Falling With You

Chapter 5 - Sick Day

Warning: Vomiting/Fever, Panic Attacks/Snowtrapped Jumpscare 

Smg3 was awakened from his nap to hear groaning from underneath him. He slowly turned over and sat up, seeing Smg4 clutching his stomach and covering his mouth. "4..?" Smg3 asked, concerned for him. Smg4 only kept groaning, and Smg3 carefully got out of bed to kneel beside him. "Smg4, what's wrong..? Are you okay..?" he asked again. In response, Smg4 quickly got up and ran out of the room, startling Smg3. He was about to call for Smg4, but that's when he heard vomiting from a distance. Smg4 kept throwing up on the floor and coughing, even crying a bit. Smg3 slowly got up and made his way over to Smg4, kneeling beside him again, rubbing his back, and wiping any tears he had. After Smg4 was done, he laid on Smg3, and Smg3 immediately could tell his counterpart had a fever. "Shit.." Smg3 muttered under his breath, and got up with Smg4, taking him back to his room, then forced him into bed. Smg4 looked at him, looking pale and awful. "3..Y-You're injured.." he quietly said, and Smg3 just shrugged. "I'm sure I'll be fine not being babied by you for one day. Now shut up and sleep.." he said. Smg4 frowned and tried to get up, but Smg3 held him down. "Smg4. You're sick. And I mean fever sick. You need to try and rest.." Smg3 said, and Smg4 sighed, knowing he was right. 

Smg3 grabbed his spear and looked at Smg4. "I'm going to see if there's any better food for us and maybe some medicine. You'll be okay being alone for a bit..?" he asked. Smg4 really wanted to say no. He wanted- no, he needed Smg3 to stay with him. The thought of Smg3 being hurt while he was too sick to do anything to help scared him. He could be honest, but he didn't want to seem the clingy type. "I-I'll be fine.." he lied. Smg3 noticed his hesitation and rubbed his back. "I'll be alright 4. Don't worry about me." he reassured him. Smg4 still had a look of worry on his face, but he nodded, trusting Smg3 would know what he was doing. With that, Smg3 made his way out of the room, going on an adventure to secure the goods for his friend. 

----------------------------------------------------------

Smg4 kept constantly looking back and forth from the ceiling to the door. Smg3 still hadn't returned yet, and he was beginning to worry more and more by the minute. What if Smg3 collapsed from too much pain and couldn't move? What is something dangerous was attacking him? What if that TV figure took him? Too many thoughts kept popping in Smg4's head, and he was so close to just getting up and finding Smg3, but the constant throbbing headaches stopped him. Smg4 was very scared and was on the verge of having a panic attack. He hated this so much. He hated what he had done. He hated the unwanted thoughts about Smg3 being dead appearing in his mind. Sometimes he had wished the fall had killed him and Smg3, but he knew  it was selfish of him to even think that. Smg4 held himself and continued to shake. He thought he was so pathetic for only being able to just lay there in bed instead of doing anything useful to get him and Smg3 out of this mess. 

"4..?"

Smg4 opened his eyes and looked over, seeing Smg3 holding a small bag of supplies. He was safe, and that's all he cared about. "You're back..!" Smg4 said excitedly, but Smg3 frowned and walked over to him, cupping his face and wiping his tears, making Smg4 blush a bit. Smg4 didn't even realize he was crying. "Yeah, I'm alive..I found some canned soup, water bottles and some medicine for your fever..Also got me some painkillers too" Smg3 said with a small smile. Smg4 smiled back. Smg3 handed him some water and pills. "Drink up. I'm going to get this soup cooked up for us.." Smg3 said, and Smg4 nods, taking the pills and drinking some water. Smg3 gathered some rocks and anything flammable to set into a pile. After, he grabbed two other rocks and struck them together in hopes of getting a spark. Smg4 watched (and admired) him from his bed. Eventually, Smg3 started a fire, and grabbed a can of soup, starting to heat it up. Sure, he should've put the soup in a pot then placed the pot over the fire to effectively cook it better, but Smg3 only wanted to get the soup done as quickly as possible for his counterpart.
