Sickness

Chapter 1

Chapter 1,

"What's with you?" Eddy asked Edd who had just sneezed on him.

"Ooh, I knew it. Curse you, common cold microorganisms! It's all part of the big plan, don't you see? They wait and strike when you're the most vulnerable." Edd managed to say before another sneeze escaped.

"Jeepers! You sound sick, Double D. You shouldn't be outside. You need some T.L.C." Jimmy said when he heard Double D sneezing. And suddenly the tiny individual started to take them both to Edd's house.

"Don't just stand there, do something! Eddy!" Edd shouted at his friend, who obviously couldn't care less about his health.

"Now, Edd you shouldn't be yelling in your condition. You need to save your strength. After all, the worst comes before the dawn." Jimmy said and Edd felt reluctant to have such a young person take care of him; but on the same token, refusing his help might be rude. So Edd sighed and followed the high-voiced child.

The almost funny thing about this, is that Kevin was tuning up his bike in his driveway when the pair had past him. Living right beside Edd, he almost always knew when his neighbor was coming or going. But seeing Jimmy confused Kevin. He silently watched as Jimmy lead Edd to his house and Edd stumbled to get his keys out of his pocket.

"The dork almost looks drunk." Kevin mumbled out loud and stood up as Jimmy and Edd entered the house. Kevin would normally be worried that this was part of some scam. But if it was just Edd, he could normally trust that everything was legit. Kevin ran over and looked in the window.

"Ah-Choo!" Edd sneezed loudly, and Jimmy gasped.

"Goodness, let me grab you a tissue." Jimmy said and Edd pointed weakly at where the box should be. Jimmy ran by the window and grabbed the box. Turning back around he was surprised to see Kevin and he glanced at Edd. Not wanting to abandon Edd, Jimmy held up a finger to Kevin, so that Kevin knew he would be back in a moment. Kevin then walked to the front door, as Jimmy walked Edd up the stairs.

"You know, Jimmy. I am thankful that you are being so kind, but now that I'm home, surely-"

"Hush, save your strength." Jimmy said and Edd groaned softly. But then a thought occurred to him. He almost never gets this much attention from his own family. Maybe it would be nice to receive the care and compassion of another.

Edd didn't feel strong enough to change into his pajamas, so when they got to his room, he just crawled into bed.

"Good, now you just relax. I'll go into the kitchen and see what can turn this sickness around." Jimmy said as he exited the room. Edd wasn't sure why this all felt so foreign to him, but he was also too tired to care.

Jimmy went down the steps, and over to the front door. He swung it open and saw Kevin leaning against the wall.

"Hello Kevin. Is there something that I can help you with?" Jimmy asked and Kevin raised an eyebrow at him.

"What's going on with the dork?" Kevin asked bluntly and Jimmy glanced behind him.

"Double D caught Sarah's cold. So I am going to nurse him back to health." Jimmy said and Kevin blinked.

"You're so much younger then he is, though." Kevin retorted and Jimmy crossed his arms.

"Caregivers come in all sorts of ages." Jimmy said and Kevin rolled his eyes.

"It could just be Nazz's voice in my head, but maybe I should come in and help you." Kevin said and Jimmy smiled.

"Oh, goodie. I bet this will be way more fun then taking care of Sarah with Ed." Jimmy said, grabbing Kevin's wrist and then pulling him into the house.
