Sick Day
Duo flopped down on the couch beside his boyfriend, a bowl of soup in his hands. Right in front of Heero was a dinner tray, where Duo set the bowl down. Heero's response was to sink further into the couch cushions and wrap the blanket just a little tighter around him.
"I made you soup," Duo said, as he snuggled against Heero. "You should eat. It'll make you feel better." He moved the blanket so it was around both of them, and he rested his head against the crook of Heero's neck.
"You're gonna get sick if you stay this close," Heero warned, as he turned his head to side to cough.
"So what am I supposed to do?" Duo asked. "Have you sleep on the couch until you beat this thing?" He nuzzled Heero's neck.
"You're enjoying this too much."
Duo traced patterns onto the knee of Heero's lounge pants with his fingertip.
"It's not everyday you get to see Heero Yuy laid up on the couch with some sort of sickness." He spotted their pet cat. "Right, Solo?"
Solo meowed from his spot on the bookcase. He jumped from the bookcase to the floor, where he made his way over. Duo patted Heero's knee and Solo leapt onto it, cocking his head at his owners before rubbing against Heero's stomach. Heero scritched him behind the ear.
"See? Solo wants you better too. Don'tcha, buddy?"
Solo meowed at him.
"At least I can't say I'm ever lonely," Heero mused as Solo made himself comfortable on his lap.
"Damn skippy you're never lonely, between me and Solo and Leo and Gemini." He handed Heero a spoon. "Now eat. Maybe you won't feel so cold."
Duo wouldn't leave Heero's side until he finished the whole bowl of soup.
