Response over the phone

"No I'm not. Why is it every time I turn around the last couple of days there's a wolf there?" Danny said as he walked further in the room as a wolf walked in the house carrying a doctor's style brief case.

Steve nodded his head to the wolf who dropped said case and phased back and grabbed some clothes from his case and threw them on.

"Alpha what happened to you?"

"Got kidnapped by hunters, they got the drop on me."

"We'll let's go upstairs so I can examine you in private."

Steve groaned in pain as he forced himself off the couch and into a standing position. The doctor grabbed his arm and led him back up the stairs as Steve seemed to be losing his balance a bit. As soon as they reached the bed Steve all but collapsed on it. He was breathing deeply trying to regain his breath and deal with the pain.

He was stripped of his clothes and all his injuries retreated and wrapped up. When finished Steve was exhausted having had to phase so that all the injuries could be looked at before phasing back and then treated. He was in a lot of pain by the end of it and was glad when it finished.

"Alright Alpha, you're healing well. I want you on bed rest for the next two days. I have some pain killers here for you take two every couple of hours. Is there anyone staying with you?"

"I will." Both turned to see the Danny standing awkwardly at the door to the bedroom. "I'll stay."

"No offense but who are you human?"

"Detective Danny Williams. I'm the guy that saved him from the hunters and then he's turned around and save my life twice."

"Well than I'm glad, thank you." Danny nodded. "You realise that if you are going to look after him that requires you to be ok with sleeping in the same bed. Since you're body temperature is cooler than werewolves than you'll be able to cool him down easier than others from his pack." Steve glared at the doc knowing what he was doing.

"Excuse me?"

"Alpha here has an infection. We need to get his temperature down a bit. Werewolves are hotter than humans so if you were to sleep in the same bed it will help his temperature greatly."

"Fine."

"Good. Now I've left painkillers for when he's awake. He needs to take two every couple of hours if he's in pain."

"Ok. I'll make sure he takes them."

"Good cause he doesn't normally and half the pack has given up on trying to get him to take anything." Steve growled low at the doc who just smiled at him before packing up his stuff and turned to Danny. "Also change the bandages for the next two days and then he will need to phase to push the rest of the silver from his system and to heal up. I've put spares in the bathroom. He will need help getting in and out of the tub as well. Are you sure you're going to be ok handling this. I can get a pack member to come."

"Yeah I'm sure. He saved my life. The least I can do is help him out."

"Very well. I will take my leave. Alpha!" The doc turned back to Steve who turned his attention to him. "You stay in bed unless you are resting on the couch downstairs or going to the bathroom. You understand?"

"Yes." Steve gritted his teeth together.

"You better, I don't want to have to come back because you're not recovering well enough."

Steve glared at him as he smirked before turning and walking out of the room and out of the house all together. Steve sighed as he stared up at the ceiling above him as he heard Danny walk closer to the bed.

"You don't have to sleep in the bed. If you just give me cool cloths every few hours that will be fine and I'll continue it through the day. I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

"I'll be alright."

"I'm serious. You're heart rate leapt when doc mentioned it and don't think he didn't notice it either."

"I'll be fine." Then Danny's phone rang again. "Hold on. Hello... Hey Monkey I was going to call back. Got a bit busy. Hold on."

Danny left the room leaving Steve to himself as he turned on his side feeling exhausted and weak still. He knew he'd be better by the end of the week and then he'd go back to base to report in. Steve shivered slightly and moved so he was underneath the covers and shivered again. He knew his body was fighting the silver but he didn't enjoy it. Steve heard footsteps and saw Kono and Chin coming towards him. Steve nodded as they waited at the door. Kono walked over and knelt down beside him and put her hand on his head and frowned.

"You're a bit warm. Maybe you should have some sleep."

"Either one of us will come by during the day. Danny will be awake all night looking after you. It will give him some time for sleep." Chin said.

"I'll be fine. I'll be good in a few days. Try and see if you can get Danny to not worry about staying. I'll get one of my pack members to come by."

"Isn't it Danny's weekend with Grace anyway?" Chin asked.

"That's right he does." Kono said looking to Chin. "He mentioned about taking her to the zoo."

"See if you can get him to still take her for the weekend. I'll be fine."

"We'll try but he's very stubborn."

"Who's stubborn?" A voice came from behind them.

"No one." Steve said.

"Right. You two head on home and get some sleep. I'll see you in a few days."

"Danny one of us will come during the day to let you get some rest."

"Ok. Go home."

Kono turned back to Steve who started to shiver some more. Kono placed her hand back on his head again and frowned again. Steve gave a weak smile and closed his eyes against everything and pulled the covers around him more.

"We need to get him cooled down. He's burning up."

"I'll get that you two go home."

"You sure."

"Yeah I got it."

Chin nodded and nodded to Kono to leave. Kono stood up and walked out of the room with Danny following and they walked downstairs and to the front door.

"I'll give you a call in the morning before coming over ok." Chin said.

"Alright. Go home both of you."

Chin smiled and walked out with Kono following. Danny shut the door and headed into the kitchen and grabbed a bowl and some ice before heading back upstairs. Danny grabbed a wash cloth from the bathroom and filled the bowl that had the ice in it with water before going over to the bed. Danny placed the ice cool wash cloth on Steve's forehead and he jerked slightly.

"This should help. I'll go get a change of clothes from my car and be right back.

"Danny I'm serious you don't have to do any of this."

"Would you please stop. It's fine."

Danny left and Steve sighed. This wasn't a good idea. He was getting better and he didn't need the encouragement that the wolf in him was going to like. Steve reached out and took the cloth off his forehead now that it wasn't cool and dipped it in the ice water before wringing it out and placing back on his head again. Steve sighed and slowly felt his eyes lids close against his will.

Danny returned a few minutes later to find Steve asleep and still shivering. Danny went into the bathroom and changed into some more comfortable clothes and walked back out and around the other side of the bed. He placed his badge, gun and phone on the table beside the bed and climbed in. He felt Steve stir slightly before settling down. Danny moved closer and moved Steve so he was lying on his back.

Danny moved in closer and he could feel the heat coming off Steve's body and knew he wasn't well. Danny was in as close as he was comfortable and then settle down and went to sleep.

~~∞∞Ω∞∞~~

During the night Danny had turned away from Steve and in turn Steve turned towards Danny and wrapped his arms around him and pulled him in close. This was how Danny woke in the morning wrapped up in Steve's arms. He really didn't know how to react to it but he found that Steve was a lot cooler than the night before and figure his fever had broke and he was on the mend. Danny jumped when his phone started ringing and quickly and with much difficulty removed Steve's arms from around him and grabbed his phone.

"Detective Williams." Danny answered as he walked out of the room.

"Hey Danny it's Chin."

"Hey Chin what's up?"

"I'm on my way around now brah. Did you want a coffee?"

"Please. Maybe bring a spare in case Steve wants one."

"Sure brah, I'll bring one. Be about ten minutes."

"Thanks Chin."

Danny hung up and turned back to the room to see Steve awake and starting to sit up.

"How you feeling?"

"Better still not a hundred percent."

"Chin's on his way over with a coffee if you want one."

"Yeah sounds good. I'm going to clean up."

"Take it easy."

Steve just nodded and walked into the bathroom and shutting the door behind him. Danny sighed and went downstairs to look for something for breakfast and to wait for Chin to arrive.
