“Call me if you need anything.” + “The key is under the mat.”

“Call me if you need anything, okay?” you said while putting your shoes on by Minghao’s door. He looked at you with a small smile and nodded, wrapping his thick robe better around himself as another set of chills ran over him. You pouted a little at the sight. “Remember to rest.”
“I will, don’t worry,” he smiled at you reassuringly and waved at you a little while you opened the door, visibly unwilling to leave him alone. Minghao chuckled softly. “Come on, it’s just a flu.”
“I know,” you mumbled, but knowing that he had a high fever had you worried regardless.
“Have a good day,” Minghao said, and with that you left.
You had difficulty focusing for the day, as your thoughts continuously returned to Minghao and how weak he had been throughout your morning visit. All you could do was hope he really was spending as much time resting as possible, while also remembering to drink enough water and eat even if he didn’t feel like it.
While you were hoping you wouldn’t receive a call during the day, it was between lunch and your next lecture that your phone was ringing, and you were quick to answer.
“Minghao, is everything okay?” you asked quickly, and frowned when you heard him cough a little.
“I forgot that I’m out of medicine,” he began, audibly pouting, and sighed quietly. “I’m really sorry, I didn’t want to bother you, but could you–”
Automatically standing up from the table you were sitting by, you nodded despite knowing he wouldn’t see it. “I’ll be right there.”
“Thanks,”Minghao said, and you could hear the smile on his lips. “The key is under the mat.”
“Alright, I’ll be right there,” you smiled before ending the call, and while quickly walking to the nearest bus stop, figured the best route to take to visit the pharmacy and then Minghao’s place the fastest.
Eventually, with a pharmacy bag in one hand, you were finally moving the mat in front of Minghao’s door to get his spare key, and not much later you were opening the door, looking around in search of him.
“I’m here,” you called, hoping it was loud enough for him to hear, and let out a relieved sigh when you heard Minghao’s voice.
“I’m in bed,” he said, and you wasted no time in taking your shoes off and getting him a glass of water as well as the medicine, and went to sit on the edge of his bed. He smiled at you weakly while slowly sitting up. “You were fast.”
“I had to be,” you said and stroked his arm gently before handing him the medicine. “How are you feeling?”
“Not great, but having you here makes it bearable,” he smiled, and you smiled back at him, making sure he took the medicine before laying back down.
Minghao sighed, and you put his blanket better on him and stroked his side soothingly over the blanket. “I hope you get better soon.”
“Me too, this sucks,” he said quietly, and you chuckled while nodding.
“I’ll come back after my classes are over,” you whispered, somehow sensing that Minghao wasn’t too far from falling asleep, considering his closed eyes and everything.
“I’ll be waiting,” he replied quietly, barely aware that he was speaking, and you smiled a little.
