No major content warnings. // Words: 1132

It started off with an unexpected sneeze, followed by some sniffling, and then a quick survey to see if anyone noticed. Nope. Everyone was still occupied with today’s drills, and the flow of practice remained unperturbed. That is, what Kenma thought originally.

After practice ended, the team walked together toward the local convenience store near the train station before they departed ways. Kenma’s pace was more sluggish than usual and he fell quite behind that Kuroo had to stop and wait for him to catch up.

“Hey, are you feeling okay?”

“Yes.”

“Are you sure? You were kind of out of it during practice.”

To be honest, Kenma already felt winded and out of breath only halfway through practice, and had to take longer breaks than usual in an attempt to keep from collapsing in front of the team.

“I’m fine Kuro.”

The taller of the two squinted down at him before shrugging and resuming their walk back to their houses.

“If you say so…”

Kenma surely hoped so.

x-o-x-o-x


Oh my god.

There is no god.

No kind and revered god would allow for the creation of such a contraption that is currently screeching away in his room, the noise level amplifying with every second that passed in which Kenma didn’t turn his alarm clock off.

Finally wishing to spare himself from an oncoming headache, Kenma tried to get up to turn the accursed object off. Keyword: tried. A wave of nausea and vertigo came over him that he collapsed right back onto his pillow. Kenma placed a hand on his forehead and noticed, a bit miserably, that it was hot to the touch. There was a burning behind his eyelids and they felt heavy as he blearily opened his eyes to check the time. School started in an hour, but he doubted this would pass before then.

His mother soon came up to his room (worried at the lack of noise from upstairs), and upon seeing the state of her son and taking his temperature, she adamantly demanded that he stay at home and rest. Today was Friday, and he had no upcoming quizzes or projects in the upcoming week, so Kenma was okay with that. Not to mention, a day in bed with his handheld games sounded like a pretty good idea. He could also text Kuroo to pick up any missed homework from a classmate of his before he went home.

With this in mind, Kenma quickly wrote a text to his best friend along with a brief explanation for his absence. He then put his phone down on the bedside table, and pulled his blanket up high enough that it almost completely encased him in a cocoon of warm, soft cotton. He let himself be lulled back to sleep and the last thing he heard was the beep of his phone signaling he received a text message.

x-o-x-o-x


“Shh! Quiet you’re going to wake him!”

Hushed whispering.

“Lev, be careful with that bowl! The soup is hot!”

The sound of shuffling feet and bags being placed on the floor.

“Don’t worry Yaku-san! I won’t drop it!”

“Why did I think it was a good idea to let you guys come with me…”

“We’re worried about Kenma too, Kuroo-san.”

A few others chimed in.

There were way too many voices in his room now that Kenma was curious enough to be pulled from his slumber and peek at the intruders.

“Ah! He’s awake!”

Yaku pushed his way through the mini crowd of people, and was the first one to reach Kenma’s bedside. Before Kenma could voice out his complaints of them being too loud or question what they were doing in his room, Yaku placed the back of his hand on his forehead to check his temperature. Yaku’s hands were soft and cold; Kenma allowed his eyes to flutter back shut and enjoy the cool sensation.

“Your fever’s gone down,” The elder third year breathed out a sigh of relief and took his hand away, and before Kenma could meekly voice his protest, Yaku brought it back and petted his head gently.

---

Kenma eventually opened both eyes again to see that his team had made a spot for themselves in his room, and well, his room wasn’t the biggest out there but seeing these guys cram themselves here made it look much smaller.

Yamamoto and Inuoka were currently on the floor playing something on his TV with Fukunaga beside them watching and putting his two cents in here and there. Kai and Shibayama were by his desk dividing up the take-out, since none of them wanted to risk thrashing his kitchen if they tried to cook food. Kuroo was right outside his door, on his phone probably talking to his mom to give her an update about her recovering son. Yaku had already moved away to fetch the tray with the bowl of soup on it. So all that left was…

“Kenma-san!” An energetic voice boomed next to him.

Kenma jumped a little, startled at not noticing Lev sooner. Wow, he must be still really out of it.

“I know a trick that will make you all better!” Kenma gave the tall first-year a wary look and wondered what he was up to as Lev’s eyes gleamed with excitement and determination as he kneeled beside him.

“Lev.” Came Yaku’s curt warning from off to the side.

“Don’t worry! I saw this on the internet! It works!”

Lev straightened up, as much as he could while he was kneeling beside a skeptical Kenma, and cleared his throat. He then placed his hand on Kenma’s small back and began to rub in small circles.

“Lev, why are you…” Kenma began, but couldn’t finish because Lev opened his mouth and began to sing.

“Soft kitty,
Warm kitty,
Little ball of fur.”


What.

“Happy kitty,
Sleepy kitty,
Purr, purr, purr.”


Again, what on earth…?

The room was deathly quiet as Lev continued to rub small circles into his back, a look of satisfaction of a job well done on his face.

The silence was finally broken with Kuroo’s laughter and the occupants of the room looked to their captain who with one hand was clutching onto the door frame for support, and in the other hand he had held his phone up probably recording the entire exchange. Their captain’s laughter was apparently infectious as the rest of the team burst into tiny chuckles and then full-blown peals of laughter as well. Some even asking (read: Kuroo, Yamamoto, and Inuoka) for an encore performance from Lev who looked all too thrilled to sing the song again.

Kenma changed his mind, despite the endearing gesture of them coming over, he concluded that he should have kicked all of them out the first moment he regained consciousness.

Ah, sorry! This turned out into a Nekoma cuddle pile as instead of a full-on LevKen or LevYaku fic! (´; ω ;`) I also know that the scenario could have been reversed, with Lev who was sick and he'd teach those two how to sing "Soft Kitty", but this is what came down on paper when I tried to write it and so I ran with it! This was such a cute prompt, thank you for it~! (^・ω・^ )
