Colby Brock Centric Oneshots

Stomach Flu (Solby)

Long eyelashes fluttered a few times before opening slowly and adjusting to the brightness of the sun gleaming through his curtains. Shutting his eyes once again he tried to ignore the sun even as it splayed onto his face and lightened up his features. Staying silent for a moment he finally groaned in annoyance as he brought a pillow up to his face to block the full extent of the sun's wrath. Rolling over slightly his piercing blue eyes widened momentarily as he registered the pain that he was in. His head throbbed painfully in a way that could only be described as a terrible migraine.

A deep pain was settled in his abdomen. It was unlike anything he had ever felt before as he willed himself to stay still while he grasped his sheets in a tight grip.

He was sick it was an obvious fact but also overwhelming to him. He never usually got sick it was always his boyfriend Sam or Jake that got sick more often than not. Truly all of his roommates had gotten sick at times but he had only ever come down with a cold or two throughout the time that he had lived with them all. He never liked to admit to vulnerability or take time out of anyone's day so he always kept to himself while he was sick. Mumbling a few sleepy curses to himself he carefully placed a hand to his forehead wishing for the pain to stop.

He stayed that way for a minute before acknowledging that it wasn't going to magically disappear. So he propped himself up and sat on his bed ignoring the sudden dizziness that the movement brought him before he steadily rose up from his bed. Cautiously taking a few steps as his abdomen seemed to scream in pain he ignored it and went to his dresser. He pulled out a light blue short-sleeved shirt before pulling the baggy piece of clothing on. The gray sweatpants that he had on seemed good enough to lounge around in so he decided that it was good enough.

Sure he didn't feel good but that didn't excuse him from editing. YouTube was time-consuming and between the filming and editing, it was a job at that point. Not to mention the countless tours, merch and meet and greets that they had to release. It was stressful for them all especially with Sam gone to visit his parents.

He missed Sam dearly but he knew just how much the blond needed this and needed to see his parents. And so he proposed the idea of Sam visiting them for a week or so, he took on Sam's editing as well as his own. It was truly exhausting but he could handle it. He had to handle it because Sam deserved this.

Slowly heading down the stairs he held onto his middle attempting to ease his pain. It didn't work so he merely sighed before his computer came into view as it sat on the side of the table. He hated how much effort it took just to get to his stupid computer. When he finally came into contact with his computer he let go of his middle in favor of holding the computer. He hadn't noticed that Corey was near up until the older man spoke.

''Hey, Colby you okay?'' In surprise, he slightly bumped his side on the table and winced he really didn't feel good. But the concern in Corey's voice made him want to reassure the man.

'' Y- yeah I'm just peachy Corey.'' He muttered with a small smile before seeing the look that Corey gave him.

The man seemed to be scrutinizing him and it made him feel slightly insecure. Corey opened his mouth seemingly about to say something but he didn't give him the chance to. As quickly as he could he ignored his body screaming out in protest as he went upstairs into his room. He never noticed the way Corey's eyes had narrowed at him in concern as he made his way up the stairs.

Once he was in the safe haven of his own room he carefully heaved his body onto his bed dropping the computer as he did so. All he could think about was how much he missed Sam especially the blond's innocent smile and the pain that he was in. Wanting to take his mind off of it he found himself texting Sam but immediately frowned once he sent the message. Sam was having a good time with his family he shouldn't be bothering him. With that thought, he went to complete the task of editing starting on editing prerecorded videos of Sam's.

Putting his phone on the end table beside him he started to edit Sam's intro into the video. He found that the video only made him miss his boyfriend more and felt tears softly prick his eyes as his condition seemed to get worse. He probably looked absolutely pathetic, who teared up because of a little sickness and missing their boyfriend. Apparently, he was pathetic enough to do so. Slowly he felt a sense of fatigue wash over him as he grew slightly weary. Before he had registered what had happened his head hit the pillows softly and he was out, the computer lay forgotten on his chest as his phone buzzed constantly on the end table.

He wasn't sure how much time had passed before he felt a cool sensation across his forehead. It was soothing and he found himself slightly nuzzling into the touch. Although the sensation alarmed him slightly he still found himself opening his eyes groggily. Corey was leaning above him as he laid a cool washcloth on his forehead. The dark-haired man had a soft look, as Elton came into his view. Nobody spoke for a moment before Elton came over and slightly brushed the dark hair away from his face.

''Colby?'' Elton questioned quietly, he merely looked at the man before speaking in a slightly hoarse voice.

''Y- yeah''

'' Why didn't you tell us?'' Staring at Elton before looking into Corey's eyes he continued questionably.

'' Tell you what?''

'' That you weren't feeling well,'' Corey finished as though it were obvious. When he didn't answer the man sighed before continuing. '' Please Colby just tell us.'' As Elton nodded encouragingly he closed his eyes before finally speaking up.

'' I just I don't know I didn't want to be a burden. It's not a big deal.'' As Elton and Corey gazed at him sadly he rushed out his next words not wanting to feel uncomfortable anymore. '' I mean It's fine, I'm fine I need to finish editing.''

As he looked around for his computer he found that it wasn't where he had left it. Despite his weak protests firm arms softly pushed him back to the bed before Corey spoke.

'' Look, Colby, you have never been a burden nor will you ever be one. '' Corey continued sparing a smile, '' You're always there for others but you never let anyone be there for you. For once just please let us help you '' it truly was a tempting offer with how under the weather he felt but just as he was going to accept he remembered the editing. He couldn't just slack off.

'' I can't I have editing- '' Elton cut him off quickly.

'' I got that covered don't worry about it.'' Besides you feeling better is more important than that.''

'' Are you sure taking care of me won't be a bother?'' He found himself asking hesitantly. Surprised when a warm chuckle resounded.

'' Of course'' they both said in sync. He found himself nodding before something seemed to dawn on him.

'' How did you two even realize I was sick?'' He asked smirking softly.

'' Corey figured out something was off with you when you came downstairs earlier'' Elton said before snickering softly, '' Not to mention your protective blondie freaked out when you didn't answer your phone he's on his way home now. ''

A guilty feeling overcame him immediately as his face flushed slightly. Looking down at the pattern on his blankets in thought he hadn't meant for Sam to have to come all the way here just for him. Corey seemed to register what was going on and slightly nudged Elton.

''It's not your fault Colby I promise. You didn't make Sam come back he did so on his own, he missed you so much and his protectiveness kicked in. He loves you so much Colby truly even if you had insisted that he stay with his parents he wouldn't have listened. '' Sighing softly at the sense of calmness the statement brought him he found himself finally letting himself relax.

He finally let himself be taken care of as his mind was put at ease. Corey and Elton smiled fondly at his sleeping form and eventually Sam got home rushing in a frenzy while looking for Colby only to find Elton slumped over asleep in a computer chair having just finished editing. While Corey was asleep in a chair beside Colby's bed.

Grinning widely Sam took his phone out before taking a photo. This was pricless
