Harry woke up with a sore throat. Probably from all the coughing the last couple of days. He had a cold. Today it seemed to be even worse than before. Harry sat up and had a major coughing fit. Louis woke up from it.

'COUGH COUGH, COUGH COUGH COOOOUUGGH'

"Haz, love, are you okay?" Louis asks as he is patting Harry's back. 

"Yeah, it's just that stupid cold." Harry answers.

"It seems to be getting worse, you sound like a seal."

"Mmmh... I know." Harry said and he turned himself around again and closed his eyes. He fell asleep again, but only for a couple of minutes. He woke up with a start, having another coughing fit. This time even worse than the last one.

"Haz, love, I'm going to get you a glass of water, okay?"

"'kay." Harry managed to bring out. 

Louis returned a few minutes later with a glass of water and some cough syrup.

"Here love, it's good for you. Drink." Louis said.

Harry drank the water greedily and took a spoon of the cough syrup. Louis ran a hand through Harry's hair and felt his forehead.

"Hmm... I think you have a little bit of a fever Harry."

"Is possible. Stupid cold."

"Try to go back to sleep love, maybe it helps. In the meanwhile I'm going to buy a couple of things, our fridge is empty. When I'm back I'll make you some chicken soup. What do you think of that?"

"I'm not really hungry. Just a bit tired."

"You have to eat something Haz and chicken soup is great for when you're sick."

"I'm not sick, I just have a cold."

"But quite a bad one, if I hear you cough. 

"It's okay Lou. I'm going to take a little nap now."

"Okay, sleep well love. I'll be back in one hour."

"Okay, bye boo bear."

Louis got dressed. Before he left he checked on Harry. He was asleep. Louis went downstairs as quiet as possible, he didn't want to wake Harry. He went to the supermarket and bought everything to make some nice chicken soup. He also brought some extra tea and honey for Harry's throat.

When Louis came home, he heard some loud coughing noises coming from upstairs. He went to the bedroom and when he opened the door, he saw that Harry's face was red from all the coughing. Louis patted Harry's back until the fit passed.

"You're all right Haz?"

"Mmmh... kind of hurts. I feel worse than yesterday."

"I can tell. I'm going to make you some tea with honey, okay? It's good for your throat."

"Mmmhh... 'kay. Thanks boo bear."

Louis made Harry a nice cup of tea. When he returned upstairs, Harry was again having a major coughing fit.
"Haz, love... I'm calling the doctor, your coughs seem to get worse by the minute." Louis said.

"L..Lou no... no doctor. 'S not that bad." Harry said with a weak voice.

"Yes Haz, I'm calling. I know you don't like it, but those coughs are really scaring me."

"Okay..." Harry said, nearly whispering.

Louis had called and they had an appointment at 3 that afternoon.

"We have an appointment at 3 Haz. Now, let me take your temperature."

Louis took the thermometer and put it into Harry's ear and pushed the button. 102.3 .

"You're running a fever Haz."

"Mmhh... Lou... don't feel good."

"Are you going to be sick?"

"No... my head and my throat are hurting. My ribs too."

"Oh love, that's from all the coughing. Can I get you something, like a painkiller?"

"Just lay with me."

"Later, because it's time to make ourselves ready to go to the doctor."

"Okay."

Harry got up and groaned. His whole upperbody hurt because of all the coughing. He just threw on a sweater and some sweatpants. Louis and Harry walked to the car and they drove off. Ten minutes later they were at the doctors. After waiting for 20 minutes, the doctor came to take them.

"So, Harry, tell me, what's the matter?" The doctor asked.

"My throat hurts, my head hurts and I'm coughing. I'm having a cold for quite a few days now, but today it got worse." Harry explained.

"Okay Harry. Do you have a fever too?"

"Yes." Harry answered.

The doctor examined Harry. It turned out that his cold turned into bronchitis.

"You have bronchitis, Harry. I'm going to make you a prescription for antibiotics. And you need to get plenty of rest." The doctor said.

"Okay, thank you doctor."

Later at home
------------------------------

Harry was back in bed. Louis had filled the prescription at the local pharmacie and made Harry some nice chicken soup. After eating, Harry fell asleep. During the night, Harry had to cough several times. Louis woke up from it.

"You all right love? Do I need to get you some more water?" Louis asked. Harry just nodded. Louis handed Harry the glass. After drinking he fell right back to sleep and he actually slept till 9 in the morning.

"Hey, Haz, how are you feeling love?"

"A little better. Still not very good."

"It's okay love, I'm here. I'm going to make you some breakfast so you can take your medicine."

"Thanks boo bear. You're the best boyfriend in the world."

"And so are you."

Louis took care of Harry the next 4 days. After those 4 days, Harry was fully recoverd.
