First Sick Day
Fortunately for Doppio it was a complete normal day, until he woke up.
Unfortunately for Doppio when he woke up his head was pounding and it felt as if god took him and stuffed his head with cotton and put him down again. Since when was it so bright?
Somehow he felt hot and cold at the same time, dizzy and tired. ‘What time is it?’ Doppio thought to himself as he grabbed his phone. 12:18pm, with multiple calls and text from his worried lovers. Doppio attempted to stand but his legs were as if they were jelly and refused to cooperate completely.
Defeated, Doppio laid back down as his eyelids felt heavier each passing moment when he allowed to be sent back to the comforting darkness of sleep.
But with Doppi’s lovers, was a completely different story.
It was 7:45am, school was about to be in session and Hex, Ver, Zaion, Meloco, and Kotoka were all seated in the student council room, waiting for Doppio. Doppio was known to be late but now they had started to worry as the clock ticked, apparently signaling to the 5 of them that something horrid had happened to Doppio.
The bell had rung, class was started very soon, they now had to go their separate ways for classes but their minds were still on their beloved sunshine.
After the first class, Meloco had texted the group chat containing the 6 of them, hoping for a response from Pio, unfortunately she hasn’t received a reply.
Out of all of them, Ver was definitely the most concerned. He had known Doppio much longer than anyone else.
Another class had passed an they had all met each other back at the student council room.
“So, no one has seen Pp?” Asked Zaion, anxiously chewing on her lip. “Nope, I haven’t received any response from my text nor calls.” Hex replied.
“Maybe he just overslept? Doppio is notorious for doing that.” Kotoka said, hoping to soften the atmosphere. “Possibly, how about if he isn’t here all day we’ll go to his house.” Ver suggested. “But what if he doesn’t answer the door?” Asked Meloco, “I have a spare key” Ver said with a slight smirk.
They all agreed, hoping Doppi would show up soon, he did not.
Doppio had awoken a 2nd time, this time he felt exceptionally worse. He now felt nauseated and his head was no better, maybe even worse. Luckily Doppio had a small trash can next to his bed considering his body refused to move and he wouldn’t make it far even if he tried. In the next passing moments a sickly gag could be heard from Pio, followed by a disturbing sound.
‘Jeez, what did I do to deserve this hell?’ Doppio silently thought, wishing he had someone with him to assist him through this.
Now it was 2:37pm, he had saw, what looked like hundreds of text and calls. All from his worried partners.
Doppio barely even opened a message before this body was hit with a round of harsh coughs.
It felt like it took forever for him to stop coughing, as Doppio just snuggled into his blanket even more.
…
School has just ended and the students rushed to exit the building. The 5 of them were no exception. As they rushed into Hex’s car and scurried off to Doppio’s house.
When they had arrived Ver had unlocked the door and they were met with silence. When they heard a few coughs coming from Pio’s room.
The 5 of they quickly set off towards his room, slowly opening the door, there was a lump of blankets on top of the bed and in the middle, was a pale-looking Doppio, fast asleep.
As soon as they set eyes on Doppio they had known something was wrong, he looked sickly and pale, his usual well groomed hair was messy.
Meloco was the first to do something, she approached Doppio and put the back of her hand on his forehead, “Fuck, he’s burning up.” She concluded. Which added onto their worries. “Hey sunshine, can you wake up for me?” Meloco asked softly, she was always the most motherly one out of all of them. Pio stirred slightly and then slowly opened his eyes. He made a small whining noise and closed his eyes again sharply.
Meloco frowned at that, without a word she got up and headed for the kitchen, the 4 of them assumed that she had gone to retrieve medicine.
The rest of them had moved closed to Doppio’s bed. Hex had moved a hair out of Doppio’s face and put a small kiss on this forehead. Meloco had came back with a thermometer, water and some medicine.
“Say awww” Meloco said to get Pio to open his mouth, which he did, after a few minutes. The thermometer beeped and Meloco looked at it with a frown. “103f” she announced.
“Pp, can you sit up so you can take some medicine.” Zaion asked with a small grunt. It took some time but after the medicine his fever had gone down a bit, but it was still high.
Pio had mumbled one word, “cuddle.” His voice was croaking but none of his parents would refuse. So they climbled into his ridiculously sized bed.
It was silent but it was comfortable, Kotoka was running her hands though Pio’s hair while the others surrounded him and soon enough, Pio had fallen fast asleep.
“He’s so adorable” Hex had said admiring the sleeping Doppi. The others had softly agreed, Ver even taking a picture of the adorable sunshine they loved so badly.
This was everything they could ever ask for.
