Work Text:
Stell hurried his steps, the distressed voice of his boyfriend echoing through his skull like a relentless warning. It filled his heart with worry that despite how late it was; he didn't care. He uttered a silent prayer when the elevator took too long to respond. He badly needs to see his boyfriend!
He just got home from work and was about to hit the sack when he got a call from his boyfriend. He admits that seeing that name pop up on his screen wiped up all the remnants of exhaustion in his body. But hearing his boyfriend's voice; hoarse, sleazy, and seems to be in pain, made him panic. He dashed out of his unit, drove for at least 20 minutes, and sprinted towards the elevator. The moment it opened, Stell immediately boarded it, his heart thumping with worry.
The elevator finally opened, leading him to the 10th floor for what seems like an eternity. He practically ran, he immediately unlocked the door of his boyfriend's unit and frantically searched for him.
"Babe?! asan ka?!" he shouted as he searched the dim condominium. He noticed a few plants being knocked over and there was a bunch of clothes on the floor. "Shit! Ano ba'ng nangyari?" He cursed under his breath before deciding to follow the trail of clothes towards his lover's bedroom.
He immediately swung the door open and what appeared to him was his lover, curled under the thick duvet. He immediately went to his side with worry.
"Babe?" He called out, nudging the other man gently, he carefully pushed the blanket covering his lover's face aside and he saw his lips quivering, and a tinge of pink spreads through his cheeks.
The sight made Stell even more worried and so he moved to touch the latter's forehead. He was hot, scorching hot.
Stell moved his hand to touch his lover's neck but he was caught off guard when a warm hand touched his own, halting him from reaching.
"Baby....." Justin called out, his voice was hoarse that it almost came out as a croak. Stell's worry spiked through the roof. "Baby, diyan ka lang muna, kukuha lang ako ng towel at maligamgam na tubig. Keep yourself warm muna" Stell gently said as he went down to kiss Justin on the forehead, tucking him to the duvet after.
Stell moved to get a basin and a clean towel, His moves fast and deliberate. It's rare for Justin to catch a flu but when he does, it's always chaos for Stell. Not only is Justin a clingy little baby, he also does things that pushes Stell to the edge of his self control.
Stell came back to the room, hearing his lover call for his name. He didn't waste any time and carefully laid Justin straight. "Baby, pupunasan lang kita saglit ha?" Stell uttered with utmost softness as he began to run the towel on Justin's face and down to his neck.
"Stell...... Stell.... hmm..... baby....." Justin croaked, catching Stell's attention and so he moved closer to inspect his lover's face, monitoring his breathing. "Andito lang ako, pupunasan lang kita para makapagbihis kana" Stell uttered and proceeded to wipe Justin off.
He cast the blanket aside only to realize that Justin was naked underneath. Stell can already feel the heat spreading through his cheeks. He shook his head and just continued to wipe Justin on his chest and to his slender torso.
He puffed a breath when he was finally done but before he could settle the towel down to the basin, his gaze fell upon Justin's face.
His disheveled hair sticking to his forehead, the tinge of pink on his cheeks, and his slightly parted lips as he breathes, made Stell feel a wave of heat more than he cared to admit. He had seen Justin countless times like this, heck he had seen all of him from different point of views which he refuses to detail, but it always amazes him just how ethereal his boyfriend looks.
Stell nearly went down to kiss Justin right on the lips but he stopped himself. "Stell, may sakit si Jah. Andito ka para alagaan siya, gets?" He reprimanded himself before shaking his head and returning the basin to the bathroom.
He went to the dresser and pulled out a comfy pajama, He approached his lover ever so carefully.
"Babe? Bihisan kita, saglit lang 'to, tatanggalin ko muna kumot mo" he heard Justin hummed hoarsely but he could tell that it was consent. He ever so carefully removed the blanket aside and was once again mesmerized by the sight.
Justin's body has always been beautiful, nothing less than perfection, and Stell of all people should be the one used to that but, he still cannot fully comprehend that fact just yet. This is the body that he worships any chance he gets and it's always a pleasure making it shake in excitement.
"Matunaw ako niyan" Stell was awoken from his daze when a hoarse voice reverberated through his skull. His gaze fell on his lover's face and that's when he realized that he was already awake. Justin's eyes were still practically closed but his gaze pulls Stell in ways so familiar to him. Stell wanted to shy away, he cannot believe he was marvelling over Justin's body when he was scorching in fever!
He moved closer to Justin's face and held the pajamas in his hand to show the latter. "Baby, bibihisan lang kita ha? Para 'di ka lamigin, okay?" Stell uttered smiling, dismissing his lover's statement, but as he was about to move away, Justin's hands found his collar and pulled him in closer before slamming his lips onto Stell.
Stell doesn't know how to react, it was too sudden and unexpected, he wanted to pull away but as he felt Justin's warm lips move slowly, he couldn't find it in himself to break the kiss.
He cupped Justin's jaw and kissed him deeply, Justin tasted of oranges which strangely made Stell kiss him more. He was so lost in the sensation and even more so when Justin let out a soft moan in between their mouths. Stell felt the heat cursing through his whole body, like a ticking time bomb that's about to detonate.
"Hmm, stell....." the sound of Justin's breathy wine, awoke Stell's heat even more but he knew, that they needed to stop. It took every ounce of Stell's self control to pull away from the kiss. In all honesty, he is willing to kiss his boyfriend till the crack of dawn but he is sick, and he needs to rest.
Despite Justin's groan of desperation, Stell stood up. "Babe, Kailangan mong magpahinga, ang taas ng lagnat mo, oh" Stell uttered, sitting down to the bed and putting the pajamas on his lover's bare body.
"Kiss..... gusto ko kiss!" Justin protested, like a child having a tantrum and to say that it didn't amuse Stell would be a lie 'cause he is surely digging his boyfriend's cute antics. "Kiss? sige mamaya pagkatapos kitang bihisan, okay?" Stell said, consoling his lover. Justin's satisfied smile made Stell chuckle.
Thank goodness that Justin cooperated well as he dressed him, even tucking himself on the soft duvet. Stell smiled at the sight, his gaze lingering. He carefully stood up, taking off his dress shirt and throwing in a white sando he had picked from Justin's dresser. Before returning to Justin, he took a pad of koolfever with him.
He climbed up to the bed slowly, not wanting to disturb the now Sleeping Justin. He carefully placed the koolfever on his lover's forehead as he smiled.
"Pagaling ka, Mahal ko" Stell whispers as he kisses Justin on the cheek. He heard Justin hum in recognition and moved closer, snuggling his head on his chest. Stell's heart fluttered, his worry dissipating in the silence of the night. This is what he wants to come home to; to be with his lover and snuggling with him till the morning.
He snuggled back, kissing the top of Justin's hair before whispering; "I love you, good night" He felt Justin's hug tightening which made Stell smile like an idiot. His heart is happy, so happy it could burst.
He is sure that Justin will be okay when they wake up tomorrow and so, he lets his mind rest. For now, he just wants to be close to his lover, to cuddle with him till the sun breaks in, and until tomorrow, he lets his heart get the best of him.
