Nick rolled out of bed in a pool of sweat. Ew gross, he thought to himself. He dragged himself down stairs with his sheets in hand to change them out.

'Good morning!' Matt said, excited for the day ahead.

Nicks head pounded at each word he said.
'morning. Can you keep it down? I have a piercing headache.'
Nicks voice sounded hoarse and he was very congested.

'sure, are you okay? And why have you got your sheets? You only changed them 2 days ago?'

shit. Nick couldn't let Matt know he was sick. They had a busy day ahead that Matt had been looking forward to for weeks.

'mhm I'm fine. Um I'm changing them because....umm.'

'good morning!!' Chris sprints up his stairs and throws himself into Matt's arms.

'Good morning Chris!' Matt returns the excitement.

Nick took the opportunity while Matt was distracted and threw his sheets in the washer.

'What are you washing?' Chris asked
'just my bed sheets.' Nick groaned
'oh okay. Are you alright? You don't look too good.' Chris says, looking concerned.

'I'm fine.' Nick replied sharply 'just please keep your voice down, I've got a headache.'
'No problem.' Chris says.

'Here take this' Matt throws the ibuprofen at Nick and he catches it.

'Thank you' Nick says as he walks over to the sink to grab a water.

'what do you guys want for breakfast?' Matt asks.

'Achoooo!' Nick lets out a painful sneeze, leaving him rubbing his throat.

'Unfortunately, that's not on the menu this morning' Matt says, proud of his joke.
Nick shoots him a look.

'Bless you Nick.' Chris says sympathetically.
'Thank you Chris'
Nick stumbles over to the couch.

'soo breakfast?' Matt asks.
'Not hungry, thanks though' Nick says as he curls into a ball on the couch.

Chris approaches Nick with a concerned look on his face.
'Are you ok-

Chris is cut off by another sneeze.
'bless you' Chris says while placing his hand on nicks forehead.
Nick sniffles.
'Sorry Chris, didn't mean to get ya' Nick says, wiping Chris's shirt.
'All good brother. Although, you do feel a bit warm. Matt chuck me the thermometer will you?'

Matt scrambles through the drawer and finally finds it. Matt walks up to the pair on the couch and sits the other side of Nick.

'Thanks Matt'
Chris put the thermometer in Nicks mouth until they hear the beep.
'102.3' Chris reads aloud.
'holy shit' Matt says concerned for his brother.
'We need to bring that down. Now.' Chris says sprinting towards the kitchen looking for a cloth. Meanwhile Matt stays with Nick patting his back while Nick coughs harshly, hoping it will make him feel cared for.

'Thanks Matt' Nick groaned after his coughing subsides.
'For what bud?' Matt replies staring into Nicks eyes.
'Everything.' Nick going into Matt's arms and he sobbed.

Matt held Nick while he cried.
'You're gonna be okay Nick, yk that right?' Matt cooed, trying to reassure his brother.
'mhm' he replied as he drifted off to sleep.
