Hey guys! This story is gonna be a two-shot so the next chapter will be out soon. Sorry about the sudden ending, I couldn't figure out a different way to do it. Anyways, enjoy!

Maya was sick, but she's not one to admit it. She's always been the more one stubborn of the two.

Riley knew she was sick, and she really wants to help Maya out.

The two friends were watching Red Planet Dairies together like they usually did. The only difference was, Maya kept having to clear her throat and was coughing non-stop.

Riley got up and got some water for her.

Maya accepted it with a grateful smile. They then went back to watching their show. At least, they tried to. Maya cough was getting worse, and Riley couldn't take it anymore.

"I know you're sick, Maya! Please, just let me help you," Riley said with pleading eyes.

Maya looked at her and decided to let her guard down. She leaned into Riley and whispered, "Yeah, I'm sick. I'm sorry, Riles..."

Riley gave her a warm smile. "You don't need to be sorry. All that matters is that we're going to get you better."

Maya was touched by the gesture and smiled once again, which unfortunately triggered another coughing fit.

Riley started rubbing her back in order to ease the cough.

Maya groaned and leaned back into Riley, burying her nose into the crook of her neck.

Riley hugged her and sighed. She hated seeing her best friend like this. After staying like that she a little while longer, Riley pulled back, put the back of her hand to Maya's forehead, then quickly moved it away. It was hot to the touch. "Maya, why didn't you tell me you had a fever?" Riley groaned. Her job had just gotten a bit harder.

"I didn't want you to worry," Maya replied sheepishly.

Riley kissed her on the nose. "Too late. Come on, let's try and help you feel better." Riley then took her hand and pulled her up, then tugged her along to the bathroom where she immediately started looking for the cold medicine. Once she found it, she tossed it at Maya, who luckily knew how to catch. "Take that," Riley urged.

Maya did as she was told and got pulled around by Riley again.

Riley brought Maya back to the couch and told her to sit. She left momentarily, then came back with a wet washcloth.

Maya laid her head on Riley lap so Riley could put the washcloth on her forehead.

Riley smiled and started to mindlessly run her fingers through Maya hair. "Thanks for letting me take care of you," she whispered softly.

Maya reached up and touched Riley's cheek. "I actually like it when you do this," Maya admitted with a crooked smile.

Riley giggled, then asked, "Do you want to try and sleep it off, Maya?"

Maya nodded at and made herself comfortable on Riley's lap. They managed to get to sleep rather quickly, despite Maya's circumstances.
