Cough, cough.

The sound echoed throughout the quiet precinct. No one raised their head at the coughing, it had been going on for a number of hours now. Strangely enough, it didn't come from a human... the sound came from a certain blue-eyed android.

Conan had been coughing for a while now. He felt awful, his face was flushed as his temperature wouldn't go down and his head hurt badly and he was really dizzy too. He tried to pretend he was fine, he had a job to do, but he couldn't concentrate when he wanted to pass out every few minutes.

Gavin Reed sat opposite his partner in crime, trying to tell himself he didn't care about Conan's well being, but as the day went on, Conan looked worse and worse. He sighed heavily and glanced up once again at the android, noting how he wasn't even working anymore, instead he was just staring down at the desk, his LED red. Gavin promptly got up and went to Fowler's office, telling him he was taking the rest of the day off and that Conan was too. After that, he went back to his desk and packed up his shit before looking over at Conan.

"C'mon plastic, you're coming with me," he said and Conan glanced up at him with confusion, but was too ill to question this. Instead he just got up and followed Gavin out of the building, stumbling clumsily as he walked. They got to Gavin's car and Conan slumped over in the passenger seat. Gavin would never admit it, but he was really concerned about him.

They got to Gavin's apartment complex fifteen minutes later, Gavin got out of the car quickly but Conan took a bit longer, almost tripping over as he got out. Gavin lead Conan up to the familiar apartment that Conan had been to a few times before. He unlocked the door and stepped inside, waiting for Conan to enter before closing the door. He hung his jacket up and motioned for Conan to do the same, which he did, leaving Conan in his turtleneck shirt.

"I never knew androids could get ill..." Gavin mumbled as he wandered over to the kitchen to make himself a coffee. Conan followed and frowned a little.

"I'm n-not i'll, Detective. I'm- *cough* -fine, you needn't worry about- *cough* -me," Conan mumbled, even his voice sounded ill. Gavin shook his head, finishing making his coffee and turning to face Conan.

"You clearly aren't okay, idiot. Go lie down on my bed, you need rest," he ordered as he took a sip of the hot beverage in his hands. Conan was about to argue yet again that he was fine, but the look in Gavin's eyes told him not to say anything else. Plus Conan didn't really have the energy to fight back. He just let out a simulated huff and wandered off over to Gavin's room to lay down. He entered the room and went over to the bed, slowly sitting down on the edge, taking his shoes off before laying down on his side. Almost as soon as his head touched the pillow, he passed out, going into an emergency resting mode.

A few hours later, Conan slowly awoke to the feeling of something touching his hair over and over. His systems slowly rebooted before he realised what was going on. Gavin was sat on the edge of the bed next to him, stroking his hair in a gentle manner. Conan's eyes were still closed, giving no indication he was awake. He was sure that Gavin wouldn't do this if he knew Conan was awake. It felt... nice. It was calming and sweet, Conan didn't really want Gavin to stop. The small smile that grew on Conan's face alerted Gavin to the fact that the android was awake. He stopped and pulled his hand away, a light blush on his face. Conan's face then went back into it's neutral state and his eyes opened a little bit. He felt a lot better after resting, after all: sleep is the best medicine.

"I feel a lot better now, thank you, Detective," Conan said quietly before sitting up, then realising that Gavin had also tucked him under the covers as it slid down slightly from him sitting up. Who knew Gavin could be so sweet? Gavin just nodded, averting his gaze.

"Y-Yeah, good. Well, I'll be in the living room if you need anything," he mumbled as he went to stand up, but was stopped by Conan's hand gripping his arm. Gavin gave him a confused look before Conan gently kissed his cheek.

"Thank you, Gavin" Conan said soft with a smile that made Gavin's heart race, using his first name this time. God fucking damn it he'd fallen for an android. Gavin moved his arm from Conan's hand when the grip loosened and he stood up quickly.

"Y-You're welcome... um, I'mma go now..." he mumbled awkwardly, clearly flustered. He shuffled quickly out of the room, making Conan chuckle at his reactions.

"Human's are so fascinating..." he mumbled to himself before lying back down, on his back this time, pondering over what ways he could get Gavin to look so cutely flustered again.
