Kyle woke with what seemed to be one of the worst headaches in his life. The only thing he wanted to do was go back to blissful sleep but he was wide awake and nothing he did could change that.
When Kyle finally opened his eyes he immediately wished that he hadn't as the bright light stung and only seemed to worsen the pounding in his head. Looking at the clock he saw that it was almost one in the afternoon and Lily was still asleep. But he decided to let her sleep, he knew that she had spent the entire night with him trying to keep his fever down, and he was grateful. After his eyes finally adjusted to the light, he slowing made his way up, out of the bedroom and to the bathroom figuring that he might feel better after a shower.
Lily awoke to the sound of running water and just figured it was Kyle. Checking the clock she realized that she had half a shift today. She felt bad about leaving Kyle all alone and was tempted to call in sick that day but she knew better than anyone how much she was needed at St. Mike's and left Kyle a note on the table before leaving.
Kyle did feel a little better when he got out of the shower, and after changing into some clean cloths he went to look for Lily. Once he found her note Kyle was disappointed that he would be left home alone, and after recent events he was a little afraid, even if he wouldn't admit it to himself.
"I hate this" Kyle mumbled to himself as he fell onto the couch.
These past two weeks in general had been pretty terrible for him; there was the getting shot, being a patient in his own hospital, ripping his stitches open, and then getting sick, even thou he had slept through most of it. But one thing remained the constant good thing that came of all this: Lily. She had finally told him how she really felt and stayed with him through this whole mess, even taken care of him…
"Kyle, I'm back… Kyle?"
"In the kitchen"
"And what would you be doing in the kitchen?" Lily asked confused, she had expected to find him asleep on the couch like last time but was surprised to see him standing there waiting for her with the table nicely set.
"I was trying to thank you"
"Please dear god don't tell me you cooked, because I've heard rumors that a certain Dr. McCarty can't cook to save his life"
"And you should believe every one which is why…" he moved his had to show her what he was hiding behind his back "I ordered Chinese"
Lily smiled walking up to him and kissed him gently on the lips.
Kyle raised an eyebrow, "did you forget that I'm still sick?"
"No, but it was worth the risk"
