Jordan-15
Test Steve-32
Eve/scientist-29
Jordan haven't felt this bad in a very very long time, he has been stabbed, beaten over a million times during battles since he first arrived in this village and dimension but nothing came even close to making him feel so damn horrible like this fever has. Okay, maybe he was exaggerating but he doesn't care at this point, actually he doesn't care about anything right now. The virus doesnt want to stop and just wants to torture him, despite the painkillers and flu medicine he's been taking that eve made and he attempted drinking water because he feels hydrated but the water makes him feel even worse
"Oh god, jordan" eve said after feeling Jordan's forehead "i dont like the feeling of this fever"
Jordan just looks at her tiredly, too exhausted to come up with a sarcastic comment, his fever makes him feel drained and weak which is a feeling he doesn't like, one bit.
Eve sighed, running her fingers through her hair, she never had to deal with anyone being sick, she doesn't know how to take care of a sick adult, let alone a teenager. she knows she can't stay with him at all because she has to finish the machine that would activate the portal but she knows one person who will drop anything to make sure he is ok.
"Don't worry Jordan, i will call test Steve..ok" Eve said.
"No please don't, he has enough to deal with considering hades, he is too busy to deal with a sick teenager"Jordan pleaded
"Jordan he would drop everything to make sure you are ok and he would be busy for anyone else but for you, he would never be too busy" Eve said
Jordan watches through tired eyes as eve went to go get test steve, When eve and test Steve came up, they saw that Jordan immediately fell asleep,
"how sick is he, eve?" Test Steve asked concerned
"I dont know because we don't have a thermometer, all i feel is that he's forehead is very hot" eve said shrugged
"Well that's not very helpful, is it eve?" Test Steve said sarcastically
"Well, I didn't think this would happen but we don't have a thermometer so what do you want me to do, just build a thermometer out of nowhere"
"You can build one, you know" test Steve said deadpan
"I guess i might as well considering that we need his help in defeating hades but that's not just it, he is also our friend....well more like my friend" the scientist said teasingly
"What..are you saying he is not my Friend" the test subject teased
"He is more like a son to you then a friend" eve teased
He didnt bother to reply considering she ran to make the thermometer. He went over to jordan who is still asleep, he sighed and run his fingers through the teenagers brown curly hair, Jordan woke up and started to cough really hard.
"Kid, dont force yourself to cough. Just let out naturally" test Steve said
"How can i if its literally in the back of my throat" Jordan replied coughing.
The test subject manages to get Jordan to sleep again. Eve came back with a thermometer that she made.
"Hey, so i just made the thermometer" eve said and gave the thermometer to him then yawned
"Hey eve, go to sleep and don't worry, i can take care of him" her brother said
"Are you sure because i can take of him no problem" eve insisted
"Im fine taking care of him and i know you have more important matters to take care of like finding way out of this crazy, hell like dimension " test Steve said
"Fine even though i don't like it" eve said.
Test Steve ignored her and took the thermometer and put the thermometer in Jordan's ear and took it out to see the thermometer then test Steve's eyes widen in both shocked and worried because Jordan's temperature was 40.2c.
"Oh shit"
That was too high for test Steve liking. He stood up from the bed when he felt Jordan tossing and turning. He knew he had to wake the kid up no matter how much he doesnt want to,
"Kid, come on, jordan, wake up, you're temperature is really high and you need to cool off" test Steve said worried
Jordan is still asleep
"Come on, kid, please open your eyes please, wake up, we need to cool you off, even though we know you hate cold water because to you, it is like showering in ice" test Steve pleaded
"Test Steve" Jordan muttered, eyes finally opening
"Yeah, its me kid"
"It's so hot" Jordan whispered, Some pain and misery in his voice "why is it so hot, we don't even temperatures in this dimension"
Test Steve absolutely hated that Jordan was in any pain even if he knew that he couldn't do anything.
Time skip
"It's so cold" Jordan mumbled when he got out of the river and he put on his clothes. Test Steve wrapped an arm around Jordan's shoulders and the teen leaned on him for warmth.
"I know Jordan, but we have to get your temperature down, it only got down below 102"
"Still really cold"
Test wrapped his other arm around the teens head as the teen moved closer to him. Not willing to let go no matter what, after losing him a couple of times as well as bringing him back to life and some really close calls, he doesn't want to let go. The test subject managed to get teenager to bed.
" do you think you can sleep now" test Steve asked
Jordan shook his head as he struggled to sit up straight and test Steve had to help him sit up straight.
"You need as much rest as you can get, considering you need a lot of strength, not just for fighting hades but to function as well" test Steve said, sitting on the bed
"Im not tired"
"Really because you sound like it"
"Leave me alone, I'm not"
Test Steve sighed at defeat then he got an idea but he doesn't show it on face, he decided to lean against the headboard as the teenager refused to let go
"At least try to sleep otherwise you know what will happen"
Jordan mumbled in response while rolling his eyes calming his anxious mind and body by just listening to test Steve's heartbeat and just knowing he is alive, test Steve started running his fingers through Jordan's hair, at first, Jordan was tense then he slowly relaxes. Test Steve rolled his eyes as Jordan slept not even a second later, so much for not being tired. He leaned his head against the headboard tiredly,
