I'm everything I am
because you loved me

Sick
S is for Sick
Tim walked into the kitchen to find a very pale looking Eric standing in front of the stove, trying not to cough. "What do you think you're doing?"
Eric yawned tiredly before continuing, "Cooking food."
"But you should be in bed!"
"I was hungry..." Eric stated hoarsely after another coughing fit.
Tim sighed as he crossed his arms over his chest, "Eric, if you're hungry, I'm quite capable of making you something. You should only be resting."
Dizziness swept Eric as he held onto the stove, Tim noticed and moved to stand behind him and steady him. Gently, Tim lifted a hand to Eric's forehead and grew even more concerned, "You're running a fever." He whispered. "Eric, you should be in bed."
"But..."
Tim ignored him and guided Eric toward the bedroom. "Eric, trust me."
A tired and sick Eric resigned himself to his fate and let himself be led.
FIN.
