"Hi" Connor whispered, leaning into Wills chest
"Ready to go home?" Will asked, running a hand through Connor's brown hair
"Yea, I'm cold" Connor whispered, keeping his face hidden in his boyfriend's chest
"I'm not surprised baby boy, you're wearing scrubs and no jumper, it's the middle of winter" Will chuckled, pushing Connor away slightly so he could help the smaller man into the thick hoodie
"Is Ethan coming home with us too?" Connor asked quietly, pulling the hood of the jumler over his head to keep his ears warm
"Yea, he's gone to get the car" Will smiled, pressing a gentle kiss to Connors head, frowning as he felt the start of a fever
"Ok" Connor whispered, taking Wills hand and walking with the man out of the hospital
"Are you feeling ok baby?" Will asked, stopping to look at Connor properly
"Just cold" Connor smiled, but his eyes told the full picture, they were glassed over with the growing fever and his body had a small tremble running through
"Are you sure baby boy, you feel like you've got a fever" Will said, guiding Connor towards the truck that they all shared
"Fine Will" Connor whispered, clutching his oldest boyfriends hand tightly
"Ok, as long as you're sure" Will sighed, he knew how stubborn his youngest lover was and also knew not to question too much other wise he'd shut down
Will opened the passenger side, helping Connor climb into the back and watching him buckle up before he climbed into the front beside Ethan who smiled at the pair.
"What do you want for dinner babe?" Ethan asked as he started the drive home
"I'm not hungry" Connor mumbled, curling up as best he could
"You ok baby boy?" Ethan asked, looking at Connor through the mirror with a worried smile
"Just cold" Connor muttered, pulling Will's thick hoodie around him to keep the heat in
"We'll get you warmed up, but you need to eat" Will said softly
Connor stayed silent, closing his eyes and allowing the soft vibration of the car to soothe him to sleep. The older pair looked at each in with worry in their eyes, usually when Connor got sick he ended up being admitted purely because his immune system had been shot to hell after contracting Covid two years ago.
"I'll take him for a shower, you get food ordered" Ethan said quietly
"What shall I order?" Will asked, unbuckling his seatbelt as they pulled into the house they shared
"Something easy, chinese, some egg fried rice and some chicken" Ethan said, smiling softly at his red headed lover
"You want your usual?" Will asked, leaning over the console to kiss Ethan softly
"Yes please" was all Ethan replied, pressing a deeper kiss to Will, pulling a moan from the man
Will pulled away before it got heated, looking back to see Connor still asleep but it was obvious that his fever was slowly rising. He got out the car, making sure to move slowly and quietly so the he didn't disturb the sleeping man. Ethan turned to look at Connor, slipping out the door and walking around to the side that held Connor.
"Baby boy, can you wake up for me" Ethan asked softly, unbuckling Connor and gently rubbing the mans back gently
"Ethan" Connor whimpered, eyes staying closed but a few tears dropped from the corner of his eyes
"Hey baby boy, let me see those pretty eyes" Ethan whispered, wiping Connors eyes gently
"My head hurts" Connor whimpered, slowly opening his eyes and focusing on his lover with tear filled eyes
"Anything else?" Ethan asked softly, helping Connor sit up, his legs coming to dangle over the edge of the car
"I'm cold, and I just don't feel good" Connor cried, leaning forward so he was resting against Ethans chest
"No more tears baby boy, come on, inside and I'll get you in a warm shower" Ethan soothed, helping Connor out of the car and guiding him into the warm house
"I want Will too" Connor coughed, his eyes searching for the red headed man
"Ok, let's get you upstairs and I'll get him to join us" Ethan smiled, wrapping an arm around Connor and helping him up the stairs towards the bathroom
"Will" Connor whimpered, seeing his oldest lover stood by the bath which was running
"Come on baby, get undressed and we'll have a bath, all three of us" Will smiled, taking his own scrub top off and revealing his toned stomach
"Help me" Connor asked quietly, his hands were trembling too much to undress himself
Ethan walked over, gently pushing the hood of the jumper down and then lifting Connor's hands and pulling the thick hoodie off his smaller boyfriend's body. Once the hoodie was off, Connor wrapped his arms around his body as the shivering intensitified; Will turned back to the bathtub, dropping in a lavender bath bomb.
"Hold onto my shoulders baby" Ethan whispered, crouching down and helping Connot step out of his scrub pants and underwear
"I'm so cold" Connor sniffled, he was now naked standing in the middle of the bathroom
"Bath's ready, in you get" Will spoke, helping his small lover into the warm water
Ethan had now also undressed, and watched as Will climbed in behind Connor, allowing the smaller man to lean into his chest. Connor's body was still tense, and so Ethan climbed in so he was facing Will and Connor.
"Is that better?" Ethan asked
"Yea, I don't want to go to work tomorrow" Connor whispered
"That's fine baby boy, can have a day in bed, the three of us, movies and snuggles" Will said, kissing Connors neck gently, smiling softly as he felt that the fever was reduced slightly
"He's falling asleep, think it's time to get him to bed" Ethan said, standing up slowly and climbing out the bath, reaching for the fluffy towel and helping Connor stand on shakey legs
"Ethan" Connor yawned, stumbling out of the bath and into Ethan's arms
"I've got you baby boy" the older man whispered, tightly wrapping the towel around Connors naked body and kissing the unwell mans head gently
Will had unplugged the bath, and was now dressing himself into a pair of sleep pants, he had also picked up a pair of pants of Connor, handing them to Ethan who helped the tired man into them.
"Let's get into bed" Will smiled, pushing Connor into the bed and climbing in beside him
"I'm going to get us some water" Ethan said, leaning down, kissing both Will and Connor gently
Connor was curled up tightly against Wills side, his eyes battling to stay open as he fought the need to sleep. He wanted both his lovers next to him, but the need for rest was slowly becoming more powerful.
"Sleep baby boy" Will whispered, moving so he was now lying down with Connors head on his chest
"Ethan" Connor sniffled
"I'm here beautiful, now close those eyes and get some rest" Ethan whispered, climbing in behind Connor and pulling the duvet over the smaller mans body
"Love you" Connor whispered, and the two older men sighed as they felt their youngest lover untense and his breathing even out as he finally fell asleep
