"Are you sure you don't want anything else?"

Courtney shook her head, letting out a few more coughs before responding, "I'm fine."

Duncan frowned when she sneezed a few times. He rubbed her thigh as he semi-layed next to her in their bed. She was sick with the cold, something she got from her office (it had been spreading around for a couple of weeks before it finally hit her). She was propped up against a pillow in their bed, a box of tissues next to her. He brushed a few strands of hair out of in front of her face.

She smiled softly at him. "Don't you work today?"

"Nope," he said, smirking. "Mike won't let me back until you're better. You know how he gets, doesn't want any kind of sickness in there. And then I have the day off today at the other job, so we have the day to ourselves..."

She softly laughed, her laugh coming out whisper-like. She patted his hand and said, "I doubt we'll be doing much of anything today, except laying in bed..."

He shrugged, sitting up and stretching his arms and torso. "Well, I'm hungry. Are you sure you don't want anything to eat or drink?"

She shook her head as she scooted her body down the bed slightly and laid back, resting her head against her fairly large pillow. "Nope. I'm just going to take a quick nap..."

"Rest as long as you need to, babe," he muttered, leaning over and kissing her forehead.

She nodded, clutching the sheets closer to her as she snuggled into the pillow. He smiled at her, running a hand over her hair for a few moments before standing up.

It felt like hours later before Courtney woke up. She glanced over, and saw that it was 7:30PM. She really did sleep the whole day! When she fell asleep, it was a little after Noon... She slowly sat up before sneezing a couple of times. She groaned, grabbing a few tissues and wiped her nose. She wrapped her small blanket around her and slowly slid off the bed. She slipped her feet into her fluffy slippers and slowly trudged down the hallway, keeping her blanket tightly wrapped around her.

As she stepped down the hallway, she thought she heard someone talking. As she stepped closer to the kitchen and living room, she realized she heard Duncan singing. She smiled softly to herself as she quietly stepped beside the kitchen. She leaned against the wall, listening to his soft, yet audible, singing.

"Hands, touching hands, reaching out. Touching me, touching you..."

She frowned, listening to those lyrics, wondering what in the world he was listening to, until she heard the next part:

"Oh, sweet Caroline. Good times never seem so good. I've been inclined to believe it never would..."

She softly giggled, covering her mouth with her hands so her laughs would be quieter and muffled. She stepped into the door frame and saw that Duncan was standing there, unsurprisingly shirtless, loading the dishwasher. She saw his iPod Deck on the kitchen counter. She began to giggle a bit louder as she continued to sing, even adding a few of his own words to the chorus later:

"Oh, sweet Courtney. Good times never seem so good..."

She continued to giggle, but soon began to cough. Immediately, Duncan turned around, his eyes wide. "Courtney?"

She smiled softly, coughing a few more times before saying, "You're cleaning?"

He smirked. "I'm not THAT lazy, babe." She rolled her eyes as he shut the dishwasher, turned it on, and walked over to her. "How long have you been standing there?" he asked.

"A couple of minutes."

He nodded. "Enjoyed my singing, huh?"

She smirked. "It's alright."

He rolled his eyes, smirking. "Whatever. You know you liked it."

She nodded. "I got a good laugh out of it." He chuckled. She patted, his chest, smiling. "So, Duncan..."

"What do you want?"

"You never told me what your tattoo meant."

He smirked, but she could tell he just realized he hadn't told her. "You really want to know?"

She rolled her eyes, a little bit impatiently. "If I didn't want to know, I wouldn't have asked, sweetheart."

He nodded. "True." He chuckled lightly. "You're going to laugh... or be upset..."

She raised an eyebrow. "Duncan."

"Okay!" He sighed. "It says 'criminal'."

Her mouth fell open, but she was amused. She used to call him "criminal" all the time, mostly while they were on the "Total Drama" shows. "No way!" she said, grinning.

He laughed. "Seriously. I knew you'd like it..."

"You were scared of my reaction," she muttered, wrapping her arms (and blanket) around him. "I love it," she muttered into his chest.

He smirked, wrapping his arms around her body. "I'm glad you do."

She smiled into his chest, her body practically melting into his comforting embrace. Just as she got extremely comfortable, she started coughing. She quickly placed her blanketed hands in front of her so she wouldn't cough anymore into Duncan's chest. She could feel him rub her back lightly, also patting it slightly.

He stepped away from her, grabbing a glass from the cabinet. He poured a bit of ginger ale into it and handed the glass to Courtney. "Here, drink some," he said. "It may help a bit."

She gave him a small, yet sad, smile and drunk a bit of it. She shrugged and muttered, "I guess it helped."

He frowned slightly, rubbing her arm. "Why don't we go through that package your Mom sent you today?"

Her eyebrows instantly raised at that. "She sent me another package?"

He nodded, walking into the living room. "Oh yeah." He sat down on their couch, motioning to the package that sat on their coffee table.

She sighed, shaking her head as she sat next to him. "I know what these are."

He leaned back against the couch. "Well, then. This should be interesting."

She shrugged and opened the package. She went through it before groaning, sitting back against the couch. "No..." she whined, giggling softly as she shook her head.

He looked over at her, an excited grin on his face. "Tell me, tell me!" he said, mocking a five-year-old.

She rolled her eyes, lazily slapping his thigh. "Go look at it."

"I don't think I'm supposed to," he muttered, pointing to the top of the package, which, in small letters, read, "Do NOT let Duncan see this!"

She peered to where he was pointing at and softly giggled. "Well... it's just the first few things that are bad. I don't know why she put those on top..."

He sat up and leaned forward, peering into the box. He grinned, picking up the first few magazines. "Your Mom is amazing," he muttered. Her Mom had sent her a bunch of magazines, but the ones he had picked up were wedding lingerie magazines.

She scoffed. "You call her 'amazing' because she sent me sexy lingerie magazines."

He nodded, flipping through one of the magazines. "She would have even been more amazing if she had actually bought these pieces of clothing and sent them to you."

She rolled her eyes as she sat back up. She looked back into the box and noticed guys clothing magazines. "Oh, she got some magazines for you this time..."

"That's nice," he murmured, flipping through another lingerie magazine.

She grabbed the few magazines and places them on Duncan's lap. She grabbed a wedding planning magazine and sat back before reading that.

A few moments later, she heard Duncan mutter, "Um, babe..."

"Hmm?"

"I know these are supposed to be for me, but I think this one is for you..."

She looked over at him and bit her lip, holding back her giggles. It was a mens wear magazine, but more like sexy wear for men. She grabbed the magazine and said, "Oh, this should be fun to look through..." She started flipping through it, but her interested face became confused as she looked at the weird clothing. She tilted her head slightly at a few the pieces of clothing. "These are like bad Halloween costumes," she murmured.

He glanced over before starting to crack up. He grabbed the magazine from her and continued to laugh as he quickly glanced through the magazine. "Oh, these are hilarious! Don't ever make me wear these!"

She laughed. "I don't plan on it."

A/N: Hello, long-overdue filler chapter... sorry about not updating! I got a bit caught up in my other story, and I didn't know what to write for the next chapter of this story. I had two other chapters planned, but I couldn't quite write an ending for them... those will be the next two chapters, and those will focus more on their relationship. Please review, and like I always say, submit any ideas if you have any! =)
