Seamonkeys: Fever

Sun knew something was off with Neptune. The boy had been quite sluggish all day, and not his usual chipper self.

"You okay there, babe?" Sun asked Neptune.

"Yeah...just tired. I'm gonna go turn in early." Neptune replied, heading off towards the dorm.

"But...its five o clock." Sun mumbled confused.

Figuring that his boyfriend is just super tired, Sun continues with his day as normal. When he gets to the dorm later that evening, Neptune is in a deep sleep in his bed.

"Dang, he really was tired." Sun said.

He doesn't want to disturb the sleeping boy so he sleeps in his own bed. The following morning, Sun was concerned to see that Neptune looked like he had no sleep at all.

"Baby, are you sure you're okay?" Sun asked, reaching out to cup his boyfriend's cheek.

"I'm fine." Neptune replied avoiding Sun's touch.

"I'm gonna go get a shower." he said when he saw Scarlet exit the bathroom.

Though Neptune thought he hid it well, Sun didn't miss the way his boyfriend stumbled his way into the bathroom.

"Is he alright? He looks like sh*t." Sage asked.

"I don't know...he won't tell me." Sun sighed.

A few minutes later, Sun, Sage, and Scarlet hear a loud thump come from the bathroom.

"Neptune? Hey, Neptune, are you okay in there?" Scarlet called out.

There was no response, but they could still hear the shower water running. Worried, Sun runs up to the bathroom door and bangs on it.

"Nep, baby, are you okay? It sounded like you fell, please let us know you're okay!" Sun said still banging on the door.

There was still no answer, making Sun's stomach clench with fear. Sun quickly opens the door and rushes into the bathroom to find his boyfriend passed out on the floor of the shower. 

"Neptune!?" Sun gasped.

Sage turns the water off while Sun picks up Neptune and carries him out of the bathroom. The monkey faunus dries off his boyfriend before laying him in his bed. 

"He's burning up, guys." Sun said as he placed his hand on Neptune's forehead.

He places a thin blanket over Neptune's naked body, then rummages through the medicine cabinet looking for a thermometer. When he found it he returns to the sick boy's side and takes his temperature. 

"How bad is he?" Scarlet asked.

"103.5, that's high...should we take him to the infirmary?" Sun replied worriedly.

"S-Sunny....?" Neptune mumbled, coming to.

"How are you feeling, Nep? And don't say 'fine', I know you're not." Sun asked holding Neptune's hand.

"Uhg, okay...I feel really bad. Sorry I didn't tell you." Neptune whimpered, weakly squeezing Sun's hand.

The poor boy shivers then wraps the blanket around himself tightly.

"Sun, I'm cold...get me some clothes please." Neptune requested, his teeth chattering.

"Okay, babe." Sun said pressing a kiss to Neptune's fevered brow.

He gets him dressed in a t-shirt and boxers.

"I want my hoodie." Neptune said.

"No can do, babe. Your fever is too high, I don't want you over heating." Sun told him.

"But I waaaant my hoodieeeeeee, I'm cooooooold!" Neptune whined.

"I know you're cold, baby, but I want to get your fever down." Sun replied stroking Neptune's head.

"Can I at least have another blanket?" Neptune asked, before coughing.

"Hmm, I just thought of something better." Sun said smiling.

He gets under the blanket with Neptune and pulls him to his chest. 

"Sunnyyyyy! No, get away, I'll get you sick." Neptune said trying to push his boyfriend out of the bed.

Neptune was too weak and ill to successfully push Sun out of the bed, so he just gives up and presses his burning forehead to his bare chest. 

"I'm gonna...get you sick." Neptune told him, breathing heavily from exhaustion.

"Don't care, you need me to take care of you, and as your boyfriend that's what I'm gonna do." Sun said wrapping his arms around Neptune and kissing his head.

Admitting defeat, Neptune snuggles against his boyfriend with a tired sigh.

"Sunny, everything hurts." Neptune said.

"Wanna take something for that?" Sun asked him.

After Neptune nods against Sun's chest, Sun has Scarlet toss him a bottle of medicine and Sage places a cup of water on the nightstand.

"Thanks, guys, you two can go now. I got it from here." Sun told them.

"Okay, see you guys later." Sage said.

"Feel better, Neptune." Scarlet said.

When those two were gone, Sun opens the medicine bottle and pours out two pills.

"Here, these should help with the aches and pains, and also your fever." Sun said, carefully placing the pills into Neptune's hand.

Neptune takes his medicine then settles back down, using Sun's chest as a pillow. He's asleep in no time and Sun just lays there and holds him. After a while, Sun drifts off and falls asleep. When he woke up two hours later, Neptune was out of bed and was trying to push the door open.

"Nep, what are you doing?" Sun asked walking up to him.

"Trying to open the door...b-but I think someone locked it." Neptune replied.

"Babe, no one locked the door. You're supposed to pull that door, not push it." Sun told his boyfriend.

"Oh...okay..." Neptune nodded.

He turns the doorknob and pulls open the door, then he tries to leave, but Sun blocks his path.

"Woah, where are you going, you're supposed to be in bed." Sun asked him.

"I got hungry, so I'm going to the cafeteria." Neptune replied.

"Babe, you could've just told me, I would've gotten you something." Sun told his boyfriend.

"But, you were asleep and I didn't want to wake you. Besides...I'm feeling better." Neptune said, swaying slightly on his feet.

"I don't think so, you look about ten times worse than this morning." Sun said, not convinced.

Looking over him, Sun saw that Neptune's face was more pale and his cheeks were redder, and his bangs were plastered to his forehead by his sweat. His eyes also looked very unfocused, and he looked about ready to drop right then and there.

"Seriously, babe, you need to lay down." Sun said trying to coax the other to the bed.

"I'm fine, Sun, I...I-I don't need...I don't need to lay...down." Neptune mumbled before collapsing.

Reacting quickly, Sun catches him before he could hit the floor. He feels his forehead and realizes that his fever is much worse. 

"Baby? Baby, wake up." Sun said shaking Neptune.

His boyfriend doesn't stir, he just groans weakly, his breaths labored. Now scared for Neptune's wellbeing, Sun carries him to the infirmary. There, he's hooked up to IV's and has a cold compress placed on his head. His fever had reached close to 105, scaring his faunus boyfriend to death. Sun sat at Neptune's bedside holding his hand the entire time.

"Sun?" Neptune yawned, waking up the next day.

"Oh, Nep, baby, I'm so glad you're okay!" Sun cheered hugging him.

"I'm sorry I wasn't good enough to take care of you by myself." Sun said burying his face into the crook of Neptune's neck.

"Don't say that, Sunny, having you by my side to comfort me is all the care I need from you." Neptune told him.

"I love you." Sun said kissing Neptune's lips.

The blue haired boy pushes his boyfriend off him with a tired and frustrated groan.

"I love you too, sweetheart, but don't kiss me, you'll catch what I have and get sick." Neptune scolded him.

"Babe, even though you look like absolute sh*t right now, you're still the handsomest guy in the world and you know I can't resist those kissable lips of yours." Sun said cupping Neptune's face and peppering kisses all over.

"Hehehe, okay, but don't go whining when you get sick." Neptune chuckled.

Sun, in fact, did get sick; but his loving boyfriend was there to take care of him...all while saying 'I told you so'.
