[Chapter #10 {Final}: Two Sick Days]

Day: Tuesday
Time: 3:17pm.

JASON'S P.O.V:

Jason was sick. Literally, all day, he was constantly coughing and sneezing, and he could hardly focus when his head felt like it was spinning as fast as the speed of light.

Since he was sick, everyone let him off and Will told him to stay in bed and get some sleep, and that's what he was doing.
He was laying in his bed, bored out of his mind. He couldn't tell if the sensation of being bored was worse than his headache.

Than he heard a knock on his cabin door,
"Come in!" He shouted, and then he immediately regretted it when his head started banging harder and he started coughing.
"Hey Jase, How are you feeling?" Leo said, peaking his head inside.

It was strange, Leo for some reason seemed to be keeping his distance from Jason, he would come over to his cabin to talk to him and check up on him, but he would stay by the the door or sit on the other bed in the cabin across from his.
Infact, this morning, when Jason woke up and told Leo he felt sick, Leo looked freaked out. But he doubted it was from him being worried about Jason. The conclusion Jason had come to, was that Leo didn't want to get sick. But when Leo was sick, Jason always snuggled with him, even if he would get sick from it, though he didn't want to. So he didn't understand why Leo was being so distant.

"I'm feeling horrible." Jason said.
"Oh, sorry to hear that. Do you want me to get you more ambrosia?" Leo asked.
"No, thanks. But y'know...it would help if a certain small brunette boy came and cuddled with me." Jason said, looking up to take a cautious glance at Leo.
Leo was blushing, but he didn't look any more eager to come over and hug Jason.
"Please~" Jason begged.
"No! Sorry, but I am not getting sick." Leo said.
Jason sat up.
"C'mon, just a hug, it'll only be for a second."
"No way Jase! I am not going over there!" Leo took a step back.
Jason put his legs down on the floor,
"Please Leo, I always cuddle with you when you're sick." He pouted.
"That's your choice. I never told you to cuddle me when I'm sick." Leo said.
Jason got up, he ignored his head banging, begging him to lay back down.
Leo looked at him cautiously.
"What are you doing..?..." He asked.
Jason held out his hands,
"Please Leo, I won't get you sick." He said.
"No way! You don't know that!" Leo shouted at him.
"A No is a No Jase! I'm not cuddling with you!"
Jason pouted, he took a step closer to Leo.
Leo took another step back.
"No Jase. Go lay back down." Leo said, beckoning to his bed.
Jason's head hurt, but he wasn't going to give up on getting Leo to cuddle with him, his bed would be even better with Leo there.
Jason stepped closer.
"Jase..." Leo warned.
Jason bolted.
Leo tried to run away, but Jason was quicker (thanks to his training), and grabbed him.
Leo kept kicking and squirming,
"Jase!! Let me go!" Leo shouted.
"No!! I just wanna cuddle." Jason begged.
Leo stopped kicking, he turned around and hugged Jason.
"There. I hugged you, now let me go." Leo said.
Jason wrapped his arms around Leo's waist, and scooped him up.
"Jase!" He protested, but Jason didn't let him go.

He walked over to his bed and set Leo down, then snuggled in close with him.
Leo tried to push him off 10? 20 times? It was hard to tell.
But eventually, he calmed down and let Jason cuddle with him.
"I swear," He said,
"If you get me sick, I am so going to kill you. And it'll be slow and painful, just like being sick." Leo threatened.
Jason couldn't help but smile and laugh.
"Ok Baby." He said, before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

~ The Next Morning ~
Day: Wednesday
Time: 7:27am.

Jason woke up feeling a lot better, he still had a headache, but his body didn't hurt and so far he hadn't coughed or sneezed.

He looked over at the small boy laying next to him, curled up and snuggling into the blankets.
Jason smiled.
Eventually, the small boy stretched and yawned, and then sat up rubbing his eye.
Immediately he looked angry,
*There's no way he's still mad at me for simply cuddling with him yesterday.* Jason thought.
"Hmmm..." He grumbled, he started to rub his forehead.
"My head hurts." He said, glaring at Jason.
"Great! Mine too, now we're twins!" Jason said smiling, trying to avoid death.
Leo sneezed.
*Uh oh..* Jason thought.
"Jason, I swear on The Gods, if you got me sick-" Leo sneezed again.
"Uh, it's probably just allergies.." Jason said.
Leo glared at him.
"There aren't any plants. Jason, I am so gonna kill you!" Leo said grabbing Jason's arms.
Jason pulled him into a tight hug,
"Nonsense! C'mon babe, you don't wanna hurt me."
Leo sneezed and coughed, before pulling away.
"No more cuddles for three weeks!" Leo said, crossing his arms.
"Awe, y'know that's just beating yourself up. You love my cuddles!" Jason said, smiling.
Leo glared at him and then hit him in the arm.
"Ow!!" Jason exclaimed,
"That's what you get! You got me sick!" Leo said.
"Baby~ I'm sorry.." Jason said.
"No you aren't!"
Leo got up and immediately stormed off.
Jason sat there in bed, the room suddenly becoming a lot more colder.

~ Time Skip ~
Time: 3:10pm.

Jason was walking towards the workshop, to apologize to Leo again.
He had been avoiding him most of the day, which if he was still sick would have been normal, but clearly he was mad at him.
He had tried talking to him at breakfast and lunch, but he just stormed off.

He made it to the front step of the workshop and knocked.
No answer.
He opened the door and peeked inside.

There was a small brunette, snuggled deep into blankets and sitting up on his bed, with three heaters pointed at him from different directions.
When he noticed Jason, he immediately yelled,
"Get out!!"
Jason couldn't help but smile and laugh.
Leo blushed.
"Shut up, Jason!" He yelled,
"Get out!!" He repeated.
"Y'know, Leo, if you were cold you could've came and cuddled with me." Jason said.
"No! We're not cuddling! Cuddling you made me sick!"
Jason laughed,
"C'mon! It isn't my fault! I can't control who my sickness spreads to!"
"It is your fault! If you didn't insist on cuddling with me, I wouldn't be here! I wouldn't be sick!!" Leo shouted at him.

Jason walked over to him, and in response, he immediately scuttled backwards and leaned on the wall.
"Go away!" He said,
But Jason just kept walking towards him.
He got into bed with the brunette, and grabbed him.
He didn't complain, or shout, or kick, so Jason took it as permission to cuddle him.
He turned off all the heaters, and slipped two of the blankets off of Leo so that there was only one and he wouldn't overheat.
He pulled Leo closer and cuddled with him, putting his head on his, and gently rubbing his back.
"I hate you." Leo said.
Jason chuckled,
"Than why are you letting me cuddle you?"
"In hopes you get sick again from me." Leo said.
"Wow. Rude." Jason commented.
Silence.

"Leo?" Jason said.
He looked down at the brunette, and he was fast asleep.
Jason smiled, he layed Leo down and snuggled with him.

"I love you, Leo."
