This is a sequel to "A Rainy Date". Although you don't need to read it and won't be missing much, it might provide a better experience if you read it first.
Sheep was lying down on his bed, feeling very miserable and sick. He has a very bad cold, and he hated it. Ever since his rainy date with X Agent, Sheep started to get ill as his throat was getting sore, his nose was getting runny, and had headaches more frequently, which led him to this point. Sheep didn't fully have the strength or even will to start off his day, his head was hurting quite badly and he felt very tired. But he knew he couldn't spend all day like this, so he slowly got off his bed and walked his way to the living room, so he can call X Agent for some help.
"Hello, this is X Agent speaking?" X Agent answered. "H-hi... *cough* It's me, Sheep... *sniff* Sorry if this sounds inconvenient, but can you come over to my apartment?" Sheep requested with his bleats stuttering in between, "I got a v-very bad... C-c-cold... And I could use some help..." X Agent gulped a little, "Oh... I'll be right over, just lie down in the mean time..." Sheep bleated a thank you, before hanging up. Knowing that he didn't have the strength left to go back to his bedroom, he walked towards the couch and lied down. Without a pillow or blanket to keep him warm, Sheep started to feel very cold and began to shiver. He couldn't even form a sentence, as it just came out as unfinished bleats. "I... H-h-h-hope X Agent gets here... S-s-soon..."
It wasn't before long that X Agent arrived, he gasped at the state Sheep was in. "My god, Sheep!" He called, "You look terrible! Lets get you in bed..." Sheep was about to say something, but only made a quiet bleat. X Agent held Sheep in his hoofs and placed him back in his bed, before putting a warm blanket on him. Sheep started to feel warm and stopped shivering, but was still very sick. X Agent placed his hoof onto Sheep's forehead and checked his temperature, "*sigh* Very warm... Don't worry, it will get better in a few days." Sheep gasped, "A few days?! A few days of this god damn cold?!" X Agent frowned, "I know... But it'll get better overtime..." He then sat down besides Sheep, "I'm going to make some breakfast for you... What would you like?" Sheep thought for a moment, "Well... I could use some toast with jam, and a cup of tea with one teaspoon of sugar." X Agent nodded, "Got it, I'll be right back. Just rest while you wait" He then left the room, leaving Sheep on his own. Sheep honestly never expected X Agent to be this much of a help, but felt very thankful to have a boyfriend who would do anything to help, even for something non-serious like a cold. Though, knowing him, X Agent might consider a cold to be serious.
A few minutes later, X Agent came back and was holding a tray of what Sheep wanted. "I hope this breakfast will make you feel better..." He cheered. Sheep smiled a little, "Thanks... You didn't have to do this..." "Nonsense, Sheep." X Agent argued, "A sheep who is sick needs some help with their day." "I guess you're right..." Sheep agreed, "...I love you..." "I love you too..." X Agent replied. As he placed the tray onto Sheep's bed, he gave him a kiss on the forehead. Sheep blushed from this but didn't bother hiding it, as X Agent knew him too well at this point.
After he had finished his breakfast, Sheep felt a bit better than before but was still miserable. X Agent could see that, "Sheep, is there something wrong? Didn't you like it?" "I did like it..." Sheep corrected before sneezing, "... It's just that cold..." "I understand, Sheep. The best thing to do right now is to get some rest and relax." X Agent advised. "While you're here?" Sheep questioned. "Yes, Sheep. I refuse to let someone who is ill on their own, especially if it's someone I'm very close to..." Sheep sighed a little, "I don't know what to say other than... Thank you." "No need to thank me!" X Agent soothed, "Anything for the best boyfriend in the world." Sheep smiled at X Agent as he began to lie down. "If you want something, just let me know." X Agent reminded as he smiled back. "Gotcha..." Sheep replied before he made himself comfortable and closed his eyes, before going to sleep.
Once Sheep was asleep, X Agent's smile faded away. He moved the tray away from Sheep and began to stroke his wool. He felt very worried for his loved one, even if it was just a common cold.
"Get well soon, Sheep..."
