Care (Leo/Sakura)

Leo was stubborn; that was a fact. Making him sit down was a nearly impossible task. Was he truly that careless he would work himself into a coma.

"I swear I'm fi–" A sneeze interrupts Leo.

"N-no, no, you aren't!"

"Alright, you're right Princess Sakura, but it's just a little cold, it'll pass–" Another sneeze.

"But it won't go away if you don't lay down at least for today, s-so, please, go back to your tent, I-I can take care of you myself, if that's fine with you."

"Princess Sakura, I thank you for your concern, but really, it won't be necessary, now, if you'll excuse me–"

Leo starts walking, but Sakura quickly moves to block the way. "N-no! A simple cold can get pretty bad if unattended, and I've seen how hard you work all the time, I know you'll get worst, and then you'll have to stay in bed forcefully for more than a day!" Her words trail off at the end; she turns his blushing face the other way. "S-sorry, I know I can't force you, but I-I'm worried about you..."

Well, Princess Sakura had a point. Leo was oddly proud that she had noticed how hard he worked all the time, though, as well. And pretty sure the heat he felt rising in his cheeks was a fever, maybe he really needed to take it easy for today.

"No need to apologize, I–" Leo clears his throat; it was starting to itch. "I'm the one how should apologize for being so stubborn. I truly appreciate your concern Princess Sakura, and you're right, maybe I should stay put for today. I will gladly take on your offer to look after me; I'm sure there's no better healer than you around."

Sakura looks at him, eyes wide. "T-thank you, Prince Leo. I'm sure our other healers could do as f-fine a job as me, though." Her eyes wander to the side once more.

"I'm sure not–" And another sneeze.

"W-well, you better get back inside then, I'll go bring some things and be back as soon as I can!"

"Alright, I won't be going anywhere and, Princess Sakura– Thank you."

"I-I– D-don't worry about it, Prince Leo." She smiles, unsure of what else to say, and runs off.

Leo must be very lucky to have someone like Sakura watching over him. He would have to find a way to repay her and show his gratitude later.
