I would like to first and formost apologize for not posting anything in like....two months.  My classes and schedule have been awful, but I'm trying to post things more often (as I have many more story and drabble ideas)!

I would also like to apologize that this isnt terribly long! I just wanted to get something out to let everyone know I'm still alive.

Thank you!! As always, your comments etc are appreciated!

Mark was sick.

Mark was very sick, and his boyfriend had no idea what to do.

Mark sat on his knees, hunched over the toilet bowl, gripping the sides of the porcelain appliance.  Jackson crouched down beside him, rubbing his back in circles; whispering words of praise.

Mark’s entire body shook and heaved with every cough and hack, and his body jolted forward when he spat the acidic fluid into the bowl.  After what seemed like an eternity, Mark sat back on his heels, relieved to be finished with flushing out his insides.  He slumped sideways into Jackson, pressing his head to the other boy’s chest.

Jackson’s hand found his way to Mark’s sweaty hair, and combed it out of his face with his fingers, with his other hand he wrapped his arm around the thinner boy’s shoulder, pulling him closer to him.

“Do you wanna clean up?”

Mark nodded slowly, even the slight movement seemed to rattle his entire head.  He squeezed his eyes shut, letting out a low groan.  Jackson pressed a kiss to Mark’s shoulder, helping the disheveled boy to his feet and to the sink.  Mark the faucet and washed his shaking hands; Jackson hugging him around his waist behind him.  He uncapped the mouthwash and swished it around his mouth before spitting it in the sink.  

Mark nodded before turning off the light to the bathroom and trudging to his bedroom with Jackson padding along behind him.  He took off his dirtied t shirt, tossing it to the ground and slid into the bed, patting the empty space next to him as Jackson waited in the door frame.

“I’m gonna freeze if you don’t hurry up.” Mark mumbled, pulling the covers over his head.  Jackson obeyed, climbing in next to his boyfriend and wrapping his arms protectively around him.
