"There," Nicole said with a smile as she laid down an extra blanket for Kyle in his tub and Kyle climbed into. She pulled the covers up over his shoulders. "How's that?"
Kyle looked puzzled for a moment, "It's... I was cold, but now I feel too warm."
"Okay," Nicole pealed back the blanket and felt his forehead. "I think you have a fever."
"My temperature has risen slightly," Kyle informed her, "Normally it remains at 98.6 but right now it has risen several degrees, I believe it's at 100.3" Kyle said, then he looked at Nicole, "Can you read body temperatures too?"
Nicole frowned, "No, I can't. But I can tell when it feels like it's above normal." She explained, "Kyle, not that I don't trust your temperature taking abilities, but I'd like to actually use a thermometer."
"Woah- Kyle's a human thermometer now?" Josh had walked by Kyle's room and poked his head in.
"Kyle's not anything except sick," Nicole told him sternly.
"I know," Josh said stubbornly. "I-"
"Yes?" Nicole asked.
"Nothing..." He slunk away.
Nicole smiled a little bit to herself and to Kyle, "I think he's worried about you, he was coming to check on you."
I couldn't understand why Josh was worried. My temperature was only slightly elevated and I knew my symptoms were classified as mild. I wondered if I should be more worried.
A/N: Sorry- super short but I just wanted to put up something so y'all know I haven't forgotten about this story
