Sickness

Summary: Happy falls sick and it is up to Juice to take care of him. Set pre 1st season.

The day was not over when Happy who had not been feeling well all day decided to throw in the towel and go back to his room in the clubhouse to lie down. He was not normally one to give in to illness but he had been hot and cold all day and fighting dizzyness, he also had one hell of headache that had started sometime in the middle of the day and now at the end of a particuarly busy day in the garage all he wanted to do was lie down and try and get rid of it. Most of the club were away on a run and the only other club members on the TM lot were Piney and the idiot youngster Juice. He shook his head slightly wondering still how the club had allowed such a little twerp to become a patched member, he grimaced as his throbbing headache increased.

Across the lot Juice looked up from where he was working on his laptop at the picnic table near the boxing ring outside the clubhouse, he was trying to track down some background information on some guy that the club was looking for when he noticed Happy walking back across the lot from the garage, he noticed that Happy seemed to be stumbling a bit as he walked and not for the first time that day he wondered if Hapy was alright. The older man had seemed to be slightly not with it all day. As he got nearer to where Juice was sitting, Juice could see sweat pouring down his face and that Happy looked somewhat pale. Juice called out to him as he passed him on his way into the clubhouse.

"Hey you alright Happy?"

Happy did not answer him as he stumbled past him, not even a growl at him which Juice thought was a bit strange, he didn't know the NOMAD as well as some of the some of his SAMCRO brothers but he had seen him around a few times during his prospecting year and since becoming a full patched member a few months back.

XxX

It a few hours later when Juice finally found all the information he could on one Hernandez Ruiz, he thought it strange that the guys first name was also most peoples surnames but in his case his first. He thought to himself with a grimace that whoever this guys parents were they obviously thought it would be funny to give him two surnames as a name. Weird! As he went to his room he realized that he had not seen or heard Happy since the guy had staggered past him into the clubhouse a few hours earlier and feeling a little guilty he went in search of him.

Happy had been laying on his bed, tossing and turning as his body burned since he had enterd his room. He shivered as he felt another wave of pain hit me as his headache seemed to increase again, tenfold! The thin sheet on his bed was wrapped around his torso, soaking up the sweat that seemed to pour from every pore of his body. He heard a soft knocking at his door and someone calling his name but he was so wrapped up in a world of pain that he was unable to answer the one calling and knocking at his door. He tried to sit up but as he so a wave of dizzyness hit him and he felt himself start to tilt forward, he tried to stop the tilting movement but the little dots of light that were flashing in front of eyes began to increase in their speed and he never felt the impact on the floor as he slipped senselessly to the floor with a thud.

A/N Part two coming soon! This is the first of a series of stories that I am doing looking at the relationship between Happy and Juice. There will be no SLASH in these stories and they are simply looking at the platonic friendship between the two men. Some will be multi chaptered and some will being one off's. Please review and let me know what you think and if there is anything that you would like to see covered in these stories.
