing to balance Makoto as he opened the door, but he managed, and he laid the smaller boy on the bed as he sighed. Rolling his eyes, the heir settling down in a chair beside his classmate, picking up a book from his bedside table and beginning to read.

After a while, the smaller boy groggily rose, wiping his eyes before coughing. Byakuya wrinkled his nose slightly in disgust, offering Makoto, who gratefully took one, muttering a thanks in appreciation.

"How long was you planning to deceive us?" Byakuya asked. "Address me as paranoid, see if I'm bothered, however if you're willing to deceive us as to not having an illness, how can we be certain that you won't deceive us of things like murder?"

"I-It's not like that!" Makoto protested. "I... I didn't want anyone to think I was doing it because of her death."

Byakuya flinched harshly. None of their classmates had heard from Makoto before the announcement, so it was understandable that everyone would blame him. Of course, adding his illness on top of that, most would assume he'd be lying for a sympathy pass, or something, so the heir couldn't entirely blame his for his deception.

Not that he was good at it, or anything.

Byakuya placed a cold towell on Makoto's forehead, forcing the boy to lay back down as he did so. Makoto hardly protested physically, but he clearly had a lot to say about the situation.

"You're ill. You need rest. I can disclose you're situation to the others-"

"Don't leave me?" Makoto asked, practically begging the heir.

Byakuya took a step back, shocked. His eyes widened slightly. He'd been so cold and distance, and yet he still wanted Byakuya for company? Byakuya took a deep breath before sighing, rolling his eyes.

He had to keep up appearances, after all.

"Move over then." He demanded, and Makoto's eyes widened.

"R-Really?" Makoto asked, sliding over on the bed. Byakuya sat down on the bed next to him, stiffly running his fingers through the luckster's hair.

"Well, all I'd have to return to is a dead body and some more deceptive fools. At least being here, I only have to put up with one."

Makoto nodded, closing his eyes, not even listening to Byakuya's 'explanation'.

"Thanks, Togami." He mumbled, resting his head on Byakuya's lap as he drifted off into sleep. Byakuya didn't reply, but his presence remaining there when the trial announcement drilled through the speakers said enough for Makoto.
