EC3 or Ethan, was just done with his NXT live tour at Houston, he was hoping his boyfriend Spud could come visit. He then walks backstage, no spud. He sighed as he went back to the locker room, finding out his phone filled with miscalls, it was mostly from Spud.

His heart sank a little, wonder what happen to his boyfriend. He immediately call back, "Spud? Spud? You there?"

He then sighed when he finally heard something, a cough? "Spud?"

"Huh? Oh sorry Mr. Carter. I wanted to apologize for *cough* *cough* not coming tonight" – Spud

"Spud? What did I tell you about calling me that? No more of that, just call me Ethan. You okay? Are you sick?"

Spud mumbled "yeah". Ethan sighed, "Ok, I'm gonna come home to check on you okay?"

"No! You don't have to...I can take care of *cough* myself" and then followed by a loud crash. "Spud?"

"Spud? Shit..." as he was about to hang up. "I'm good! Just tripped over my bottle and slammed myself to the ground".

Ethan nearly laughed and Spud could tell his boyfriend was laughing. Nothing makes him feel better than Ethan's laugh.

*hours later*

Ethan just in time to come home when the door was suspiciously unlocked. "Spud babe? You in there?"

Spud then came to the door with breakfast on a tray. "Hey...hope you're hungry. Just made you some breakfast". Ethan grabbed the tray and put it back on the table and gave Spud a peck on the lips. "Yeah, you're really warming up. Have you tried to cool yourself?".

Spud shook his head as he went back to the couch he was mostly sleeping on. "Spud? There's a thing called bed". They were just starting their relationship, so Spud was still used to seeing Ethan as his boss. Not his boyfriend.

He doesn't want to throw away the effort Spud made on the breakfast so he ate them peacefully. He took a few minute shower to rinse off his sweat and came back to the couch to find his potato, marshmallow sleeping with a small towel on his head. It dried off completely, Ethan grabbed the towel and soaked it back to a cold water. He then slowly place it in Spud's forehead to avoid him flinch form the cold.

He then lifted Spud enough to grabbed more blankets and wrapped him like a burrito. He then have him leaned back on Ethan. "Ethan? You'll get sick too.."

Ethan just hummed and wrapped his arms around him, "It's okay...you be okay. Just tell me if you need anything. I'm here".

Spud smiled, "Sure. Thank u"

Ethan then kept turning channels on the TV and end up watching some random cartoons. Until Spud suddenly struggled in the blanket. "Babe? What's wrong?"

Spud quickly got up and sprint to the bathroom. Ethan tried so hard not to laugh because how cute Spud sprinting like that. It's like watching a marshmallow with legs. Ethan got to the bathroom, "You alright babe?"

Spud nodded as he just flushed the toilet. "Yeah, just need to puke out stuff".

"Alright, hmm, your fever is going down. That's good. Wanna cuddle more?"

Spud looked down but he is blushing. "Mmhmm". Ethan grinned as he carried him back to the couch and yet again Ethan wrapped his arms around giving light kisses on Spud's back and neck.

Spud started giggling, "h-hey! That tickles! Stop!"

"No! Until you tap!"

"Never!"

Ethan started tickling him on the waist while still attacking him with kisses. "Hey!" Spud gained enough strength to turn and pinned Ethan down. "See? I'm maybe sick but I still can wrestle you"

Ethan rolled his eyes, his left hand stroked Spud's cheek as they just sink into each other's eyes. Spud slowly leans down on Ethan and they were so close, feeling each other's breath and

"Woops. Finally got the remote thank you!" Spud took the remote and changed some other channel on the TV.

Ethan, mouth open in shock, "What!? Hey! I need those lips".

Spud stuck his tongue out as he just gave his attention to the television. Ethan smirked as he nodded, "You know, there's thing called bed?"

"So?"

Ethan quickly grabbed Spud, wrapping him, confining him with blankets and carried back to the bedroom. "ETHAN CARTER THE THIRD! PUT ME DOWN!"

"No...not until I have you on the bed and me on top of you"
