Stubbornly Ill

Tumblr Prompt- Zayn get's ill but tries to cover it around Niall, He fails and then allows Niall to take care of him.

Zayn was never the kind of person to admit when he was ill. Truth be told he hated feeling ill, It made him feel boring, Worthless, A burden. See whenever one of the boys is ill the rest sort of make a big deal out of it and make sure you have everything you need, Zayn hated when the boys made a fuss over him. The last time he was ill they forced him to stay in bed all day, He wasn't even aloud to get up and get a glass of water even though he was more then capable to do it, The boys were kind like that, But Zayn he didn't like making a big deal out of it. Which is why whenever he was ill he wouldn't tell the boys and he'd try to cover it up, He knew they would all worry about him, Especially Niall. Zayn cared alot for Niall, More then he actually should and he hated  seeing Niall upset or worried over something, He never told Niall when he was ill because he didn't want him worrying but today was different, Today Zayn had no idea how to cover it.

Zayn's Pov: 

I couldn't understand it, I was fine yesterday and now today I feel like I've been run over by a seven and a half ton lorry. My head was throbbing, My throat was dry, I was shaking uncontrollably, My stomach felt as though a rave was taking place, And above all else I was throwing up my insides every five minutes. I tried taking tablets but it didn't make a difference to me it felt like all they were doing was making me worse. I tried to ignore it thinking maybe it would pass in time, So I took a shower, However that failed to help. I felt absolutely terrible, I failed to see how bad I looked until I looked in my bathroom mirror, The site before me made me even more depressed.

"Great" I mumbled trying to make himself look a little more presentable.

"Zayn!" I cringed in pain hearing that all to familiar voice. I then quickly stood up straight so Niall wouldn't suspect anything.

"Zayn you re- Oh my God Zi, What's wrong?" Niall asked as he quickly rushed over to me. 

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You look terrible" Niall exclaimed with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Nialler! Your breaking my heart!" I fake gasped regretting it straight away.

"Zayn I'm being serious!" Niall said, I bit my lip before replying.

"I haven't slept much that's all Nialler, Boris was ill last night so he kept me up" I lied, I hated lying to Niall but seeing that worry in his eyes broke my heart. I couldn't have him worrying about me, Niall raised his eyebrow at me.

"Really?" He asked, I nodded my head. Niall smiled warmly before giving me a hug, I suddenly felt the urge to throw up but I kept it down as best I could.

"Come on the boys are waiting" Niall said before pulling away from me, I sighed before grabbing my baseball cap, Today we had loads of press interviews to do, We were promoting our new album and there was no way I was going to let the boys down, I took a deep breath before going to walk out the bathroom before suddenly a pain shot through my stomach, I groaned loudly before quickly turning around and hovering my head over the toilet just in time, Niall was by my side seconds later gently rubbing my back.

"Your ill" Niall whispered, I shook my head before throwing up once again. "Zayn you were always a crap liar, Besides it's not hard to tell, You look like shit, You have bags under your eyes and your breath sort of stinks real badly" Niall stated

"Thanks alot Nialler" I joked before rinsing my mouth out with some mouthwash, Niall sighed from beside me. 

"Come here" Niall said as he held out his arms, I didn't argue with him, I just turned around and cuddled into Niall's arms straight away feeling that small bit better. "You ready to go back to bed?" Niall asked, I shook my head.

"We've got interviews to get to" I mumbled, Niall sighed.

"Zayn your ill you can't actually be serious" Niall stated, I shrugged my shoulders.

"You stayed out with us boys when you had food poisoning so why can't I do the same?" I said before slowly walking out the room. 

I must have slept the whole journey to the interview, We'v been here for a couple of hours, My heads slowly getting better but I wish I could say the same for my stomach. We've been sitting under headlights and I hate to say this but I'm sweating like a pig, Every few minutes I get the urge to throw up again but I'm trying to keep my cool by smiling and taking a few sips of water. When we finished up yet another interview I took the time to quickly rush to the toilets, I quickly rushed into the stall before hunching over the toilet and throwing up once again, I then felt a hand gently rubbing my back.

"It's ok Zi, Get it all out buddy" Niall's voice sounded in my ears, I sighed before flushing the toilet.

"Maybe I am a little ill" I mumbled, Niall chuckled before handing me a bottle of water.

"Why didn't you just admit that?" Niall asked.

"I didn't want to feel like a burden, I didn't want you to worry about me or think I was weak" I replied, Niall shook his head.

"I'd never think that of you Zayn" Niall said, I sighed before nodding my head.

"Come on let's get you home" Niall stated.

"Stay with me?" I asked, Niall smiled before nodding his head.

"Of course I will"

Niall kept this word, He looked after me and made sure I got everything I needed, But he also gave me plenty of room to breathe allowing me to go and get whatever I was able to, He didn't baby me or make me feel like a patient in a hospital he just cuddled me, The whole time he did I wasn't thinking about being sick, I was thinking about being in Niall's arms, About how perfectly I fit there, Maybe I should get ill more often.
