Momotarou Mikoshiba x Sick!Reader: Noodle Soup?

" (Y/N)!! Are you feeling any better? " Your beloved and adorable boyfriend called to you for what felt like the 20th time today as he cheerfully entered your room and went to peek at your condition. The usual bright smile that crossed his face only seemed to annoy you even more than you already were thanks to the sickness--how could he be so happy when you felt like you were were dying!?

Okay, maybe dying was an exaggeration, but it felt pretty close. You woke up with the most painful Flu you've ever had--aching body, throbbing headache, a fever that would probably break the thermometer if you tried to measure it, and the inability to eat anything without losing it minutes later--to say you were in a bad mood would be an oversimplification.

" Shut up Momo...I have a headache and you're not helping. " you grumbled in a raspy voice, pulling your blankets over your head and sighing. The boy only pouted, disappointed in both your reaction and the fact that you didn't feel any better.

Once word that you were ill reached him, he wasted no time going to take care of you--he skipped his classes and a swim meet for this. Yet, being as sickly as you were, you just weren't feeling his upbeat personality right now. You just wanted to sleep, and you couldn't really do that with Momo constantly asking how you felt, wanting to take your temperature, or trying to give you medicine. And speaking of which...

" At least let me take your temperature first! "

" But you just did...like...five minutes ago... "

" Well...I-It could have changed in five minutes! " he whined. You simply groan.

" Momotarou Mikoshiba, just let me SLEEP. " you grumpily snapped at him, and shifted your body so that you were turned away from him. There was a time of silence, before his slightly frustrated grumbling and a half-hearted 'fine' could be heard. With that, he left your room.

" Finally... " you muttered. But...after a while, you realized your mistake. You began to think that Maybe you could ease up a little on the attitude. You could have at least said 'thank you' before 'shut up'--even if it wasn't much. But you truly couldn't help it. You felt like you were slowly dying, and you were having a hard time keeping up with Momo's energy as you were usually able to do. Still...you felt bad.

" M...aybe I'll apologize to him later.... " You said through a yawn, before closing your eyes. Yeah, you'd do it later. It wasn't long after you finished that thought that you drifted off into a deep sleep. However, little did you know that your miniature outburst only determined the boy more.

" (Y/N)!!! "

Oh boy, there it was again--that loud cheerful voice that had woken you up many times before. You jolted awake from your peaceful resting, and sat up quickly in surprise. You could hear Momo chuckle at your reaction, and you simply narrowed your eyes at him.

" Your hair is sticking up all over the place~ "

" Be quiet, Momo. " the pink that tinted your cheeks seemed to only amuse him more.

" Look! I made you some soup! " the orange-haired boy chimed with a proud smile, presenting you with a steaming bowl of...soup?

You were going to reject his offer (or at least question it) as you weren't really all that hungry and you weren't sure what type of soup it was, but seeing as you snapped at him earlier, you decided to just let it slide. Besides, it was a pretty sweet gesture.  Even if it looked a little questionable--you couldn't really place your finger on why.

" You know, If you're too sick to eat it yourself, maybe I could-- "

" I can do it myself, Momo. "

His somewhat sulky expression only allowed an all-knowing smirk to appear on your face, but it changed to a rather expectant one as you began to try his creation. Shaking slightly from physical weakness, you took a spoon, quietly thanked him for the meal, and went to take a bite. But strangely you were having a hard time picking up the...oddly long noodles---

oh. wait.

NOW you knew what was wrong.

" ...Momo...this....this is instant ramen... " You blinked, as if trying to make sure you were seeing this right, before looking up at him with an eyebrow raised. And it was clear he hadn't expected to be called out for it, because he rubbed the back of his head and returned your look with a sheepish smile.

" W-Well, you didn't have any canned soup, but I didn't want to leave you  to go get some so I...improvised... "

There was a moment, a long moment of awkward silence between you two, before your quiet attempts at stifling sickly giggles broke it.  Soon, it became full blown laughter--Or somewhat of a mixture of weak laughing and some pretty dry coughing, but that didn't seem to faze you in the least. All the backstroke swimmer could do was give you this bewildered look.

" H-Hey, whats so funny?? "

" N-Nothing, its--i-its just--ahaha~!! " his attempt at getting an answer out of you proved unsuccessful as you couldn't even answer him. And you couldn't help it; he was trying so hard for you and it was adorable. He was such a big dork and you loved it. Momo didn't quite grasp that however, and was still in the dark, but...if it made you feel a little better in your time of illness, then he couldn't complain. Your smile was so cute and contagious.

After finally finishing up your 'soup', you set the bowl down and give a satisfied huff. Your (E/C) orbs gazed up at your boyfriend as he reached for the bowl, and you quickly stopped him.

" Momo. Come here a moment, would you? "

" Hm? " as planned, he stopped what he was doing and glanced at you, before giving you his usual smile. " Of course~ " He went and sat on the edge of your bed--only for you to pull him down on the bed with you and cover his face in loving smooches.

" H-Hey!! (Y-Y/N) !! Quit it!! You're gonna get me sick too, you know!! Then what am I going to do!? " he protested against your affection, but you simply giggled.

" Thank you for taking care of me~.  Sorry for being so grouchy towards you earlier.." you hummed sweetly. " I love you~. "  But he just looked at you in disbelief, as if you had said something completely off the wall insane. This causes you to quickly look away from him. " I-Its not that surprising! Geez.. " you puffed out your cheeks in a pout, turning a bright pink, and Momo laughed a little at your embarrassment.

" Awh, its no problem, (nickname)~! I know you would do the same for me! "





















" ...well, actually... "

" Y-You're so mean, (Y/N)!! "
