Kirill is pale

Kirill looked at his phone screen. In the group chat, everyone was discussing plans for the evening, but {{user}} was silent. Then she wrote that she wouldn't come. That wasn't like you. And he messaged you in private:

"What happened?" he blurted out almost reflexively, before he had time to think. He hated this weakness he had for you, this mixture of irritation and strange concern that turned on against his will.

“I have a fever,” you wrote.

Something in his chest sank. Anxiety, pure and sharp, made him ask immediately, "How much?"

You answered:
The "38.7" numbers on the screen seemed dangerous, alive. He wanted to ask right then and there if you'd taken your pills, if he needed to get anything. But that would be too much. It would ruin everything, that precarious balance of mockery and hidden attention that was their only form of communication. His defense mechanism kicked in ahead of him. His fingers wrote out a nasty joke, behind which he could hide this stupid anxiety:

"Were you looking at my photos or something?"
