"China~ you don't look so good~". he frowns.

"Not really," he muffled out before coughing, cheeks brightly flushed.

frowns even more. "no! you look like you're dying!!"

laughed weakly. "Dying? I thought I was immortal aru... no, it's just a flu. I get these every decade or so aru... no need to worry!"

with that, his head sank beneath the covers, trying to not cough near NItaly.

watches China with a very worried look. "Is there anything i can do for you?~"

sank even lower. How was he going to repay NItaly? "It's fine," he coughed. He scratched his head, hairs untied and everywhere.

China looks better with his hair out~. he leans in, reaching to touch his cheek. "Ve~ China you feel so hot though~"

thought that if he let his hair out, he would look even more feminine than before. "Wait, can you get my thermometer aru?"

the last time he checked his temperature was so long ago...

nods "Sure~". he looks to see the thermometer and brings it to China's lips. "Here you go~"

china with his hair down makes him good pretty~

thought that /maybe/ he could put it down more often... but it has been tied there for so long he didn't know if he could.

puts it in his mouth and waited. After a minute or two, he pulled it out. The bar reached 102.7F. His eyes widened.

freaked out at the number. "Oh NO! that's a really high number. i don't know what to do!" he frowns

"Wow, higher than I thought aru..." he absentmindedly mumbled before turning over so his face is in the pillow.

"Ve~ China! did you take any medicine?"

turned over again. "I dunno..." now his words were slurring.

looks around frantically to find untouched medicine. "China here take this~!". it was pills so it's easy to take. he pops to out, and -

grabs some water.

sleepily grabs for a pill. He took the cup from NItaly and drank it. "Thanks aru," he said, clutching the blankets for warmth. Terribly cold

the state China was in.

tilts his head. "Ve~ Cold?"

nodded... or close to something of a nod.

goes under the sheets. "then i'll help warm you up~". he hugs China under the sheets.

slightly frowned at the lack of personal space, but remembered that his cough could infect him. "No aru, I'll cough and you'll get it too!"

"It's alright~ you have to get better fast~". isn't going to let go~ snuggles against China.

sighed and relaxed. "Alright aru, but if you get sick, don't blame me," he coughed again, readjusting the towel on his forehead.

happy that China didn't push him away. he looks up slightly. "But don't you feel warmer already?~"

paused. "...Yes aru," his lips twitched upwards, making a small smile. "... Thanks, I don't know when was the last time someone hugged me."

rests his head gently on China's chest. "Really? no one has hugged you in a while? then don't worry~ i'll hug you enough to make up for -

all that time~" he softly tightens his hold.

's head was getting more fuzzier. He blinked, trying to clear it. "Okay aru..." he closed his eyes, cheeks a pink color.

closes his eyes smiling. taking this time to take a nap himself.
