Ted x Chris (KnT)

Chapter 2

Chris's POV:

I woke up the next day feeling better, but not completely over being sick. I opened my eyes seeing that I had been moved from the couch to my room. Sitting up slowly I rub the sleep from my eyes before hearing my door open. I look over and see Ted standing there with a tray.

"Feeling any better?" He asks walking over and placing the tray on my night stand.

"Yeah a bit..." I replied. He picked up the thermometer he had on the tray and turned it on before holding it up to my mouth, which I opened so he could take my temperature. After a couple of minutes of holding it under my tongue it beeped a few times. Ted pulled it from my mouth and checked.

"You're still running a slight fever. Eat your breakfast, I'll be down stairs doing some chores. If you need anything just call out for me." He says as he walks out the door. Today was our usual day off from work. I honestly half expected Ted to ask ChuChu to watch me again so he could go be with Nick. But he was staying home to take care of me instead. Despite being sick I was happy that he stayed to do so. I ate the oatmeal with blueberries he had made. Ted was honestly a really good cook. ChuChu was as well surprisingly. The chicken soup he made for me yesterday was pretty good. I guess that's a good thing since Alex can't cook to save her life. The two honestly were a perfect match, I envy their relationship. Wishing I could be in one with Ted. But nooo Nick had to come along... I heaved a sigh as I stared at the wall across from me.

Ted's POV:

I went down stairs and started sweeping the floors while music played from my bluetooth speaker. I was glad that Chris was starting to feel better. He always seemed to find some way to make me worry over him. ChuChu would always tease me about being similar to a worried wife. Thinking on it now ChuChu always made little comments like that about Chris and I. I started thinking more and more about it and realizing there were times Chris was around when ChuChu would do so and it caused Chris' cheeks to turn a light pink, but laugh it off... Wait... Damn it! It all made sense now. Chris did like me as more than a friend... How the hell had I not noticed? I truly am blind. I felt kinda bad since I liked Nick, and was with him now. I can only imagine how Chris must feel. I was pulled from my thoughts by Chris walking into the kitchen. I looked up at him and noticed I had stopped sweeping some time ago in the midst of my thinking.

"You ok Ted? You were just standing there staring at the floor." He told me as he gave me a concerned look.

"Ah, yeah I'm fine. Was lost in thought." I replied as I continued to sweep the floor.

"Whatever you say..." He says seeming to not believe me. He walked over to the sink and filled his cup with water before sitting down at the kitchen table.

"You should go lay back down in bed. You're still sick." I tell him while grabbing the dustpan and sweeping the dirt and whatever else I gathered from the floor onto it before dumping it into the trash. Chris grumbled.

"Don't wanna..." He replied pouting like a kid.

"Well at least go lay down on the couch." I say nudging him slightly. He finally listens and stands up from the chair before walking into the living room, water in hand. I hear him turn the TV on as I put the broom back into the closet in the kitchen, grabbing the mop before closing the door.

Chris's POV:

I lay on the couch watching cartoons while hearing Ted continue to clean the kitchen. Foofy came over and hopped up on me, nudging my face. I smile as I reach up a hand to pet him. He laid down on my chest purring contently with his eyes now closed. After another half hour Ted comes into the room and sits down in the recliner having finished with the kitchen. I look over seeing him as he stretched. My eyes traveled down to his stomach as his shirt rides up slightly exposing some skin. I blush and look back to the TV. I felt Ted's eyes on me for a moment which went away as quickly as it came. I peek over at Ted to see him staring at the TV himself. I wished he would stare at me the way he does with Nick. Tho that will most likely never happen, unfortunately for me...

Ted's POV:

I could feel Chris stare at me. Now realizing just how he feels about me, feeling him do so made me feel a tad nervous. I can only imagine how jealous of Nick he must be. I mean If I really think about it he has probably liked me for a long time now. And Nick showed up only about a half a year ago and I fell for him fairly quickly. I'm fairly certain he probably wasn't very happy about it

Chris's POV:

I was pulled from my thoughts at the sound of someone knocking on the door. Ted got up and went to the door, opening it to reveal: Nick... Feeling a wave of envy wash over me as I glared at him from my spot on the couch. I forced the glare off my face as he turned to look at me. He smiled kindly as Ted let him inside before closing the door. Nick was holding a card in his hand and a box of cat treats. He kicked his shoes off and walked over to me, extending the items in his hand for me to take. I was hesitant to do so.

"Hope your feeling better Chris. Ted told me you weren't feeling well so I thought I would stop by and give you these." He said and sat down in the chair opposite of Ted. I opened the card seeing it say 'Get well soon!' and a picture of some cats on it. In a way I can see why Ted likes him so much. But it doesn't change how jealous I am of him and how much I want to take Ted for myself. Despite that I give him a smile in return.

"Thanks. I am feeling better than I did yesterday." I replied as I put the items on the coffee table. After we all chatted for a little Ted put on a movie for us all to watch. They both stayed in the chairs opposite of each other, rather than cuddling up on the loveseat. I assume as to not make things awkward for me, which I was thankful for.
