I am still SO sorry that I keep doing this. I keep getting distracted by being on my server every day. PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!

For appeasement, I will be letting you all know there will be a Valentine's Day special, and I have something planned.

Also, the next chapter for Bobble x Male Reader has been started and will be released soon, for any of you who are a fan of that book as well.

(Y/N) POV

(Y/N) woke up a little later than usual. He thought the sun had woken him up due to how groggy he was feeling.

(Y/N): Ugh... What time is it?... I feel awful...

He tried reaching over to his nightstand but was struck with fatigue. He laid back down on his bed confused.

(Y/N): Ugh... I feel awf- Wait...

He realized what was going on.

(Y/N): Oh I see now...

He ushed through his pain and cold-sweat to lift himself enough to grab his phone before falling back over onto his bed. He turned on his phone screen, blinding him an increasing his pain until it subsided and his eyes adjusted.

He saw that the time was about nine o'clock in the morning.

(Y/N): Geez. I guess I slept in. Did Veronica wake up yet? I feel like she would've come in to as me to make breakfast by now if she had.

Seeing as how he couldn't get up and walk out of his room, he decided he'd go on his phone, after turning the brightness to minimum.

He saw "Two" in his contacts and decided to send a message or two to her.

----------

(Y/N): Thanks...

Marie: ? 

Marie: For what?

(Y/N): You infected me...

Marie: What! Are you alright?

(Y/N): Well, I can't get up...

Marie: I'll be right over there.

(Y/N): You don't need to do that for lil' ol' me.

Marie: Nonsense!

Marie: You helped me when I needded it. The least I could do is help you out too.

(Y/N): There's no way for me to change your mind, is there?

Marie: Nope! See you in a bit!

(Y/N): See ya...

----------

After a few minutes of him watching videos on his phone, he received a phone call; which of course, he answered.

(Y/N): Hello?

Marina: Hey, (Y/N)!

(Y/N): Hey, Marina. What's up?

Marina: Nothing; just seeing what you were up to. Also, seeing if you decided what Splatfest team you were going to join.

(Y/N): Splatfest team?

Marina: Yeah, didn't you see the news?

(Y/N): No, I woke up late due to this sickness.

Marina: You're sick?! That's terrible!

(Y/N): Eh, I'll be fine.

Marina: No need to act all tough. I'll come help you out.

(Y/N): No, it's fine, you really don't need to; why don't you just talk to me more about this Splatfest you were speaking of.

Marina: (Y/N), I'll be there in a little while. Besides, I can show you first hand the Splatfest. Just save room in your stomach for it.

(Y/N): Um... Okay.

He chuckled.

Marina: Great! Now that that's settled, I'll see you in a bit.

(Y/N): Yeah, see you.

He hung up the phone call, then went back to watching videos until he heard something moving around outside his room.

He heard a muffled "(Y/N)?" outside his room. Not long after, his door opened, revealing Veronica.

Veronica: (Y/N)? What're you doing still being asleep? I'm hungry for breakfast.

She said pouting.

(Y/N) smirked.

(Y/N): Sorry, Veronica, but I can't even get up right now. I contracted a cold or something from Marie.

Veronica: Are you okay?! ARE YOU DYING?!

She looked like she was getting really sad. (Y/N) quickly through up both of his hands, waving off the idea.

(Y/N): No no no no no! I'm just not feeling well.

Veronica wiped her forehead.

Veronica: Phew! That's a relief. So, do you need anything? Should I get you something to drink? Something to eat?

(Y/N): No; I just need to rest for a while.

Veronica: Then, I'll help you with that!

(Y/N): Huh?

Before he knew it, she was already climbing in bed with him, cuddling up next to him.

(Y/N): I don't know if that's a good idea; you might get sick too.

Veronica: I don't care. It's resting time.

She said while she was cuddled up next to him.

(Y/N) sighed, then he smiled and cuddled up with her.

~~~

(Y/N) was suddenly woken up by a slight wetness that was extremely cold on his forehead.

(Y/N): AH! What the heck is that?!

He sat upward very fast, causing the ice pack that was on his forehead to fall into his lap.

(Y/N): Huh?

Marie: I thought that would wake you up.

He looked over next to his bed to see Marie chuckling at what she had done.

Marie: But seriously, keep that ice pack on your head; it'll help with the fever.

(Y/N): Okay. Will do.

He held the ice pack against his head for a few seconds.

Marie: No, no, no. You need to lay down.

She walked over to him and lightly pushed him back into the bed, by pushing his chest.

(Y/N): I got it. Just a little bit of rest and relaxation.

Marie: Now you're getting it.

She points out the elephant in the room.

Marie: So, I see someone's a bit... clingy.

She was talking about Veronica.

(Y/N): Oh. Veronica? Yeah, she wanted to keep me comfortable since I couldn't get up.

Marie: Aww, that was sweet of her.

(Y/N): Yeah... I'm bored.

Marie: Well, let's see what there is to do, Bored... Hmm?... You want me to make you something to eat?

(Y/N): Nah, Marina told me to save room for something. I guess she's going to make me something.

Marie: Oh! Marina's coming?

(Y/N): Yeah, she should be here soon.

Marie: Well, I'll look around for something I can do, until then... I don't know; find yourself something to keep you busy.

Marie leaves the room, leaving (Y/N) with the still asleep Veronica.

(Y/N): That helps...

~~~

(Y/N) was lying on his bed still. He had one earbud in his left ear while Veronica, who was now awake, had the other earbud in on her right side so they could both watch videos on (Y/N)'s bed.

Suddenly, the door to the room opened to reveal Marie walking in backward carrying something; it was a TV, not that big, but big enough. Marina was walking in, carrying the other side. The two of them set the TV on the dresser, parallel with the end of the bed.

Marie: There we are.

Marina A bit heavier than it looks, but no real problem.

(Y/N): Hey, Marina.

Veronica: Helloooo!

Veronica gave Marina a big, cheerful smile.

Marina: Heyo! Now. (Y/N). You ready for that Splatfest theme I told you about?

(Y/N): Ready as I'll ever be.

Marina: Great!

Marina walked out of the room. (Y/N) just turned to look at Marie who was smirking with her arms crossed at the end of the bed.

After about thirty seconds, Marina comes back with a plate of delicious, buttery, syrup-covered waffles. (Y/N), Veronica, and Marie's nostrils all flared at the delicious smell of them. This made Marina smile.

Marina: I like the enthusiasm you're all showing! Eight, Marie, I made you two a set of waffles in the kitchen if you'd-

Marina was nearly knocked over by Veronica and Marie running past her to go get their plate of waffles.

Marina: Now then, care to try?

(Y/N): With pleasure!

(Y/N) sat up, slowly, but still with a bit of speed.

Marina set the plate of waffles on his lap.

Marina: Well?... Dig in.

A single tear fell from his eyes.

(Y/N): This meal is almost too perfect to eat... but not that perfect.

He dug into his waffles, and after a few seconds, his mouth felt like it had died and gone to heaven.

(Y/N): If's delifous.

Marina: Don't speak with your mouth full.

He swallowed the bite.

(Y/N): Sorry; I said it's delicious. So, what's the Splatfest supposed to be?

He kept eating.

Marina: It's Pancakes vs. Waffles! Which one's the better breakfast food?

(Y/N): But... didn't you say cold breakfast was better?

Marina: Yes, but-

(Y/N): And didn't you say that spoons were better than forks? How are you supposed to eat waffles with a spoon?

Marina: Okay, I get it! Now. You liked the waffles, right?

(Y/N): Yeah.

Marina: Then, I can count on your vote!

(Y/N): Maybe.

Marina turned back to him, looking defeated.

Marina: What do you mean "maybe"?

(Y/N): Maybe I'll be on Team Waffles, maybe I won't; I haven't tried Pearl's pancakes.

Marina sighed.

Marina: Fair enough.

She huffed.

~~~

The four of them spent the day helping (Y/N) in any way they could. Most of the time, they were all just watching movies or shows on TV, but if (Y/N) needed something to eat or drink, one of them would get it for him.

He didn't know how he felt about it, but they insisted he move as little as possible.

It got to the point where it was late and Marie and Marina needed to go home, and Veronica needed to go to bed.

(Y/N): Thanks girls, for the wonderful day; I don't know how I would've gotten through it without you all.

He said jokingly.

Marie: What else is new.

Veronica: I'll be in the other room if you need anything.

Marina: It was really no problem.

(Y/N): If you girls need anything, just ask.

Marie: This was even for you taking care of me, so there's no need.

Marina: You mind walking us out, and locking the door, Eight?

Veronica: Sure!

Marie and Veronica both exited the room, but Marina still stood there.

Marina: (Y/N)? Did you mean it when you said we could ask you for a favor if we needed anything?

(Y/N): Of course, I did! Why? Is there something you need?

Marina: S-Sort of... You're free to decline if you want.

(Y/N): What is it?

Marina: Well, you know how Valentine's Day is in a few days?

(Y/N): It is? I didn't notice.

Marina: Yeah, well, I was wondering... like I said, you're free to decline if yo-

(Y/N): Marina. Just tell me. It'll be fine.

Marina sighed.

Marina: Well, every Valentine's Day, I get mobbed by fans trying to give me gifts or ask me to be their Valentine, and it's just too much, so... I was wondering... if..... you could-

She mumbled the last part.

(Y/N): What was that?

She mumbled again, but it was slightly louder.

(Y/N): Marina, I need you to speak up; you're mumbling.

Marina breathed in and breathed out.

Marina: I was wondering if you could pretend to be my boyfriend...

(Y/N): Oh. Well... what exactly would I need to do?

Marina: Nothing much! We'd basically just be hanging out, and put up a front that we're to-together!

(Y/N) thought it over for a second.

(Y/N): Sure! I'd love to help you out.

Marina: You would?!

She went up to him and gave him a big hug.

Marina: Thank you, thank you, thank you, SO much!

(Y/N): It's no problem, really.

Marina stopped hugging him.

Marina: Okay, well, I hope you feel better.

(Y/N): Thanks.

Marina: I better get going. Eight's waiting for me.

(Y/N): Right, see you Valentine's Day, Marina.

He chuckled while Marina blushed, facing the opposite way where (Y/N) couldn't see.

Marina then left, leaving (Y/N) now alone in his room.

(Y/N): I've got plans for Valentine's Day... I guess there's a first time for everything.
