Noah woke up and groaned. He opened his eyes and everything went blurry. Clutching his forehead, he tried to sit up. The room began to spin and he groaned again, falling back into his bed.
Elias walked in.
"Hey, you're up," he said, chuckling, "catching up on beauty sleep were we?" Noah groaned and pulled the bed covers over his head. Elias walked over and pulled the cover down.
"Dude, I was kidding. Woah, you don't look so good," he said, feeling Noah's forehead, "you're burning up." Noah groaned again, turning a rather off-putting shade of green.
"I feel like shi.." Elias raised an eyebrow, "eep?" Noah finished. Elias smirked.
"Interesting. Do you have any sudden urges to bleat?" Noah shoved him, grumpily.
"Shut up, I feel horrible," he complained.
"You look it too," Elias noted, "I think you should stay here today." Noah sat up slowly.
"You mean like, in bed?" he asked. Elias nodded.
"But Ally and I have runs to do," he whined. He tried to get out of bed, but Elias pushed him back.
"I don't think so," he told Noah, "you're staying right here." Noah pouted, and crossed his arms.
"Ally won't like this," he said, grumpily.
vvvvv
"No way," Ally crossed her arms, "he can't stay here. I need him today." Elias frowned at her.
"He's sick. There's no way I'm letting him out there," Elias protested.
"Well I need someone to come with me," she told him. A grin spread across her face as she stared at Elias. His eyes widened and he shook his head.
"No. No, no, no. No way. Not happening."
"Pleeease?" Ally asked, pouting her lips.
"No. I'm not leaving Noah here by himself," Elias insisted.
"It's either you or him," Ally told him, smirking. Elias finally gave in.
"Fine," he sighed. Ally grinned and grabbed his wrist, pulling him towards her. Elias gulped at the small distance between them.
"Come on," Ally said, dragging him across the warehouse, "we have to get the supplies and leave. We have a busy day ahead of us."
vvvvv
Elias followed Ally nervously, trying to keep up with her as she instinctively followed the routes. He watched her, dumbfounded as she skipped, actually skipped, down the road.
"I thought we weren't supposed to be drawing attention to ourselves," he muttered to her.
"Oh relax, grumpy, live a little." She laughed and began running circles around him. He grabbed her arm, stopping her.
"You're boring," she said, sulking like a five year old.
"Sorry for being cautious." As they continued walking, Elias glanced over his shoulder, for the fourth time, Ally noticed.
"Don't tell me you're scared," she said slapping his arm playfully.
"Of course not," he replied defensively. She slapped him, harder this time.
