Ill

It begins as a throbbing ache after dinner, followed shortly by a mad dash to the loo, falling on to his knees and hugging the porcelain bowl as his stomach angrily rebels. Thankfully, Billy is there with a cool face flannel against the back of his neck, tenderly cleaning Dom up and then whisking him off to bed, tucking him under the coverlet.

Honey-sweetened tea is brought to his suddenly parched lips, and Paracetamol placed on his tongue to help lower his temperature. The damp cloth is drawn over his heated skin repeatedly, giving Dom some welcome relief, if only temporarily. It isn’t long before Dom’s eyelids are far too heavy, and he barely manages to say goodnight before sleep claims him.

Throughout the night, Dom is restless, tossing and turning in an attempt to find a comfortable position. Hot, then cold, and back again, Dom kicks back the sheet and coverlet, only to be shivering violently moments later, and then be cuddled close again in Billy’s soothing embrace. At dawn, Dom awakens briefly, just long enough to realize that Billy is spooned up behind him, warm breath on his neck and a possessive arm wrapped around his waist. Snuggling into Billy’s warmth, Dom finally drops off into a peaceful slumber.

When Dom wakes again, the sun is high in the sky, a warm hand splayed across his back as Billy gently draws his tangled blonde hair off his face. They share a soft smile before Billy kisses the tip of Dom’s squashed up nose and draws the younger man closer so his cheek is pressed against Billy’s chest.

Billy doesn’t need to ask if Dom is feeling better, because he already knows, and Dom is grateful that Billy is here to take care of him, especially when he’s ill.

At the risk of being repetitive, sweet is definitely a word that comes to mind when reading this. So is tender, gentle, comforting and lovely. Sorry to hear the notebook is empty.

Comfort. Billy brings comfort. That's a line of thought one can easily follow :)
