Talk To Me

Chapter 5: ...He Did

A/N I'm really sorry everyone. I was going to upload yesterday but after I saw that the original chapter 5 had been deleted it sort of knocked the wind out of my sails. I spent ages trying to find it but it has vanished. If anyone can still see it and there ends up being two could you let me know? It sucks because it was really cute, but this is what I think was in it so without further a due lets go!

I slowly opened my eyes, squinting in the muted light coming from the TV, while the rest of the room was in darkness. I was confused and trying to work out why I was in the lounge room when I felt something shift next to me. I looked down to see a sleeping Dan lying next to me. I smiled as I realised that we must have fallen asleep during the movie night we had decided to have after coming back from seeing the guys. Dan slowly woke up, blinking adorably at me in confusion. I internally awed at his cuteness. Then he shifted again I realised he was shivering.

"Whats wrong Dan? Scared?" I asked, knowing he hated the dark. He shook his head. "Cold?" He nodded and snuggled into me. I gently pulled one arm out from under his and felt his forehead. "Jesus you're freezing!" I exclaimed when I felt his icy skin. I quickly got off of the couch, to Dan's wordless protests, and grabbed a blanket from the end. I wrapped it around him and gently picked him up, carrying him to his bedroom. My heart sank at how easily I could do this despite the fact that we were the same size. I quickly reminded myself though, that Dan wasn't as skinny as he used to be. No where near. I stopped outside his door and leaned down to kiss him gently. He accepted although he seemed a little confused after. I simply smiled at him and carefully put him down on his bed, under the covers.

I told you I'd get sick.

"Yeah you did." I laughed. "I'm going to go get you some food and medicine. Stay here, okay?"

I'm not hungry. he shakily scrawled.

"Too bad, you're sick and you need it." I insisted, laughing at his expression as I left the room. Ten minutes and a fair bit of mess later I came walking back in with a tray with some chicken soup and cold medicine on it. I carefully set it down on Dan's lap, trying not to spill it. He went to eat some soup but his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't hold the spoon. I smiled at him and took it from him. I held it to his lips and he blushed but complied. When the bowl was empty I moved the tray off and he snuggled down.

Will you stay with me? I grinned at him and slid into the bed, hugging him to me once again.

Thanks for putting up with me, Phil.

I firmly shook my head at him. "Don't talk like that, I like taking care of you."

You do?

"Yeah," I replied blushing. "It makes me fell important."

You are important. Really, really important to me, Phil.

"Thanks Dan," I whispered quietly as we were both drifting off. "You're really important to me too. I couldn't live without you."
