Happy Birthday...Leo? {Closed}

{This'll take place on the 14th. I just wanted to post early}

In the past, this day was one of excitement. As a child, he would wake up full of energy. Ready to bring in treats to school for his birthday and share them with his class. Yet as he got older, Leo took this day to relax and spend time with his loved ones. And this, the day he turned seventeen was no different. Well. At least he didn't expect much to be different. He and Keirsta had a date planned. Going to the tennis courts to hit the ball, much like they had done back when he had first arrived. They thought it would be a cute date. Maybe go to the cafe afterwards... The prefect was looking forward to it.

With that in mind, the blond rose from his bed and began to get dressed. The few minutes he spent, was looking for his favorite shirt. Leo swore that he had just gotten it washed, and should be in the drawer. With a sigh, he pulled out another shirt. A red one with a faded Flash logo. Quickly he slipped on a grey jacket and jeans. His red converse tied neatly, and after a moment in the bathroom with his hair brushed--although it was still messy-- and teeth brushed... Leo was ready. With a grin on his face, the prefect left his dorm, calling a goodbye to his dormmates over his shoulder.

Leo took a quick step into the hall, before disappearing back into Keirsta's dorm room a moment later. The prefect used the spare key Keirsta gave him to enter. There didn't seem to be anyone out in the living area. Shrugging it off, he practically skipped to Keirsta's room. And with that, he knocked on the door twice. He put his hands behind his back and rocked on his feet. Waiting.

It had been a month since that one faithful night... She had woken up some time around 3:00AM, getting up and gathering her things together before slipping away to her own dorm in hopes of thinking over what had happened. Her mind was slightly foggy when she had gotten back, so there were details she still couldn't remember clearly. But for the most part, since that time, she had done her best to act normal. Avoiding any personal contact with him on her part, she didn't deny him a kiss whenever he gave her one, or a hug... But she wouldn't act upon giving him herself.

She had woken up with a sick feeling in her stomach, and sleep had been avoiding her ever since. Curled up on her bed in a ball, Keirsta held her stomach with her long locks a mess around her. She looked like shit. She felt like shit. She just wanted to curl up and die. There was a small trash can by her bed, and so if she ever did eventually throw up, it would happen. As of right now though, she just felt horrendously nauseous.

When Leo knocked on her door, she practically jumped. Which, in no way, helped her stomach. Letting out a soft cry of discomfort with it, she eventually returned to her curled up state. "It's open..." Her voice cracked right in the middle of that sentence, and it didn't take a physician to tell she wasn't feeling well. She had the shirt she had gotten from Leo on, as it was large enough to wear somewhat like a nightgown and it was comfortable. Large enough to where it drifted to a right place, but also small enough that it didn't expose anything.

But as of yet, she just wanted to roll off her bed, impale her stomach, or do anything to send the roaring waves of nausea out the door.

The door was pushed open with a squeak, and a head popped around the corner. His eyes scanned the room for Keirsta, to see her laying among the sheets of her bed. Her pink hair pulled back into what looked like an attempt of a bun. She wore a blue t-shirt with a Lions logo printed on the front. It just barely covered her. Her skin was paler than he had ever seen before. Her usually bright blue eyes looked tired. As Leo walked past the door frame, he could see a trash bin sitting close to her bed. Her room smelled like vomit, causing a wrinkle to his nose.

His blue eyes widened, and he hurried over to her side. Sitting carefully at the side of the bed, Leo brushed away any stray hairs that clung to her face. A worried look crossed his face. "Stomach bug?" He guessed lightly, feeling her forehead with his hand. "Do you need water?Have you been keeping hydrated?" Leo removed his hand from her head and took her hand, pressing down on the skin. It came back up easily, meaning she wasn't very dehydrated. If she was, the skin would stay down and not spring right back up.

Partially relieved, he disappeared out into the kitchen without saying a word. He came back with a up of ice water in his hands. The prefect placed it on her nightstand and held out a hand to help her sit up. "I want you to drink some water. Don't drink too fast. You'll throw up."

Curling up into a tighter ball when Leo sat onto the edge of the bed, Keirsta let out a soft groan as Leo brushed the hairs from her face. She hadn't even noticed them, but there had to have been more than a few. "Yeah, that's all..." Although, in the back of her mind, many things were going by. It had been more than a month past the date she was supposed to start that part of her cycle, and it was odd for her to be late. The little thought in the back of her mind on what might be going on startled her, but she had to push it away quickly. "Leo... I'm fine..."

As he disappeared, Keirsta rolled a bit. Her stomach wasn't getting any better, and she wanted to just curl over the side of her bed and hurl. The stench was horrible. When he came back with water, she sighed. Grabbing his hand and sitting up with him, she lurched forwards and wanted to grab the trash can, succeeding to do so. Shuddering, Keirsta took the glass of water and took a small sip of it, the cold water hitting her throat with a refreshing tingle to it.

"Happy Birthday, Leo... I'm sorry, but I won't be able to go for your birthday..."

Leo's eyes softened. He honestly was a bit upset that she was sick. He was looking forward to the date, but he knew that if Keirsta didn't feel well it wouldn't be worth going. "It's fine. I can spend today taking care of you." He did his best to give her a comforting look. Resigning himself to spend the day by her side, Leo dropped his shoes off by the door and slipped off his jacket. The blond rested it on the ground by his shoes.

With that, he returned to her side. The prefect looked into the bucket and recoiled immediately. Keirsta had been too sick to get out of bed. There was a lot puke in there. Holding his breath, Leo hurried away with the trash can, and returned with a different one from the bathroom. He quickly placed it where the first one sat, then disappeared into the bathroom to wash out the vomit. It was not very pleasant to do. The smell itself made him want to add to the pile. Yet he withheld himself, and reached for a air spray.

Leo began spraying the bathroom first. He then made his way out of the door and into Keirsta's room carrying her other bucket in his hands. Quickly dropping it off to the side, the blond began spraying away. A fight against the stench. It took a few long moments, but Leo was able to almost rid the room of it's less than pleasant smell. Instead it was replaced with lavender. Which in Leo's opinion was much better than what occupied the air before. He placed the air freshener on the nightstand and crouched so his head was at her height.

"Is there anything you need? Have you taken medicine? Maybe once you are up to moving, can I get you to go to the nurse?" His words were like a barrage. They escaped his mouth with haste. It was obvious that the prefect was worried for Keirsta. She didn't usually get sick.

Keirsta's stomach churned at the thought of Leo dissing his birthday to spend time with her. "N-No... Call up Aleta... Have her do something with you... It's not right..." As much as she loved the thought he put behind it, she had to say no. It was his birthday, and he damn well deserved to have it be treated as such. Even if he protested... Oh, well, shit. He had put his things down... Great.

Feeling immediate pity for Leo as he peered into the bucket by her trash can, it definitely was a miracle how she didn't have anything left in her body just yet. One could say that was what she got for eating a large dinner the night before, but she knew that this wasn't caused by over-eating at all... She would have felt much better already. Maybe she did have a virus, and it was just being a pain in the butt.

Watching as Leo carried away the bucket into the bathroom and left her with a new one, she sat up and wanted to get up to take care of disposing of her own vomit herself. But when she felt dizzy after standing up to fast, the immediate response to that idea was nope. Grabbing the water and taking another sip of the delicious drink, Keirsta looked towards the bathroom with a sympathetic look. He really didn't have to do that...

When he came out fine, she felt a bit relieved... But also horrible at the same time. Watching as he sprayed the air with the lavendar spray, she inhaled the better-smelling scent greedily. She wasn't surprised her room smelled like vomit, and she did feel even more bad knowing her dorm mates might have been able to smell it. She sent a silent thanks to the high heavens that no one had busted into her room yelling at her for the odor yet, but she'd have a great defense against it.

Listening to Leo's blabber of questions, she leaned against the wall with her arms still folded around her stomach. Trying to process each quesiton as it came, it definitely took a bit out of her to keep up with his concern. While she was thankful that he cared, she couldn't help but think that he might care a bit too much.

"I'd love to get feeling better... I haven't taken anything, I haven't gotten the chance..." She trailed off as she groaned, another wave of nausea wreaking havoc on her already weak body from what had been occuring practically all morning. Great birthday gift to your boyfriend, Keirsta... Buckets full of vomit and worry. "I plan on going down to the nurse, yes...Although it might be awhile..." A yawn pressed up against her features as she continued to lean against the wall, her posture slipping even more so.

Moving forwards to grab another sip of the drink, she patted the spot beside her. "Happy birthday to youuuu~ Happy birthday to youuu~ Happy Birthday dear Leo... Happy birthday to youuu..." She pitifully sang the little tune, the cup being pressed up against her lips quickly afterwards. There was something soothing about the fact that it was cold water that made it so she just didn't want to put it down.

Supposing that was the best he could get from her, Leo stood up from his crouch. The blond gave her a weak smile as she began singing her weak version of 'Happy Birthday' to him. It was sweet of her to try. Carefully, he took up the spot next to her. After a moment of looking back at her, the blond turned his body so he could face her. His hands gently taking her soft hair and removing it from it's bun. He mindfully ran his hand through her hair. Delicately, as he didn't want to pull any of her hairs, the angel pulled her hair back into a pony tail, then began twisting. Setting her wavy hair back into a better bun. Leo had done his best to remove the strands from her face, but where were a few that persisted. However those won't get into her mouth if she threw up.

Leo hoped she wouldn't ask about how he learned to put people's hair into a bun. He did have to help Aleta get ready when she was a kid. Sometimes buns were the easiest to do when they were in a hurry. Right? He turned back forward, giving Keirsta her space back. There wasn't much more he could do for her, besides try and offer advice. "You should try and sleep too." The blond suggested, looking back at her as she sipped at the ice water.
