Bad Day (Mötley Crüe)

Sick For The Cure

Tommy rubbed Nikki's back as he heaved into the toilet. He held his hair back and wrapped his arms around Nikki's waist gently.

Nikki heaved in pain. He felt so close to passing out, from the pain, from being sick, from the withdrawal.

"Shh..." Tommy soothed. "S'okay baby... s'okay Nikki" He whispered.

"How-" Nikki sucked in a wet breath. "How come you're still-"

Tommy grimaced as Nikki got sick. He wasn't even sure what was left.

"How're you still here?" Nikki finally asked, flushing the toilet for the fifth time.

"You are hurting-"

"I'm sick" Nikki gasped as he got another sharp pain.

"You are hurting, and you are sick, I am here to take care of you" Tommy said endearingly. "You need water" he said.

He wandered into the main part of their motel room and found a cup, filling it with water, and returning back to Nikki.

Nikki collapsed into Tommy, his back flush with Tommy's chest. Tommy brushed the sweaty hair off of Nikki's forehead and held the cup up to Nikki's lips. Nikki slowly sipped the water, suddenly aware of how dehydrated he was.

"I wanna go home..." Nikki whined.

"I know baby... you need to feel better first. What can I do for you?" Tommy asked. He ran his hands through Nikki's hair.

Nikki didn't say anything. He just relaxed further into Tommy's hands, enjoying the soft touch and reassuring affection. Tommy loved him, he was starting to see that now.

"I love you..." Nikki whispered hoarsely.

"I love you too darling, so so much" Tommy said lovingly. He kissed Nikki's forehead. "How are you feeling?"

"Tired... like shit..." Nikki groaned.

"Do you want a bath? A nap? A cool bath might do you good" Tommy said gently.

"Yeah... I think I'll do that" Nikki said. "I feel fucking disgusting." He groaned.

Tommy cooed lovingly. He turned the tap on lukewarm water, letting the tub fill. He went to stand up and walk out of the bathroom, but Nikki weakly grabbed onto his calf. He looked up at Tommy, letting his head rest on Tommy's knee. Tommy smiled softly and reached down, petting Nikki's hair.

"You want me to stay?" He asked.

"Yes please..." Nikki said meekly.

"Okay, baby, I will stay" He smiled warmly. "I am going to call Mickey, he is worried about you" he said.

"Okay..." Nikki said. He looked up at Tommy with loving eyes, earning a loving smile back.

Tommy stepped out of the bathroom and Nikki started to attempt to get undressed. He pulled his shirt off and weakly laid it next to him. It took all of his energy to get his leather pants off, to the point where he could only get them to his knees. He sighed and sat on the floor until Tommy got back.

Tommy gave him a loving, but sad smile, and dropped on the floor in front of him. He slid Nikki's leather pants off his legs and put his pants and shirt up on the counter. He took all of Nikki's jewelry off and wiped his ruined makeup off. He didn't call Mick, he would do that later.

Nikki scrunched his eyebrows in confusion. He reached up and cupped Tommy's face, brushing his thumb across Tommy's bottom lip. It was cracked open.

"You're hurt... did I do that?" Nikki asked, clearly upset over it.

Nikki thrashed around all night. In the midst of a sobbing fit, he jerked his head aggressively towards Tommy, busting his lip open. Tommy squeaked in pain. He immediately brushed it off and held Nikki tighter. He sighed contently when Nikki started calming down. He rubbed Nikki's head and whispered sweet nothings in his ear. He pressed lazy kisses on Nikki's cheek, telling him how much he loved him.

"No no, it is okay, it does not hurt" Tommy caressed Nikki's face gently. He hummed. "Do you want to be fully undressed?" He asked, Nikki still in his boxers.

"Uhm..."

"I have more if you are worried" Tommy said.

"Okay..." Nikki said quietly. "Will you get in with me?" He asked, avoiding Tommy's eyes.

"Of course, baby, anything for you" Tommy kissed Nikki's cheek. "Let us get you in first"

Tommy helped Nikki in the bath and got him situated before joining him. The water felt a little cold for his liking, but he'd sit in a bath of ice water if it meant it would make Nikki feel better. Nikki sat between Tommy's legs, with his back flush with Tommy's chest, and their hands intertwined. Nikki rested his head in the crook of Tommy's neck.

Tommy cupped water in his hands and poured it over Nikki's chest and shoulders. He massaged his shoulders gently and his scalp, reaching to press kisses on his temples.

"Tommy..." Nikki whispered.

"Yes baby?" Tommy asked, brushing his lips against Nikki's forehead.

"M cold..."

"Do you want to go take a nap? Get warm?"

"Yes please..." Nikki said quietly.

"Okay" Tommy said endearingly. "Let me get dressed first, then I will help you. I have clothes you can wear"

"Thank you..." Nikki yawned.

"Then maybe, if you are feeling better, we can go out for food, I would like to have that first date again" Tommy said warmly.

"Mmm... I would too"

"Sit here, I will be back" Tommy said. He kissed Nikki's cheek before draining the tub and leaving the bathroom.

He returned a few moments later, dressed, and with a couple towels.

"Come here baby" Tommy threw a towel over his shoulder and held his hands out.

Nikki stood in the tub on shaky legs. Tommy held his hands as he stepped out and wrapped him up in a towel. With an arm around Nikki's back, Tommy walked him over to the bed and sat him down. He towel dried Nikki's hair, then his legs and back. He got Nikki into dry boxers and a pair of sweats. He let Nikki slip one of his hoodies on and helped him under the covers.

Tommy pulled him close and tangled their legs together, facing each other.

"Take a nap and warm up, darling Nikki, I will be here when you wake up" Tommy cooed softly.

"Thank you... I love you..." Nikki whispered.

"I love you too, baby, so so much. Go to sleep, sweet Nikki" Tommy whispered.

Nikki had scooted his way onto Tommy's chest, tucking his head into his neck, and falling asleep rather quickly.

Tommy hummed warmly and shot a quick text to Mick, who was glad to hear from him again, and let him know that Nikki should be good to come home tomorrow.

"They love you so much... just as much as I do" Tommy whispered. "Especially Vinny, he loves Mick, but he really loves you too"
