25.) Cold*

Shivering, Jim tried to ignore how cold he felt so he could focus on the essay he was supposed to be writing. It really didn't help that his head was throbbing and his vision kept blurring.

He didn't notice the cadet sitting next to him scowl when he coughed, he did notice the hypo that was jabbed into his neck as well as how breathing was suddenly more difficult. Jim thought he heard Bones yelling and vaguely wanted to tell the man he wasn't suppose to do that in the library when everything went black.

Waking up, the first thing that Jim noticed was that he was in his bed. The second thing he noticed was that he no longer felt cold, instead he was pleasantly warm.

"Don't move kid, you're not going anywhere. I'm gonna give you something so you can sleep off the rest of your cold. When I get back from lecturing the idiot that tried to kill you, you damn well better be sleeping." Jim merely smiled, not even feeling the hypo.
