Nhu had been feeling really crappy and knew he had a fever coming on. He informed his manager that he was unwell and said he wouldn’t be available the next few days. Luckily he didn’t have any planned events for the next few days so there wouldn’t be any major rescheduling of anything. He thought about texting Zee but didn’t want to worry him as he wasn’t going to be home for another 2 days and didn’t want him to rush home from his event. Nhu did ask that his mum drop him off at Zee’s place though because he left his car there the other day and didn’t want her to know he wasn’t feeling well and worry over him either. He told her he would probably just stay here until Zee got home and she smirked saying ok. He let himself into the house and went up to Zee’s room feeling exhausted but took a quick shower and put on one of Zee’s t-shirts that almost fell to his knees. He breathed in the scent of his boyfriend saddened by how much he missed him but knew he would be home in a few days and with that climbed into bed falling into a restless sleep. He struggled to sleep because one minute he was sweating and the next he was freezing. At one point he had woken up knowing he should go take some meds but didn’t have the energy and tried to go back to sleep. At another time when he woke up he thought he heard Zee talking to him and something cold on his forehead but he was too far gone with his fever to really know what was going on. Later in the evening Nhu woke up feeling better but still slightly feverish, he was about to move when he realized he couldn’t and also realized he was lying on top of a familiar body. He carefully lifted his head off of the chest he was snuggled into seeing his Hia’s sleeping face smiling a little then remembered he was sick and gently tried to move away from him. As he started sliding out of Zee's arms they all of a sudden tightened around him pulling him back up under Zee's chin and he heard Zee grumbling in his sleep. He softly giggled, resigning himself to the fact that he wasn't going to be escaping and curled back up on top of Zee going back to sleep. Later he woke up to Zee leaning over him touching his forehead and neck trying to see if he still had a fever. It took Zee a second to realize Nhu was awake but when he did he asked how he was feeling and Nhu said he was feeling much better. Nhu asked why Zee was home and Zee explained that he had pushed to get his schedule done early to surprise Nhu and then when he heard that Nhu was sick he had everyone rush his last photoshoot. He leaned forward pressing his forehead against the Nhu’s with his eyes closed and asked Nhu why he didn't tell Hia that he wasn't well with a worried tone to his voice. Nhu felt bad that he had worried Zee and explained that that was why he didn’t tell him he didn’t want him to rush home to look after him, he said pouting a little knowing it was probably his mum that gave him away. Zee, still slightly upset Nhu didn’t tell him but also understood why leaned his forehead back against Nhu’s before saying he would rather be here to look after him then find out later and have not been there for Nhu. Nhu felt a little guilty for making Zee feel bad and promised that next time he would tell him while promptly snuggling in closer to him. Zee wrapped his arms tighter around Nhu and felt him relax slowly before he felt his soft breaths against his neck soften until he knew Nhu was asleep. He gently made sure the blankets were all tucked in around them making sure Nhu was completely covered before letting Nhu’s soft breaths lull him back to sleep knowing that in a hour he should get Nhu up to eat some soup but for now he was just happy to have his Nhu in his arms.
