Work Text:
Slingshot was curled up in bed, rolling in the blankets and wrapping himself up like a burrito. Despite the fact it was like 40° degrees outside, whatever he had been sick with for the past few days made him feel really cold.
He could hear the door being unlocked from his room and thought over who had keys to the apartament.
Vine Staff and Shuriken had some of course, but they were at work-
"Sliing?!" he heard a familiar voice call out. Ah, Skateboard- wait, hadn't they changed the locks since he'd given him an extra pair of keys?
He grumbled and turned a bit, rubbing his eyes before looking to the door of his room that was soon opened by his friend.
"Slingshot, man! What'chaaaaa-...ah."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"No offense, Sling, but you look kind of miserable."
"You think I don't know that...?" he yawned.
Skateboard sat on the edge of the bed, looking worried. "...Vine told me you were home today so I wanted to come check on you."
"Did she also give you a new pair of keys?"
"Yeah."
he sighed. "Of course she did..."
"But, really. Are you alright?" He asked. His hand reached out to touch the other's forehead and he tensed up at how unusually cold it was.
Meanwhile, Slingshot enjoyed the warm touch, and his hands weakly reached up to grasp at Skate's wrist, keeping his hand in place. He reddened a bit, but didn't protest as long as Sling was fine.
Slowly, his hand moved to cup one of his cheeks whilst thumb instinctively caressed it, prompting the catboy to shift into the touch with a purr.
--------------------------------
Before he knew it, Skateboard was being used as a personal heater. Slingshot was asleep, having laid down across the other one beforehand. His hands were on the back of his neck, and needless to say, Skate couldn't leave anytime soon. Not that he wanted to leave, he actually didn't mind this too much besides the fact his friend was sprawled across him.
This was the first time Skateboard actually thought about their friendship. He essentially had to acknowledge the fact that... he absolutely has a thing for Sling. Perhaps when he'd wake up, it would be a good chance to tell him, but until then, he closed his eyes, falling asleep aswell.
