In Sickness

Chapter 2

I woke up to my phone going off. I looked at the time. 3 a.m. Who could be calling me at 3 in the morning? I answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, did I wake you?"

"Yea, but what's up?"

"Just got out of the doctor's office. They said it's just a simple cold and that I should take it easy for a few days"

"Well that's good. How long is a few days?"

"3 or 4" he said with an irritated tone

"So more than you would like I'm guessing"

"Yea. I wanna get back to the viewers"

"I know you do but you need to take care of you"

"Yea, yea I know"

I felt myself falling asleep. I could barely keep my eyes open, letalone pay attention to what he was saying.

"Mark? What time is it over there?"

"3 in the morning"

"Oh fuck. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to call you this early. Guess I didn't factor the time difference"

"It's fine. But, I'm gonna go back to sleep unless you still wanna talk"

"No, no. Go to sleep. I love you"

I smiled. "I love you too"

Then I hung up and set my phone on the bed side table. I laid there staring at the ceiling for a bit then I finally fell asleep again.

When I woke up again it was with my alarm. 6:30 a.m. I groaned and shut the alarm off. I grabbed my phone and checked Twitter to see all of the supportive comments on Sean's page. He hadn't put what he had on there though.

I decided to called him. I went to my recent calls and clicked the call button on his name. After a few rings he answered.

"Hey"

"Hey. I was just on Twitter. Everyone's really understanding about you taking a few days off"

"Yea I saw that too. I haven't gotten around to letting them know that it's just a simple cold"

"I saw that too"

I heard a sigh. He must be bored out of his mind over there.

"Hey Mark?"

"Hm?"

"Do you think I could come stay with you for a few days? I mean I'm not contagious or anything so it's not like I'll get you sick. Besides I'm so bored"

"Of course you can come visit me"

"Good"

"Good?"

"Yea, I'm already at the air port on my way"

"Short notice much?" I chuckled.

"I love you"

"I love you too"

"See you in a few hours"

"Alright. See you in a few hours"

Then he hung up. He was flying out here to see me! I was so happy. Of course he was sick but like he said, he's not contagious. I smiled at the thought of getting to see him in person.

I went to my computer and set up my recording stuff. Might as well record some stuff to pass the time. I loaded up a new horror game that just came out and hit record.

After I recorded that I edited it and uploaded it. I checked the time. Sean should be here soon. Then my phone went off. It was a text from Sean.

From: Sean
Hey I'm at the air port. Can you come get me?

From: Mark
Of course. Be there in a few minutes

I put my phone in my pocket and grabbed my keys. I got in my car and drove to the air port. I saw Sean standing outside waiting. I pulled up in front of him and he got in.

"Hey"

"Hello"

"What have you been doing while you were waiting"

"Recording, editing. YouTube stuff"

He starting coughing into the sleeve of his hoodie. He kept coughing for a bit. When he stopped he looked at me.

"Sorry. So you've been doing normal YouTube stuff while waiting?"

"Basically" I said as I pulled up to my house.

Sean grabbed his bags and followed me inside. I showed him around and he put his bags in the guest bedroom.

"You can always stay in my room with me if you want to"

He smiled. I loved his smile. I loved everything about him. I loved him.

"Do you think I could use your recording stuff?"

"You need to rest"

"Just a quick vlog. To let them know I'm ok and I don't have anything serious"

"I guess. I'm gonna be there with you though just to make sure you don't over do it"

"That's fine"

He went to the recording room and set up the camera and microphone. He sat in the chair that I normally sit in. I sat next to him. He hit record and high fived the camera.

"Top of the morning to ya laddies my name is Jacksepticeye and holy fuck I look like shite. Anyway, this is just a quick vlog to let you guys know that i have a cold and will be taking the next few days off from YouTube. And if you haven't noticed I'm staying with Markiplier"

I waved at the camera.

"Well I guess I should wrap this up"

He started coughing. He coughed for a bit then looked back at the camera.

"Thank you so much for watching. If you liked this video then punch that like button in the face like a boss and high fives all around"

He high fived the camera again.

"Thank you guys for watching and I will see all you dudes in the next video!"

Then he stopped the recording. After he stopped the recording he started coughing again. Once he stopped coughing he looked at me, he looked paler than he did the other day.

"Go lay down and rest, I'll edit the video then upload it to your channel"

He nodded before getting up and leaving the room. I edited the video then logged onto his channel and posted it. I decided not to edit out the coughing fit. Although he probably would have.

I went to my room and decided that maybe I should get some sleep since it was pretty late. When I walked into my room I saw Sean laying in my bed asleep. I smiled. I went and laid down beside him and wrapped him up in my arms. I fell asleep soon after.
