Kurt and Blaine were curled up in Blaine's bed, each reading different textbooks for homework, Blaine with biology and Kurt with history. "Ughh," Blaine groaned.
"What's up?" Kurt asked.
"I've had this headache all day and it's getting worse," Blaine said, rubbing his eyes.
"Do you want to take something for it?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah, can you grab my water from my backpack and the Advil out of the drawer in the bedside table?" Blaine asked. Kurt obliged and Blaine took the pills. They were soon back to their homework. About five minutes later, Kurt went to ask Blaine a question, but found him sleeping with his face in his textbook. Kurt giggled and went to smooth his curls from his eyes. He found Blaine to be suspiciously warm. He gently shook Blaine awake. "Mmphwhat?" Blaine mumbled, rubbing his eyes.
"You fell asleep. Are you feeling okay?" Kurt asked, peeling the book out from under Blaine.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?" Blaine asked with a rather dazed expression. There was something lackluster in his eyes.
"Because I think you have a fever," Kurt said. Blaine didn't bother to argue. He slumped down onto his pillow and groaned. "Yeah, that's what I thought. Get comfortable, I'll be right back," Kurt said, leaving Blaine in his bed. Kurt came back two minutes later with a cool, wet washcloth to find Blaine already half asleep with the blankets pulled up to his shoulders. "Have you been feeling crappy all day?" Kurt asked, gently dabbing at Blaine's face and neck with the cloth.
"It started with the headache but it only got worse as the day went on. Now I'm just really cold but hot at the same time," Blaine said. Kurt nodded. "Mmm that feels nice," Blaine said a few minutes later. He had since relaxed and was drifting in and out of sleep.
"Shh, go to sleep," Kurt said, pecking Blaine on the forehead. Kurt watched his boyfriend's feverish eyes close and drift off into a peaceful slumber.
