I posted this on ao3 like a week ago but forgot to post it here, sorryy

Liam laid in bed, one of his hands placed on his nonexistent chest as he had a coughing fit. He looked miserable, having woken up tired, with a slight fever, and coughing up a storm. “You don’t have to go to the store Bryce, it’s just a cold. You have to go to work soon” he wheezed out after the fit stopped.
“It doesn't matter what it is,” the bottle started as he grabbed his phone from the table, keys already in hand “I’m not getting sick like you. I have work.”

“This is just basic empathy anyway, of course I'm going to help a sick roommate.” The bottle turned to the laptop that was also residing on the table. “Texty, make sure he doesn't die while i’m gone”

Liam huffed as Bryce walked out the door “I don’t need someone looking after me” He said before he had another coughing fit.

Liam felt slightly worse by the time Bryce came back. Byrce had come back very quickly, only taking around 20 minutes. He couldn’t help but light up when Bryce took out the cold medicine from the bag he was holding. He swiftly opened it, measured the right amount, and gave some to the backpack who looked as if he was being handed gold. Liam quickly chugged it, making a face at the taste, as Bryce took out the ramen he also bought.

He quickly grabbed a pot, filled it with water and put it on the stove. A welcome silence filled the air as they waited for the noodles to be finished, only being interrupted by Liam's coughing every once in a while. Once Bryce was done making the noodles he sprinkled in some more seasoning and transferred it into a bowl.
He very carefully maneuvered himself to his sick partner, placing the bowl onto the nightstand. “Try to eat some, even if you aren’t feeling hungry.” He instructed as he gave the backpack a quick peck on the forehead. “I hope you feel better soon, i’ll try to get off as early as I can”

He got up to move the laptop onto the bed with Liam “Make sure he doesn't do anything stupid” he said as he started to head to the door again. He sadly had to head to work, being as he was the only one with a job “Love you both”

“Love you too” ‘Bye gay boy!’
"Stop calling me that!" He called out in response before closing the door.

Liam was only able to take a few bites of the noodles he was given before he set it aside. He just wasn’t feeling hungry enough to eat anymore, not wanting to fight his coughing fits just to eat some more.
‘Are you feeling alright Liam?’
“I'm fine Texty” He reassured the laptop as he went into yet another coughing fit. They were starting to become more frequent and more rough.

‘Do I need to call Bry-’
“NO!” He quickly shouted between his coughs “No. I'm fine. Just call Amelia or Charlotte one of them should be awake by now”

‘If that’s what the sick boy wants’
He was disappointed when no one picked up but it was a Monday so it made sense since no one but him had free time. Just his luck that he had to be sick on the day no one would be able to keep him company.

He shivered as he laid down, deciding a nap would be better than being up and bored out of his mind.

When Liam woke up he somehow felt even worse, his brain lagging behind as he sat up and confusingly gathered his surroundings. Once he realized where he was he turned to say hello to Texty, who was watching cat videos. But before he could speak a word, he was sent into a violent coughing fit, spitting out mucus onto the floor.

There was a silence as the backpack shivered. ‘That’s one way to tell me your up’

“Ha ha” Liam wheezed out before putting a hand to his forehead, it was burning hot but he felt like he was freezing. “How long was I out”
‘Only around two or so hours. Are you sure you’re doing good, I’m pretty sure sleep is supposed to help colds’
