I Just Love You (A collection of Adommy one shots)

Chapter 19

[In Tommy's POV]

I walked in quietly, afraid to wake Adam. But he was already awake; sitting on the couch wrapped in a blanket, flipping through the channels.

"Hey baby." I leaned down to kiss him, but he pushed me away.

In a gravely voice, he replied, "No, I don't want to get you sick."

I walked over and put the plastic bags on the table. I grabbed the thermometer off of the sink counter and placed it in Adam's mouth. Once the time was up, I took it out and checked on it. "101!" I shrieked. "We've got to get you to a doctor!" I grabbed Adam's arm.

"We've already been to the doctor - twice. They say the same thing, take medicine and sleep." Adam mumbled. Adam rubbed his finger across my arm.

"Speaking of medicine - ." I tossed the bag of medicine that I had just bought to Adam. With a swift arm, he caught it. He dug through the bag and downed a bunch of the medicine without water. He clutched his throat in pain. "Stupid, that's why we take it with water." I mocked him. "You know, I wonder what got you sick?" I pondered. Quickly, I brewed Adam a cup of tea. I handed him his tea and sat down next to him.

Adam slowly took a sip and smiled. "Probably something from when we were on our vacation. I'm just glad to be home." Tiredly, Adam asked me to put a movie on.

I put in 'Velvet Goldmine'. I hurried over to Adam with a big, fuzzy blanket. I tried to snuggle up next to him but Adam sat on the opposite side of the couch. I threw the blanket over us and curled my toes with his.

"Your feet are cold." Adam whispered.

"That's why I'm putting them next to yours. Yours are so toasty."

I grabbed Adam's hand. As the movie went on, my eyelids got heavy. I only awoke because of Adam's snoring. It wasn't loud, but really cute. The movie was over. I turned the TV off and cleaned up a little. I leaned down and felt Adam's forehead. Still hot, but better. I decided to bring Adam to bed, but without waking him (talk about a challenge). I managed to get him into bed without waking him. Leaving him in his underwear, I pulled the sheets around him. After I had everything set, I crawled into bed next to him. Adam's soft snores lulled me to sleep.
