Jimmy's Perspective-

Jimmy jumped at the sound of his phone.

It was Jay calling him.

Jimmy checked the clock and shrugged.

It was around lunch, so it made sense why he was calling.

Must be checking up on me.

"Hello?" Jimmy answered stuffily.

"Hey Jim!" Jay said cheerfully.

"How're you feeling?" He asked.

"Sick." Jimmy said.

"Do you feel better when compared to earlier today?"

"A bit worse actually."

Jimmy heard Jay hum and then he jumped right back into the questions.

"Look, Jim, I need to ask you something."

Jimmy turned his head and coughed before saying, "Okay. What's up?"

"I know this is probably a bad time but..." Jay sighed and Jimmy heard him mumble something to someone.

"Jay!" Jimmy shouted, hurting his throat, "What do you want?"

"Sorry, sorry. It's just...I was wondering if you like anyone."

Jimmy froze.

"Do you- are you really asking me that right now?" Jimmy asked.

"Yes." Jay said, "Because Scott likes you and was wondering- "

Jay was immediately cut off by shouting.

Jimmy heard the phone hit the ground and Scott shout while Jay laughed.

"I- what?" Jimmy asked.

But he didn't get a response as Jay hung up on him, cutting off the shouting and laughing.

Jimmy froze, blinking.

He put down his phone slowly as he laid back down in his bed.

So Scott likes me back, huh?

Jimmy stared up at the ceiling, his heart thumping.

That must've been Scott shouting. He was probably shouting because Jay just said that he liked me.

Jimmy felt his face heat up and he cuddled up and fell back to sleep.

-

Jimmy groaned as he got up and walked out to the kitchen.

Today, he and Jay would normally go down and play D&D, but since Jimmy was sick, he had to miss it.

Meaning that he and Scott were the only ones in the dorm.

Jimmy grabbed a glass out of the counter and jumped as he heard Scott walk in and say,
"Oh! Hey Jim!"

Jimmy jumped and dropped the glass.

It shattered on the ground and he and Scott flinched at the sound of breaking glass.

Jimmy stared at it and sighed.

"Shit Scott, I'm so sorry." Jimmy said, "I'm just not awake."

"No, no, it's fine." Scott said, rushing over to shoo Jimmy away.

"You go lay down. I'll clean this up and then get you something to drink. Do you want tea?"

Jimmy nodded, "That'd be great, thanks."

Jimmy then walked back into his room and took out his math homework that Jay had dropped off.

He sat down at his desk and felt sick.

He then heard the vacuum turn on and sighed.

I just created more work for Scott. I suck.

He started shaming himself when Scott walked in.

Jimmy looked up.

"Oh, sorry." Scott said, smiling.

Jimmy blushed.

"I was just wondering what kind of tea you want."

"Peppermint's fine, thanks." Jimmy said and Scott nodded, walking out.

Scott walked in a couple minutes later with a mug.

"Here you go!" He smiled, handing Jimmy the cup.

"Thanks, Scott. And sorry about dropping the glass."

"It's fine, don't worry about it! After all, you are sick."

Jimmy nodded as he sipped on the warm drink.

It coated his throat and he smiled.

"Are you trying to do the math homework?" Scott asked, looking at the paper.

Jimmy nodded and then looked at his bed, "But I'll probably lay down. I'm really tired."

"Yeah, you get some rest."

Scott then stood there awkwardly, looking as though he wanted to do something.

"Er- Scott? You alright?" Jimmy asked.

Scott looked at Jimmy and blushed.

"I- "

He bent down and kissed Jimmy's forehead before dashing out.

"Hope you feel better soon!" He called before the door shut.

...

Jimmy sat there, glued to his seat.

He blinked, trying to understand what just happened.

Blush flushed onto his face as his heart started beating at a fast rate.

He then pinched himself.

Hoping, with all of his heart, that it wasn't a dream.

-

Jimmy shot up in his bed, sweating.

He looked at the clock and saw that school was still in session.

He was panting, trying to understand what had just happened.

He then sighed as he fell onto his pillows.

It was just a dream.
