Another Nick and Charlie sick fanfic, because I love these ones.

It was a beautiful summer day, not a cloud in the sky, the temperature warm but comfortable. Charlie Spring was on his way to hang out with his boyfriend at the beach. He knocked on the Nelson front door, and was greeted by Nellie and Mrs. Nelson. "Hi Nellie" Charlie said bending down to scratch behind her ears. "hi Mrs. Nelson" "Hello Charlie, how are you?" Sarah said pulling him into a hug. "I'm good, Nick and I are going to the beach!" Sarah stared at him with a confused expression on her face. "oh did Nick not tell you? He isn't feeling too well today, poor boy woke up with a horrible fever, and achiness." Charlie was concerned. "no he didn't tell me that, is he okay? Could I see him?" "of course sweetie" Charlie and Sarah headed up the stairs, and softly knocked on Nick's bedroom door. "Nicky? Charlie's here" his mum said walking over to her son. She softly stroked the sweaty hair off of Nick's forehead, and felt his skin burning up. "oh honey, you're burning up! I'll be right back with some paractemol" Sarah left, passing by Charlie, and giving him a look that said "watch over him for me please?" Charlie walked over to Nick's bed, and sat down near the end of it. "Nick? It's me, how are you feeling?" Nick rolled over and slowly opened his eyes. "hi Char" he said with a raspy voice. "I feel awful, I'm so achy, and my head hurts" Charlie's heart broke at how miserable his boyfriend sounded. "oh Nick, it's okay I'm here to help you feel you better" "can we cuddle? Because that's all I want right now." Charlie moved closer on the bed, and got under the covers beside his ailing boyfriend. Nick wrapped his arms around Charlie and laid his aching head on his chest. A little while later, Nick's mum came back with some medicine, and a cool cloth to help with his fever. "I also brought you some soup" Sarah said handing the medicine and water to her son. "thanks mum, I'm not very hungry though" she frowned at that, and squeezed his arm comfortingly. "Could you try to eat something Nicky? Please?" Nick wanted to make his mum happy, but he just didn't feel like eating. Everything hurt, and he was so weak. But to put his mum at ease he promised to try to eat a little soup. "thank you honey, eat a little bit, then take your medicine okay?" Nick just nodded, and Sarah stepped out again. "okay babe, I'm gonna help you eat okay?" Charlie said helping his boyfriend sit up. Charlie's heart sank at how weak Nick must feel because he struggled to lean back against his bed. "okay, here's some soup" Charlie helped Nick take a few spoon fulls of soup before he pushed it away saying he couldn't eat anymore. "that's okay babe, at least you ate a little bit" Nick took his medicine, then laid back down on Charlie's chest. They stayed like this for a little while, until around 2:00 Nick started wimpering in his sleep, and let out some coughs. Charlie just stroked his hair to reassure Nick he was okay. Eventually Nick shot awake coughing uncontrollably, Charlie just rubbed his back wishing he could help in some way. The coughing subsided and Nick was spent after the fit. "it's okay, love. Did that hurt?" Nick nodded and collasped into Charlie's arms, starting to cry. "oh baby it's okay, you'll feel better soon" Charlie let Nick cry it out, when he was done he fell back asleep. Sarah came up to check on them. "hey Charlie how is he?" she asked. "he's so sick, he woke up coughing so hard I was afraid he would pull a muscle or something." Charlie said rubbing his hand up and down Nick's arm. "poor baby, he's still running quite a fever there." She said feeling Nick's forehead again. "if his fever doesn't break in the next hour, or if he coughs really hard again we might have to take him to the hospital. Nick woke up coughing hard again, barely able to breathe, and he coughed up some blood. "char, I think something's really wrong with me." Nick said scared when he saw the blood. "Don't worry, we're gonna get you some help" Sarah drove them to the hospital, walking in and immediatly having Nick get an X-Ray. After the X-Rays were done, the doctors discovered that Nick has double pneumonia. They gave his mum some anitbotics for Nick to take for the next couple weeks, and they were on their way home. Once back in his bed, the boys were snuggled up with each other, Nick had coughed harshly again, then took his meds. "Char, my sides hurt" Nick said through soft coughs. "I'm sorry baby, here let me message them for you." Charlie gently rubbed Nick's sides to help with the pain. "that feels a bit better thanks." "of course love, I'd do anything for you. I love you" "love you too" Once Nick had his antibiotic, he was exhausted and sore. The boys spent the night together, just sleeping in each other's arms. "I'm not going anywhere my love, I hope you feel better" Charlie softly whispered. I'm such a lucky guy to have him in my life.

The End
