Christmas OTP challenge

16. catching cold from being outside so much - Flage

"It's too cold to be outside" the blond shivered as he tucked his head into the shorter's neck from behind, "you should've worn a hat or scarf" Josh scolded him, turning his head to the side to look at the other. "I didn't think it would be this cold" Will whined pulling the other as close as he could, the couple had gone into town to finish off their Christmas shopping but, stupidly, Will had only brought a coat with him to stay warm. The two had been waiting for about ten minutes for the bus already, it was running five minutes late, and they were worse than freezing cold after being out all day. The bus soon came down the icy road and picked up everyone waiting at the bus stop, the two sat down at the first seats on the bus as other people began to file in.

Will hung his head against the brunet's shoulder and shut his eyes, almost drifting to sleep but was disrupted as he jerked forwards with a sneeze. "You're going to get sick now, aren't you?" Josh questioned sarcastically then was followed by a laugh from the blond. "No I'm not, I'll be fine" Will blatantly lied then began to cough loudly, "don't say I didn't warn you" Josh told the other as he turned his head to look out of the window. "Okay, I might be getting sick" Will admitted "and yes you told me to put a scarf on but I didn't, sorry" Will finished, clinging onto the others arm, "no need to apologise, you're the one getting sick" Josh stoked the others sandy blond hair delicately.

Will shook his head, 'no', "but it's you that will have to look after me" he admitted, "I don't mind that job, as long as you don't complain too much" Josh laughed as he glanced out the window again. "Well I can't promise anything" Will attempted to laugh but only ended up coughing loudly, "come on this is our stop" Josh nudged the other to move, who groan but hurriedly got up and off the bus. "Well if you're going to be sick we're going to get you home and warm first" Josh stated as the bus drove off and the two linked arms before making their way down the street. Not a lot of snow had fallen recently but there was plenty of it to cover the pavements so they cautiously made their way back to their apartment.

As soon as the apartment door swung open they hurried inside to turn the lights and heating on, they rid themselves of their coats, Will instantly lying down on the sofa. "Want a tea?" Josh asks, heading towards the kitchen, "yeah please" the blond whimpers almost inaudibly. Seconds later Josh comes back through the door, throwing a thick blanket over his boyfriend and turning to head back to the kitchen; "if you're going to be sick then you're getting the full treatment: tea, comfortable blankets, doing nothing but watching TV and sleep" Josh argued before the other had a chance to open his mouth.

Will smiled lightly as he snuggled into the blanket as he waited for the other to bring his tea through, sure he may be sick but at least Josh would wait on him till he got better and he could live with that. Josh eventually came back through with two cups of tea, handing one to the blond and then sitting on the floor below the other. "Do you not want a seat?" Will raised an eyebrow but the other only shook his head and reached a hand up to which Will took in his own.
