It seemed like every other day he woke up finding his vision blurry, he was still tired after all of the paperwork he was forced to do the night before. He brushed his red hair out of the way and let out a cough. As he did he sat up fast, making him feel dizzy, which made him groan. He had a fever.
“You have got to be fucking kidding me! I get sick right after I work all night for a presentation today! What the hell!” He tried walking around but tripped and fell. He groaned into the carpet and wondered why he thought that was the right thing to do.
He heard footsteps coming from the other end of the hallway, which he could only assume was Robert, ready to scream at Johnny for not being out of bed. He sighed and tried to stand up again. He grabbed the side of the bed and leaned against it. He was out of breath already.
“Johnny!” Robert said slamming his bedroom door open. “You have a meeting in an hour why aren’t you-“he stopped when he noticed Johnny’s legs shaking. “Are you alright?”
“Yeah I’m fantastic!” Johnny said rolling his eyes. “Just help me get into my suit already! I want to get this meeting over with.” He said groaning. Robert walked over and put Johnny’s arm over his shoulder and put his hand on Johnny’s forehead.
“You’re burning up! You were up late working again weren’t you? You know that puts too much stress on you.”
“Clark said I needed to fill out a few more things for the meeting today. Then after I filled out the papers I needed to read four more reports and then the work just kept increasing.” He said with a sigh. Robert helped him walk back over to the side of his bed. “I’m the Gladiator of Glasgow! I can handle a damn cold!” After he spoke he started to cough a lot.
“Go back to bed Johnny. I’ll reschedule this meeting. Your company needs you to be healthy and have your mind focused. Go back to sleep. I’ll make sure your maid brings in a dehumidifier and that you get enough to eat and drink.” Robert almost had to push him back onto his bed. Johnny growled at his friend but he simply ignored it. Robert walked out promising to come back and keep him company after he rescheduled the meeting.
Johnny yawned as he stared at his ceiling. He looked over to the dresser next to him and saw his Salamalyon blade and grabbed it. He smirked remembering all of the fun he would have with his team in different tournaments. He remembered the first time he had actually gotten to be closer with his friends. He felt happier knowing that he could call the friends and be one hundred percent sure of it. He pulled the covers up more and well asleep hoping he would feel better tomorrow morning.
He woke up later that night to see Robert reading through some documents and a small bowl of soup sitting next to his bed. He sat up a bit only to feel the blood rushing to his head which made him let out a groan. Robert stopped reading and walked over to the bed. When his cool hand touched Johnny’s head he jumped.
“You’re cold man!”
“I just go inside. It’s quite cold in your house right now.” Johnny looked around and touched the side of the bowl of soup. It wasn’t cold at all. He looked over at Robert and he chuckled. “Just checking your sensory. You seem to be getting healthier quickly.”
Johnny leaned back against his head board and took in a deep breath. He hadn’t taken a break in such a long time. Constantly working day after day was slowly wearing him down. Just sitting here in his room was a wonderful thing.  He looked over at Robert and saw he had put down the papers he was reading.
“You read all the reports?”
“Yes. Now relax. Our meeting was scheduled for next week. Plenty of time for you to catch up on anything new that might show up.” He told his friend.
Johnny sighed and picked his soup up. Slowly slurp after slurp he’d take a relaxed breath. His head was starting to feel much better now. He smiled as he looked down at the soup. He had had this soup once when he was younger. His maid had made it when he had plans a few days later. It made him feel better immediately. He was sure it would do the same once again.
“Johnny?” He turned to Robert as he looked at him. “Did you sleep with your beyblade?” He looked down at his side to see it still lying there.
“So what?”
“It’s not a bad thing. It’s just… I never took you as such a sentimental person.” He sated bluntly.
“Salamalyon has always been there for me. Every time I was sick it felt like he was there helping me stay strong.” Johnny said still looking into his soup. “Everyone had their childhood somehow. Salamalyon was my only friend for a time in my life, much like your connection with Griffolyon, right?” He said smiling at his friend.
“Our bit beasts will always be precious to us. Griffolyon will always be special to me, as you said. Is your illness making you tell this all to me?” He said with a faint smile on his face.
“That could be it.” He said as he took another sip of his soup. “Maybe I’m finally realizing that I have to grow up and I can’t be the same kid I used to be. I have limits now that I physically do as much as I did when I was younger.”
Robert smiled and let Johnny finish his soup then go right back to bed. Robert sighed and decided he would stay over the night to keep an eye on his friend. Once he was ready for bed he made sure Johnny’s maids kept an eye on him during the night. When he woke up he heard Johnny’s voice in the hallway. He sat up and his friend had barged in. He acted like his normal cocky and energetic self. Robert smiled as his friend motioned the swinging of a golf club. He got the hint and started to get dressed.
“I’m glad you’re feeling better my friend.” He told him from inside the room.
“Yeah, yeah. Hurry up ya’ prude. I can only book the golf course for a few hours… after what happened last time.” He said standing from outside the room.
“I always tell you your temper will be the death of you.” He said with a chuckle. “So try to keep calm today. I might have to have you bed ridden once more.”
I decided to use Johnny because I have been roleplaying with someone who plays with the character. I after watching some clips over again, and talking with "johnny" and the roleplayer them self I wanted to write more about him. : 3
