Two days later Shock flew into my room when he woke and found that it was already 7:30am but as he opened the door and called out he received no reply. Rolling his eye he flew over and hovered over the bed, staring down at me. Right now I was buried under my blankets and when I heard Shock telling me to wake up I groaned and stayed hidden.
"Come on you can't stay there forever." Shock said as he flew closer and finding himself being ignored he sighed and reaching down he grabbed one of the blankets and tugged it from me. "You have..." The moment he saw me he let go of the blanket and his eye went wide as I sniffed. "School." He finally finished as I sat up rubbing at my watery eyes and when I coughed he frowned. "You look pretty awful. Are you feeling alright?" He asked me and I frowned, tempted to throw my pillow at him but then I sneezed and instead I glared.
"I feel horrible." I replied wanting to bury myself under my blankets and stay there and I think Shock figured that out to when he sighed again. "But I'll get up now." I coughed as I went to stand up which I soon discovered was a really bad idea when the room spun and only Shock prevented me from falling to the floor. "Ohhh...shouldn't have done that." I groaned as Shock gently pushed me back onto the bed. Giving up on standing I lay back as Shock scratched his chin. Or the Ultralink equivalant of it anyway.
"Just stay put, okay? You should rest." He suggested as I curled into a ball, coughing and he stared at me for a few seconds before he left the room. Thinking he;d left me to get some sleep I pulled the blanket that was half on the floor and wrapped myself in it, eyes slowly closing. I'm not sure where Shock went but the next thing I knew was someone gently stroking my forehead and as I lay there, eyes still shut tight I heard a familiar voice.
"Poor girl. When did she start feeling sick?" The voice asked and without seeing the face I knew it was Berto as he was the only one that would stroke my forehead when I was sick or upset. "Since this morning? Hmmm...wonder how she got the flu." Berto said as I felt him sit beside me and when I finally opened my eyes he gave me a smile. "Hey there. How do you feel?" He asked and as I struggled to sit up I rubbed my throat and he frowned seeing how pale I was and the fact that I was coughing. "How do you feel?" He asked me and I managed to raise an eyebrow before I sneezed.
"How...do you...think?" I whispered my throat hurting and he sighed before he reached across and set his palm on my forehead. Confused I sat there until he blinked before he removed his hand as I coughed. "My head hurts." I whimpered and glancing at Shock for a moment Berto told me to rest. Having pretty much already decided to do just that I lay back and soon fell asleep as he ran a hand through my hair.
"Maybe I should stay here. She seems pretty sick." Berto offered as he reached across and ran a hand slowly through my hair.
"Are you sure you can?" Shock asked as Berto looked down at me. "Won't Commander Forge wonder where you went?"
"Maybe. But Jessie has a fever and I really don't want to just leave her here. I'll call and tell Forge that she's really sick." He replied before he stood and walked towards the living room, taking his phone out of his jacket pocket as he did. While Shock waited he looked at his best friend and tried not to chuckle as I now had pretty much vanished underneath all of my blankets. Occasionally he heard me cough and that made him grin despite feeling sorry for me and pretty soon Berto returned a grin on his face. "Forge said that's fine. His exact words were 'look after her, Berto'." He told Shock who grinned back at him. So for the next few hours Berto and Shock took care of me and when I woke up my head burning up from a fever Berto gently ran a cloth over my forehead as I whimpered and soon I began to doze. This went on for a long time and the next time I began to whimper Berto gently stroked my forehead and he smiled when he found that I was no longer sweating from my earlier fever. But then he frowned slightly, confused about why I was still whimpering until Shock scanned me for a moment and as he checked my vitals they both heard me mutter something.
"Freezing..." I whimpered still feeling ill and Berto stroked my forehead as he wondered what to do. Leaving the room for a few minutes Berto went in search of any blankets left in the apartment as Shock watched over me, wondering just how they could help. And just as Berto returned, having been unable to find anything he noticed the smile on Shock face and he raised an eyebrow.
"I have an idea that might help Jessie." Shock told him and Berto finally grinned only to blink in surprise at the Ultralink's idea. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's just that...I mean I don't mind but what will Jessie think if she wakes up and finds me...next to her?" He asked and Shock rolled his before pointing out that the two of them had been closer then that. "Yeah okay...but still..." Finally Shock added that he didn't want Berto to try anything while I was sick and Berto frowned at the Ultralink. Eventually he stripped down to his shirt and boxers before he lifted one of the blankets and as I shifted in my sleep he sighed before he slipped into bed beside me. Lying against my side he looked at me for a few seconds as Shock rolled his eye at the scientist.
"Your body heat should help her warm up. But like I already said please don't take advantage of her while she's not well." Shock added and Berto glared at him for a moment before he rested his head against my back, wrapping one hand around my middle. It didn't take long before I snuggled against him and Berto smiled as I sighed in my sleep. Focused on making me feel better Berto stayed by my side and after a few minutes he found himself beginning to doze off before he snapped awake.
"Suppose to stay awake." He muttered to himself and as he did he heard me mumble something and it made him smile.
"Warm...so sleepy." I mumbled before I completely dozed off and pretty soon Berto began to get pretty drowsy himself as he fought to keep himself awake. But after a few more minutes his eyes began to close again and knowing that it was either sleep or sit up and wake me Berto finally chose the best option. Readjusting his grip on me Berto closed his eyes and in less than a minute he was fast asleep. When Shock flew back into the room he found both his sister and her boyfriend snuggled up together and even though he was a little annoyed at Berto for falling asleep he eventually sighed, admitting that we did look pretty cute together. My fever gone I managed to sleep most of the day away and when I finally yawned, opening my eyes to find Shock hovering overhead I gave him a tired smile and as I went to move over I soon found an arm around my waist and that confused me.
"In case you're wondering Berto decided to join you." Shock explained as I stared down at the arm that had somehow snaked around my waist and seeing the confusion on my face he chuckled. "To keep you warm and that;s all. But he must have dozed off at some point." He added as I stared at Berto who was still fast asleep and after almost a minute I yawned and Shock hovered close to my face. "Maybe you should rest a while longer. You're still sick." He told me and I gave him a slight nod before I closed my eyes and just as I was beginning to doze off I snuggled against him and Shock rolled his eye at me. Now sound asleep I slept until late into the next day and it was only Berto sitting up and rubbing his eyes with the palm of his hand that woke me and as I opened my eyes slowly he gave me a tired grin.
"Sorry if I woke you." He told me as I sat up and I yawned and stretched.
"That's alright. Um no offence but why exactly were you sleeping in my bed? I'm a little fuzzy on details." I asked and Berto blushed furiously which made me giggle. "Shock probably already told me but...I can't really remember."
"Uh...well Shock told me the best way to keep you warm and...okay that doesn't sound right." Berto replied as I looked on and after a few seconds I gave him a grin. "I was going to leave the bed but I was so comfortable and I didn't want you to wake up...so I guess I dozed off." He finally admitted and I nodded knowing he was telling the truth.
"That's okay Berto. It was kind of nice having you keeping me warm anyway." I told him and even with his face all red he smiled back as he removed his arm from around my waist. For a long moment Berto sat there and as I watched him he looked at me and I could see a slight smile appear as he eyed me. "You don't...have to leave...if you don't want to." I suddenly said and that surprised both of us as I blushed having just realized what I'd said. But Berto didn't seem to mind and soon he moved closer, the blanket shifting as he sat beside me. Then he leant down and gently kissed me and as I returned the kiss I felt him reach up and run his hand through my hair.
As he did his other arm reached around and wrapped itself around my waist. Very soon our kiss deepened and after hesitating I felt Berto's tongue press against my lips seeking entry and once I opened my mouth wider it slipped in. A let out a groan then as his tongue explored the inside of my mouth and a few seconds later he moved his hand from my head and trailed down before it came to rest an inch above my chest. When his hand slipped further down I gasped into his mouth before my head tilted back as his hand first squeezed my right breast and then slowly began to massage it. As I made a noise in the back of my throat Berto slipped his tongue from my mouth and as he rubbed my breast he leant over and I groaned, eyes closing a little as his tongue licked my neck. Then as his tongue left my neck I sighed and he gave me a brief grin before his face moved towards my chest and I gasped again, head almost lolling back as he cupped my left breast in one hand and as I stared at him he leant down and I groaned as he took my right breast in his mouth.
"Ohhh...feels good...Berto...uhhh..." I moaned as he sucked a little, enjoying the look of pleasure that crossed my face and as he massaged the left breast in one hand he sucked a little harder and that extracted a moan from me. "Keep...going...uhhh." I whimpered and he took his hand off me as he licked and sucked my right breast, harder and harder every few seconds until I shuddered. Then his mouth slipped off my breast and I sighed a smile on my face as my eyes opened. "Wonderful." I sighed and he grinned before he slipped his hand underneath the blankets and as I stared at him, one eyebrow raised I cried out suddenly as his hand found my rear. As his fingers gently brushed between my legs he gauged my reaction, ready to stop if I wanted him too, but as my eyes almost rolled back and I whimpered he smiled. With a chuckle his fingers started to rub me a little more and I began to moan and fidget, loving the feeling of him touch me there and as he caressed me Berto leant over and I moaned a bit louder as he started to suck on my earlobe. "Ohhh...more." I begged and he chuckled as his whole hand caressed me and he tongue my ear until I couldn't stand it and I grabbed the back of his head, my face flushed but my eyes bright.
"Do you feel better?" He asked with a grin and I answered by shoving his face towards mine kissing him passionately until we were both gasping for air. "I think you do." Then he leant forward and as I felt his warm breath on my neck which made me tremble he whispered to me a suggestion. "Want me to make you feel even better?" He asked and I hurriedly nodded my head not wanting him to stop pleasuring me and he gave me a smile. "So you want to have sex together?" He asked me and I nodded again as I gasped, his hand touching me underneath the sheets again and when I moaned he chuckled.
"So turned on...please don't make me...uhhh." I groaned as Berto removed his hand from my rear and leaning over he began to suck on my neck. Giving in to him fully I moaned as he sucked on my neck and stroked his hand across my chest, cupping each breast in turn until I wanted him so badly I pressed myself against his shoulder.
"You're so beautiful you know that?" He told me as he nuzzled my neck and my head tilted back as he kissed my throat. "Then I'll make love to you nice and slow." He said as he moved until he was behind me and wrapping an arm around my waist he kissed my neck again, his tongue licking my throat. I shifted my legs on the bed and I heard him chuckle before he pushed into me and I moaned. "This will make you feel a lot better." He whispered into my ear and the moment his hips moved my head lolled back and I gripped the blanket as he started to make love to me. In seconds he gripped my butt in both hands as he slowly moved inside me and as I moaned he kissed my neck, taking his time and I began to shudder as he thrust into me. As we made love he reached around my waist and cupping my breasts in his hands he started to sped up and when I moaned I heard him chuckle before he nipped my neck and as I cried out from the sudden pain his mouth clamped over the bite. When he began to suck on the mark he'd left I gasped, my hips bucking as he massaged my breasts while he thrust faster. I wanted him so much that I leaned back and pressed my back against his chest and seeing the pleasure on my face he made love to me harder and harder until we were both gasping.
All at once I felt myself getting close to my climax and Berto seemed to be able to sense it as well because he lifted me slighty and as he thrust into me, holding me around my waist while he bucked into me, I let out an almighty cry before my body convulsed. As I gasped from my climax Berto grinned before he too began to convulse and he was soon joining me as he let out a yell. Slumping onto the bed I lay on my side gasping as Berto rested his head against my hip, groaning from exhaustion and as we rested together I couldn't help the silly grin on my face. After a few minutes Berto sat up and leant over gently kissing my cheek before he lay beside me, one arm wrapping around my waist before he snuggled against me. Soon we both began to yawn and still healing from my illness I found myself fighting the urge to sleep.
"We should probably rest." Berto whispered and as he heard me sigh he smiled before his eyes slowly closed. By the time we woke up it was late into the day and as I sat up slowly I noticed that Berto was curled up and still sound asleep. Noting how cute he looked I reached over and ran my fingers through his hair and he didn't stir other than make a noise in the back of his throat. Smiling I rose from the bed and walked towards the bathroom only to run into Shock who had his arms crossed against his chest. Staring at me in silence I began to feel uncomfortable before he sighed and finally spoke.
"Look I know what you two got up to earlier and even though I am a little annoyed that he did that when you weren't well...I can let it go. Seeing as you look a lot better." He told me and I blushed before hurriedly making my way towards the shower and he rolled his eye at my retreating back. "Teenagers." He commented before he flew into the bedroom and glared down at Berto's sleeping form. Oblivious Berto slept on.
