You can't leave me behind [BoyxBoy]

Chapter 27 ~ Security blanket

I must have slept for an eternity because when I finally stirred and blinked my eyes open my stomach growled in hunger and I could feel a heavy drowsiness surround me like a thick blanket. 

The stupid doctor probably drugged me...

I slowly flicked the blankets to one side and moved my legs until they were dangling over the edge of the bed. I stretched my arms above my head and sniffled, my cold still bothering the hell out of me. When I lowered my arms agan I planted my feet against the carpet and pushed up from the bed. I felt a slight dizziness hit me as I made my way across the room but by the time I reached out to open the bedroom door it was gone. I guess it wasn't that bad then.

I made my way down the corridor, the kitchen in mind as I trudged on. I was hungry which was a good sign. When you are sick you usually lose your appetite so me feeling hungry was definitely a positive thing.

When I got closer to the kitchen an amazing smell came drifting towards me and I could practically feel my stomach growl as I breathed in the intoxicating aroma of crisp bacon. 

Oh God I was suddenly starving!

I quickened my steps and when I entered the kitchen my eyes immediately took in the form of my mate standing by the stove and flipping thin pieces of bacon from side to side. He hadn't noticed me coming in and I guess he was too focused on not burning the food to really pay attention because it wasn't until I stepped up beside him, my hand automatically reaching for the food that he flinched and snapped his gaze to me.

Without thinking about it Ethan reached out and snatched my hand just before I could burn myself on the stove. I blinked up at him for a second and then I pouted at the look that had entered his eyes.

"Matt..." He started, his voice holding a scolding tone to it as he prepared to chew me out for trying to snatch food right from the frying pan again. He paused though and I could tell the exact moment when he realized that I was actually standing beside him and not lying in bed like I should be. His eyes turned a slight silver as he let out a small growl and pulled me up against his side.

"What are you doing walking around? You should be buried underneath the covers in my bed." He said, narrowing his eyes on my face when my pout got even more noticeable.

"I'm starving..." I mumbled, having the decency to blush at least when Ethan raised an eyebrow at me and shot me a look that seemed to scream: 'duh tell me something I don't know'. 

When my mate saw me blush a slight pink a knowing smirk curved his lips and then he shook his head at me.

"What am I to do with you..." He muttered under his breath as he turned back to the task at hand and removed the frying pan from the stove. He moved over to the table and I watched as he filled the two plates already standing there with small pieces of bacon. I noticed that there already was a pile of fried potatoes and some cucumber lying on the plates and I could feel my mouth water at the sight of food.

"Please tell me that one of them are for me." I said as I practically eye-raped the plates and licked my lips. Ethan shot me an amused glance and then he gestured with his hand towards one of them, opening his mouth and saying:

"One of them are for you."

I beamed at him as I bounced over to take a seat at the table. My mate shook his head at the excited look on my face and if I hadn't been so focused on pulling one of the plates towards me I would have stuck my tongue out at him.

After dinner Ethan practically carried me back to bed and insisted that I slept some more. I didn't bother to argue because he had already made up his mind and I really didn't mind it that much since he agreed to lay down with me until I fell asleep.
