Sick day - Fever

Disclaimer- I don't own Gundam Wing
"Oh pretty! What is your name ma'am?" Heero asked Duo innocently. Wufei was looking on amused as Duo turned beet red.

"Okay this isn't funny." Duo said, causing Wufei to stifle a laugh. "Oh I stand corrected."

"Sorry, but Heero thinks you're a pretty onna, its just rather far fetched and, uh hilarious if you can see my point of view." Wufei smirked.

"Yeah, yeah, just pass me those damn cloths!" Duo grumbled, placing one on Heero's forehead.

"What's that for?" Heero asked referring to the cloth.

"It's a damp cloth, it's to keep you cool because you have a fever." Duo explained to the extremely delirious pilot, attempting to keep his temper. "Fei, Heero acting like a small child is really getting on my nerves."

"Now you know how we feel with the way you act all the time." Wufei quipped, earning himself a glare. "Sorry but you have to seize the opportunities you are given, anyway do you want me to keep doing that while you check the book?"

"Yeah, thanks Wu." Duo smiled slightly as he handed the cloth to Wufei, began to wipe it over Heero's face and neck. He sat cross-legged on the floor and looked at the page the book was marked at, and found what he was looking for. "It just says that he cant have aspirin or penicillin, but that stuff we gave him earlier was fine, and that he needs to keep cool, drink lots of fluids and take a sponge bath.wait a sec, he needs to take a sponge bath?" Duo's eyes widened in horror, "No way are we giving him a sponge bath."

"Yeah, but he cant well do it himself, he can barely stand up properly, and thinks that there are faeries at the bottom of the garden." Wufei sighed frustrated.

"I saw them my self the other day, one was really small, and had blond hair and blue eyes, I think the other faerie said his name was Cat, he had weird hair, it stuck up all funny." Heero told them, messing his hair further to try to show them the uni-bang style, but instead tired him self and flopped back down on to the bed. "I'm tired and hot and I want to sleep!" He groaned.

"You go to sleep then, after you swallow this." Wufei said, holding the spoon of medicine in front of him.

"What is it?" Asked Heero cautiously.

"Its, uh a special potion from the 'Faeries' to make you feel better." Duo tried, Wufei arched his eyebrow but Duo just shrugged.

"Oh okay." Heero took the medicine and grimaced. "It tastes bad!"

"What do you expect magic to taste like? Sugar?" Duo wondered, Heero shrugged then closed his eyes and thankfully fell asleep. "About that bath of his, not going to happen! Wait, unless."

"Duo! Heero's ill, the last thing he wants is Relena to give him a sponge bath, you don't want him either coming to kill us, or self destructing again do you." Duo shook his head. "If he needs more than a damp cloth on his head, we can just take off his shirt and put them on his chest instead."

"Wu, you're a genius! Anyway I'm going to take a nap, see you." With that and a slight motion of his hand Duo left to find refuge on the couch. Wufei sighed, then after straightening the cotton sheet, left the room.

"Jeez is there a fire in here or what?" Heero moaned waking up feeling as if a burning heat surrounded him.

"Damn and I thought his fever was going down." Mumbled Duo.

"Uh Duo?" Wufei began.

"Yeah?"

"Did you by chance accidentally turn on the heating?" Wufei asked in amazement, as he felt the hot radiator.

"Ooops." Duo exclaimed, running from the room, returning a few moments later. "Its off now." She said sheepishly, scuffing his foot.

"Was he in the line when brains were handed out?" Muttered Wufei.

"Probably taking a nap." Heero quipped, a weak smile across his lips.

"Oh funny." Duo said sarcastically.

"Well at least he's not calling you ma'am or talking about the faeries down the garden."

"Huh?" Asked Heero confused.

"You kept acting like a little kid, you're scary when you're delirious Heero." Duo shuddered.

"Oh, sorry." Heero apologied.

"Anyway how do you feel now?" Asked Wufei, placing a hand on the boys' head for a second, and then putting the thermometer in his mouth. "A little better." Heero replied when the thermometer was finally removed from his mouth.

"Good, your temps gone down too. Are you still tired?"

"Not that much."

"Good, here, just encase you're hungry." Duo gave him a bowl of melon, which he accepted and ate quite happily then returned the bowl to Duo. "Okay if you're good, and promise to stay in bed you can do whatever you do on this thing for half an hour, okay?" Duo said producing the laptop.

"My laptop!" Heero exclaimed, "Gimme!"

"Not so fast Hee-chan!"

"Yeah Heero you have to promise first." Wufei said.

"Fine I promise."

"Good." Duo smiled giving the devise to Heero.

"I missed you so much!" Heero exclaimed, hugging the laptop whilst Duo and Wufei sweat-dropped.

"Anyway as we said you got half an hour."

"Okay." Heero smiled a little then began to type away on his laptop for the next half an hour, by the time Duo and Wufei got back to his room his eyes were beginning to close.

"I think you need some more sleep." Duo whispered removing the laptop from Heero's grasp and placing it on the bedside table.

"Okay." Heero whispered as he slid down in to bed. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"Caring, no ones ever cared before when I have been ill. Doctor J said that being ill was a weakness I had to overcome by training even harder."

"I knew it." Wufei frowned.

"What did you think?" Duo asked.

"I didn't know what to think so I just went along with it I guess, but he never cared, no one ever did."

"We do. All of us, we all care for each other"

"I know, I am very thankful for that." They smiled and begin to leave. "Please don't leave, I sleep better when someone else is in the room."

"Is that why you always room with us?" Duo asked, Heero nods. "We'll stay, I can nap on the couch anyway."

"Yeah, and I'll read my book. Night Heero." Wufei smiled slightly, as did Heero in return but his eyes were already closed.

"Do you think Heero's alright?" Asked Quatre worriedly.

"He's got Wufei and Duo looking after him, who know?" Shrugged Trowa, causing Quatre's eyes to become wide and look even more worried. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding."

They open the door to the room and looked inside, seeing Duo and Wufei curled up asleep on the couch, book fallen to the floor, and Heero sleeping on the bed peacefully. "You know what, I think they're just fine." Quatre smiled closing the door. "I think I could do with a nap too."

"Yeah, I think we could all do with one." Trowa agreed yawning as they made their way down the hall to their room, for a well earned sleep.
