"Open."
Luke furiously shook his head and squeezed his lips together making Michael pout.
"C'mon Lukey you're sick, you gotta let me check your temperature."
"I'm not sick." The younger man complained and Michael quickly took the opportunity of pushing the thermometer in his mouth.
"Don't you dare to spite it out." The green-eyed man threatened. Luke didn't seem affected by it but then Michael raised the bar. "Or I'll call your mum."
Luke let out a disagreeing whine which Michael ignored. He pressed the start button and left his boyfriend alone to go and search for some blankets.
Their shared apartment was small and they had more things that they could store. Still, none of them cared because their university was just around the corner and most importantly, they lived together.
It was their love nest filled with an actual skeleton and billions of sketches of either human or animal bones.
"You know, just because you're studying to be a doctor that doesn't mean you know what best for you. Especially it does not mean I'll let you take care of yourself." Michael preached when he returned with countless numbers of blankets. He was there just in time to hear the beep of the thermometer.
He knew Luke would try to lower the temperature if he would have the chance.
"It's not that bad, but you're still not well enough to go out today."
Luke offered his boyfriend, who was covering him up in blankets the biggest puppy eyes and the poutiest pout he could manage. "But Mikey, today's kitten's day."
Michael, who took vet classes at the uni they both attended usually volunteered at the nearby shelter at least two times per week and on Thursdays he took Luke with him.
"I know babe and I'm sorry. I already called them and told them we won't be coming today."
It was cute and heartbreaking at the same time. Luke who was a giant, looked so small lying on their couch in Michael's hoodie and wrapped in millions of blankets.
"I'll make you some tea and those health shots you like," Michael promised, trying to make his boy feel better.
He ignored whatever Luke complained about, kissed his forehead and made his way to the kitchen. To be exact he just had to cross the room and he was in their kitchen.
"Will you cuddle me?" Luke asked with a weak voice as he was trying to find Animal Planet on the TV. He saw a commercial about a documentary on penguins.
"Babe you know you're contagious..."
"What if I promise to go and wash my hands, not sneeze on you or try to spread my body fluid on you." Luke tried to reason with Michael as he brought him a cup of tea.
Michael affectionately rolled his eyes. "Go on you big baby, but make sure you wash them well."
As if he wasn't feeling poorly Luke almost ran to the bathroom. He washed his hands three times and put some antibacterial gel on before returning.
His smile was wide when he saw the little love nest Michael made for them. Luke joined his boyfriend on the sofa and the older man let him snuggle as close to him as possible.
The two of them continued on watching cute animal shows with Luke lying half on top of Michael and Michael's hand tangled in Luke's hair trying to fight away the man's headache.
"Look." Michael showed Luke his phone and he tried his hardest not to touch or breathe on it.
It was a picture of the kittens they were supposed to be petting on the shelter's Instagram page with the caption: "can't wait to see @luke_is_a_penguin next week! hope he feels better by then."
Of course, Luke who was an emotional mess because of his cold started crying. That resulted in Michael wiping away his tears and getting sick himself a few days later.

I'm actually ill so I need someone like Michael.
but not really because I don't like being touched nor being taken care of.
thoughts?
I tried not to make them study something artsy like I normally do.
and I love Jonas Brothers so the title comes from their song
fluff will hopefully cure me because I have to study with the zero energy I have.
go vote and comment on the last chapter of he's just not that into you if you want some muke smut, fluff written for you by me. (:
Love, Lucija
