Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men:First Class, if I did, Beast and Havok would've been paired together. On with the story!
Alex Summers groaned softly as sun streamed in through the blinds, blinking a few times before he coughed, wincing at the small ache in his throat.
'Probably just from smoking with Sean yesterday,'he thought with a small sigh, grudgingly rising to his feet as he pushed himself from the bed, swaying ever so slightly before he got dressed in some jeans and a t-shirt.
Heading down into the kitchen, Alex gave a simple nod to Erik, Charles, Raven, and Sean, wondering where Hank was. The small teen shrugged and shook his head at Sean's offer of pancakes, simply sipping his juice slowly. He sat sluggishly at the table and sighed.
"Alex? Are you feeling alright?"Charles asked gently in concern for the male, looking up when Hank entered the room, his blue fur still a little damp from an obvious shower. "Hank, do you mind looking over Alex after breakfast? He's looking a bit ill,"Charles said to the scientist as Alex tried covering a bought of coughs.
"I'm fine you guys. I don't wanna waste Bozo's time,"the blonde croaked, rubbing his temples miserably as a slight tightness ached in his chest. He had asthma his whole life and he'd never really had any trouble with it, though he guessed that smoking with Sean the night before might not have been his most brilliant idea.
"This isn't up for a discussion, Alex. Your health comes first,"Charles said sternly, giving the blonde a firm look until he gave in.
"Fine, I'll get looked at. But I'm perfectly healthy,"Alex grumbled as he followed Hank down to the lab, sitting on one of the exam tables with a shiver.
"How are you feeling, and please don't lie to me,"Hank said gently, brushing his hand over Alex's sweaty forehead. They'd been secretly dating for a week or so, so it was no wonder why Hank was rather upset that Alex hadn't confided in him that he wasn't feeling well.
"Horrible. My chest aches, my head hurts, I have a sore throat and I just wanna go back to sleep,"the blonde admitted with a small whimper, settling his cheek on Hank's shoulder when he was pulled into a hug.
"Okay, shhhhhh, it's probably the flu. I'll take a blood sample and give you some acetaminophen and you can lay down in my bed. Has your asthma been acting up? I kinda wanna give you a breathing treatment as well,"Hank murmured, mostly to himself as he went around gathering the supplies before he took the blood and gently led Alex to the cot in the corner, having him lay down.
Alex swallowed the medicine with a little difficulty before he let Hank slip the mask of the nebulizer over his nose and mouth, closing his eyes as the machine was flipped on, deciding to get a good nap in while he took the medicine.
Hank sighed and sat down next to Alex when he was done starting the test on the blood, cuddling him from behind as he watched the male sleep, waiting for the results of the test.
