Please Don't Give Up- [Shanexoc]

Chapter 25 Worried sick

Ian woke up whit his whole body soar and an headache. He got up and got dressed, dragging himself along what he had to do. So much so, Shane found it odd that when he got downstairs to eat Ian wasn't there. The day passed by rather quickly weirdly enough, Shane got home and didn't see Ian. He went looking everywhere but didn't find him, so he called the other. After a minute or two the other answer.

Call:

Ian: Mmm hello?- he groaned.

Shane: Ian where are you?

Ian: I kinda got out of strength while feeding the chick... I've been stuck in the coop all day... I'm not sure I have the strength to walk back.

Shane: I'll get you.

The older hanged up, going over to the coop finding the younger in a cold sweat, he picked him up and brought him back home. Once in their bedroom the other took off the other's warm jacket and boots.

Shane: Why didn't you called me earlier?!

Ian: I didn't want to  bother you....- the other touched his head.

Shane: God you're burning up... Maybe you should take a shower to lower your body temperature... This is dangerous.

Ian: I-I'm fine...

Shane: You're not. I'll get you a seat, just pass your body through warm water cuz you shouldn't be this hot.- the other chuckled - Ian I'm serious, you're worrying me.

Ian: Alright... Go get it....- he said reluctantly, has he slowly took off his clothes, the other went downstairs before putting the seat in the bathroom, then picking up the other and seating him down.

Shane: I'm gonna seat right here in case you feel bad ok?

Ian: Alright....

After five minutes the other was done showering, Shane wrapped him in a towel before carrying him to the bed. Ian got dressed by himself has the other went downstairs and gave him the cold meds. He handed the other the thermometer, the other put it under his arm wanting it to beep. Then they checked it, 39° C. This was bad. Yet Shane calmed the other down, going downstairs to make dinner and getting their dinner. He called Harvey that said if the other's fever was still high in an hour or two to bring him in. Shane went upstairs whit a tray, on top of it a bowl of soup, the other sat up, putting the food on their lap.

Ian: You're amazing my love...- he muttered tiered, before starting to eat. They then laid against his boyfriend has they saw tv. After half an hour the other checked his lovers temperature again. It was higher, this worried Shane.

Shane: Ian, how are you feeling?

Ian: My head hurts, it's hella hot... Kinda hard to breathe...- he said, only then the other noticing his boyfriend's short breaths.

Shane: You don't have any lung issues do you?

Ian: I mean... I had pneumonia has a kid. But I think it's cuz my nose is stuffy.

Shane: Maybe I should get you to the clinic...

Ian: Shane it's just a cold.

Shane: I know but your fever should had lowered and it keeps rising. You could have a seizure or something...- the younger sighed before speaking.

Ian: Get me some warmer clothes, the clinic is freezing at night.

Shane: Tell me about it...- he said getting the other clothes and picking him up, taking them to the clinic.

Harvey: Fever didn't lower?

Ian: No.

Harvey: Alright lets go.- he said going inside, Shane laid the other down before the doctor gave him fluids. After setting the other in Harvey approached the other- You two are close aren't you?- the other chuckled.

Shane:Yeah...

Harvey: You know why he's got sick?

Shane: Yeah yesterday I had a cold, I told him he shouldn't had been that close to me but he did... Dumbass.

Harvey: You two are living together?

Shane: Bettwen us, yeah. I've been living whit Ian since I attempted.  I've been happier like this. He makes me want to change you know? Hell. I even joined the AA because of him...- he said suddenly his tone shifting- He's going to be fine right?...

Harvey: Of course Shane.- he said putting a hand on the other's shoulder- He's staying here for precautions. When he gets his fever down he will be discharged... Now trust me, your "roommate" is going to be fine, you can go home.- he said doing fake air quotes, Shane was clocked, he felt nervous before the other said- Don't worry I won't tell anyone, I know how it is to be gay in a small twon... I'm glad you found someone Shane. You deserve to be happy like everyone else... Now leave, I really need to sleep.

Shane: Right, right! Me two. Thanks Harvey.- he said before leaving.

Harvey: Mph...

That was the first time Shane had thanked Harvey. The doctor couldn't figure if it was because he decided to keep the secret or because Ian had acutally impacted him. Something was certain. The conversation didn't stay bettewen them two, has someone heard the whole thing. Shane walked home, not worrying about it. Although he still had a sleepless night, not because he was aware of what happened, but because of Ian.

God Shane you're sooo gay for Ian... Might has well marry him while we're at- wait wait. I didn't just think of marrying Ian?! He's my boyfriend, true and he pulled me out of the whole, but marrying? ... I have to think about it. Specially after Jas starts to visit... I'll tell her tomorrow. If this weekend Ian isn't sick we can do a test run and see how it goes her passing the night.

He thought has he entered the house. He sighed locking the door, kicking off his shoes and dropping himself on the couch, falling unconscious, only to wake up at around 4 am, freezing. He went upstairs whit his phone, checking his messages has he went to the bedroom. One message from Ian.

Message:
Ian: The ferver went down.
Ian: Rest my love.<3

Shane smiled, before putting his phone on the bedside table. He knew Shane was anxious about him and was easing him. He really cared. The older played down, being able to fall asleep whit great ease.
