"We're here, Takashi!" Honey shouted, causing Mori to groan from a headache. "Sorry..."

Mori simply nods and slides out of the limo seat. He looks more tired than he did earlier, Honey thought as he got out the car door. He held his cousin's hand in case another dizzy spell occurs as he leads Mori though the front door of the Morinozuka mansion.

"Do you want something to eat, Takashi?" Honey asked. Mori grunts in response and heads to the kitchen.

"No Takashi, you go to bed," Honey said shaking his finger.

"Mitsukuni-"

"Takashi, you were always there to take care of me, but today I'll be the one who gets to play doctor and look after you."

Mori sighed in defeat and walked to his room. Honey opened his bag to retrieve a lab coat he borrowed from Kyouya and a recipe for porridge from Tamaki.

After dressing himself as a doctor, he got to work preparing Mori's porridge in a sauce pan. He poured in the milk, butter, oats, vanilla, two cups of sugar, chocolate chips, strawberries, some banana pudding and half a bottle of honey. He stirred the ingredients together and brought a spoonful to his baby pink lips.

"Tastes a little plain, but for Mori it's okay!" He carried the overflowing bowl over to Mori's bedroom, knocking on the door before he entered.

"Takashi! Doctor Honey in here, along with Nurse Usa-chan!" Mori gave a weak smile as he sat himself up. Honey placed the bowl on Mori's lap and sat in the chair next to the bed. Mori took the spoon in his hand and put it in his mouth, swallowing the warm contents. He suddenly brought his hand over his mouth.

"What's wrong, Takashi?"

Mori couldn't hold it in any longer. He thrusted the bowl into Honey's hands and scrambled out the room. Honey sat there alone, wincing at the sound of Mori retching. He felt his lip quiver. Poor Takashi...

Honey got down from the chair and trudged his feet to where Mori was. His body was hunched over the toilet, coughing into the porcelain bowl. When he flushed away the contents of his stomach, he turned to face the sad little blonde boy.

"I put too much sugar in it, didn't I?" Honey asked, looking at the floor. Mori was quiet for a moment before he nodded. Honey peered through his bangs for a second. In front of him sat his cousin, his best friend, exhausted, panting, and drenched in sweat. His cheeks had a feverish blush to them and his eyes were practically closing shut. Here he was suppose to take care of his younger cousin and instead he was making him sicker.

Mori looked up and nearly fell over at the sight of Honey crying his eyes out.

"M-Mitsukuni?"

"I'm sorry Takashi," Honey cried out, "I didn't mean to make you more sick! I'm sorry, I'm-"

"Mitsukuni!" Honey stopped. Mori took the boy and hugged him. His arms were dripping with sweat and Honey could feel the heat coming from the muscular limbs through his shirt. "Thank you."

"F-for what?" He sniffed. "I didn't even realize you were sick until you almost fainted and now you're throwing up because of me."

"But at least I'm not going through it alone." Honey looked up at Mori, a small smile on the tall host's face. Despite feeling so icky, Mori was happy to have Honey by his side. Mori was always there for him whenever he was hurt or sad, and he knew Honey would do the same for him. And for Mori, that was all he needed. Honey realized that not long before Mori softly pushed him away and started coughing.

"Takashi, you're getting worse."

"What do you prescribe, Doctor Honey?" He asked with a smirk.

Honeys face lit up. "Let's get you to bed." He helped Mori off the bathroom floor and walked slowly back where Mori collapsed onto the bed.

"Doctor Honey recommends you stay in bed for the rest of the day while I get you some miso soup."

"Uh..."

"From one of the chefs, silly." He said grinning.

Honey spent the entire day looking after Mori. He would pour him countless cups of tea and rub his head softly when a headache popped up. As simple as this was, it helped Mori greatly.

"101. Your fever's gone down, Takashi!" Honey exclaimed. Mori simply nodded, his eyes close to drooping shut. "Looks like it's naptime for you. How about I read you a story?" He shrugged and pointed to the bookcase across from him. Honey hopped over there and searched through the titles. Most of the books were thick with words he couldn't pronounce.

"Uhhh...Oh! I have a book with me!" He ran back to his bag and pulled out a picture book with a pink bunny on the cover. "Is "Shugā and The Cinnamon Caper" ok?"

Mori chuckled lightly. "Yeah, go ahead."

As Honey read, Mori shifted into a more comfortable position. He found the sound of his cousin's voice soothing, taking away the pain coming from his head.

"...and all the people in Caramel City cheered as Shugā flew in her bubblegum rocket with all of the cinnamon the caper had stolen, finally able to bake her famous apple strudel cake for everyone to eat. The end." Honey looked up from his book to check on Mori. He was fast asleep, lightly snoring with his chest puffing in and out in a slow rhythm. He went over to the sleeping form and ran his hand over his forehead. "Sleep well, Takashi."

•••

Mori woke up in the middle of the night. He wasn't sure how long he had been out, but considering the fact the room was lit by the moonlight, it had been a while. He turned to see Honey curled up in the chair, using his arm as a pillow. He stayed here this whole time? He shifted himself on his back when he felt something under his arm. His hand felt a soft lump and picked it up.

It was Usa-chan. Honey had lent him the plush bunny while he was asleep. Mori smiled. The stuffed rabbit was Honey's prized possession and for him to let Mori sleep with it showed just how much Honey cared for him.

Honey stirred a bit in the chair, shifting himself into a more comfortable position. Mori carefully wrapped his arms around Honey and placed him onto the bed. Tucking in the little blonde, he gently placed his hand on top of Honey's head and stroked his hair.

"Thank you, Mitsukuni."
