Rating: rated T

Genre: Romance, General, Humor

Pairing: Horus/Carter

Author Note: Hey guys! After a particular review from my "Love You" story. I've been trying to grasp an idea for another Horus/Carter story and Maiuayame, the person I was speaking with, gave me this possible story idea of a sick Carter and Horus taking care of him. I had an idea and it involved into this. I hope you (Maiuayame) and the rest of my readers enjoy this! Leave a review on the way out. Thanks!

Author Note...part 2: Also, if you have any possible Horus/Carter story ideas and wanna see if any inspiration hits me for it, send it in a review. Oh and be warned, I only do one-shots.

Disclaimer: I do not own "The Kane Chronicles". Rick Riordan does, and he's a brilliant man for it!

"Fuckkkkk."

"Hey now, no need to say that," chuckled an amused voice from beside him. Carter shot a glare up at his boyfriend. It's not fair that he got to stay healthy. Not one bit.

"I hate you."

Horus rolled his eyes. "Don't need to say that either."

"Yes I do," came the grumbled reply. Carter groaned again and rolled further into the warm body beside his. His words came out muffled now when he spoke. "I really hate you."

A large hand calmly rubbed his younger lover's back while the tone of his voice belied his motions. Sounding annoyed, he spoke. "Do you not know how to say anything else?"

Carter wanted to snort, but had a feeling that he would make his headache worse. Instead he grabbed the hand rubbing his back and pulled it closer to him, cuddling it like he did his old stuffed falcon when he was little. "Hate you with a capital 'h'."

"No you don't," replied Horus.

"You don't know that."

Horus raised an eyebrow. "In fact, I do know. Now shut up and sleep."

Carter whimpered, his other hand tugging on Horus' shirt. "It hurts too much and I hate you."

"Did you take your medicine?" listed Horus.

"Yea."

"Did you drink the full glass of water?"

"Yea."

"Did you-"

"Yes, I did it all and it still hurts!" Carter popped his head up from the older man's side, glaring at him. "Stop asking me nonsensical things! Stop telling me to stop saying 'I don't hate you'! Stop it all! I just want to be healthy again! I want this damn headache to stop! This stupid stomach ache to go away! I want to straddle you and ride you like a hurricane, but I can't because my head hurts and-" he hissed between his teeth, flinching back a little. He allowed the hand that cupped his head and was gently massaging his temple with their thumbs. "It just hurts."

"I know baby, I know. C'mon, lay back down." He tucked Carter's head under his chin, easily feeling the heat transfer over from the skin to skin contact. Their legs wrapped around each other. "How about we just take a nap together?"

"Mmm," hummed Carter, eyes fluttering closed. It was quiet for a few moments when Carter spoke up again. "You know what?"

"No, but you're about to tell me?"

Carter chuckled lazily, nuzzling the neck before him. "I hate sick days."

"I know," chuckled Horus. "I know."

"Good.
