Aonung pov:

I woke up to the sound of my annoying alarm ringing. I had forgotten to set it off for the weekend thinking I had school today. As I tried to lift my body up, I was hit by a painful sensation. My head was ringing, everything hurt, I felt weak and I was starting to panic. No no this can't be happening I thought to myself. I hated being sick. It was the one feeling I hated the most. I was the one in the family who never got sick and I was very proud of It. It was something  I thrived on and I 100 percent thought it was a flex.

After a few minutes of struggling I decided to lift myself up from bed and head to my bathroom. After getting in I immediately reached for my brush and toothpaste , struggling to get the paste on it because it was near finished. I looked at my reflection through the mirror, hating the way my face looked. They'll definitely know I'm sick I thought to myself. As much as I hated being/feeling sick I also hated the way I got treated. Nothing bad happens it's just my mom starts freaking out and over reacting. She literally lets me do nothing and would force me not to leave her sight.

When I was done brushing my teeth, I washed my face with warm water and some soap thing neteyam had force me to start using. I wasn't a big fan of skin care because have you seen my skin!? It's already perfect and clear! I don't need this chemicals damaging my work of an art face but for neteyam I'll let it slide. I walked back into my room, fixing my bed, a habit I had taken from neteyam. Fuck he really is changing me..in good way. I don't know why I even bothered fixing it because as soon as I was done I layed right back on it. My head was hurting really bad. My skin felt hot, and my stomach was turning. I tried to push all the warnings away, thinking maybe my body is just glitching and it'll go away in a few hours.

I wanted to stay in my room all day because i had no energy. I decided to head down stair and greet and my parents and sister before coming back to my room and sleeping the sickness away. That should work right? Just fall asleep, wake up and feel better! That should do the trick. I head down stairs, seeing tsireya in the kitchen making herself something to eat. "Good morning" I said to her. She gave me a confused look which I returned back. "What?" I asked as I pretend to also get something to eat. "Why do you look like that" tsireya asked, moving towards me to touch my forehead. "Stop" I said as I knocked her hand away. "Are you sick?" She asked, worried laced in her voice. "No, my room is so hot for some fucking reason, I've been telling dad to fix my AC" I replied as fast as I could probably giving away the lie. "Dude I know your sick" she said with a bored expression. "It's so obvious, wait here I'll get you medicine". I hated medicine..especially pills. When I was younger I had taken a pill I wasn't supposed to and it got stuck in my throat. Ever since then I had a phobia for swallowing pills.

"Reya it's fine I don't need it. Please don't tell mom and dad I just need more sleep, I'll be okay". I didn't wait for her respond as I quickly grab the fruit bowl she had made for herself and headed straight to my room. I could hear her screaming at me but I couldn't understand the words she was saying since I was already at my door. I entered my room panting and walked over to my desk, placing the fruit bowl I had stolen from my sister. In that moment I felt a little guilty knowing I wasn't going to eat it. I walked back to my bed, letting my body fall on it as I tried to surpass the migraine that kept forming. I tried to think of what might have caused me to be sick when suddenly my train of thoughts were cut by the sound of my phone ringing. I groaned in pain, not wanting to get up from the comfortable position I was. It took a few seconds and I was up from my bed, grabbing my phone while paying no attention to the caller ID and answering.

"What". my tone came out harsher than I had intended.

"Oh...."
Silence

"Nung what's wrong with your tone"
Fuck I quickly detached the phone from my ear, bringing it to my front to read the name of the caller. 'Forest boy🦖💕'.

"Hey baby, how are you" I said ignoring his question.

"I'm fine...are you okay? You didn't answer my question". I thought for a second on how I would respond back but I decided to be honest.

"No I'm not okay, I think I'm sick...well I am sick"

"It's the vape isn't it"

"Teyam..."

"Im just kidding. Did you take some medicine ?"

"No I don't like taking pills"

I heard my boyfriend sigh, probably rubbing his forehead because that's what he always did right after sighing.

"You know pills aren't the only medication in the world right? They're some remedies that you can make you feel better. Your mom should know some"

"Like liquid form?"

"Yes Nung liquid form"

I could tell my boyfriend's smiling through the phone and for that I was starting to miss him.

"Can we face time? I wanna see your face"

"Sorry bunny I can't right now"

"Why? What are you doing."
I could feel myself starting to sulk at his answer. I wanted to see him really bad. I would probably feel better having him next to me I thought.

"My mom needs me to help her with something, if I'm on my phone she'll start complaining so sorry baby I can't. But I'll make sure to stop bye later"

"We can't FaceTime for even a minute?"

"No because then you won't want to end the call and neither would I and then I'll get in trouble"

I go quite for a moment

"You don't want me getting in trouble right?"

"No I don't"

"Okay then. I'll stop by at your place later. Go tell your mom and ask if she can make something to help you feel better okay? I love you"

"Okay I will. I love you too"

Call ended.

I took Neteyam's advice and told my mom about being sick. She freaked out just as I imagined and immediately started preparing the remedy. She scolded me for not telling her and waiting this long to mentioned it but it had only been a few hours since I woke up. After drinking the remedies which by the way was bitter as fuck, I headed back to my room. I texted neteyam telling him I drank the remedy my mom made and he hadn't replied yet. He's probably still busy with his mom" I thought to myself as my eyes started to close, sleep taking me.

I woke up about an hour later, my head and body already feeling better. I was so happy I actually listened to teyam and forced myself to drink that bitter shit. Mother fucker actually works. I decided to head out downstairs to brag about how I'm feeling so much better and how my fever didn't survive lasting a day on me. As I start to head out I could hear voices coming from my sister's room. Teyam is here? That voice sounded a lot like my boyfriend so I decided to check. I was right, he was here.

"Hey your up!" Reya said, making Neteyam turn to face me. He immediately ran up to me giving me a hug which I returned back. "I came over to see you like I promised but you were asleep so I decided to kill time with reya" my boyfriend said.
" it's okay, can I have you to myself now?" I asked him. He nodded his head, telling me to lead the way when reya cursed at us. "You're just gonna ditched me for him? We aren't done with the bracelets" my sister said with an upset tone. I looked down to see a bunch of arts and crafts materials. She had asked me to help make bracelets for lo'ak but I said no because why the fuck would I help with a gift for that fucker.
"Let's take a break reya, i promise I'll come back in an hour to help you finish" neteyam said as he pushed us out the door.

We entered my room and I pulled him in for another hug. I loved hugging him, touching him..literally any form of physical touch with him I was fine with. I was never the touchy type until I got with him. I would have to hold myself back in the past, thinking I was doing too much with the touching but he reassured me that it was okay so now I touch him with any opportunity I get. I was always touch starved for him and I've just accepted that and so has he.

"You feel better now?" Neteyam asked, breaking the hug. I immediately frown, not liking how empty my body weight felt without him close to me. "Yeah that remedy did it's thing". He replied with "I told you so" and I chuckled at how cute he sounded .  "Let's take a nap" I suggested. I wasn't sleepy since I had just woken up only a few minutes ago but I was in the mood for cuddling. "But you just woke up" he whined. "You know I'm a deep sleeper. I told reya i would help her in an hour, what if I over sleep" he questioned. "Baby it's fine, I'll set an alarm and wake you up" I kissed him, afterwards pulling him towards my bed so we could lay down. "Promise?" He asked. "Yes I promise" I replied with a soft smile, finally the both of us getting comfortable on the bed as I pull him closer to me.

I woke up from the alarm I set for neteyam. Just like he said he's a deep sleeper and even with the alarm still going off he didn't budge. He was still fast asleep. I annoyingly reached for my phone, turning the alarm off. I looked at Neteyam's sleeping face...he looked so peaceful..I know I had promised to wake him up so he can go help reya but I didn't want to. Just seeing how peaceful he slept...how could one wake him up?. I decided to text reya, telling her Neteyam was asleep and I didn't want to wake him up. I turned off my phone, kissing teyam on his forehead before going back to sleep.
