Being Sick

*Spencer's POV*

I hated being sick. It was torture! And I was always the center of attention. Not that I didn't like Leo being so worried, it was so damn adorable. I just didn't like the attention. I'm used to seeing him a few times a week, now all of a sudden he's constantly at my side. It's gonna take some getting used to.

"Spence?"

Leo's back. He probably brought me more food for me not to eat.

"Hey," I said quietly.

He handed me a plate with toast on it. I simply looked at it.

"Spence, you need to eat," he whispered.

"I'm not hungry," I replied, pushing the plate away.

Leo sighed. "Spencer, you need to eat something. You haven't eaten for two days!"

I sighed, knowing he wouldn't give up. I pulled the plate back to me and nibbled on it a little.

After a while, I started to feel tired. Leo obviously noticed. He laid down on his bed next to me and I was asleep within seconds.

*Katelyn's POV*

Being sick sucked. It had been three or four days and my cold wasn't getting any better. Raph was constantly worried about me, since me getting sick was the worst thing that could happen to me. Since I was still weak and fragile from being imprisoned by Shredder, my body couldn't fight the cold as well.

"How are you feeling, Katelyn?" Raph asked.

I sneezed. "No better," I replied. I sneezed again before I started coughing.

Raph looked at me with concern in his eyes. "You're getting worse."

I shook my head. "I'm-" I stopped and broke into a coughing fit. "Im fine," I said when I finished coughing.

Raph gave me look like, "really?"

I sighed and turned my head away.

"Katelyn," Raph said quietly. "Look at me."

I keep my head turned away. I couldn't bare to see the sadness in his eyes.

"Katie, look at me." I felt his hand turn my face towards him.

"What's wrong?" He asked, seeing the tears brimming in my eyes.

"I just feel like I'm a burden. First I take you away from your family, then I get sick. I feel like... Like I'm in the way," I told him, my tears threatening to overflow.

Raph sighed. "Listen, Kate. I've told you before, and I'll tell you again. You are not a burden. You are the love of my life. No one is going to hurt you anymore and I promise you, that you are not keeping me from anything. You are perfect in every way, and don't you forget that. Okay Princess?"

I smiled a little at the sound of my nickname before sneezing and coughing again.

Raph covered me with a blanket and kissed my forehead. "Get some sleep."

I laid down and fell asleep within seconds.
