AN: Hey everyone, so here's another drabble for you guys. I've also changed the title of the story because the last one sucked xD I hope you enjoy it, please tell me what you think :D

Disclaimer: Niff don't belong to me despite my very best attempts to find them on ebay :/

Prompt: Fever

Jeff woke in his dorm room, his fringe sticking to his sweaty forehead as he looked around, dazed and confused. He glanced at the clock by his bed and saw that he was an hour late to classes. Quickly, he sat up, before groaning and falling back into his bed at the banging pain radiating through his body. He shivered lightly and he rolled over, feeling something crumple under him. Confused, he felt around for the object, his hands finding a now slightly creased piece of paper. On it, he saw his boyfriend (and roommate)'s distinct curly handwriting

Jeffy
you're sick. Seriously, don't get out of bed.
The flus going round school, so rest up. I'll cover for
you in classes. I'll check on you at lunch, just try
and get some sleep. I'll see you soon
Love, Nicky

Jeff smiled and placed the note on his bedside table, glad to know he could fall back to sleep. However, sleep eluded him. He couldn't stop shaking, and yet his palms were sweaty. He kicked off the sheets, only to find he started to shake even more. When he finally did sleep, his dreams were strange and twisted fever dreams, full of warped faces and loud voices that made his ears ring. He tossed and turned, his legs tangling in the sheets as he groaned.
This is how Nick found him when he returned to their shared room at lunch to check on his boyfriend as he had promised. He frowned when he saw how ill his boyfriend was, his forehead shiny with sweat as he tangled himself even more in his sheets. Nick knelt down next to Jeff's bed, moving his hand to stroke the blonde hair out of the sleeping boy's eyes. He whispered to him gently, soothing him as he saw Jeff's eyes open.
"Hey love" He whispered, his voice groggy, squinting in the light of the room. He tried to swallow but a pained look came across his face at the soreness of his throat. Nick sat and handed him a glass of water and some pain killers.
"Hey gorgeous, how you feeling?" Nick asked softly, stroking Jeff's cheek
"mmh, like death warmed up" Jeff croaked, frowning as Nick stood up. However, a small smile came to his face as Nick lifted up the bed sheets and sunk in next to him. He manoeuvred Jeff to lean his head down onto the brunettes chest, stroking his hair lightly, pressing his lips to his temple
"I'm sorry you feel so crap honey, is there anything I can do?" Nick asked, looking down at Jeff
"Don't leave?" Jeff whimpered softly, looking up at Nick with legendary puppy-dog eyes. Nick thought for a second. He didn't have any important lessons this afternoon, and the thought of hours curled up in bed with his boyfriend seemed very appealing right now. He sighed, smiling down at the blonde.
"Okay fine. I'll call Trent and tell him you've gotten worse and that I'm gonna stay with you. He'll cover for us" Nick smiled, climbing out of the bed to Jeff's protests. Once outside, he got his phone out and called the other Warbler, explaining to him what had happened. Trent was happy to cover for them, adding that sleeping with someone whilst their delirious with fever is probably a bad move. Nick just laughed sarcastically, before heading back into the room. Jeff was sat up in bed, looking like he had a bit more colour in his face. Nick walked over and placed a hand on his forehead, that was feeling considerably cooler than earlier.
"I think you're fever's dying down a bit. You hungry? I brought soup?" Nick asked. Jeff smiled at how caring his boyfriend was, and scooted further along the bed so that Nick could join him again. Jeff sat and ate quietly, as Nick told him what he had missed that morning at school. Apparently Blaine was also ill, so Kurt was worrying all morning about him.
"Those two just need to hurry up and get together" Jeff mumbled, setting down his bowl as he finished eating
"I don't think we can judge people for taking a long time to get together now, can we?" Nick said, reminding Jeff of the months it had taken the blonde to admit his feelings for Nick who had been dropping hints for forever.
"You're never going to let me forget about that are you? I was nervous! I thought you were too good for me" Jeff pouted
"No way darling, we're perfect for each other" Nick smiled, leaning down to kiss Jeff softly, although the blonde pulled away quickly.
"Don't Nicky, you'll get sick" Jeff said, moving a bit further from his roommate
"I share a room with you Jeff, I'm gonna get it, there's no avoiding it. So if you don't mind, I'll go back to cheering you up" The brunette winked, kissing Jeff again he giggled lightly, moving his hand to rest on Nick's neck
"You're perfect, you know that?" Jeff mumbled against Nick's lips
"And so are you beautiful"
"Even when I'm ill and disgusting?" Jeff asked sadly, looking up at Nick through his eyelashes
"Even when you're ill. And you're not even disgusting then Jeff, you're still beautiful" He remarked, brushing the blondes hair from his forehead again as they lay down against the pillows once more, Jeff quickly falling asleep, his rest more peaceful now he was in Nick's arms. Nick smiled down at his boyfriend, glad he could be of use, even If it was just as human pillow. He picked his phone up and texted Kurt

'To KURT:
Now's probably a good time to make a
move with Blaine. It seems the flu makes
people extra cuddly ;]'

AN: I had no idea how to end this one tbh, although I may take a break from Niff for one chapter at some point to do a Klaine-centric sequel to this! As always, I hope you enjoyed this!
