This got suggested to me by Space Between Seconds, a while back and I thought I should give it a go. It's set a couple of days after A Christmas Tori, although it doesn't really mention much from the episode.

Hope you like it :)


Jade kicked at Beck's RV a few times before taking out the key he had given her (a compromise to get her to stop breaking it) and unlocked it. If he had just slept in, after forcing her to get up at 8 on a Saturday to go to some car show, she might actually strangle. Or stab him. Yeah stab him.

"What the Hell, Beck? You were supposed to pick me an hour ago? And why aren't you replying to me?" Jade yelled as she stormed into the RV. But Beck wasn't there. Or so she thought until she saw that his bed cover was pulled all the way over the pillow.

Stomping a feet steps closer to the bed she pulled down the cover. Beck groaned loudly, immediately covering his face with his arms.

"What's wrong with you?" She snapped.

"I ate some of Cat's beef and now I'm sick," he mumbled. His voice was weak.

"Well that was stupid," Jade said unapologetically, although her voice automatically softened. "Why didn't you text me?"

Beck pointed vaguely to the floor and she followed his finger until she saw his pearphone a few feet away from the bed.

"It fell when I woke up and I realized I was sick."

"So pick it up."

"If I move, I throw up. Your call," he replied, moving his arm a little so he could look at her. She sighed, and sat on the edge of his bed.

"Did you take anything?" she asked, letting her hand fall gently on his chest before rubbing it. He shook his head.

"How do you even survive alone?" She muttered as she got up again and walked to his cupboard where he kept all his medicines. She pulled out some aspirin, and an anti-nausea tablet for good measure, and picked up his water bottle on the way back to his bed.

"Sit up," she said, as she stood over him. Beck just groaned and didn't move. "Beck, don't be a baby."

"You didn't throw up your entire stomach a few hours ago." But he pushed himself up into a sitting position. She handed him the pills and the water, which he sipped gingerly. She found a bucket in his cupboard as well, although she wasn't sure why he even had one, and placed it next to his bed. And finally she found a packet of water crackers on his food shelf and tossed them onto his lap.

"Dry food is good," she said when he looked at her in disbelief. She pulled her boots off and shed her jacket on the floor before climbing over him and to the other side of the bed, by the wall.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Sleeping, what I should have been doing on a Saturday," she replied, pulling the covers over her. "If you throw up on me I'm breaking up with you!"

As he chuckled weakly, she laid her head on half of his pillow and let her arm stretch across his lap, where he took her hand in his. Before she drifted off she could hear him munching on the crackers.

...

A couple hours later Jade woke up to the sound of the TV, although she couldn't tell what was playing. She opened her eyes to fins Beck in the same position she had left him in, only now he was watching cartoons or something. She pushed herself into a sitting position, and Beck turned to look at her immediately.

"Hey," he grinned, much too cheerfully for a guy who had been sick a few hours ago.

"How are you feeling?" she asked, pulling her hand out of his so she could reposition herself next to him.

"Good. I threw up a couple of the crackers, but then I think that thing you gave me kicked in. I feel fine now. Just tired," he said, reaching over to wrap his arm around her shoulder and pull her closer. "Thanks for looking after me," he said pressing a kiss to her hair.

"Whatever, you better brush your teeth before you get any further!" She looked at him pointedly.

He just nodded his head. A second later he turned back to her, "We can probably still make the car show," he smiled at her, knowing full well that he would get a glare in return.

"Please, we won't stay long. And we can stop for coffee. On the way there and back!" he offered, nudging her a little with his shoulder.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine now," he reassured her and pushed himself out of bed. He did a little dance in the middle of the RV to prove his point, before continuing on to the sink to brush his teeth

Jade made her way out of the bed more slowly, putting on her boots. She was glad he was feeling better, and glad she looked after him. As annoying, and gross as it was, she'd rather take care of him than leave him alone and sick. Plus, and she'd never tell him this, he looks kind of adorable when he's helpless. She picks up the bowl, which has a gross cracker-y goo in it and takes to the sink as well, dropping it under the running water. He grins at her with a toothbrush in his mouth, and she makes a disgusted face in return.

A couple minutes later, she had moved to his mirror to fix her hair that had been ruffled by sleeping. Beck wrapped his arms around her from behind and pressed a few kisses to her neck. She smiled, before turning herself in his arms to face him.

"You need to get dressed," she reminded him. He nodded, and kissed her gently. Thankfully, he tasted like toothpaste and nothing else. Slowly, he pulled away, pressing a quick kiss to her cheek when she pouted at him. He threw on jeans, boots and a shirt over his T-shirt. Stepping back towards her, he waved the "J" necklace she had given him for his birthday in front of her face before slipping it over his head. She rolled her eyes, but couldn't help a smile escape.

When he was finally ready, he grinned at her like a five year old, "Let's go!" he said, taking her by the hand and leading her out of the RV and to his car.

Jade thought to herself how this stupid car show better be magic or something, but Beck was so happy about going she didn't even really care.
