Kyuhyun lay down on the soft sheets as Zhoumi comforted him.

"Does your stomach hurt Kyu?"

The younger boy shook his head, and then winced.

"Does your head hurt?"

When Kyuhyun nodded, Zhoumi carefully sat him up, supporting him against his chest as he handed him some painkillers. 

"Take these, and then you'll feel a bit better."

 

After swallowing the pills, Kyu leaned back against Zhoumi. "You don't have to stay with me all day. I'll be fine, I'm just a little tired."

"Should I leave you to sleep?"

Kyu looked down at the blankets, not wanting to answer truthfully and bother his boyfriend. Not wanting to force him into spending the night lying next to Kyu.

"Do you want me to sleep with you Kyu?"

The boy nodded gratefully, with tired eyes. "If that's okay.."

"It's perfectly okay, I'll be back in a second."

 

Returning in his pajamas, Zhoumi slid under the sheets next to Kyu, who immediately clung to him like a liferaft. "Try and sleep a little, you'll feel better after you've had some rest."

He the younger boy's hair. "Did you sleep at all last night?"

Kyu shook his head. "I kept vomiting.."

Looking nervously at Zhoumi, he waited for his reaction.

"Aw poor you. You should have come to me, I would have looked after you."

"Aren't you worried about catching the illness too Mi?"

The boy shook his head. "No, I don't mind if I get it. I want to look after you."

 

Cuddling close together, Kyuhyun closed his eyes and nuzzled into Zhoumi's chest. The taller boy was warm and soft, and his arms encased Kyu completely, making him feel loved.

He was awoken by the clenching feeling in his stomach and he quickly ran to the bathroom, choking and retching into the toilet.

As he vomited, he felt a warm hand on his back, rubbing gently and patting. Feeling a blush creep onto his cheeks, he vomited again in shame. Zhoumi shouldn't have to see this.

"Just relax Kyu, it's okay."

When the boy was finished, Zhoumi handed him a blanket and a glass of water. Wiping his mouth softly with a tissue, Mi smiled at his boyfriend.

"Do you feel a little better now?"

"A little bit. Sorry you saw that.."

"Don't be sorry. I'm glad that I could be here for you." He wrapped the blanket closer around the shaking shoulders, and hugged him tightly. "Do you want to go back to bed?"

 

When they were both lying in the bed again, Zhoumi pressed a kiss to Kyu's forehead, trying to soothe him to sleep. The boy hugged into him tighter, feeling grateful for every second that they could spend together.

 

The next day, Kyuhyun woke up alone, his arms empty. He was about to get up and look for his boyfriend when the door opened to reveal Mi with a tray of breakfast. 

"Do you feel ready to eat, Kyuhyun?" He gestured to the tray.

There were many breakfast items on the tray, eggs, toast, a full cooked breakfast, ramen, three different types of juice, tea and coffee.

Zhoumi laughed lightly at Kyu's stares.

"Ryeowook is worried that you aren't getting enough to eat. He says that you should be eating lots to keep up your strength."

Before Kyu could respond, the boy came through the door, holding a large bowl.

"You forgot the soup, Zhoumi. Are you feeling better Kyu?" He pressed a thin hand to the boy's forehead, testing his temperature. When he felt the heat, he pressed a cool towel to Kyuhyun's sweaty hair, and his cheek.

 

"Get well soon Kyu, if you need anything then just ask." The younger boy kissed his cheek, before hugging Zhoumi tightly and handing him the soup. 

Once the younger boy had left the room, Zhoumi took a spoon and started to feed Kyu some of the soup.

"Wook was so worried when I told him that you were ill" he said in a soft voice. "I've never seen anyone cook so fast."

Together, they ate the food, smiling happily at each other. Kyuhyun never lifted a finger, despite his protests.

"No, Kyu. Let me feed you, I don't mind doing it."

"You just want to play nurse.."

The taller boy laughed in response.

 

When all of the food and drink was gone, Zhoumi carried it through to a delighted Wook, and then lay back in bed with Kyu.

"Zhoumi?"

"Yes?"

"Are you okay with spending your day off looking after me?"

"Of course I am, I love you Kyu."

"I love you too."

 

Hugging into the older boy and pressing soft kisses to his chest, Kyu gently cared for his boyfriend. Because whilst Kyu was sick with a fever, Zhoumi was sick in love.
