Awww, I hope you feel better! Glad to have made you smile, though. Here, have some CHERIK to brighten up your day (aka Cherik sickness in a short snippet):
Charles blows his nose and coughs heavily into his sleeve. "Stay away from me, Erik," he croaks. "You'll just catch it."
"Shut up, Charles," Erik says, and climbs into bed with him, wraps his arms around Charles's shivering frame, and turns on one of the mind-numbingly boring biology documentaries Charles likes to watch. They stay like that until Charles's shallow, stuffy breaths deepen into sleep. Then Erik powers the TV off, switches off the lamp, and pulls the covers up around them.
When Erik wakes up in the morning, his head is pounding and his nose is running. "Oh god," Charles groans when he sees it. "Now you're sick too. I'm so sorry."
Erik buries his head back into his pillow and pulls Charles closer, winding his arm around Charles's waist to trap him back in bed. "Worth it," he says, and means it.
