Life as We have never Known

A Pot and a lid (2)

Kamol woke up to a ringing... he rushed to grab the phone before it would woke Kim up...

"Mr. Kamol... How are you doing? Is Kim Ok? His father called and let me know he was ill and I would need to see him at the company..."

It was May... Kamol waited till she stopped the flood of questions to answer her... untangling himself from Kim and taking a couple of steps away from the bed so that he doesn't wake Kim up... He needed his rest... desperately...

"He is ill... Feverish and such... The doctor checked him over... He needs to rest for a few days..."

"Don't tell me he has been overworking himself again?"

"He did... and I let it run because I knew how important that contract was to you guys..."

May hummed... She hang up shortly after letting Kamol know that she would handle the matter and that he shouldn't let Kim out of his sight... at all... because the first thing he would do would work himself till he got admitted to the hospital this time...

Kamol wanted to argue that Kim was most likely not waking up soon, let alone work... but that was for him to know...

He turned back to bed to see his partner still asleep despite the commotion... He went back to bed and touched his forehead softly... His fever was slightly better, no longer burning up and down.... but still there nonetheless...

Kamol collected him in his arms and covered both of them... He loved taking care of Kim, whether it was aftercare of having sex with him or just taking care of him in general... the entire notion of making sure Kim was thriving filled him with satisfaction...

Kamol's hand came up to tangle in Kim's hair... combing through it softly... before resting on his nap... Kim nuzzled Kamol's neck where he was lying his head before his eyes fluttered open...

"Awake, Love?"

Kim hummed... His eyes opened and closed sluggishly... he tried to raise his body to meet Kamol's gaze but Kamol pushed him back down...

"You should be resting... Go back to sleep..."

"Where are we?"

"Home... I found you feverish in the office..."

"I don't remember... My head is too heavy..."

Kamol dropped a kiss on Kim's hair... He tried to detangle himself from Kim to grab his painkillers but Kim whined softly and held tighter into him...

"I am not going anywhere, just grabbing the medicine from the nightstand..."

Kim let him go but not without pouting... Kamol chuckled at him... he popped out two tablets before touching Kim's lip softly and telling him to open... Once he placed them on his tongue, he lowered a glass of water to his lips and raised Kim's head to drink... coaxing him to drink the entire glass before lowering his head back on the pillows...

"It should work shortly... but you desperately need to rest..."

"I am cold... you should hug me..."

Kamol shook his head fondly before joining Kim back in bed, Kim wrapped his body around Kamol, humming like a pleased cat.... his breath evening out shortly....

Kamol kept carding through his hair, just keeping a silent vigil over him...

-----

Next Time Kim woke up, He was alone in bed...

He sat up and tried to get his bearings, he remembered figments of what happened, the office and then a moving car and he clearly remembered Kamol giving him medication and asking him to rest...
