reassures | SIRENSPULL

[It's just a little spilled tea, she can clean it up later if no one else does. But Nill offers him a soft smile, and doesn't let go of hi hand as she leads him back to her room. She gestures for him to lay down in her weird little nest of pillows, letting go of his hand so she can find a lighter blanket in her closet. Something to make him comfortable but not actually trap that much body heat.]

[Okay, so he feels a little silly to be doing it, but he drops into the pillow nest with a fair amount of relief, in all honesty. He's been burning the candle at both ends, sure, but he didn't realize just how exhausted he was from it until the moment something soft was there to lie on. He barely even pauses to set the tea aside before he bellyflops into the 'bed.']

[Yosuke groans, silently, and drapes himself over one pillow, curling another a little closer, and propping his chin on a third with a quiet sigh of relief.]

[That's so much better. His eyes feel heavy and scratchy already.]

[Nill waits until Yosuke has found a position that he seems comfortable in before kneeling down and laying the blanket over him. Then she grabs the frozen pees and puts them against the top of his head on the pillow, lightly touching his arm after she does so. She knows it's cold, but it's really for the best if he wants to feel better.

Then she leans back, pulling one of the unused pillows free to hug it to her chest. And she smiles at him again.

If it's very difficult for him to sleep, then she can try to give him a 'dream'. She might even do that once he's fallen asleep.]

[He feels completely ridiculous with a bag of iced produce on his head, but since she's trying her best, he'll let it go. Anyway, it's not like he can object very well at the moment.]

[He sighs a little and lets his eyes drift closed, but he finds her elbow and grips it loosely. You'll stay, right?]

[Hush, you, this is the best way she knows to handle a fever. Staying warm won't help any, he has to cool down, and well... she doesn't know of anything else to use at the moment.

Nill pauses, before gently prying his hand from her elbow so that she can hold his in hers instead. She pats the back of it gently with her other hand, and smiles, though he can't see it.]

Always

[It's just a soft reassurance; more than enough for Yosuke to easily believe that it's his imagination, considering the strange way that Nill communicates. but it's still the first and only time she's ever 'talked' to him.]

[His eyes open for a moment, and his brow furrows just slightly. He could have sworn he heard...no. No, it's just the fever. Duh, Hanamura, get it together.]

[He blinks, tiredly, and lets his eyes fall closed again. They feel so heavy right now, keeping them open would be a real chore anyway.]

[So he just gives Nill'a hand a gentle squeeze and tries not to let himself drift off. He'd probably drool on her nice girly pillows or snore or something equally embarrassing, anyway.]

[For a moment, Nill is worried that she's given herself away - revealed something at a time that she shouldn't have, although she wants to. She wants to tell him, honestly, she's just not sure if that would be for the best. ~~Shika would know, wouldn't he?~~

Yosuke lets it go though, and that's good. It's very good. Nill just stays where she is, quiet and still as she holds his hand. Waiting for him to fall asleep even if he's trying to fight it. It's okay, Yosuke. She doesn't care about drooling or snoring. She's so used to dealing with teenage boys.]

[In spite of himself, he does start to drift off a bit. Before he can fall asleep, though, he does that jump and startle thing that always happens when it's been too long since he's slept, and wakes himself back up. For a moment his heart races and he hears the distant sound of drumbeats in his head, the way he always does when that happens. It takes a moment for the feeling of imminent doom to recede, and a minute longer for him to remember where the hell he even is. It's only then that he shoots Nill a slightly mortified, slightly apologetic look.]

[Damn. That was really uncool. Did she notice? Maybe she didn't notice. He might have dreamed the part about jerking awake suddenly. That could happen, couldn't it?]

[Nill, in true sympathetic fashion, is totally pretending to be looking at her various plants. She notices Yosuke looking at her out of the corner of her eye and glances over, as if to ask if something is wrong.

She saves you so much face dude.]

[He opens his mouth to make some joke, some distraction. Only nothing comes out when he tries to speak. For a moment, a wave of disorientation hits him hard, and he starts to panic again. Then he remembers. Oh, yeah, his throat. It hurts because...yeah. Right.]

[Yosuke gives Nill a sheepish smile, and shrugs. He sits up, thinking maybe he will go wash the sweat off his face and pretend he just needs to pee, or something. But he puts his hand in something weird and startles again.]

[Right...just the frozen vegetables...jeez. Yosuke shakes his head at himself, and slowly gets back out of the bed. It isn't easy to convince his body to get back up again, after he got to lie down for a minute.]

[Nill reaches over and gently puts her hand on his shoulder; pushing on it lightly. Lie back down, Yosuke. And calm down a little, okay? Rest is the best thing you can do when you're sick.

He really is... so jumpy, though. Was he like that before? ...what happened?]

[Nill's touch at least doesn't cause him to jump. In fact, he seems soothed by it again, if a little embarrassed at just how easily he folds under it at the moment. He's twice her size, practically. He just feels sick and weak and generally relieved to be shoved in the direction of a bed again. Already, the subconscious fears of a moment ago are dimmed.]

[Yosuke yawns, and flops back down to the pillows with a sleepy blink up at Nill. You're still not leaving, right?]

[She's relieved at how easy it is to convince him to lay down again - she was worried he might put up an argument about it, which would be difficult to manage when neither of them could talk (harder to manage than when Yosuke can talk, at least). She pulls the sheet up over him again, and then takes his hand again, before she smiles at him. Nope. Still not leaving.]

[He's content with that, he decides, and lets his eyes drift closed again.]

[This time, the sleep comes a little easier.]
