Summary: Yuh is sick, will Tomo be able to make him feel better?
"Is he sick?" Tomo asks Umi who was smoking beside Yuh while they laze around the waiting area on the location of their PV shoot.
"I think. He's been grabbing naps here and there every moment he can."
"I see." Tomo worriedly looks at Yuh. He's never seen him this tired before. He is always energetic and on the go, and of all the time to be in that condition, it had to be today, where their stamina are put to the test while they shoot their latest music video.
"Yuh, hey..." Tomo nudges their guitarist's shoulder a little, making him grunt. "Yuh, have you eaten?"
Yuh hazily looks up to Tomo, as if blinded by the lights of the room,"...No. I dont have any appetite."
"You have to eat so you can take some medicine." Yuh shakes his head and bows his head again on his knees and tries going back to his nap.
"You can try Tomo. I've been telling him to eat at least something, he just wont." Umi adds, seeing that Yuh will just reject Tomo's invitation to eat.
"Hey, Umi! It's Tohya's turn, let's eat." Rui calls out after he came from where they were shooting, he places his bass guitar in its case, Umi stands up and walks before him.
"Well, We'll see you guys later, and Tomo, if you can try harder and make him eat, do so. We're worried too." Umi takes Rui's hand and they walk out of the room to head to the small cafeteria that has been set up outside.
Tomo sits beside Yuh, he places the back of his hand on the older man's neck to check his temperature.
"Yuh, you're hot."
"I know, I feel weird, hot and cold. But, I just need to rest and this will go away."
For the years that Tomo has known Yuh, he's always been independent and a bit shy to rely on others and ask for their help, might be because he was older than the rest of them, Tomo knows that their timid guitarist can also be very stubborn at times when people offer their help, but today Tomo wont take any rejection.
"You must eat, we still got a long day ahead."
"I just.. hey.." Yuh stops midsentence and looks up as tomo leaves the room, without his jacket, it seems that their vocalist has placed his outerwear over him to give him warmth.
-----
"So? How did it go?" Rui asks the moment he saw Tomo arriving.
"Stubborn as always." He answers, then goes over to where the line of food were placed, looking for anything that he can serve for his patient.
"Well, if you do get him to eat, make sure he takes some medicines too." Umi adds.
"I dont have any, I dont think Yuh does too. Do you have any on you?" Tomo asks after he got a serving of rice porridge, as he stops halfway before walking back inside the room.
"Yeah... i'm pretty sure i have some, check on the front pockets of my bag, you know what my bag looks like, right?"
"Yup. Thanks Umi." Tomo leaves and hurriedly walks back to the waiting area to not get the porridge cold.
-----
Tomo looks over at Yuh the moment he entered the room, their guitarist looks so peaceful snugging Tomo's jacket as he takes another nap, the younger man felt a little happy seeing that somehow, Yuh looks better that it almost makes him feel bad that he has to wake him up again just so he can convince him to eat. He walks silently in front of Yuh, sitting across him and lightly nudges Yuh's arm.
"Yuh.. wake up."
"I'm awake... half awake, i guess."
"Open your mouth, I'll feed you."
"But I..."
"It's just porridge, ok?" Tomo smiles, scoops up a spoonful of hot porridge, Yuh, at first, was hesitant to open his mouth but he knows Tomo wont take 'NO' for an answer this time, eventually he took it in.
"Is it too hot?" Tomo asks when Yuh flinched before he could swallow the food.
"Yes, a little."
"I'm sorry." Tomo takes another spoonful, making sure to blow on it gently as to make it less warmer and not burn Yuh's tongue again.
"Tomo.. this is a little.. uhmn... I'll eat by myself." Yuh tells him shyly, trying to take the spoon off Tomo's hand but the vocalist pulls the spoon away before he could even try and take it.
"No, if i leave you, you wont finish this bowl for sure."
"B-but.. ok..." Yuh takes the spoonful of porridge Tomo places on his mouth.
"Better? Did I burn you again?" Tomo asks worriedly, he felt relieved when Yuh shook his head and smiled.
"Oh, they're so cute." Rui whispers to Umi when they caught Tomo feeding Yuh, who, like a small child, takes every serving little by little until it was done.
"That's it. See? I bet you're feeling better already, now wait here and dont fall asleep again, i'll get you something to drink for your medicine." Tomo stands up and gives Yuh a small pat on the head and takes the empty bowl with him, when he turned around he was surprised to see the couple grinning at him.
"Wow, I must say, you did TRY your best." Umi smiles sheepishly, then applauds him silently, even nodding his head to show how convinced he was with what Tomo did.
"Just... shut up." Tomo blushes and walks out of the room again.
"It's time Tomo admits his feelings to Yuh." Rui comments as he waits for Umi who was getting the medicine from his bag that their vocalist obviously hasnt taken out of his bag yet.
"Uh-huh. As if you didnt take alot of time before admitting you like me too." Umi snickers, Rui hits his arm playfully, "It was YOU who took your sweet time before noticing my feelings!"
"Hey, batting your eyelashes everytime i look at you doesnt necessarily mean you like me. It looked weird."
"I looked weird?!"
"Nah, just kidding, you're beautiful, of course."
"You two make ME sick." Tomo remarks when he catches their leader and bassist talking.
"Fine. Don't be jealous, here's for your patient, doctor." Umi hands Tomo the medicines, he then takes Rui's hand, leaving the two alone in the room.
"Here you go." Tomo gives two tablets to Yuh, who takes it immediately, followed by the glass of water their vocalist brought him.
"Thanks Tomo, I'm feeling better now."
"Anytime."
And then silence, with Tomo fidgeting while standing in front of Yuh. The older man pouts, twitching his lips, waiting for Tomo to say anything. Somehow the air felt heavy all of a sudden, it's being a little too embarrassing that Yuh decided to break the silence.
"Do you have something to confess to me?"
"W-WHAT?!" Tomo blushes that he immediately averts his face away from Yuh to save himself from the embarrassment he feels.
"Blame the pair for talking indiscreetly." Yuh rests his chin on his knees, looking up to Tomo, waiting again, for any answers the younger man has for him.
Tomo sits in front of Yuh, the latter's eyes following hims as he does so, the vocalist scratches his head, he's never felt this awkward towards Yuh, it felt so weird, having known Yuh for a long time now, but even so, somehow, it felt so right.
"I... I like you, Yuh."
"Good."
"WHAT?!" Tomo was dumbfounded with Yuh's reaction. He wasnt sure if it meant something positive or negative for the both of them, his face twitched so much he looked like he was in pain, all his senses rushed back when he heard Yuh laughed so hard.
"You're confusing me Yuh."
"It's good that you like me or it would be so weird and I'd look like an assuming idiot waiting for your confession."
"Waiting? You knew?"
"It's a little obvious. I'm not really insensitive as you presume me to be. But, thanks to the conversation between Umi and Rui that I finally had the chance to make you tell it to me." Yuh stands up, taking off Tomo's jacket and placing it over to the still-surprised vocalist's shoulders.
"W-well, at least let me know how you feel about me." Tomo tells him, standing up, following Yuh who was obviously on his way now to where their bandmates are.
Yuh pouts and gives Tomo a sly smirk, looking playful, making the vocalist blush a little.
"What? Yuh... Give me an answer..."
Yuh laughs, "When you get sick then i'd give you an answer. I promise."
"You're unfair!"
"You made me wait, I'll make you too."
"I'm not buying that.... Achoo!"
"Stop acting Tomo. Come on, they must be waiting."
"I'm not acting..." Tomo kept sneezing, followed by a continuous coughing that Yuh walks back to Tomo, giving him his handkerchief.
"You're persistent Tomo." Yuh adds, but Tomo ignores him, he just kept sneezing and coughing so hard, worrying Yuh who imeddiately rummages through Umi's bag for any antibiotics for the common cold.
"Take this." Yuh hands Tomo some medicines but the shorter man turns away.
"I dont want to. This will pass."
"If you're really sick, then fine. I like you too. Now take these."
"Meh. No need." Tomo gives Yuh a swift kiss on the lips, surprising him, "Yuh, playing hard to get dont suit you. Now, come on."
Tomo smiles when he saw that this time it's Yuh who's blushing, he then takes Yuh's hand, locking it tightly with his own and they step outside to join the rest of their band.

Author's Notes: This is another vistlip pair experiment and i dedicate this to
maunetjeret because you love Umi x Rui and you said you want Tomo and Yuh too, so i hope you'll like this. The story was inspired during the making of Theater of Envy because Yuh was said to be sick during the time that the PV was being filmed, it was a little obvious because he was taking lots of sleeps.
Comments are love.
and I also dyed my hair black now.
