"Babe," Cameron groans.
"Yeah? What's up?" Aaron replies.
"I don't feel so good."
"Why?"
"Because you're still doing work instead of cuddling with me," Cam states.
"Cam, just because you're done doesn't mean everyone else is. This project was supposed to take a couple months but I guess 3 weeks is also an amount of time. Should've put more effort in."
"I showed the project to Professor Dalton and he said it looks good so I'm gonna chill and make corrections later," Cam says, staring intently at his boyfriend, who's working hard on a project that isn't due for a month.
"Well I'd like to just get everything right the first time, it would give me more confidence in my work."
"Babe," Cam whines. "It's so late, please. I wanna hold you."
"Just let me finish this, okay? I'll be there in a sec, don't worry. I want you to hold me too."
Aaron gets no response but keeps going with his work. The project they have to do is on science, which is a very special subject for both of them. It's where they were paired up first and did their first project together. This project is a solo project where they were both given their own specific assignment. Cameron offered to help the love of his life with his project but just like in high school, Aaron's pride denied any chance of that. They both know he can do it himself, but Cameron could easily cut down the time it would take for Aaron by at least 2 weeks.
"Babe?" Aaron calls out. He gets no answer from Cameron again.
Aaron looks up and sees Cameron's big body sprawled out all over the bed, the gorgeous blonde sleeping. It makes sense. It's late as hell, and if Aaron didn't suddenly feel the need to get a bunch of his project done, he'd be in bed with his boyfriend right now.
Aaron keeps working hard, getting a considerable amount of the project done before he eventually collapsed on the couch behind him, never actually making it to his and Cameron's bed.
Aaron woke up first, which surprised him because Cam fell asleep so much earlier than he did. Aaron gets up and walks over to Cam, who's still sleeping.
"Baby," Aaron says softly. "Baby, wake up."
Cam doesn't answer, instead turning onto his side away from Aaron.
Aaron groans and decides that if his boyfriend is getting extra sleep then he should also be getting extra sleep. He takes the opportunity to be the big spoon, wrapping his arms around Cam's waist and kissing his neck.
A couple more hours go by before Aaron wakes up again, noticing that Cameron is tossing and turning a lot in his arms.
"Cam, baby, what's wrong?" He asks.
"I feel not good," Cam replies.
"What doesn't feel good?"
"I have a headache and I think I have a fever."
Aaron turns Cameron onto his back and places the back of his hand on Cam's forehead, feeling his body temperature.
"Cam, your forehead is really hot," he states.
"What part of me don't you find hot?"
"No, I'm saying you definitely have a fever. You shouldn't go to class today," Aaron tells Cameron.
