“What do you think you’re doing?!” snapped Sehun, coming into the bedroom  and putting his hands on his hips as he saw Jongin attempting to move in his bed.

Startled, Jongin’s eyes widened and he froze halfway between the sitting and lying position that he was in. With a nervous gulp, he took in the seething male that was his best friend, glaring down at him.

“I..ahh, well,” stammered Jongin, fists curling in the sweaty cotton sheets, as he tugged them over himself for protection – angry Sehun means be afraid – while he shrunk into the bed, hoping to appear to be a smaller target for his fury.

“The doctor said to stay in bed and not to move,” said Sehun with a slight tinge of annoyance to his voice, as he hurried over to Jongin and fussed over him. “Do you ever listen?”

“Well…not really,” Jongin admitted with a wry grin as he allowed Sehun to gently push him back into bed, ignoring the twinge of pain in his lower back as it protested at the sudden movement. “But I’ll listen now that you said it.”

Smiling as he watched Sehun’s cheek flush a pale pink, Jongin let his eyes roam freely over him, as his friend adjusted the tangled sheets and fluffy pillows beneath his head with a concerned frown on his face.

With a creamy complexion adorned with blush-coloured lips and deep chocolate eyes, and his slender frame hovering over him as he continued to poke and prod at Jongin – imitating Kyungsoo’s ‘mother-hen mode’ – Oh Sehun was truly remarkable, and while Jongin wanted to tell him just how beautiful his friend was, he refrained from doing so in an attempt to maintain their close bond.

Barely resisting the urge to lean forward and kiss Sehun’s lips, Jongin instead reached up and ruffled the boy’s tousled locks, eliciting a slight whine of displeasure.

“Are you hungry, Jongin?” Kyungsoo asked, coming in to check on his macknaes – his eyes widening even more as he took in their slightly compromising position. “I-I could make something for you.”

“”I’ll do it!” Sehun immediately responded, before Jongin even had a chance to open his mouth. “I’ll make you chicken soup – it’ll help you get better.”

“Sehun…I’m injured – not sick,” Jongin chuckled uselessly, as Sehun flounced out of the room, intent on completing his mission of making chicken soup.

“Well…now that that’s sorted, I’ll leave you in peace,” muttered Kyungsoo, shooting Jongin a small smile before backing cautiously out of the room, lest Sehun would burst back inside and frighten him.

Relaxing into the comfort of the soft pillows – courtesy of Sehun’s tender loving care – Jongin sighed, because although being babied by Sehun was kinda nice, being bedridden wasn’t so great. At all.

“Wanna play some video games?” Chanyeol asked with a eye-twitching grin, as he poked his head into the doorway, his mop of messy orange curls the most dominant feature that Jongin saw – other than his smile.

“I’d love to…but Sehun would probably kill me if a moved even an inch from this bed,” he lamented, looking up at his friend with a dry smile. “And I happen to value my life…”

“Wow…that ,” agreed Chanyeol, tall frame leaning against the doorway, as he surveyed his pitiful friend. “But what if you have to use the bathroom?”

“Yeah…thankfully I haven’t had to go yet,” He replied with a chuckle. “Even so…it’d be a huge risk.”

“Move it, poodle!” hissed Sehun, whacking the poor giant with one hand, as the other carried a bowl of steaming soup. “You’re in the way.”

With a kicked-puppy expression on his face, Chanyeol shot one last ‘I’ll pray for you, mate’ look to Jongin, before he hurriedly left – no doubt to join the others in the lounge room for a video game tournament. They’d all been granted a couple of days off since his back injury, and being typical males, they were making the most of it in the best way they knew how.

“Sehun…don’t you think that you’re being a little over-bearing,” Jongin questioned timidly, wincing as Sehun started before gazing at him in hurt astonishment.

“I-I’m just trying to help,” he murmured, setting the bowl down on the bedside table carefully, before straightening up and refusing to look him in the eye. “But…I’ll leave now, if you want me to.”

Feeling guilty as he saw pain quickly flash across Sehun’s face, Jongin sighed, before patting the space on the bed next to him, indicating for him to join him.

“I don’t want you to leave…I never want you to leave,” he whispered softly, as he reached up and tenderly ran his fingers through Sehun’s silky locks as the latter sat down on the bed. “But I do want you to feed me.”

Raising his eyebrows in surprise at his rather hilarious and quite outrageous request, Sehun picked up the bowl of soup and the spoon next to it, before actually considering what he was about to do.

“Ahhh,” grinned Jongin, opening his mouth wide – much to Sehun’s amusement.

Rolling his eyes, Sehun scooped up some of the soup, before leaning forward and putting the spoon into his mouth, giggling as some liquid dribbled out of Jongin’s mouth, trickling down his chin.

“Baby,” snickered Sehun, continuing to spoon-feed his friend.

“Nah, you’re just terrible at feeding me,” retorted Jongin with a careless smile, before grunting as Sehun nearly poked his eye out with the handle of the spoon.

It was nearly ten minutes later when Sehun had finished spooning the soup into Jongin’s mouth, however, the majority of the broth had ended up being soaked into Jongin’s shirt than actually in his mouth – which had naturally caused many laughs by both males.

“Do you want anything else?” Sehun asked, rising to his feet as he collected the discarded bowl and spoon, before heading to the door.

“Ice-cream?” Jongin replied with a hopeful smile, looking up at him pleadingly.

“You are such a dope,” Sehun said with a fond smile, before spontaneously leaning down and planting a gentle kiss on Jongin’s forehead. “I’ll be back soon.”

Staring after him in delighted surprise, Jongin’s eyes hungrily roamed over Sehun’s retreating back, enjoying the gentle sway of his slim hips and nicely formed bottom. And after a moment, he decided that he really liked Nurse Sehun.
