A/N: This whole chapter comes from Joe's reactions whenever George is sick…
"Komui?" Reever whispered hoarsely.
The supervisor froze. They started at each other for a heartbeat, Then Ree rubbed his eyes and yawned. "Can I go back to work yet?"
Komui chuckled, that was his Reever.
"Not just yet, But soon" he added when the blonde pouted adorably. "Are you hungry?"
Reever nodded blearily and Komui helped him sit up.
The supervisor was ashamed of himself, the blonde was as weak as a kitten, but there he was getting all excited about being able to touch him. Komui's brain almost exploded when his hand brushed against a bit of exposed skin at the Aussie's hip.

Once Reever was sitting up properly and supported with pillows he tried to reach for his food.
The opportunity was just too good to pass up. Komui knew he'd face Reever's wrath later, but at the moment he didn't care.
"You should really conserve your strength. Here, I'll feed you!"
"B-but"
"Ree, you'll get well faster if you save your energy."
The scientist gave in and nodded. He really wanted to get back to work. He opened his mouth and patiently dealt with Komui spoon-feeding him some soup.
The supervisor was seriously regretting his decision. Who knew soup could be so erotic?
Then it was time for medicine and Komui wasn't sure whether he was in heaven or hell.
He gently pushed the pills into Reever's mouth (trying to ignore the feeling of the blonde's lips under his fingers) and held up a glass of water. He couldn't stop himself from watching Reever's adams apple bob up and down as he swallowed.
He helped Reever lay back down. He had to get out of there fast before he did something stupid. When he was almost to the door he made the mistake of turning around to say goodbye.
Reever looked like a lost kitten. Komui reasoned that he was probably bored out of his (fevered) mind.
The blonde perked up when the supervisor promised to bring him dinner and visit with him later.

Reever settled down for another nap, mind spinning. The supervisor was being so nice to him, caring even, but had Komui really stared at him like that or was his mind playing tricks on him?
A/N: My goal is to update/ finish all of my current/ old stories before I start on new ones (or more accurately, before I post and work on the four new stories my muse is playing with)
Reviews are made of ( KoRee) love!
Does anyone have suggestions for other caretaker like things? Oh and should the lemon be while Reever is sick or should we wait for him to get better?
