Why Don't We // Sickfics

Zach // Flu

This was requested by @shannadavidson10 , thank you for all the requests, keep them coming!

It was a bright morning in LA when Zach was awoken by the sun shining through the curtains of his, Corbyn's and Jonah's shared room. The instant exposure to light made him groan as he felt a wave of pain through his head. He tried to stand up but quickly sat back down as a wave of nausea hit him. He coughed many times then attempted once again to get up and see the boys. He almost stumbled over so had to steady himself on the table in their room. After a little while of slow steps, he made it into the lounge where all the boys were sat. The boys immediately noticed the small steps of the youngest in the group and his feverish appearance.

"Woah Z, you look like you've been hit by a truck! Are you ok bud?" Jonah asked the younger boy.

"I-m Co-ld." Zach said while shaking slightly.

"Zay, it's boiling outside, come cuddle here. Do you want some breakfast?" Jack asked.

"mm not hungry, just co-ld."

"Come here bud." Daniel said as he tapped the empty spot next to him on the sofa.

Zach gladly accepted the offer and went and sat under the pile of blankets and leaned back, resting hi head on Daniel's chest. Daniel put the back of his hand to Zach's forehead and almost winced at the heat coming from it.

"You're really warm Zay, Corbs can you grab the thermometer please." Daniel said.

Corbyn returned quickly with a thermometer, glass of water and cool towel.

"Open your mouth bud." Daniel said comfortingly to the boy in his arms.

"105.6, we need to get it down buddy." Daniel said slightly concerned.

Jack held the cool towel to Zach's forehead while Jonah held the glass of water under his chin and carefully let him take one sip and a time.

After a couple sips and some fever medication, Zach fell asleep on Daniel's chest under a pile of blankets.

"Daniel be careful, you don't want to get sick." Corbyn said wisely to the younger boy.

"I know, I won't. Right now I just want to focus on Z getting better though, he seems quite out of it." Daniel replied.

After about an hour of cuddling on the sofa between Daniel and Jonah, Zach woke up and instantly felt a wave of nausea. He got up quickly and leaned forward, to weak to go the bathroom. The boys understood and Jack got a bucket and placed under Zach's chin. Daniel and Jonah rubbed the younger boy's back. After a couple of gags only a small about of bile came up and Zach decided he was finished. He removed his head from over the bucket and communicated to the boys that he was done.

"You finished Zachy?" Corbyn asked the sick boy.

"mmm"

The boys cleaned the bucket and placed it back down next to Zach, got him another cold flannel and he cuddled back up onto the sofa.

"Zachy, I think you should try and eat something. Do you want to try and eat some plain crackers?" Jack asked him.

"If I-I ha-ve to" Zach mumbled, to sick to talk properly.

Jack brought him a couple crackers and a glass of water and encouraged the young boy to try and eat some. He managed one and a half crackers and a little bit of water before knowing he was done. He knew if he ate anymore, he wouldn't be able to hold it down.

"Well done baby boy, you're doing great." Daniel comforted Zach.

Zach thought he might be sick about half an hour later but managed to hold it down and the wave of nausea past.

"Do you want some more medicine Z? We need to check your fever then you can take some more." Corbyn told him.

Zach just nodded, understanding.

Jonah put the thermometer in the boy's mouth and waited for the beep. 101.2

"It's gone down to 101.2 Zachy, that's good." Jonah said calmly.

Jack gave the boy some more medicine and then resulted to movies and cuddles for recovery.

They spent the rest of the day cuddling and watching movies with snacks. Zach was very thankful for his four best friends and thanks to their help, when he woke up in the morning he was feeling a lot better than he was the previous day and he owed it to his amazing band mates who he loved dearly.
