new a/n: this whole book is just cringefest but I hope u like it anyway and btw it's all only bad bcs I wrote it
Alexander's POV:
I knocked on the door to my boyfriend Thomas's house after a good day at work. I'm a librarian, that's actually where me and Thomas met- but, that's off topic. He texted me earlier asking if I'd come over and of course I said yes because I love him, "Tommy! I'm at the door!" I said after a moment. I heard the familiar sound of the locks being moved and then the door was pulled open. Thomas was standing there with a strangely drowsy smile on his face. It looked like he'd just gotten out of bed or, if we want to be fantastical, like he'd just ran for his life from a herd of flying monkeys and now he needed a nap even though he'd just been napping because he was wearing sweatpants and a T-shirt that seemed a bit sweated through,
"Hey, darlin," Thomas greeted as he moved to the side so I could walk in, his voice was unusually raspy. "Hi," I replied, closing the door before hugging him. He hugged back as I nuzzled his chest. He was warmer than usual,
"Are you feeling alright, Tommy?" I asked as I backed away, he shivered but still smiled and nodded as he walked towards the couch, "Sit with me and-" he started coughing and shaking. I startled a bit before going and helping him to sit down. I stood in front of him and pressed the back of my hand to his forehead, it practically burned me but I didn't move it away too fast because that might hurt his feelings... I don't know,
"You're really hot," I stated and then slapped my other hand over my mouth because I was sure he'd say something silly by his smirk, "Thank you sweetheart, but I suppose you can tell that I'm not up for anything that lets you take advantage of that right- right now," he said tiredly, leaning his elbows on his thighs and placing his face in his hands shakily. He was shivering again.
I shook my head slightly, "Okay, okay, let's get you to bed, alright?" I suggested but in reality it was a command. I helped him up and walked him slowly to his room, he leaned heavily on me so we were a bit wobbly. I kicked open the door to his room and narrowly avoided tripping on the rug while putting him in his bed and bringing the covers over him.
THOMAS POV
My head hurt so much but it was better with Alexander here. All day I'd been waiting for him to finally get here. I was barely aware that he tucked me into bed, only the sheet so I wouldn't be too hot, and kissed my forehead until he spoke, "Do you want me to get you anything? Medicine or... have you eaten?" He asked. I let out chuckle that turned into a cough. But, it was so sweet that he was trying to take care of me and listen. Unlike usual when he'd act sassy and misbEhaVe. (ew)
I was about to say I was fine but he spoke first,
"Ah, no need to speak. I'll just... find the Vix and then make soup," He said with a deciding nod before leaving me momentarily. I closed my eyes and it seemed like just a moment later that I heard his voice again, "Hey, I'm gonna change your shirt, okay?" he said and I smiled and nodded slightly.
