Little Miss Reckless and Fire (Band Fan-fic)

Chapter 8

Someone's hand brushed across my forehead pushing my scruffy hair out of my face. I slowly opened my eyes to see a bare chested Tony laying next to me, concentration and concern etched into his features as he wiped a cool wash cloth across my forehead. A bead of sweat rolled down my neck but he wiped it off. "Good morning..." He sighed. "how do you feel?" 

"Like shit." I croaked.

He looked at me, a look of sympathy on his face. "Don't feel any better at all?"

I shrugged. "Maybe a little." I really couldn't tell. "Where's Vic?" 

"It's just Jaime and I today." Tony said. "Vic got called out on some business or something." 

I nodded. Tony wiped the cloth over my forehead again before propping his head up with his free hand. "Can we watch a movie or something?" I asked. 

"Toy Story?" Jaime's voice drifted in to my room. 

I laughed lightly before coughing and groaning. "Toy Story sounds good to me." I muttered shutting my eyes. 

I felt the bed shift as Tony got up. He picked me up bridal style and carried me out of the room and into the living room. I looked at the tattoos coloring his skin, intrigued by them. He gently set me down on the sofa next to Jaime who pulled me into his side. A few seconds later Tony came back with a glass of water and a couple pills plus a few snacks. He sat down on the open spot on the sofa and passed me the glass of water and medicine. I thanked him quietly and took it before he handed a small bowl of fruit. I stared at it with distaste. "I'm not hungry.." 

"At least take a couple bites." Tony sighed. "Please." 

Jaime rubbed his hand up and down on my arm as I shivered from my fever. "You need to eat a little. A little goes a long way." He murmured. 

Tony's eyes burned into mine. I frowned then sighed and took a grape in my fingers and popped it in my mouth. I looked at him again and he smiled faintly. "Thank you." He said. Jaime wore a childish grin as the movie started to play. 

I felt hungry and the grape even though I didn't want to admit it, did taste good. A few minutes later all the fruit in the bowl was gone. Tony and Jaime beamed, I felt my cheeks get hot with embarrassment. "That's a good sign." Jaime said. 

Tony nodded, his phone started ringing. I blinked at him frowning as I got colder without both Jaime and Tony sitting beside me. I guess my fever was worse than we all thought. I started shivering making Jaime squeeze me with both his arms in an attempt to keep me warm. "What?!" Tony snapped into the phone. Both Jaime and I jumped at his shocked and angry tone. "You've got to be fucking kidding me....alright. I'll tell Hime and Tyler...yeah, we'll be down in a bit." Tony sighed. He took off his snap-back and ran a hand through his hair as he shoved his phone back into his pocket. 

"Tone...what's happened?" I asked quietly. 

He turned and looked at us. "The studio was broken into." Jaime went tense and I gasped.

"How much did we lose?" Jaime asked grimly. 

"The two acoustics we left in there, several pedals, two amps and a lot of things are damaged. Mike said it looked almost like sabotage." Tony shook his head. "Mike asked if we could meet them down there. Do you feel well enough to come with us Tyler? I'd rather not leave you here..." He drifted off and I knew what he was worried about.

"I'll come. I feel fine." I said.

"Bring a hoodie..." Tony sighed. He looked defeated. I stood up and wrapped my arms around his waist, pressing my cheek to his chest in a friendly hug.
