    Summary

    I couldn’t bear it any longer. I gathered him into a tight hug, blanket and all. My cheek pressed against his neck, and I was reminded once again of the heat coming off his skin. “You’re running a temp,” I murmured.

    “Am I?” Charlie said blearily.

    “Yep.” I stroked back his curls and pressed a kiss to his too-warm brow. “You self-sacrificial idiot. What am I going to do with you?”

    When the Truham rugby team is down two players ahead of their upcoming match, Nick turns to Charlie for help. Little does he know, Charlie isn’t feeling too well himself.

    But of course, Charlie agrees to play anyway. And they both have to deal with the consequences.

    or

    An absolute saga of a sickfic feat. sick!Charlie and later sick!Nick, questionable self-care and a whole lot of cuddles.

    Summary

    “Carlos? Babe, hey, what happened? What happened?” The cool hands are supporting him, turning him over to sit him down against the counter, thumbs on his sweaty temples.
    TK’s face is an incoherent blur to Carlos, skewed by the fever and the fresh pain.
    “Carlos,” TK says again, not so much a prompt as a worried exhale. Fingers press briefly against the pulse point on the underside of Carlos’ jaw.
    Even as he shudders at the comfort the touch brings him, Carlos says, “You promised you wouldn’t help.”
    Through the whirling of his vision, he notes a painful brightness in TK’s eyes.
    “Why won’t you let me look after you?” TK bursts.

    A suspiciously violent bug wipes Carlos out despite his best efforts to plough on through a twelve-hour shift. TK takes care of him.

    Summary

    The first time Charlie gets sick, he doesn't think much about it. The second time, he tries to dismiss it as a coincidence. By the third time, he knows it's a problem but doesn't know what to do.

    Or, Charlie finds himself the victim of an unknown illness and pulls away from the team in response. The team refuses to stand aside and let that happen.

    Summary

    David meant to ask if something was wrong but what came out of his mouth instead was, “Umm, you look dreadful.”

     

     

    “Thanks, David.”

     

    “Is there a catastrophe with the spreadsheet or—?” David trailed off, waiting for Patrick to respond.

     

    “David, I just don’t feel well,” Patrick finally answered, his voice thin and drawn. “I am alright.”

     

    His pursed lips turned into a deep frown as he pushed off the door jamb and moved closer to Patrick. His voice had taken on a distinctly bitchy tone as he pointed out, “Umm, not feeling well and being alright are too very different things.”
