"Are you sure you're okay?" Mike asked as he pulled up outside Will's house.

Will nodded, "It's just a cough." He shrugged unbuckling his seat belt.

Mike frowned a little and kissed Will's cheek, "Alright I trust you, if you need anything call me."

"Okay I love you." Will smiled as he got out of the car and ran into his house.

"Hey baby!" Joyce smiled as she hugged Will tightly, "You really did it." She said softly as she took the hat off Will's head.

"It felt like the right time." Will smiled, "And Mike shaved his too."

Joyce clapped her hands, "He is just amazing Will, I'm so glad you have him."

"So am I." Will smiled as he coughed a little.

Joyce frowned and felt Will's forehead, "Are you getting sick?" She asked.

Will shook his head, "No, it's okay." He sighed softly, "I'm gonna go to my room."

"Alright baby, I'll be at work until later tonight so dinners in the microwave." She said kissing Will's cheek and rushing to the door, "I love you!"

"Love you too!" Will called as he watched her leave.

A few hours later, Will was hunched over the toilet as he watched his breakfast swim around the bowl while the bath filled up with scorching hot water.

Shivering, Will swirled his hand in the water and turned the tap off and climbed into the boiling water, immediately tinting his skin red but Will couldn't feel the heat.

Sinking himself into the water he continued to shake and began to cough again until he heard Mike's voice call from the hallway.

"Will?! Where are you?!" Mike called as his voice came closer and the bathroom door swung open.

Will blinked slowly and looked over at Mike, "What are you doing here?" Will yawned before coughing again.

"You never called me back." Mike sighed as he walked over and sat Will up, "Jesus- Will how hot is that water?" He asked.

"Not warm enough, I'm freezing." Will shivered as he leaned into Mike and sniffed.

"Will, you're boiling." Mike sighed as he lifted Will out of the water and wrapped him in a towel. "I gotta get you to the hospital."

Will followed Mike into his bedroom, "Please no hospital." He whispered.

Mike got comfortable clothes out for Will and started drying him, "I know you hate the hospital love, but I need to get you there."

Will bit his lip to stop himself from crying as Mike slipped on the beanie, "I think I'm gonna be sick." Will mumbled as he ran into the bathroom again.

After Will had been sick Mike got him dressed and rushed him straight to the hospital.
