Illness and Worry

Six gently knocked on the dorm that Rex and Noah shared. Noah opened the door, "He's still in bed. I don't think he knows you're coming." "Did you take him to Bowlin," Six asked taking of his usual green jacket, wondering if his boyfriend went to the college outpatient health suite. "No a nurse came over since he was too weak to move." It was then that Rex spoke, "Noah save the unicorns they need to go rescue mama monster."

Noah let out a small chuckle, "He's been like that all day. The nurse said that that's all due to his fever that's started to break. Make sure he takes Tylenol every four hours till his fever breaks. If by tomorrow it doesn't then call the Nurse again." Noah moved around his room packing his bag; he had to leave for an internship interview and would be gone the whole weekend.

"His fever should break tonight thought, just keep pushing Gatorade on him," Noah said. "Just call me if you need anything. I'll get back to you as soon as I can." He looked back to Rex, "Feel better ok." "Noah go save them," Rex said his voice horse, but soon he feel back asleep. "I will buddy. I will," Noah then turned to Six, "Good luck." "Thanks," with that Noah left and Six was left to look after his sick boyfriend.

Six moved to change the wet towel over Rex's forehead. The afternoon had passes with Rex sleeping through most of it as Six worked on homework. It was then that Rex began to cry. "What hurts," Six's voice sounded pained. "Nothing. I'm scared," Rex confessed. "Why?" Rex's head shook back and forth, "What if Six disappears. I don't want to know, but it's so scary. Don't tell Six, I don't want him to worry even more." Six smiled down at his lover. Rex's face was no longer as flushed as before, but his temperature was still worrying Six.

"Ok, I wont' tell him, but I'll tell you something," Six whispered close to Rex's ear. As Rex's eyes began to close again, "Six would never leave you he loves you so much."

As night began to set Six was worried. Rex began to shiver and shake as his body poured sweat. Six held him for the rest of the night trying to get Rex to drink Gatorade once in a while. When it was finally over Six sighed in relief. Rex was sound asleep and his temperature had returned to normal.

(LINE BREAK)

Early the next morning Rex was fully aware of his surroundings. "Can you help me into the shower," he said as he sat up slowly. Six was there in seconds supporting Rex as he moved his feet to the floor. "Are you sure you should be moving," Six said. "I just need a shower and change my sheets," Rex said trying and not succeeding in trying to remove his shirt. Six sighed knowing how stubborn Rex would be.

He got up and prepared the shower, and helped to get Rex undressed. Rex leaned against Six as the two entered the shower. Six ran a cold shower to help further cool Rex's body. He gently washed his younger lover's body giving support to the still weak Rex. "Just hold on to me. It's almost over," Six said over the rushing of the water.

When it was over, Six then moved in front of Rex and began to dry Rex's body. He gently patted down Rex and got him into a pair of cotton boxers. Six moved Rex to sit at his desk as Six moved to change Rex's sheets. When Rex moved to the bed he loved the feel of the dry sheets against his skin. Six moved to put on a pair of boxers that he knew Rex had stolen from him. When he found them he made his way back over to Rex. "I'm still cold," Rex muttered smiling slowly to Six. Six got into bed and just held Rex.

Rex didn't make a full recovery till a two more days later. But Six stayed by Rex the whole time, and even defended Rex when Noah made fun of his hallucinatory statements.
