Obsessive?

"The last thing we need is the living torch to burn down the entire country. "
Texas voiced in the living room, where he, New York and a rather sick Colorado sat, discussing some of the recent problems out of boredom.
Today's topic? West coast fires. though Texas Made it more about California, fan behavior much?.

"Is he really his fault thou-.." Colorado was interrupted.

"Who else's people would set their entire state on fire over a gender reveal?"

"Florid-"
A hand clapsed over Colorado's mouth, who's protest was muffled.

New York glared, "don't summon him. "

Colorado nodded quickly and raised his hands in surrender,
the hand came off and New York wiped his hand on his pants.

"Hmph."

"..Other then him- "

"Just keep these fires to your self, and we're all good. "
New york sighed as he stood up and left.

"..."

"..."

They sat in an awkward silence for a couple of minutes before Colorado gave an uncomfortable cough.

"..don't you uh.. Think you're being a bit obsessive?-"

"Obsessive?"
Came the not so friendly reply of Texas.

"Uh yeah, you know.. With Californi-"
A glare quickly shut him up.

"Would you look at the time! It's past my bedtime!".
Colorado gave an extremely uncomfortable laugh and left.

Bedtime? Ha right, the only door he heard shut was the front door.

"Hmph."
Texas sat there with a frown. Obsessive...
He groaned and stood up, heading into the kitchen.

Before he poured him self a drink the small thud of an object hitting the ground grabbed his attention.

"Sorry.. I dropped my glasses.. "
A hoarse voice apologized behind him.
He turned around.

California stood up and placed the glasses back on the bridge of his nose, which were very much missing one of the lenses, we're they always like that or..

"Uh hey Texas. " california gave a weak smile.

That smile wasn't the only weak thing, the entire coastal state was in a weak form. His usual attire looked wrinkled, the red beanie was gone, revealing the states incredibly messy hair.
He looked feverish, dark eye bags under those broken glasses. Pitiful sight really.

"I know, I look like crap.. " California tiredly walked up to one of the cabinets and tried to reach for a cup, snapping Texas attention back to him.
Subconsciously he reached for the cup and handed it to California.

Their hands touched for a second before the cup was handed over.
Or at least,
that's what Texas expected.
Instead,
California's hand slowly wrapped around his own hand, cup put aside.

His eyes widened and he was about ready to yank his hand away before California's voice grabbed his attention.

"sorry..but you're so much cooler.."

California's voice came as a tired whisper as he placed his cheek in Texas palm.

Now Texas was in some sort of shock, Lord help him, what the hell was going on.

"Californi-"

"I'm so tired.. "

California stepped closer until his his hands were wrapped around Texas.

Texas shuddered, California was burning (quite literally), which clearly explains his looks and the way he was acting, the fires must really be taking a toll on him for him to approach Texas of all people.

He stiffened as he felt California's hot breath against his neck.

"Thanks.."
And then..it was silent, all except for California's soft snoring.

Texas held onto California. It was so.. Nice?. A clearly out of his mind, fevered up California, peacefully asleep against him.
If he hadn't already known the state and hated him, this would've been adorable, (and it was but he would never admit that out loud).

Texas glared at the state for putting him on such a situation, but his expression Immediately soften when he saw the state shiver and try to seek more warmth.

With hesitation, the southern state picked up the coastal state and carried him to said states bedroom, placing him on his bed.

A small smile formed on his lips.
Obsessive huh? , maybe..just a little.
