Colby Brock Centric Oneshots

Migrane

Voices made themselves known around him as he slumped on the couch. His head seemed to pound rhythmically as Corey all but screeched, voice rather dramatic for the camera directed at them. The screech seemed to echo in his head as Sam continued reading out a variety of comments that they had composed for the video. Still, he bore his eyes into the camera willing himself to smile tightly as he barely concealed a wince.

Nobody seemed to notice his discomfort which he was thankful for. His discomfort was only weakness and he wasn't too fond of being teased at least not at the moment. While he knew that his roommates most likely wouldn't tease him if they truly knew how bad his head ached he still didn't want to risk it. So he played along with the energy of everyone else forcing himself to match there's. It felt so forced and just overall wrong even to himself yet he continued maintaining the false energy.

As the video continued on his pain became harder to ignore. His fingers soothing over the middle of his eyebrows any chance he got. Really it did nothing but help ease the tension a bit. Not by much though as the pain seemed to eventually overtake every part of his senses. Still, he just maintained his false smile even when Jake's voice raised with mock anger over one of the comments saying that he was only famous because Elton no longer lived with them.

He felt so low here his friends were giving the video everything that they had to make there fans happy. And yet he just sat there probably looking like an ungrateful jerk. It hurt to think but he couldn't help the guilt that flooded him.

He needed to do better, needed to be better.

'' Colby?-..Colby?'' The voice usually brought comfort to his ears but now it only left him wishing that he could be alone in his dimly lit room. Eyeing Sam lazily he waited for the blond to continue.

'' I just wanted to know if you have anything to say to the comment I just read,'' Sam asked with a grin.

His eyebrows creased in confusion as he tried to think back to what comment Sam was talking about. A few bland moments later he finally remembered the question. Looking at the camera he attempted the most serious face that he could muster.

'' No, my pee-pee did not go bye-bye for the winter. ''

It sent everyone into a fit of laughter which made him feel warm inside knowing that he wasn't just in the background. That he was actually contributing to the video rather than being a nuisance.

So he forced himself harder drawing more attention to himself so nobody would think that he was just being lazy. He got up from his position on the couch to walk over to the camera before crouching in front of it He placed his hands on his knees as his head thrummed painfully.

''I assure you it did not go bye-bye because it was never there, to begin with ''

He could only imagine the comments that this video would bring considering he had come up with the saying in the first place. But as he smiled brightly at the camera his now migraine became worse. Until it made itself the only prominent thing that he could think about. The light suddenly seemed far too bright as they shined in his view, the voices behind him seeming to swallow him whole as tension in his head worsened.

It felt like a tight band had been put around his head constricting every movement as pain flared. It was unlike any migraine that he had ever experienced. He could no longer hold back how bad he was feeling as he groaned. Just as his balance came short and started to fail him he felt familiar hands catch him. Even with his eyes squeezed shut as his eyelids crinkled he still knew that the hands belonged to Sam. After a few moments of silence and darkness, the hands repositioned themselves to wrap around his waist.

''Colby?'' The voice Sam used was gentle but still made him shrink back further into protective arms.

''Colby?'' The voice continued but was much keener on keeping the volume down, ''...Colby, what's wrong?''

'' Mhm m-my head.'' He mumbled weakly before finally opening his eyes frowning as the light hit him directly. He felt Sam nod before the blond spoke.

'' Jake could you please dim the lights? It will help Colby's migraine.'' Jake only nodded before immediately going to shut off the lights in the room. Sam merely turned his attention to Corey who sat there waiting to be able to help in some way.

'' And Corey could you possibly get something cold to put on Colby's forehead? '' Corey looked confused for a moment before smiling reassuringly and going to complete the task.

He let out a soft sigh of content seeing as the lights no longer on. He felt Sam's fingers delicately massage where his head throbbed. Once he finally trusted himself to speak he looked up at Sam.

''Thank you Sam'' The blonde didn't answer instead he found himself being lifted up into Sam's arms as the blond carried him gently. It surprised him that the older man had even managed to carry him. Meekly he asked what was on his mind.

''Am I heavy?'' Sam looked at him in utter disbelief before replying.

''Nope''

'' Are you sure?'' His arms wound there way around Sam's neck as he tried to make it easier for Sam to carry his weight. Sam only carried him with ease while asking if he preferred laying on the bed or the couch.

'' Of course, you aren't heavy at all to me Colby''

He stayed silent as he leaned his head on Sam's shoulder appreciatively. The slight tinge of coldness radiating from Sam's skin helped him. Once they got over to the couch Sam carefully set him down on the soft cushioning before sitting beside him. He already knew what was coming the moment that Sam's mouth opened.

''Why didn't you say anything Colbs?''

'' I well, er we were filming and I didn't want-..''

'' I don't care if we were filming Colby you're well being is always more important to me. You have to let someone in even if it's not me. I'm tired of seeing you overwork yourself.'' The sincerity in Sam's voice touched him more than anything as guilt struck him.

'' I know Sam I know and im sorry it just didn't seem that bad.''

'' I get that Colby but I need you to be okay. I don't want you to ever fake it, if your not okay I want to know so I can help.'' The blond sighed before continuing '' if anything hurts or upsets you then its important to me. No matter how small you may think it is I just wish you could see that.''

And truly as he spent the rest of the day being cared for by Sam, Corey and Jake he realized that Sam was right. He needed to start being true to himself and those around him and that meant not concealing his injuries and feelings.

Because they all had become something akin to a family. And families cared for one another so the least he could do was let others care for him.
