5sos sickfics book 2

Luke is sick and "hides" it from Ashton part 2

Lilly woke up feeling more miserable than she was yesterday, if that was possible. She rolled over, wanting to cuddle Luke for some comfort, but his side was empty.

"Luke?" She cries hoarsely

Fighting vertigo as she frantically tried to get up. She made it out into the hallway before her energy was completely drained, and her vision was beyond blurry. Suddenly, a pair of arms are around her, supporting her so she doesn't collapse.

"Woah, calm down Lilly. Calm down. It's okay, don't cry honey."

"L-Luke." She pants, "I -I thought y-you left."

"I will never leave you." Luke promises, guiding Lilly back to bed.

"Now you, my princess, need some rest. You're burning up."

"Mmm, you are too." Lilly mumbles

After feeling his forehead, she lays her head on her boyfriend's chest. Luke's almost asleep when he feel's Lilly suddenly jolt. Tears are starting to run down her face, and he connects the dots."Bad dream, love?"

Lilly wordlessly nods, and clings to Luke

"Do you want to tell me about it?"

Lilly quickly shakes her head "Just stay."

"I'm not going anywhere." Luke gives a small smile

Luke and Lilly sleep for about three hours, until Luke wakes up feeling like he's going to throw up.

"Lilly," he whimpers

Luke grabs the trash barrel from the ground, and starts getting sick.

"Luke?" Lilly groans, but fully wakes when she sees the sight in front of her "Oh, Lukey."

"I don't like this." Luke panted

"I know Love. It's alright, you're okay."

Lilly forces herself to sit up, and comfort her boyfriend, just as he would her. But she's really relieved when Michael comes in with two water bottles."Shit." He mutters, rushing over and rubbing Luke's back. The blonde is paler than Michael thought was even possible.

"Here Lukey, rinse your mouth."

With a shaky hand, Luke accepts the water bottle, then spits into the barrel one last time

"You done bud?"

"For now." Luke groans

"Okay." Michael nodded "I'm just going to take your temp, then you can sleep."

The thermometer felt cold under Luke's tongue, and he really didn't like it. It was better than the ear thermometers, he supposed, so he wasn't about to complain. Suddenly it beeped, bringing Luke back to reality as Michael pulled it out.

"101.6. It's down a little, that's good. Alright Penguin, get some rest lad."

Luke didn't have to be told twice. He laid back down and fell fast asleep.

"Lil, are you okay?" Michael asked, noticing she was still sitting up.

"I feel like 'm gonna be sick." She mumbled. Suddenly, she shot up and out of the bed, scampering into the bathroom across the hall. Michael followed, finding her throwing up in the toilet.

"Aww Lilly," He cooed, tying her long blonde hair back in a loose ponytail.

"Ugh," She groaned, leaning against the wall when she finally got a break

"I'm gonna get the thermometer from the other room, okay? I'll be right back." After earning a nod from Lilly, Michael walked across over to Ashton's room. He spotted his two healthy friends walking down the hall.

"How are they?" Calum asked

"Luke seems a little better. He threw up again, but his fever went down a bit. Lilly's still really sick though."

"Why don't you take a little break, Mikey? Calum and I'll handle things for a little while." Ashton suggested

"Alright. I'll just empty the trash first.

Oh and can you guys take Lilly's temperature? I think her fever might have rose."

"Okay." Calum nodded, and went in to check on Luke. Meanwhile, Ashton grabbed the thermometer and went to Lilly. She looked up, her hazel eyes full of pain.

"Hey Lilly, you okay?"

"My stomach is killing me."

Ashton winced at how hoarse her voice sounded.

"I'm so sorry Lil. I wish it was me instead of you and Luke."

Lilly gagged again, throwing up into the toilet. Ashton rubbed her back for the next fifteen minutes until she laid back against the wall again. He knew Michael was right. Not only was she worse, but she was also much warmer than last night.

"I th-think I'm done for a few minutes." She said

"Okay Hon, just let me take your temperature."

Two minutes later, the thermometer confirmed his suspicions.

"102.5, do you want me to take you back to bed?" lilly shook her head.

"I still don't feel good. I wanna stay here."

Her voice cracked and tears were threatening to pour out of her eyes. Ashton just couldn't say no.

"Alright love. Are you cold?"

Lilly nodded, prompting Ash to grab a pillow and blanket from the closet. She was thankful, and Ashton stayed with her as she started to fall asleep.

(Meanwhile in Ashton's room)

Calum winced as he heard Lilly throw up yet again. It had even woken Luke up, and Calum hadn't been able to coax him back into sleeping yet.

"I gotta take care of her." Luke frowned

"You need to take care of yourself too, Penguin. You're sick." Calum reminded him "Ashton's in there with her. She'll be okay."

-------------------------------------

Luke was fast asleep by the time Lilly was led in the room by Ashton two hours later. Lilly was feeling a little better. She even managed to take a little DayQuil, and it had stayed down.

"Okay Lilly, yell if you need anything. Alright?" Ashton said, ready to go downstairs

"Okay." She nodded sleepily "And guys? Thanks for everything."

"Hey, what else are friends for?" Calum smiles, shutting off the light and walking out with Ashton.
