You really tried sitting up straight, if not only to not make the teacher mad at you, but your head felt so heavy you just couldn't. It fell to the side, dragging the rest of your body alongside it until you met resistance.

Lloyd turn his head to you, giving you a worried look. "You okay?" He whispered, extra quiet as to avoid catching anybody else's attention, it would be pretty awkward after all. And the two of you would get extra bullied/teased. You mumbled something incoherent, head hurting too much to produce any actual words. Not when you had a perfectly nice pillow to rest on.

After a moment you felt a hand on your forehead, you sighed, slightly peeved. "You're burning up" Like you didn't know that; if you weren't so tired you'd roll your eyes. You were feeling bad all day, but since you were already here you might as well stay.

Now caring a whole lot less about any possible rumours and future comments, Lloyd pushed his chair closer to yours, wrapping an arm around your body from the side, securing you from any maybe upcoming fall. You had no mind to complain, in fact, a small smile spread on your face as you registered the mindful gesture.

You stayed like this for the rest of the class, so maybe a few couple of minutes. Then the bell rang and soon after that you felt the blondie gently nudge you. You groaned quietly, unhappy at being interrupted the rest (although it wasn't so comfortable in that exact position). "Hey, get up, I'm taking you home"

Home?

You furrowed your brows, groggily pulling away. "But it's the middle of the day..."

He gave you a stern look. "You're sick" You scoffed. Lloyd was unamused, he simply stood up and gently prompted you to do the same by pulling on your hand. "Up, up" You let out a dramatic whine, but didn't fight, opting for focusing on the comfort on his warm hand in your slightly cooler one as he led you out the classroom.

You felt eyes on your person. But your head hurt too much for you to care about it.

You slowly made your way outside. "You're gonna miss your next class" You weakly pointed out.

"I'm going to be late for my next class" He corrected. You furrowed your brows, making a face in confusion at the statement.

But soon everything made more sense as you saw Kai standing next to his car. He spared you a sympathetic look before handing the keys over to Lloyd. "Next time you're sick, please just stay at home? It would save us all a lot of stress" The hedgehog pleaded.

You pouted, "But my perfect attendance..." Both the boys gave you a look. You grinned goofily. "I'm a champ, a little sickness is not going to stop me from being productive"

"Yeeeah, your brain is frying itself" Kai commented, making you roll your eyes.

Lloyd sighed and pulled on your hand again, prompting you to get in the car while he turned to the brunet, "Thanks again"

"Don't"

"Yeah, yeah"

"Bye, Kai!" You chirped, waving at the boy.

"See ya two later!" He waved back, turning around and walking back to the building. Lloyd got in the driver's seat and started the car.

*****

You woke up in your bedroom a few hours later (as you calculated after checking your phone). Okay, so maybe a little sickness could postpone your productivity...

But look at the bright side, your head wasn't hurting you anymore. And you got to skip [class you hate], score!

Looking through your phone, you quickly noted the amount of messages you got from your and Lloyd's shared friends. Kai really wasn't exaggerating when he said you getting sick at school made them all stressed.

Amongst all the concerned 'get better soon' texts one stuck out.

Silly cookie 🍪, 3 hours ago
[I'll come over after sql :)]

You looked at the time yet again.

Oh shit! It's NOW!!

Wait...

You're sick. You don't have to prepare or anything. And since you had no memory of getting to bed yourself, he must've already seen the mess.

...

Oh well, time for some tea.

You pushed the covers off and dragged yourself out of bed, changing into something comfier before heading to the kitchen to heat some water, already pulling out two cups. Efficiency!!

You didn't have to wait long for the doorbell. "Come in!!" You and Lloyd exchanged smiles as soon as you saw one another.

He pulled up a chair and sat right next to you. "How are you feeling?"

"Better" He hummed, seemingly satisfied, but soon placed a hand on your forehead. You deadpan at him, "Lloyd."

"Just making sure" He pulled away, reaching for your hand instead. "Stay home tomorrow" You grumbled under your breath. His expression turned serious, "I'm serious. You fell asleep in the car"

"I know"

He gave your hand a gentle squeeze, you squeezed back. He then looked at the two cups, turning to smile at you again, "Always prepared, huh?"

"Now that's a lie" He chuckled, raising his other hand to ruffle your hair (as if it wasn't enough of a mess already).

"Why is it always tea?"

"You tell me!"
