Charlie woke up for what felt like the millionth time that night, his stomach was churning uncomfortably as puke threatened to leave his body. He quickly got out of bed and ran to the bathroom. He sat in front of the toilet, feeling thick saliva fill his mouth as his body prepared for the puke to come.

He let out a whimper as he puked into the toilet. Since he hasn't eaten anything since dinner time, which was now 10 hours ago, all he was puking up was bile.

Meanwhile, Nick woke up when he heard the sound of puking. He knew Charlie wasn't feeling well as he'd already woken up twice to puke that night. Nick quickly scrambled out of bed and ran to the bathroom. He opened the door and frowned when he saw Charlie leaning over the toilet. He quickly sat down beside him and began rubbing his back comfortingly.

"Let it out love," Nick said softly. He leaned forward and kissed Charlie's head softly. Charlie finished puking then leaned against the wall. Nick flushed the toilet and got a tissue, he wiped Charlie's mouth for him then threw out the tissue. Charlie leaned against Nick, tucking his head into his chest. Nick held his boy close and rocked back and forth.

"Are you okay?" Nick asked softly. Charlie just nodded. "Do you think you'll puke again?" This time Charlie shook his head. Nick kissed the top of Charlie's head. "Do you want to go back to bed then?"

Charlie nodded his head and pulled his body away from Nick's. He stood up slowly with the help of Nick and followed the older boy back to his bedroom. He was staying at Nick's for the weekend since his family was away, but he didn't expect to be sick the whole time. When they made it to Nick's room Charlie started shivering. He wrapped his arms around himself until he felt bigger arms wrap around him. He smiled when Nick kissed his neck gently.

"Are you cold?" Nick asked softly. Charlie nodded. "Do you want a jumper?"

Charlie nodded excitedly, he loved wearing Nick's jumpers, they made him feel safe, and they were comfortable. Nick unwrapped his arms from Charlie and opened his closet, he got one of his hoodies and handed it to Charlie. Charlie put the hoodie on and smiled at Nick.

"Ready for bed?" Nick asked.

"Yeah," Charlie agreed. Charlie checked the time and saw that it was 4:30 in the morning. "Sorry for making you wake up."

"No worries love, I'm just glad you didn't have to be sick by yourself," Nick replied. Charlie nodded before getting into Nick's bed. Nick got in next to him and held Charlie close. Charlie laid his head on Nick's chest and smiled softly.

"Thank you for taking care of me."

"Of course, you're the most important person in my life, I'll always take care of you," Nick said while running his hands through Charlie's hair. Charlie smiled at what he said before closing his eyes.

"I love you Nick."

"I love you too Char, get some sleep love."

Charlie closed his eyes, cuddled into Nick some more, then fell asleep.

*morning*

Nick gently shook Charlie awake, placing soft kisses on his forehead at the same time.

"Char, wake up," Nick said softly. Charlie's eyes fluttered open and he looked up at Nick with a small smile. "Hi love, we made plans with the Paris squad, remember?"

"Oh, right," Charlie said, slowly sitting up. Nick looked down at Charlie from where he was standing and ran a hand through his hair.

"Are you feeling up to going? If not we can totally just miss today, I'm fine with that," Nick said softly.
