Chapter Text
It was like everyother day, waking up next to his perfect boyfriend. His dishevelled hair sticking up in random places, his dark eyes narrow from just having to wake up and face the light, his flawless skin and his stunning smile. Everything about him, Alex loved. But today it was just a tiny bit different, he awoke to his lover coughing and hacking, visibly shaking, face flushed and nose runny. The taller male groaned and led back down on the bed, putting a hand to his head and then sighing. Alex sat up, putting his hand to his boyfriend's head and then moving his hand down to his flushed cheeks.
"Jesus Christ, Jay...You don't look too good..." Alex mutered, mostly to himself, getting up off the bed and going to find the thermometer they had stored somewhere.
"I don't feel too good either..." Jack muttered and groaned again at the pain in his head, which only seemed to worsen as he started another coughing fit.
Alex winced at the sound of Jack's hacking coughs and found the thermometer in the medicine cupboard, in the bathroom. He quickly scurried back to his and Jack's room, placing it into Jack's mouth after he had ceased coughing. It beeped and Alex took it out, checking what it said.
101.5
"Holy hell, babe, your temperature's borderline dangeriously high," Alex said with a worried tone covering his words. He went back into the bathroom and looked back into the medidine cabinet, looking for any medicine he could give to help his boyfriend. He found some cough medicine and paracetamol, which might help for a while. He sighed and went back to Jack, who was curled up in blanket now, shivering and whimpering in pain. Alex slowly tapped Jack and his head popped out of the blanket, face still flushed and his eyes were now puffy and red.
"I have medicine for you, babe, hopefully it makes you feel better...." Alex said in a quiet voice, giving the medicine to Jack and then proceeding to rub comforting circles on his back to help him sleep. Eventually, that's what Jack did, he lay there under the thick duvet, snoring softly as the medicine hopefully worked its magic.
After a while, Alex has also fallen asleep, putting harm arms around Jack's waist and nuzzling into Jack's neck.

Alex woke up the next morning, looking around his bedroom, he noticed Jack was still sleeping in his arms, his adorable face buried into the duvet as he tried to stay warm. Alex smiled slightly at his sick boyfriend and wrapped his arms around Jack again in attempts to keep the younger male warm. The taller male opened his eyes and turns around to look at Alex, his face was still flushed, but he looked a bit better than he had earlier.
"Hey, babe," Alex cooed softly, pressing his lips to his boyfriend's forehead, "How're you feeling?"
"'still feel like crap..." Jack groaned, turning away from Alex and coughing, then turning back to him when he finished.
"I'd think so....You'll probably feel like this for a few days. 'msorry, babe.." Alex sighed, putting his hand gently on Jack's forehead. He had cooled down a bit, but he was still quite warm.
"How 'bout I go make you some soup to feel better?" He continued, standing up. Jack just nodded with a mumble of "please" and Alex walked out of the room, to the kitchen to make his boyfriend some soup.
After he had made the soup, he brought it up to Jack, gently sitting on the bed, next to him, and holding out a spoonful of soup to him, just so, if he needed to get to the toilet to hurl ASAP, he wouldn't have to gently push soup off his lap and then make a marathon run just so he doesn't puke onto the floor. Jack manages a few spoonfuls before he has to throw up.
He makes it to the toilet and chucks up whatever was in his stomach, which wasn't much, and afterwards, Alex gave him some water to drink. Got to keep hydrated.
"Thanks..." Jack choked out as Alex handed him the water.
"No problem, anything for you, babe." Alex said, smiling, and then continued
"Now, let's get you back to bed. You should get some sleep." He gently wrapped his arms around Jack and picked him up easily, carrying him back into their room and laying him down gently on the bed. He then quickly got rid of the soup that he left on the bedside table and climbed into bed with Jack, wrapping hsi arms around the sick boy and bringing him in close.
"I love you, Jacky.." Alex yawned, as Jack started to drift off to sleep.
"I love...you...too..." The taller boy responded, his sentence drawing off as he drifted to sleep. Both boys fell sleep at the same time, and they slept contemptly for the rest of the day. They should be ill more often if this was going to happen.
