Sturniolo Triplets Sickfics + Oneshots

Im fine. Pt 2

(sorry! I forgot to post last night, enjoy!)

'When he gets up in the morning, I'll take his temperature and if it's too high we will take him to the doctors okay?' Chris said, trying to comfort his brother.
'Okay.' Nick replied meekly.

Nick and Chris fell asleep next to each other on the couch and woke up to Matt coming into the living room and sitting down, he was breathing heavy and sweating.

'Morning Matt how are you..' Nick was cut off as he looked at Matt's state.
'I don't look good do I.' Matt groaned, his voice deep and hoarse.
'No. Not at all. Here let me take your temperature real quick.' Chris said, getting up from the couch and re approaching with a thermometer.
'Open up.'
They sat there awkwardly while they waited for the beep.
'102.5, Matt that's bad, any higher and we'll have to go to the hospital!' Nick exclaimed. 'Chris grab him some ice water and some cold cloths to put on him. Chris sprung into action and brought Matt everything he needed.
'Thank you.' He coughed.

They all sat together for the rest of the afternoon and Chris kept replenishing Matt's ice and cloths when necessary. Matt sneezed 3 times harshly into his elbow.
'Bless you' Chris said as he reached for the tissues.
Matt sniffed and took one. 'Thank you.'
'Let's re-take your temperature Matt. I'm still quite worried.' Nick said reaching for the thermometer again.
'okay.'

Nick placed it gently in his mouth and waited for the beep.
'101.8, perfect it's coming down.' Nick let out a sigh of relief and rested his head on Matt's shoulder.
'I'm fine Nick, see? No need to worry.' Matt whispered into nicks ear.
'mhm.'

The truth is, Nick had been up all night worrying about Matt and hearing him moving about in his room, wondering if he was okay. He didn't want to tell anyone though because he was a little embarrassed. Nicks thoughts were interrupted by another sneeze, this time from Chris.
'Bless you,' Matt said. 'Oh no, I didn't get you sick did I?' A worried look flushing over his face.
'Thanks, no you didn't, I dusted my room earlier.' He chuckled and Matt joined in. 'Good bro, you scared me!'

Matt fell asleep on Nicks shoulder and slept until mid afternoon. He awoke to an empty house. He texted Chris.

Chris <3

Chris?? Where are you guys?

Oh hey man! How are you feeling? We are out doing grocery shopping be home in 10!

Oh okay, yeah I'm feeling a little better, my temperature is down to 101 so that's always good.

That's great dude, talk later. See you soon.

Matt sighed as he placed his phone back on the couch and reached for the controller, even something as small as that caused him a coughing fit, with no one there to help him, it lasted a little longer. He was still coughing when Nick and Chris came through the garage 4 minutes later. Upon hearing the hacking from upstairs they dropped everything and ran up.
'Matt? Are you okay?!'
'Matt we're coming!!'

Matt continued to cough as his two brothers came into focus.
'I can't...breathe.' Matt spluttered.
Chris began rubbing his back and Nick ran to get Matt's inhaler. Matt didn't need his inhaler often so he always kept it in the same spot. 

'Okay Matt, try and take a deep breath for me.' Nick said softly, joining Chris in rubbing his back.
Matt finally calms down and manages to take a deep breath of the inhaler.
'Fuck.' Matt sighed, catching his breath. 'I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.' Matt said, a hot tear falling from his eye.
'Don't apologise!' Chris cut in. 'It's not your fault, are you okay?'
'Um yeah I think so, I'm gonna get some sleep if that's okay.'
'Absolutely Matt.' Nick said as he kissed Matt's forehead and went to go grab the shopping.

Matt was asleep by the time Nick and Chris had made it up the stairs and he continued to sleep until about 8pm. Chris wanted to wake him but Nick reminded him his much his body needed it.

Matt woke up and felt half decent. His body had finally decided to put up a fight during his 6 hour nap and he felt much better. He kept sneezing and coughing every so often but nothing he couldn't handle. Nick and Chris were so happy that Matt was feeling better again.
