Kyle Braxton: One-Shot Series Chapter 38 - Stepping into Part 1, a home & away fanfic

Hello everyone, I have a few notes before we get to the next fanfic which is a two parter:

- First off, I have to say I'm so sorry that it's taken so long since I updated this fanfic, I was focusing on trying to get as much of Wedding Explosion done as possible.

- Secondly, work got really busy with new clients, attending networking events and finishing all my massive projects for the training side of my apprenticeship, which I'm happy to say I passed with the highest mark possible. I've also started a new job as well.

- Thirdly, my MacBook which housed my notes for the fanfics and my external hard drive (which I use when I need to look back at certain episodes) was only programmed for my mac and not my work laptop (which is a windows) weren't accessible as my MacBook finally give up and stopped working but thankfully, I have a new one now meaning I can back to writing.

- Finally, I had a lot of personal stuff happen, my grandad had a heart attack (thankfully he's all better now) and I sadly lost my 21-year-old Bengal cat (I was 4 when I got him as it was 3 months before my 5th bday and I'm currently 25) which I'm not over still and don't think I will be ever.

Now that's out of the way here's the next chapter.

Idea by Suzza101 (BacktotheBay):Could you please do a one shot where Kyle gets the flu while Bianca and Ricky are away and the boys are the ones that look after him.

Chapter 38 – Stepping into the Girls' Shoes Part 1

(8:32am)

Summer Bay – Braxton House – Driveway

"Drive carefully." Brax and Heath both said to their other halves as they drove out of the driveway.

"Whose idea was the spa anyway?" Heath asked his brother as they watched the car leave the street.

"I think it was Ricky's as she mentioned that one of her clients suggested it during a photoshoot and they currently had some sort of deal on." Brax told him as they headed back into the house.

(8:39am) 7 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Braxton House – Living Room

Re-entering the house, both brothers sat down on the couch, just as Kyle walked into the room.

"Morning Kylie." Heath laughed.

"Morning." Kyle says which is followed by a sneeze.

Brax and Heath quickly look at him with worry.

"Chill guys, it was just a sneeze." Kyle laughed "Probably just my hay fever playing up."

"It better be, I don't think we are prepared to deal with you if you're ill." Brax joked.

"I'm not that bad." Kyle said as he walked into the kitchen to make breakfast.

"Not that bad? Seriously?" Heath said in shock "Last time you were ill, you ended up in the hospital due to dehydration."

Walking back into the room with a bowl of cereal and sitting down in the armchair, Kyle pointed out: "It was only that one time and none of you have let me live it down since."

"Because you looked like death warmed up." Casey reminded him as he walked in from the garden.

"Jesu, where did you come from?" Brax said nearly having a heart attack.

"Outside, I met up with Romeo for a surf before he headed to a conference in the city." Casey said as he sat on the dining table.

"That's not fair." Heath sighed.

"What isn't?" Casey asked

"You get to go surfing while me and Brax have to stay and say goodbye to the girls." Heath replied, "Come on Brax, get sorted, while Case goes to work, we can go for a surf."

"I can't, I'm working in the restaurant today to cover Abby's shift." Brax said, "And before you say it, no Kyle is not covering for me either as he is also rostered on today."

"I wasn't going to, considering he's always working."

"What else do you want me to do Heath?" Kyle said as he sneezed again.

"Have some fun because all work and no play makes Kyle one sad boy." Heath laughed just as his phone rang.

With that Heath decided to answer the call in the flat, leaving the other three to talk.

(12:29pm) 3 hours and 50 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Angelos – Inside – Bar

Brax and Kyle were halfway through the lunch rush and in the last hour Kyle's sneezing had turned into coughing and a stuffy nose.

"Mate, go home." Brax said as he approached the bar with some empty glasses.

"No, we are already one person down. Plus, we are in the middle of the lunch rush." Kyle pointed out "Besides this is just my hay fever acting up."

"Go home, that's an order." Brax demanded.

Sighing, Kyle put down the pen he was using to write a reservation in the book, then grabbed his bag and left without complaint.

Watching Kyle sluggishly walk out the restaurant, Brax took his phone out of his pocket and sent a quick text to Heath to check on Kyle if he gets home before he did.

(1:07pm) 38 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Braxton House – Living Room

Walking through the front door and throwing his bag on to the chair, Kyle went and sat down on the sofa.

Just as he starts to close his eyes, he hears voices coming from the back door.

"What are you doing home?" Casey asks as he places two plates beside the sink.

Opening his eyes, Kyle replies: "Brax sent me home early. Aren't you meant to be at work?"

"I was this morning; I was only on a half day." Casey replies just as Tamara appears.

"Oh, don't you have a shift at the restaurant?" Tamara asks.

"I was just saying to Casey that Brax sent me home." Kyle replies "My constant sneezing turned into a cough and running nose."

"Oh no!" Casey exclaimed which earned him a slap from his girlfriend "What was that for?"

"Your brother is coming down with a cold and you say that." Tamara replies.

"Last time he ended up in hospital." Casey reminded her.

Standing up and grabbing his bag, Kyle quickly says: "Yeah and I don't plan on doing that again. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get changed."

With that Kyle heads to his bedroom where he also plans to have some much-needed sleep.

(3:03pm) 1 hour and 56 minutes later…

Summer Bay – Braxton House – Kyle's Bedroom

Unbeknown to Kyle, Heath had just entered his bedroom to check on him.

Seeing that his brother was fast asleep, he slowly backed out of the room closing the door behind him.
