~ Louis ~

My head is pounding, like my brain is the drum in a marching band. Everything aches, but my head feels the worst.

Someone shifted against me, it was Niall. His breath gently warming the skin of my neck, the left side of his chest pressed to my back. While I was tummy down on the mattress, head turned to the right; so I could feel the heat of Niall's overly warm body next to mine.

Was he sick? or am I just cold?

I groaned, fingers twitching against the white sheets. My eyes open and then instantly shut again, hand coming up to shield my sensitive eyes from the morning sun that had just began to shine through the clouds. I tried to roll over but was stopped by the heavy weight of Niall on my back.

I opened my eyes to the dark side of the pillow, where Niall's flushed face lied. It was shiny with sweat and red with heat. Niall was sick. I lifted my hand to brush back his fringe but was stopped by the sight of my hand. It was covered by a white bandage.

Bandage? Did I hurt myself last night?

I tried to remember what had happened last night, but it was a big blur. The last thing I remember was going to get a drink while Niall talked to his ex. Liam? Leam? I don't remember his name all that well.... Wait, how did I get home?

"Niall...?" I asked softly as I brushed his sweaty forehead. Niall, groaned and pressed his head into my palm. He wasn't going wake up anytime soon, as it was only 8 in the morning. I sighed, and pulled myself from his body.

I stood from my bed and yawned, stretching out my arms and wincing as a sharp throb shot through my head. Right, I need some painkillers. Then I'll get some water for Niall.

I stumbled down the hall and into the kitchen, opening the first cabinet and searching for the pills and flicking on the kettle. Once I have them I punch out two and fill a cup with water, I put them both in my mouth and swallow them down with some water.

The kettle begins to whistle as I refill the cup for Niall. I walk back over and get out one of my mugs and pour the hot water into the cup, adding a tea-bag and a sugar. I hum to myself as a search the cabinet for aspirin. Once I've found it I take the water and the box back to my room, opening the door softly least Niall be still asleep.

A fond smile appears on my lips at the site of him, shirt rumpled and riding up, his legs tangled up in the sheets and his hand clenched in the pillow. I walk over to him and set everything down on the bed side table and sit on the edge of the bed.

"Babe, come on babe. Time to wake up," I say soothingly as i rub his back, his skin is so hot. Niall shifts and grumbles, shivering slightly as he turns towards me. One of his eyes open and focusses on my face, Niall smiles up at me.

"Mornin'" he rasps, accent thicker. I gently trace his jaw with my fingers.

"Hey, you." I reply, moving down to give Niall a quick kiss on the lips. "Take these and then drink this," I say as I hold out the two tiny aspirin tablets in one hand, and the water in my other.

"Why? I'm not hungover." Niall says with a frown.

"Babe, you're all sweaty. I think you've got a fever," I reply worriedly. Niall sighs and takes them, putting the tablets into his mouth and swallowing them down with a big gulp of water.

Niall hands me back the cup as he shivers, rubbing his arms and pouting. "I'm cold," He says.

"I know you are, babe. But you are still sweating. Lay down, we can just have a cuddle day." I say as I pull Niall's body closer to mine. Tugging up the sheet of the bed, keeping Niall covered but not so much that he dehydrates himself.

Niall easily molds against me, seek out warmth as I prepare to basicly wait on him for the next few days.

"Get some more sleep Niall, after you wake up. I'll make a nice bath for you, does that sound okay?" I ask him, wrapping my arms around his hot body. I haven't even been near him for 10 minutes and I'm now being to sweat.

"Yeah, that sounds.... really good, Lou. You're the best boyfriend ever." Niall replies, making me blush. Fevers make people go a bit coo-coo.

"But you're even better, get some sleep Nialler." I reply, smile on my lips. I kiss his forehead as he fidgets for a minute and then he's out like a light.
