[He had been hoping, wanting, but never quite daring to imagine this. His cheeks fan a brighter red and his eyes prick with tears. But that doesn't stop him from wrapping his arms around Oria firmly]

Mm. I love you too. I love you so much it hurts sometimes. [He exhales softly, still looking at Oria with wonder bright in his golden-brown eyes.]

...hey. Oria. [shyly] Can I kiss you?

[ So much that it hurts... He wonders briefly of how that must feel like, but he thinks he can understand after spilling his feelings out.

And there's something about being asked such a thing that makes him actually feel embarrassed. That vanilla scent is really messing him up. ]

... Yeah.

[ Sinclair blushes more because Oria is blushing, but he leans in carefully to press his lips to Oria's in a gentle chaste kiss. This is precious and he wants Oria to know that]

[ The kiss is chaste, but it's enough for Oria's heart to pound to the point his ears feel like they're drumming inside. He's had a lot of kisses, but none of them feel as good as this. ]

You're so cute. I wish I could see your face.

[ Aaaa. Already with calling him 'cute'. Sinclair blushes again and kisses Oria's cheek because he can and that fills him with a giddy feeling]

Y-You threw your glasses on your bed. I'd get them for you but that means getting up.

That's fine.

[ His grip on the hoodie sweater tightens a little. ]

I want you to stay here...

[ Sinclair curls a little around Oria in response]

Mm. Then I'll stay put.

[ He's so warm. Oria is glad for the warmth, and he's also happy. He finally told Sinclair how he feels about him, and there didn't seem to be any rejection despite the bad things he did. They even kissed.

However, he shudders a little. How is it possible to feel cold and hot at the same time all throughout the body? That's how he feels right now. ]

Cold...

...still?

[Sinclair frowns, and he hugs Oria a little more, pressing their foreheads together, this time to check Oria's temperature. If it's warm, that wasn't a good sign...]

Lets get the blankets then.

Mm...

[ Oria yanks the blanket under them to put it over them for warmth. However... ]

It's so cold... but so hot...

[ It wasn't long since Sinclair touched Oria's forehead, but he's warmer than he usually is. ]

...hey, you really did get sick from the rain. [Sinclair will try to get up if Oria lets him]

Let me go get some cooling packs for your forehead--

The rain can fight me.

[ And so can Sinclair, because Oria doesn't let him go. ]

[Oh. Well. Sinclair just stays put then. Can he cuddle this better?]

I don't think anyone can win a fight against the weather.

I will.

[ Oria says with a indignant tone all the while burying his face even more into the fabric of the sweater. ]

So just... stay here.

[ Sinclair nods, closing his eyes as he holds Oria close, and presses a kiss to the top of Oria's head. He's really allowed now and that fills him with wonder.]

Mm. I'll stay. 'm not going anywhere.

[ Oria closes his eyes, curling up a little in Sinclair's hold. The fatigue eventually eats away at his ability to stay awake, and so he falls asleep. It's quiet, and his sleeping expression looks peaceful.

And it remains that way until the next morning. ]

[ Sinclair wakes up first, feeling warm and groggy. Oria's still in his bed, in his arms and it's a reminder that last night wasn't a dream. Oria's sleeping expression is exceptionally peaceful and Sinclair doesn't want to wake him from it at all. So he's careful when he leans in to check Oria's temperature to see if it's gone up or down at any point in the night.

The room is filled with the faint light of morning, clouded by the still pouring rain. The candles had burned down into nothing at some point in the night]

[ The temperature is... exceptionally high. Despite that, Oria still has a peaceful expression in his sleep. In fact, he seems to be in a much deeper sleep than usual. He'd usually get up around this time, but he's still quietly snoozing. ]

[ That's...bad. Sinclair frowns and carefully wriggles out of bed, tucking the blankets back around Oria. He checks his phone to see if this been charged over night. Hopefully the power's been restored. He'll go pick up a few things from the campus store but he'll duck in the bathroom first to check for running water. He'll quickly get a cool, damp towel and put it on Oria's head to try and cool him down]

[ Thankfully, the phone has been charged! And the power is back on. The water has also been restored, so Sinclair will be able to get some running water. Once the damp cloth is on Oria's forehead, he frowns and wakes up. Everything is so blearily and... ]

... gross... what is that...

A towel. [Oria, please. Sinclair will just gently nudge Oria back to lie down properly] Your temperature is really high, so you need to cool down a little...

It feels gross... Can I get an ice pack?

[ Oria whines. He really doesn't like damp or slimy things... ]

Mm, I'll get one. Give me a sec.

[Luckily, they do have a mini fridge in their room with a small freezer. So he'll get the ice pack out, wrap it in a dry cloth and put it on Oria's head, replacing the wet towel]

Better?

Much better. Thanks--

[ He holds back a sneeze and it feels like his lungs were about to explode. Ghhhh ]

[...

Sinclair will put a tissue box within Oria's reach]

I'll go get some more stuff from the campus store, so you take it easy, okay?
