Salty let out a long sigh.
Last night he forgot to charge his phone so the moment he woke up there was less than the thirty percent of battery.
While his phone was charging he would usually grab one of his consoles but his DS was charging too after a long night of shiny hunting in Pokémon Black 2 and Itsumi haws currently playing with his switch.
Speaking of Itsumi, she just brought him some apple slices not too long ago.
He looked to his left and saw the sour and sweet fruit sitting on his bedside table.
He slowly tried to pull himself up but a painful crack made him regret each single effort he did as he lowered himself again.
“This fucking sucks.”
It had only been a few days since he couldn’t find the strength to even get out of bed.
The doctors told him that due to his poor posture and other factors that he couldn’t bother to remember right now, he might develop some problems for the near future. Salty, being the idiot he is, ignored each single one of the advices they gave to him.
He deeply regrets that now.
Wriggling his way to the side, he reached his snacks.
Grabbing one of the slices, he pulled it closer to his mouth and once he bit into it, the pain melted away for a moment while he indulged in the sugary fruit.
He heard a knock on his door. “Come in!” He said as the knob turned and his door opened, it was Itsumi wearing a grey oversized blouse.
“Hey Salty, Connor is asking if everything is fine.” Itsumi was carrying his switch in one of her hands while she was holding her phone in the other.
“I mean, I’m as fine as I could be right now.” Salty replied dryly while grabbing another apple slice.
Itsumi grabbed the knob but before closing the door completely she said. “Okay, do you need anything?” Salty just shook his head to the sides as a reply as Itsumi closed the door.
Not being able to do anything else, Salty decided it was a good time for a nap.
He closed his eyes and covered himself in blankets.

The door creaked open waking Salty up from his slumber.
He saw a tall figure and he smiled. “Hi Connor.” Salty said in a sleepy voice as his boyfriend approached him.
“Hi Salty, how are you feeling?” Connor sat down besides Salty and grabbed a few streaks of white hair.
“A lot better now that you’re here.” Salty leaned into Connor’s touch as the taller boy played with his hair.
“I brought pizza.” Connor said in a quiet voice but Salty brightened up all of a sudden.
Connor chuckled and said. “I thought you were sleepy but oh well, let me help you sit up.”
The good thing about being in bed all day was eating in bed.
As he finished eating the greasy and savory meal, Itsumi helped with the dishes as Connor laid in bed with Salty.
“The doctors told me that as long as you continue with the treatment, you’ll be fine in just a few days.” Connor could see how Salty smiled at the good news and that made his heart skip a beat.
“Finally, I could finally help you two with the chores.” Salty said sarcastically as Connor snickered.
“It would be great to finally have someone else clean the bathroom.” Salty punched his boyfriend’s chest lightly as Connor got closer and kissed his forehead.
”I have an idea.” The bigger boy whispered into the ear of the smaller one.
“What about a gentle massage to relax yourself.” The thought of having Connor’s hands all over his body made his cheeks turn red as Connor laughed.
”Is that a no or a yes?” Salty just nodded his head as Connor wrapped his arms around.
“As you wish Salty.”
