"Friends" Sequel To "It Started With A Kitten" (Muke Hybrid AU)

Chapter 4: Stuffy Noses And Nasty Ass Medicine

Luke woke up to a loud sneeze and sniffling. Luke's head vibrated from the whine that was released from Michael. He just noticed that his head was laying in the middle of the boys chest, his arms wrapped around the shirtless boy. Michael let out a few more sneezes and that's when Luke realized that he should probably wake up more and check on him. He slowly sat up with sleepy eyes and looked over at the clock, it was 3 am. He shifted some more so he could see his kitten-boy.

A slight shadow was cast from the small window in Luke's room that he never bothered to get a curtain for. The glow of the night hit Michael's pale complexion making the boy look even more relaxed in the light. Well that was until he sneezed again. His face scrunched up in distaste and Luke figured that neither of them would get any sleep if this continued. He sat up fully and leaned over to turn the lamp on that was sitting in his bedside table. The light was harsh and unforgiving but Luke didn't care.

Michael whined and tried to snuggle deeper into his pillow and away from the light. "Hey mike, whats wrong?" Luke said in a soft and concerned voice. Michael just shrugged so Luke added on, "I won't turn off the light and go back to bed till you tell me." Michael just huffed and sat up. An right then and there Luke knew what was wrong. Michael had a cold, his eyes were puffy and his nose was a little red. He knew it was bound to happen, it was becoming fall and the boy didn't like to wear a coat or anything.

"Oh kitten, I think you're sick." Luke didn't mean for that to slip but ignored it and the kitten-boy went to protest but instead let out a loud cough. Luke just raised his eyebrow, "I'm gonna go find you some medicine and call into work. I won't be able to function from being up this late anyways." Luke just gave Michael a pointed look when he tried to protest. He slowly got up from be and shrugged on a shirt. He thinks it one of Michael's because it's a little too small.

He went into the cabinet by the sink in his bathroom where he kept all medicines and his hair products. He found allergy medicine and some other stuff before he found the cold and flu medicine. He grabbed that and started to head towards the kitchen to get his boy a glass of water to help take the liquid medicine. He shivered at the cold floor, he would have to start turning the heat on soon. After getting what was needed and bringing a noodle cup with his in case the boy was hungry.

He slowly padded into the room trying to not drop and spill everything. When he entered the room he saw that Michael had wrapped himself in all the blankets. It was honestly the cutest thing he has ever seen. He set the medicine and soup down on the bedside table and sat down on the bed. He gently poked the boy to get him up. It took a while but he finally got up and Luke forced him to take the 'nasty ass tasting stupid fucking' medicine. And slowly eat the soup.

He could tell that Michael enjoyed the soup but he didn't want to admit it. When he was finished he handed Luke the empty container. Luke set it off to the side and turned the lamp off. He settled down into their bed and Michael snuggled up next to the blonde. The pink haired boy wrapped his arms around Luke and was for once the smaller spoon. Luke didn't mind, he just kissed the top of the boys head. He decided that he'd just text Calum and tell him the situation.

He didn't bother to wait for a text because it was 5 in the morning and anyone who's sane is asleep, but then again Calum isn't very sane. Luke shrugged of the thought and wrapped his arms tighter around Michael and drifted into sleep. And if he was woken up at 6:30 because Michael wanted more soup and was kept up all day taking care of the boy he loved no one had to know. And Michael certainly didn't need to know either even if Luke almost let it slip multiple times.
