Chapter Eighty-One: Sick

She rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Won't your mom get upset?"

"Not when she knows I was here with you," he said.

Y/N sighed. "I appreciate the thought, Rodrick, but I don't want to be responsible for your punishment when your parents find out you spent the day here."

"Christmas break is soon," he told her. "I won't be missing anything important. Speaking of important, you matter more to me than whatever I could be doing there."

She looked up at him and smiled. "As sweet as that is, school is important."

"Yeah, but so are you," he said. "Besides, if you want me to, I'll go over what we studied yesterday while you sleep."

Y/N sighed. "God. You're so stubborn," she mumbled.

He smiled at her. "Yep. That's me. Now..." He clapped his hands together. "Where's Lee?"

Y/N pointed to one of the couches in the living room and Rodrick quickly made his way over. He sat on the couch and stroked Lee who was curled up, taking a nap.

Y/N walked over to him and took a seat beside him and her dog.

Rodrick examined Y/N's face carefully. "You look tired, Y/N/N," he said in a gentle voice. She met his gaze and nodded. "Do you want to take a nap on the couch? I'll look over the notes we took the other day."

"I think I'm going to take medicine first," she told him.

He quickly got up from the couch. "I'll go get it for you," he said.

"It's in the bathroom. In the cabinet," she informed him. He nodded and dashed upstairs.

Y/N curled up into a ball on the couch and gently patted Lee's head. She made a soft noise of contentment and licked Y/N's hand.

Rodrick ran back into the living room moments later, several bottles of pills and liquid medicine in his arms. He set them all on the coffee table and looked at her. "I have no idea what half of these do so I brought all of them," he told her. She pointed to one of the bottles of pills. He held it up. "This one?" She nodded.

He tried to unscrew the lid but all of his attempts were futile.

Y/N held out her hand and he passed it to her. She got the lid off in mere seconds. She took one of the pills from the bottle and screwed the lid back on, setting it down on the coffee table with the rest.

Rodrick read the words that were written on the lid of the pill bottle and his face went red. "Child proof," he chuckled and sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck.

Y/N smiled at him and playfully rolled her eyes.

Rodrick leapt to his feet once again and disappeared into the kitchen. When he came back, he held a cup of water. He handed the glass to Y/N and she popped the pill into her mouth before taking a sip.

Once she was done with the cup, Rodrick placed it on the coffee table for her.

Then he stacked all of the bottles of medication into his arms and went back upstairs.
