"Ky—Kyle, I'm fine." Bobby said wrapped in a lumpy cocoon of blankets, "Just leave the tea right there and I'll get to it."
Kyle was sitting next to Bobby, his legs crossed and a worried expression fixed on his face, "Bobby, I really think this'll help you should drink it now. My mom used to give it to me all the time here—"
"Really, I'm fine. Let's just watch television. I'll be fine soon."
Kyle placed the back of his hand to Bobby's forehead, "Oh no, you're burning up. Maybe tea isn't such a good idea. I'll go get you some ice."
"Ky, really, I'm—" Bobby was waving for Kyle to get back into bed but before he knew it he'd already slipped out of the room.
When he came back Kyle had a put some ice cubes into a towel. He climbed back into bed and placed it on Bobby's forehead. Kyle lowered himself into the bed and lay next to Bobby, one hand on his chest.
"Thanks, but you really don't have to make a fuss," Bobby said, wiggling to lay face-to-face with Kyle, "It's not like I'm dying or anything. It's just a bad cold."
Kyle's phone buzzed, "I just want to make sure you're okay, that's all." He reached down into his pocket and pulled it out:
Jimmy: Hey where are you?
"Shit," he muttered, "I should really get down to the theatre." As he got up, he looked at Bobby's messy hair, his unusual pallor, and how red his nose was. He paused. "You know what," he said, "I think I'm going to call in sick and spend sometime with my lovely diseased boyfriend."
Kyle turned his phone off, drop it on the nightstand and crawled back into bed with Bobby. "Well, aren't you going to put up a fight?" Kyle asked.
"Why wouldn't I want to spend time with you?" Bobby asked, smiling.
"You're so cute when you smile," Kyle mumbled.
"How would you like to see more of that?" Bobby inquired, slyly.
"What?"
"I think you should move in, Ky."
A smile spread across Kyle's face and his eyes brightened, "Really? Of course, yes! Of course I will!" Kyle smashed his and Bobby's lips together.
"Whoa, slow down there, Romeo. You're going to get sick."
"Who cares? Then I'll just be able to spend more time with you."
