5 - Sick Boy

A groan escaped Five's throat as he was hiding under his duvets. His head was killing him, and the pillow clutched to his stomach only helped a little bit to subdue the nausea rising inside him.

The bed was covered in at least three layers of duvets and blankets. Still, he felt so cold that his entire body shook with shivers.

He enjoyed being cocooned in his blankets, but he found he preferred not to suffocate, so he created a tiny opening and took deep breaths.

He was wrong, the cold of his room was totally not worth the fresh air.

He bit his lip as another wave of pain reverberated through him and he repressed another groan.

A few seconds later—or maybe it was a few hours? Five didn't even know anymore—somebody knocked on his door. He ignored it, hoping the person would take his silence as a sign to leave. A second, louder knock was heard, and the noise made his head throb viciously.

"Five! It's time for breakfast!" It was Vanya. Maybe she could keep him company for a second, just to distract him from the constant urge to empty his stomach.

As much as he tried to shout for her to come in, no sound came out. He sighed as he thought she was already gone but was brought to reality as his duvet lifted.

Vanya let out a worried gasp, "Five! You look terrible!" She moved her hand to his forehead, checking for a fever. His skin was burning up!

"Thanks, Van. Makes me feel much better now..." he closed his eyes in content as her cold fingers brushed the sweaty strands of hair away.

"What happened to you?" She looked down at him, her soft eyes wide in worry as she took the First-Aid kit from underneath his bed. She almost tore it open, trying to find a thermometer before shoving it in his mouth. Next was a towel, which she quickly doused in ice cold water before laying it on his forehead.

Five tried to take the thermometer out of his mouth, but Vanya slapped his hand away and kept it in. "I'm just a little sick..." He tried to repress a pained moan, but she still heard it.

The thermometer beeped and she took it out, a troubled sigh escaping her mouth as she saw the results. "A little sick, my ass. You should stay in bed today. I'll tell Pogo and dad that you don't feel so well." She went to leave but Five caught her arm and stopped her.

"Five, I really should—" He shot up from his bed with wild panic in his eyes. He ran over to the waste bin and emptied his stomach. His hands clutched onto the sides so hard, his knuckles turned white.

Vanya immediately sank onto the floor next to him, rubbing his back in soothing circles, muttering sweet nothings in an attempt to comfort him.

He kept on retching over the bin for a while and she felt his body shaking underneath her. After he was done, she led him back into his bed. He clasped his arms around her waist as to not fall down.

She tucked him into the covers, a soft smile gracing her lips as she saw the tired grin on her boyfriend's face. "I wish I could kiss you right now...maybe an-another time." He let out a hiss, his hands grabbing his forehead.

"Shh...it's going to be alright," she whispered, her fingers caressing his cheek. Her eyes glowed white for a second and her veins turned black. Her smile fell for a moment as pain shot through her arm. "Get better, then we can get to the kissing part," she muttered in his ear, but she already knew he was asleep.

She leant back and smiled at her fast asleep Five. Now that he wasn't in pain anymore, he would heal much quicker.

She came into his room a few hours later, noticing he was still sleeping. She leant down and planted a kiss on his forehead before setting down the plate with peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches, accompanied by a large mug of coffee.

Five's hand reached out and he very sleepily said, "Stay with me."

She nodded at him, crawling in next to him and resting her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her head before falling back asleep only seconds later.

Short one and personally not my best I think. I just wanted to update some more Five x Vanya content.
