I woke up at 5:30 am to a weird noise coming from down the hall, so my first thought was to leave it for Louis and Liam to deal but I'm awake anyway so I might as well face this monster. Although as I was walking down the corridor the noise was actually coming from Niall's room and sounded a lot like muffled crying, so I slowly opened the door to find Niall crying into his pillow with and a pile of sheets on the floor which smelled a bit like urine. If Niall has had an accident and that means one thing, we have a sick little Nialler on our hands, and by our hands I mean Liam's hands.
"Oh NiNi, your okay, let's get you cleaned up hm." I say quietly as I pick him up and immediately feel the heat coming off of him, but the priority right now is getting him cleaned up.
I slowly carry him to the bathroom being careful incase he feels sick not to jostle him around too much and lower him onto the toilet seat. He just looks up at me and it is a heartbreaking site with his flushed face and fringe plastered onto his forehead, while he rubs his eyes with one hand and has two of his fingers in his mouth either biting or sucking on them to make himself feel more comfortable. A terrible habit he has but he looks to said to be told to stop right now.
I quickly peel of his wet pyjamas and switch his boxers for a pull up as when he is sick he isn't the best at getting to the toilet, but he is really paying attention so he isn't kicking up his usual fuss about wearing one. I then put him in some blue and grey pyjamas which he loves as it has his guitar on them and they are good as they are lightweight but long sleeved so he won't get to hot with the fever.

I grab his hand and lead him back to his room where he runs and grabs Mr Giraffe as well as Georgie so he is definitely not feeling better and we slowly make our way downstairs but not before he tries to lead me to Liam's room but the more sleep Liam gets the better as it will be a long day for him if he gets up now. Once we are downstairs I leave him with the TV on while I get him some water and fever reducers, but once I return I find him trying to climb over the stair gate although it isn't going very well as he is sucking some of his fingers so he only has one hand which is definitely impossible to climb over with.
"Come here NiNi I've got some water for you." But he just starts crying and calling Liam's name. I get up to retrieve him but then Louis comes down the stairs and scoops him up before I can reach him and gives me some worried glances probably because he can feel the pull up and the heat coming from the poor boy.
Louis POV
I make my way downstairs at about 6am to be met with a crying Niall at the bottom of the stairs and a worried looking Harry getting up to retrieve him but I've already scooped him up before him. However the second I pick Niall up I can feel the amount of heat come from the boy and when he moves to get more comfortable in my arms I can feel his padded behind, which confirms my suspicions of him being ill.
