I figured it was time that I did a shonen-ai story. Hope you enjoy it! It's a one shot, like nearly everything I do these days…((sighs and kicks 002)) My apologies if it's a little OOC. But it won't be anywhere near what My Toast and I and Perfect Blackmail were.

Cough Syrup

Only chapter of my first attempt at shonen-ai! (004 and 002.)

&-&-&-&-

"Let's try this one more time," 004 said, pouring a sticky, semitransparent liquid into a spoon. He shoved it through a pair of stubbornly shut lips. There was silence for a few seconds, then….

FFFFFFTTBBBBBBTTT!

The red liquid was spewed back onto 004 as 002 coughed it back out. 004 blinked angrily and wiped it off his face.

"JET LINK! You have to swallow the syrup if you'd like to get better any time soon!" 004 exclaimed. 002 turned to face away and shrugged.

"I don't have to take it," He said. "'Cause I'm not s…" A cough welled in his chest. "I'm not sick."

004 rolled his eyes. 002 coughed again, and again, and yet again. His voice had been hoarse since yesterday and he had been running a fever. 003 had kindly offered him to take the syrup, and he had refused. So 003 gave the task to 004 of finding a way of getting 002 to take it.

"Look, Jet. The professor isn't going to let you go out until you get better. Why not just make it easy on everyone and just take this stuff?" 004 asked.

"Oh, please. I can just go to sleep and get better!" 002 shot back. 004 loaded the spoon and got ready for 002's next comeback.

"And I suppose that as you sleep, your fever is going to go down some?" 004 taunted. "Just remember last night, when poor 009 had to stay awake and try and snap you out of nightmares?"

"That's because…" 002 began, right before the spoon was shoved in his mouth. 002 slammed his jaw shut and 004 pulled the spoon back out. Right before 002 had the chance to even think about shooting the vile liquid out again, 004 clamped a hand over his mouth. 002 tried to protest by punching with his little effort and trying to scream for help, but with no avail.

After much protest from the American cyborg, he swallowed. He shot 004 an angry and betrayed look. 004 smiled, moved his hand, and leaned in to kiss 002. 002 strangely didn't pull away. He accepted and returned the kiss.

"Any better?" 004 asked. 002 nodded in reply. "I hope you plan on returning that favor, since whatever you have I'm bound to get after that."

"Sorry, Albert," 002 said. 004 picked up the bottle and spoon and prepared to leave 002 sleep. "Promise you won't be mean when I try to help you?"

"Very funny, Jet…"

Blah! It wasn't so terrible, was it? Flame or review!
