You Pretty Little Liar
Chapter 2
A Little Bit Of Company

Ezra woke up a few hours later, was just about time for everyone to start waking up. He still felt miserable but could feel that the medicine was working. He needed to test his theory before putting his game into action. He smirked to himself and started moaning and groaning.

"Huh wha.... Ezra?" Zeb woke up as he heard his sick roommate in distress. "What is it? What's wrong? Are you ok?"

"Zeb." Ezra cracked open an eye, he was curled up on a ball.

"You still look pretty terrible kid." Zeb ruffled his damp hair.

"Water. Can you get me some water, please?" He squeezed his eyes shut and grimaced.

"No prob I'll be right back." Zeb rushed out of the room.

Ezra waited a few moments after the door closed to be sure he was gone, "Hmmm well looks like it worked. Guess my acting skills are still pretty good." He smirked to himself and closed his eyes, planning on how he could use this to his advantage.

Zeb came back into the room, "Here ya go, drink up. Gotta keep hydrated."

"Thanks Zeb." Ezra struggled to roll over.

"Wait, don't over exert yourself." Zeb put a hand behind his back and helped him sit up.

"That's better, thank you for helping." Ezra took the water and drank it thirstily.

"Probably time for your next round of meds, I'll go see if Kanan and Hera are awake." Zeb turned to go.

"You're the best Zeb." Ezra laid back down. Yeah this would work out nicely, he would be feeling better in no time now, only he would be feeling even better when he continued to get babied by the crew.

Not long after Kanan came in, still looking a half asleep and disheveled. "Hey Ezra."

"Kanan." Ezra mumbled and buried his face his pillow.

"It's time for more medicine. Are you feeling any better."

"A little...." At least that part wasn't a lie. Ezra rolled over and looked at Kanan, feeling a little bad when he saw how stressed and exhausted he looked, he must've been really worried about him all night, it made Ezra feel a little bit guilty. "Kanan, did you give me the new ice pack during the night?"

"Yeah. Couldn't really sleep." Kanan was saying as he got the meds ready. "Was worried about you, came in to check on you at one point when you were having stress dreams and figured you could use a new one, you were thrashing around pretty bad in your sleep, I got worried."

"Oh, wow, thank you." Ezra was a little blown away by his master's level of concern, he took the pills and the cup of jogan juice Kanan had added the fever reducer too.

"You do look a little bit better, let me check your temperature."

"I got it." Ezra grabbed the thermometer from him and put it in his mouth thoughtfully, he did feel better but was starting to feel a little bad about his plan to trick them by being sick. He would recover from this but milk it just a little bit before he 'relapsed' so at least he could let them rest and he could not feel so guilty. The thermometer beeped and Ezra looked at it before handing to Kanan. "Is that good?"

Kanan grabbed it and looked at the result and smiled, "Still pretty feverish but much better, thankfully the medicine is helping."

"Good, because it still tastes bad." Ezra smirked as he drank the jogan juice, and that was a good point he hadn't considered, he would have to figure out ways to hide taking any nasty meds while he was pretending to be sick down the line. But in the meantime he would keep on them as he got well for real this time. "Thanks Kanan." Ezra suddenly looked a little guilty. "Hey uhh master?"
