CW: Throwing up
Tendou perked up, hearing snoring as he entered his home. Ushijima never took naps during the day. He swore it threw off his body clock. Even when Tendou napped he would only sit by him and not sleep.
Tendou dropped his things and wandered into the living room where Ushijima was fast asleep with his laptop next to him, about to fall to the floor. He set it to the side and felt of Ushijima's forehead. "Ah shit. You're burning up."
Ushijima inhaled deeply. "Mm?"
"Come on babe, you should go lay in our bed. The couch isn't good for your back." Tendou pulled his arm loosely. "Up we go."
Ushijima stood slowly. "You turned the heat on..."
"I wish that was the case but I can't stand the heat." Tendou eased Ushijima into bed. He took off his socks and shoes and chuckled at his business casual wear. "Wakatoshi. I need to undress you."
"Mm..." Ushijima pulled his belt and whined. "My hands feel sore."
Tendou rolled him onto his back. "I know honey, I know. Can you please help me undress you though? You're hella heavy."
Ushijima got off his pants and Tendou worked on his shirt. Tendou got the thermometer and stuck it in Ushijima's mouth as he got changed. The thermometer beeped and he checked it before sighing.
"You've got a high fever. Lay down."
Ushijima nodded and laid down, turning towards Tendou's side of the bed.
"Since when have you not felt good? Hm? Usually I can tell first."
"My throat was sore last night."
"And what did you think the cause of that was? And don't say sex because I haven't done that in ages." Tendou put a blanket over him and kissed his temple. "Does your throat still hurt?"
"Mhmm..."
Tendou kissed his cheek. "Does your head hurt?"
"No."
"Good." Tendou rummaged through the cabinets until he found some cold medicine. He poured it into the medicine cup and sat on the bed. "You ready?"
"What is that?" Ushijima questioned, sitting up to grab the cup.
"Cold medicine."
Ushijima nodded and took it. He handed the cup back to Tendou and coughed, holding a hand to his chest. He wheezed, continuing to cough.
"Uh! Uh! Throw up on the bed and I'll be pissed!"
"I'm not going to-" Ushijima kept coughing. "It's my throat."
Tendou nodded. "Weird." He pat Ushijima's pillow. "I feel bad for you and all but you need to go back to sleep."
Ushijima laid down in Tendou's lap. "I'm exhausted."
Tendou sighed. He hated Ushijima being sick and all but at least he wasn't as physically withdrawn. Ushijima was always lovey but physical affection in public or around others was a struggle. Ushijima loving on him increased at home but got even more comfortable when he was sick.
"Satori?"
"Yes Wakatoshi?"
"Can you make that really good soup for me? With the carrots?" Ushijima turned his head up. "Please?"
Tendou laid down, wrapping Ushijima in his arms. "I've got to get you to sleep first."
Ushijima closed his eyes. "I will go to sleep."
