Tommy POV

As soon as my eyes opened I knew it was going to be a long day. My throat was already sore and I hadn't even used it yet. I was exhausted despite the fact that I had gotten a full nights rest. I rubbed my eyes, groaning as I rolled out of bed. It's probably nothing.

Slowly I got dressed, finally making my way to the kitchen. Instantly three pairs of worried eyes glanced towards me. I guess I looked sicker than I thought.

"You feeling okay Tommy?" Phil asked, moving towards me.

"I'm fine." I mumbled, trying to play it off as nothing. I didn't have time to be sick, I just didn't.

"You sure? Toms, you're really pale." Wilbur moved closer, laying his hand across my forehead. His eyes widened. "Toms you're burning up!"

"I'm sure it's nothing-" I muttered, immediately going into a coughing fit. I gasped for breath, my cough finally stopping.

"Tommy, that doesn't sound like nothing." Techno commented, gazing at me with worry.

Phil offered me a glass of water before steering me towards the couch. "I'm calling you in sick."

"I can still-" I began.

"Tommy, just go lay down." He walked towards the kitchen, leaving me with my brothers.

I groan but comply, sprawling out on the couch. Immediately Techno throws a few blankets over me, placing a box of tissues on the table next to me. Wilbur puts a glass of water on the table as well before beginning to run his fingers through my hair.

Phil returned a few minutes later offering medicine. I gulped it down, before snuggling further into the blankets.

"We're going to be late Wil." Techno sighed, glancing at his phone.

Wilbur turned to me, a sad smile on his face. "We'll be back to take care of you after school." He stood up, following Techno out to the car.

"Wait!" I coughed, making him turn towards me. I felt my cheeks turn red in embarrassment with what I was about to ask. I couldn't help it, I was clingy. "Can I wear your sweatshirt?"

Wilbur smirked. "Of course you can." He sprinted to his room, coming back with a yellow sweatshirt. He tossed it to me, smiling. "I forgot how clingy you get when you don't feel well."

"Shut up." I glared, slipping into the oversized sweatshirt. I inhaled Wilbur's scent, feeling at home. 

"See you later Toms." Wilbur waved, finally leaving the house.

I rolled my eyes playfully, turning to turn on the TV. 

The day went by slowly, me feeling worse and worse. I was coughing more and more to where I could barely take a deep breath. My fever only seemed to climb even after I could medicine.

Phil must have known how miserable I was, because he was doing everything in his power to make me feel better. He even let me watch Up three times without complaint. He was on the phone with a doctor, glancing towards me.

He sighed after explaining all of my symptoms. "Thank you, I'll pick up the medicine as soon as it's ready."

I looked towards him, coughing. "Wh-what did they say?"

"They say it's probably the flu. I'm going to head to the pharmacy to pick up some medicine for you." he explained. "Hopefully it will make you feel better."

I nodded, coughing once more.

"Do you need anything before I leave?" he questioned.

I thought for a moment. "Can I have more water please?" I held up an empty water bottle, which he grabbed with a smile.

"Of course." Phil walked into the kitchen, refilling the water bottle and grabbing a wash cloth. He came back, offering the water and the cloth. "Put that across your forehead."

I quickly spread it across my forehead, enjoying the cool feeling it supplied. "Thank you." I croaked, trying not to cough.

He smiled. "I'll be back in about a half an hour. Wilbur and Techno should be home in about ten minutes, so you won't be alone for that long. And you have your phone if you need anything."

I gave him a small smile, nodding. Phil ruffled my hair, kissing my forehead before leaving. 

I sighed, looking back at the TV. I was glad that I wouldn't be alone that long. I hated being alone. I snuggled closer into the blankets, trying to warm my shivering body. I closed my eyes, deciding sleep was a good cure.

I woke up to the feeling of someone playing with my hair. Instantly I knew it was Wilbur, since he was the only one who had a habit of doing it. I slowly opened my eyes, looking up at the older.

"Hey Toms." he whispered, smiling down at me. "Feeling any better?" 

"A little." I murmured, curling into his side.

He chuckled, wrapping his free arm around me and pulling me closer. "Phil's on his way back with your medicine." He gently pushed back my hair, leaning his hand against my forehead. "You're not as hot as you were this morning."

I hummed, burying my face into his sweater. I yawned, coughing a bit.

"Why don't you go back to sleep? I'll wake you up when Dad gets back." the brunette suggested.

"Okay." I mumbled, closing my eyes and quickly falling asleep.

It wasn't long before I was being shaken awake by Wilbur. "Phil's back." he spoke softly.

I sit up a little, looking around the room. Techno walked in with a glass of water and some medicine. "This should make you feel a lot better."

I quickly took the water and medicine, gulping them down. I leaned back into Wilbur. They both seem to awe at the sight, but say nothing. Techno sits down on the other side of me, wrapping a fallen blanket back around.

Phil walks into the room, smiling at the sight of us. "Are you feeling any better Toms?"

"Yeah, a little bit." I croaked. I looked towards him. "Thank you."

"Of course." Phil ruffled my hair, sitting in an armchair.

Techno turns up the TV, which was still playing Up. I snuggled closer to my brothers, thankful I wasn't coughing as much. We spent that entire night cuddled up together, watching movies.

After a long night of rest I felt much better in the morning.

I was glad I had an amazing family to take care of me.
