Chapter 84 - Change Of Plans

'I am not getting sick...' Adrian thought to himself whilst sitting at the diner with his friends.

"You alright babe? You're looking a bit pale." Brody asked out of concern, as he then rested his hand on Adrian's forehead to feel his temperature.

Adrian gritted his teeth as he nodded his head, mentally pushing away the food in front of him that looked like a grease pile to him. "Peachy. Think I'm still full from lunch."

Adam laughed at the preposterous claim. "You're never full."

"Then I'm watching my weight to fit into my swim suit." Adrian joked.

Also with the boys, Ashley was flabbergasted that Brody bought them both a trip away. "I actually can't believe you're both leaving for Paris tomorrow!"

Brody smiled modestly as he shied away from the spotlight on his romantic gesture. Meanwhile Adam was poking fun at them. "Me neither. Thank god we only went with a small gift, there's no way we're both that crazy like you two."

Ashley seemed to agree as she nodded her head. "I think we're more chilled."

Adrian felt the palms of his hands become sweaty, despite simultaneously shivering with the layers he was wearing.

No one else seemed to detect Adrian's distressed state, as he made an excuse to go to the bathroom.

Alone with Adam and Ashley, Brody turned towards them and looked at them apprehensively. "You don't think he's having seconds doubts do you?"

They both looked at each other and shook their heads. "No way, Adrian was talking my ears off this morning, he's definitely excited for it." Adam told them.

"Maybe he's developed a fear of flying?" Brody asked weakly.

"He's been on a plane before, and he said he's not a nervous flier or anything. Maybe he's just too excited that he can't contain himself." Ashley made up.

In the bathroom, Adrian splashed some water on his face to try and cool himself down.

Adrian cursed at himself whilst looking in the mirror. "You're not getting sick right now, you idiot. You are not ruining the holiday, so get a hold of yourself..."

Adrian slapped his own face to psych himself up, flinching because of the pain slightly, before going back to his friends.

"We're all packed mom, don't worry." Adrian shouted from upstairs before he closed the door behind him.

With the flight in the early morning, Brody was already waiting for him in bed. With the empty spot besides him, Adrian fit himself onto the bed so that he could lean against Brody.

Brody was going through a checklist which made sure they both had an ample amount of time to prepare for any delays that they might come across. It was a perk from having a super organised boyfriend, Brody made sure they were prepared for everything and anything.

"In a couple of hours, we will be flying to a different country." Brody grinned as he grew excited about their trip.

Adrian wanted to smile with Brody, he really was looking forward to going away on a romantic holiday with his boyfriend.

But Adrian knew he hasn't been feeling great all day.

When he woke up alone in the morning and got out of the bed, Adrian almost collapsed because the room was spinning for a good 5 minutes.

However he put on a brave face when Brody came back from his shower, and smiled along whilst pretending he was feeling fine.

Then during the afternoon, a mild cough with a pounding headache worsened his mood. Adrian thought it probably meant nothing, he narrowed it down to eating too much at Christmas.
