Julian hated being sick.
He was stuck in bed with a fever. Aside from feeling from feeling nearly unbearably hot, his head was pounding and his stomach was churning. He was so uncomfortable, but even more than that, he hated being stuck at home all day. His parents had both taken a day off to take care of him, and that did nothing but made him feel like a burden, especially when he felt that he was more than capable of taking care of himself. At least that's what he thought, until he realized that the heat and aches were too much for him to even go down to the kitchen for a glass of water.
Julian felt completely miserable. His eyes had been filled with tears for most of the day, from both the fever and from utter sadness.
But then he heard his door creaked open. He slowly turned over in bed to see who it was, expecting to see his mother or his father. But standing there at his door was Randy. He was looking right at him, a sweet, sympathetic smile.
The goth wasn't sure how to react to his boyfriend's presence. On one hand, he didn't want to be seen in this weak, pitiful condition. But on the other hand, he was instantly desperate for his comfort.
Randy must have been wanting to comfort him as well, as he was soon making his way towards the bed, sitting down on the edge. Julian used what little strength he had to make his way over to him, resting against him, letting out of soft whimper.
Randy ran a hand through the goth's hair. "How're you feeling, Jules?"
"Horrible," Julian choked out in a cracked voice than nearly sounded like a sob.
Randy sighed, moving closer to his boyfriend and pulling him close. "You're gonna be fine," he whispered. He held him tightly, kissing his forehead.
Julian let out another whimper, nuzzling against Randy's neck. They stayed like that for a while, and soon the goth found himself smiling ever so slightly.
He was finally feeling a little better.
