Chapter Text
Apo woke up to the sounds of his door being opened. "No peopling wanted, please go away!" They attempted to shout, but it was not very loudly as they were quite f♡cking exhausted.
The response to whomever had come in was to shut the door behind them as they entered the room, laughing softly to themselves. "I don't count as people, I assume?"
Apo shifted in a lazy attempt to get up as he made grabby hands towards Owen. They repeated 'hi' a few times as they couldn't quite figure out how to process missing someone.
Per usual, this was met with many loving 'hi's back. After this died down, Owen opened the grocery bag that he had been holding. "I brought some Gatorade, and I put some chicken noodle in the kitchen..." Owen said while putting some of the strawberry Gatorade - yes, he had memorized that Apo liked strawberry Gatorade because he hated the fruit punch kind and they were both red - on the nightstand. Apo promptly responded to this by giving Owen hugs, which Owen responded positively towards but pulled his head back. "I'm sorry little love, I can't give you forehead kisses. You are sick."
"I know," Apo practically whined the words as they drew out the 'o'. "but what about cuddles?" To him, this sounded like a great alternative because he was sick and going off of a mix of kid and cat logic...
Owen sighed slightly, considering it for a moment. "Sorry pretty kitty, I really shouldn't." - Gosh, Owen hated how that made Apo deflate. - "I have school tomorrow." Owen tried to reason. Apo wasn't happy with it, but they understood this reasoning and parted from the hug, getting ready to curl back up in bed and rest. Owen however, was not content with this reasoning. "Scooch." Apo made a small confused noise but Owrn quickly responded. "I want cuddles, scooch over." And Apo did and that's why Owen - with his pristine record of not missing a day of school - had infact missed both Monday and Tuesday that week.

Authors Note :
Apo only liking strawberry Gatorade (which is the one that's harder to find) and not liking fruit punch Gatorade is based on me because I fish frickin' hate cool blue Gatorade but love glacier freeze (which of course is the less common one). Also, the part where he kept repeating 'hi' is just me projecting because I do that to my friends a lot because I just don't know how to process missing people - I'm totally nerotypical (except for the fact that I'm not).
