"C'mon Y/n, wake up!"

"Shut the fuck up, Les. I'm tired." I said, rolling to the other side of my bed. "The whole gang is waiting to play." He said.

"What are they all doing at 8 in the morning to play?" "We already had that conversation with them and you agreed we'd skate today at 8 so let's go!"

He kept dragging me, pulling my arm. I really don't remember agreeing to that but I don't want to play at 8 am on a Saturday. Plus, I felt sorta sick.

"Whoa Y/n, you're heating up. You are literally steaming hot." He said. "Am I? No wonder I felt like I had a knife stuck up my head all night. Maybe I spun to much while skating." I said as Les touches my forehead. "You should stay here. I'll tell your mom you're sick, alright? And the others." He said and left my room.

He came back and had medicine and food in his hands. "Your mom said you get sick a lot." He said. "Yeah, I do. It sucks sometimes." I said, trying to sit up but I felt so weak I fell back into bed again.

"Whoa, here. Let me help you." He said, putting the meds and food on the table and he helps me sit up. "Thanks. You should just go play. I'll be fine. I've been through this." I said.

"No, you could barely get yourself out of your bed. The others are playing without us anyway. I'm fine taking care of you." He said. "Why would you?" "What?"

"Wanna take care of me?" I asked. "Well, first of all, I worry a lot and you know that. Second, I am completely and utterly in love with you." He said.

I was too tired to make a huge expression so I just said, "What?" Without one.

"Yeah, I thought you'd notice that by now but I guess I'm just good at hiding my feelings." He said with a grin. "Hey, hiding your feelings is never good. Especially for too long." I snapped.

"Of course. Here, take these, then I'll feed you." He said. "N- no, I think I can take it from here. Thanks a lot, Les. I'd kiss you but I'm too sick to." I said. "You would? Does that mean you like me back?"

I giggled, "Of course. You're the cutest guy ever. Plus, I knew you'd be a great partner for someone when you started caring for me. I just never knew it'd be me." I said.

"Thanks. Anyway, we'll kiss another time when you're not sick because by the way your heating up, I think if I were you, I'd be melting. How are you so strong to do this?" He asks.

"Told ya. I'm used to it." I said.
