The rain steadily falling down, kept what he missed plastered to his head. His cheeks felt hot and breathing felt difficult for some reason. ‘Course he couldn’t exactly think straight at the moment, which was a problem. He’d started feeling like shit that morning but went out to town anyway. He was craving some fruit and went to the market looking for some. He’d found them alright and ate them on the way home, but then the rain had started and he was having a hard time staying awake.
He couldn’t remember the path to the house looking so blurry, or being so muddy… or where the house was. Keeping a hand against his head to ease the ache developing in it, Jude scanned the horizon for his home. He could see it off to the side, not too far away actually, so he must not have wandered too far off the path. There was a tree closer to him though. Maybe he could sit down for a few moments and gather his strength before traipsing the rest of the way home. He groaned in relief as the weight was taken off his aching knees. As he leaned back and closed his eyes to the sound of softly falling rain, a pokeball fell from his belt and rolled a short ways and knocked into a pebble. The bounce opened the ball and a Roselia appeared.
Ruth Spun around and did her customary pose, believing her trainer had released her for another fight. As she opened her eyes though the grass type, cooed in concern as she saw Jude’s limp form and red cheeks. Climbing onto his chest Ruth brushed his eyes with her roses. Rose? Roselia? Rose rosel! ROSE! She called out to him, growing more agitated when he didn’t wake up. She’d triedto convince him not to go out that morning and he hadn’t listened. Now look what he’d done. Ugh! Men!
Jude fluttered back to consciousness by thorny feet digging into his chest and petals being roughly slapped against his face. “Ruth? ‘sat you?” The Roselia visibly sagged in relief though her tone remained stern.
Roselia! Rose rose! Ruth peered down at him in concern.
“Yeah… Don’ think I’m doin’ to well. Can ya get someone?” Jude reached up to caress her face and Ruth covered his fingers with a rose.
Rose! Still not comfortable leaving her trainer there in the condition, Ruth was reluctant to leave. She knew though that he needed help. Dashing off has fast as she possibly could, the grass type searched out the first capable human she could find. Jude for his part, just let his eyes fall closed again and slipped into a light fevered sleep.
Spotting a familiar tanned body and shock of blue hair she went wild, throwing poison sting past him and shouting. ROSE! ROSELIA! ROSELIA! She beat at Xan’s legs with her roses. They were getting bent and crimped in all the drama but that wasn’t important right now. Her trainer needed her!

It was supposed to be a simple task, one that should have taken him no more than a handful of minutes. The instructions from his father had been clear: go outside, make sure the tool shed was locked up, get back inside. Instead, Xan came across tool after tool that had been left out in the rain, and instantly a simple task her turned into a full on search that left Xan’s blood boiling beneath the surface. It didn’t help either that Josie wanted to play. The Venipede rolled against his leg and cooed, trying to urge him to hurry up so they could practice like he’d promised. But instead of bending down to reassure her with a pat, he gave her a gentle push aside with his foot, sending her rolling in the opposite direction. ”Venipede!” She wasn’t pleased, but she was going to have to wait. Unfortunately she didn’t seem to understand that. She rolled against him a second time and Xan all but growled. He had to fight the urge not to yell at her, because really it wasn’t her fault that the new hires were a bunch of incompetent asses. Slamming the door shut, he turned and scanned the grounds from where he stood, ignoring Josie as she continued to roll against him. So far, it seemed as though he had everything taken care of but- ”Shit.” Out across the field, one of the mowers, a new model he was certain the Walker’s had paid a fortune for. Xan started to jog in that direction, huffing and growling and cursing with each step that pounded against the now sloppy ground. Whoever had left that particular piece of equipment out was going to hear from Xan himself, and they’d be lucky if all they received was a “talk down” from him. Josie, not content to let Xan be, rolled after him, stopping only when she sensed a familiar move brush past her trainer. She pulled up just as Xan spun on his heel, and they both turned in time to catch Ruth speeding towards them. Oh, a battle! But wait, this wasn’t right, where was Jude? There was no time to give a quiring sound - from the panic that Ruth displayed, it was obvious something wasn’t right. Xan knew something was wrong the instant he felt the light brush of air pass over his shoulder. He’d turned to see if it was Josie, trying to be “helpful” again, but instead he saw Ruth in a panic. A sliver of the emotion filled his own stomach, and grew when he realized Jude wasn’t following her. When Ruth started to beat at him with her roses, Xan lifted her up and looked at her closely. “Take me to him.” When he set her down, she took off, and he followed without question. As they rushed through the muddy slope of the road, slid and made their way down a small hill, the panic in Xan’s stomach started to flare. It churned, making his insides cramp with an unfamiliar pinch of worry. Instead of being soothed when he spotted Jude in the distance, the feeling intensified until his body thrummed with a need to reach his friend. He skidded to a halt in front of Jude and noted the tinge to his face, knew without having to feel him that his skin would be hot to the touch. ”Stupid little... Jude? Hey Jude, open your damn eyes, we’re getting soaked here.” He gripped the other man’s chin and gave his head a shake, hoping it would jerk him into the here and now, and maybe belay some of his own fears in the process.[/style] [style=font-size: 10px; text-align: center;]TEMPLATE BY SAMARECARM OF OTE + BTN[/style]

Then came the aching in his body and then Xan’s voice. His eyebrows furrowed and he groaned in protest. Why did he need to open his eyes? He was semi-comfortable and sleepy, no need to be getting up and traipsing around. If Xan wasn’t so damn insistent and grating on Jude’s befuddled nerves, he would’ve just went back to sleep. Instead he had to go through all the trouble of trying to pry his eyes open. They weren’t heavy or particularly confusing to open, the light that assaulted them, dimmed by the clouds as it was, still hurt a little. The headache building behind his eyes and sinuses throbbed as the muscles in his eyes tried to focus on the blurry shapes above him.
Rose? Ruth softly petted one of his cheeks, more concerned that irritated now. He lifted a hand to pat her head.
“Good girl. Wasn’t expectin’ him to be the closest help but… Jude frowned at how raspy his voice sounded. Certainly it wasn’t that bad earlier. He was pretty sure he’d come down with a cold, it wasn’t like he could catch much of anything else. Shifting his swaying vision to Xan he smiled a dopy grin and gripped the man’s shirt with his closest hand. The vertigo was a little unnerving and the feel of the material against his fingers and the warmer body beneath grounded him. “Hey… Seems I’m not feelin’ to well right now. Think you could help me inside?”
Jude tried to sit up a little better in succeeded. However when he tried to shift his weight forward and up he waivered on filly weak legs and toppled into Xan’s chest. Grunting his surprise and discomfort he none the less buried his face into the man’s shoulder. His body curled in closer to what felt like a furnace to his cold damp skin. “Carry me?” Jude turned on the puppy eyes.

It was kind of sweet, almost, but now wasn’t the time to think of cute and fuzzy. Now was the time to think of how to get Jude back to the estate without much issue. There was the pathway to the kitchen - he could get Jude something hot to eat and drink there. But really, Xan didn’t think the other man was in any shape to be sitting up right now, or eating for that. What he needed was dry clothing and a warm bed. Xan’s eyes darkened momentarily at the thought, and what followed with it, but he was quick to bury it and even faster to place his hands on Jude’s shoulders to steady him. He drummed his fingers on the soaked material and shook his head, trying to resist the allure of that dopey grin. He’d already managed to chase off Improper Thoughts One, it was too soon for a Round Two. ”Want to know something, too?” He gave one of Jude’s damp locke’s a tug. ”You look like shit, Diva. We can’t be having that now, can we?”Helping Jude back to the estate wasn’t even something he needed to answer. He would anyway - he wasn’t stupid enough to leave the Walker’s boy out in the rain, for one - and pushing to his feet, he stepped back while Jude attempted to stand himself. Good thing he didn’t move far since he soon found himself with a chestful of Jude. It was a nice chestful, would have been pleasant in any other circumstances - what, with the way Jude was burying his face in Xan’s shoulder and all - but the rain was coming down heavier and Jude’s breathing didn’t sound very good. He put a hand over Jude’s face to hide the puppy eyes - welcome back Improper Thoughts! - before bending down to lift him up. ”Good thing I’m used to hauling crap heavier than you.” He muttered as he stepped away from the tree and headed back up the hill. ”Make sure you hold on, Precious. Wouldn’t want you to fall or anything.” With Jude properly nestled in his arms, and Ruth settled with Jude, Xan felt comfortable jogging slowly up the hill. He stopped every so often to walk up a particularly slippery slope or patch, but then he continued at a brisk pace. Josie was waiting for them when he approached the house, and the Venipede launched herself at Xan’s pant leg, clinging to the fabric once she hit it. ”Good girl.” Xan murmured before deciding to take one of the side entrances. ”I’ll have you all snug and nestled in your bed soon enough. You’ve got that fireplace, right? I’ll set one before I get you tucked in. Check on you tonight and everything.”[/style] [style=font-size: 10px; text-align: center;] Pokemon Party:TEMPLATE BY SAMARECARM OF OTE + BTN[/style]

He nodded his head in sympathy and clicked his tongue on the roof of his mouth. ”Afraid to admit you look anything but perfect? Ah, I see how that is. Shame your hair’ll be sticking on end, even after it dries. Best hope that fever doesn’t wash away your complexion either. Take away all those Diva good looks of yours.” He wrinkled his nose when Jude reminded him of just how sick he was, and he shook his head. No time for teasing really, though it was impossible not to when Jude made it so easy. Oh well, soon enough he’d be passing the other man’s care off to someone else and then he could go change and figure out a way to distract himself until bed. Then Jude had to shift those plans, and Xan looked down at him. Really? Was someone, somewhere trying to test him? First the issue with the equipment being left out, then jogging through the rain, and now having to... well, of course he was going to have to share his bed with Jude. He wanted so, so much to grab his hair and whack his head against something. Yes, this was a test. Of his patience and his wills. He couldn’t very well say no either. He’d hear about it, or not, and the chances of Jude never speaking to him were too great. Regardless of what he was thinking or feeling in that moment, Xan didn’t like the idea of not being in the gijinka’s company again. It left a bitter taste in his mouth, one that he didn’t want a repeat of. So, he gave in. ”Alright. But don’t you dare hog my blankets tonight.” It was meant to come out as a threat, but instead seemed soft, almost caring. Xan wrinkled his face at that and changed his course, this time heading for the building that housed the workers rather than the main estate. Once there, he cautiously opened the door and listened for any sound, but everyone would probably be eating, working, or asleep at this point. He slid inside and shut the door behind him, then heading for his room which was up a flight of stairs and in an area where the rest of the gardening staff lived. He paused at the door, this time again to listen for any sounds from the neighboring rooms and hearing none, Xan carried Jude into his room. ”Here we are.” Warmth bloomed through him, causing him to shiver at the chill the wet, sticky clothing created over his skin. He had to get them both undressed and into something dry before he became sick, or Jude sicker. Undressed... ”I swear I’m being tempted.” He muttered under his breath before lowering Jude into a chair. ”I’ll let you wear something of mine tonight. Hopefully your clothes will be dry by morning.” He went to the dresser and drew out pants and shirts, set them aside, then turned to Jude with a handful of clothes shoved toward him. ”Now, are you going to be able to change yourself, or does that duty fall on me?” |

He remained where he was, holding the clothes out, ready to lunge forward if Jude toppled, but everything seemed to steady itself out. He was glad they were finally in the warmth, and he knew that probably helped to a certain degree. When Jude reached for the clothing, he relinquished it without issue, then stepped back and crossed his arms over his chest. ”Oh, you could have fooled me. Last I heard you had someone deciding what you wore, how you wore it, and they even dressed you in it.”The tone was light and teasing, a playful jab he might have thrown out there in the past at some point. He pulled off his damp shirt and went to hang it up near the heat source, then kicked off his shoes and socks and did the same. ”And invalid though you may be, you’re still going to be sleeping in my bed.” He held up a finger while he pulled out an extra quilt his mother had made him prior to her death. So if you get both of the blankets, then I’m going to squirrel away the pillows for myself.”Any further words died on his lips when he realized Jude was starting to change. He quickly turned away, grimacing as the first slosh of wet fabric reached his ears from over his shoulder. He could picture it in his mind so clearly, and that disturbed him on a certain level. He’d known Jude since they were little, having the thoughts that he did about his friend weren’t exactly proper. Xan frowned at this and undid his belt, then spared a glance over his shoulder to check on Jude’s progress. Only it turned into something else entirely when he saw that not only was Jude fine, but he was watching over his own shoulder. Xan’s eyes seemed glued to the other man as little by little, more and more skin was revealed. He shivered, and growled, and twisted the fabric in his hands tightly around his fingers. He shouldn’t be looking, yet he couldn’t look away. His eyes narrowed at this, and they soon darkened with something else entirely. "If you're going to give me a show, should I be paying you for it?"[/style] [style=font-size: 10px; text-align: center;] Pokemon Party:TEMPLATE BY SAMARECARM OF OTE + BTN[/style]

He pulled off his pants, tugged the dry ones on, and while tying the string around his waist, he went to check on Josie. She was dry and comfortable in her little spot, a homemade bed that she was trying to urge Ruth to join her on. It would be comfortable for them both, and it was a good spot to watch their trainers for the night. Xan shook his head at that and turned to see Jude seated on the edge of the bed, then flopping over. He shook his head again and moved to yank the blankets back. ”You should be covered up.” He wanted nothing more than to crawl in himself, but first he had to make sure their clothes were strung up so that they’d dry. He wasn’t so worried about his own garments as he was Jude’s, and those he placed closest to the heat. ”By the way, I forgive you for getting my sheets and pillows soaked.” After hanging up the clothes, he grabbed the quilt he’d pulled out earlier and threw that over Jude as well. ”Remember my mother? She made this for me when I moved into my old room. You’d better take care of it tonight.” He moved to shift Jude so that he had plenty of pillows under his head, and only then did Xan make any attempt to crawl into the bed himself. He sighed and wanted to sprawl, like he normally did, but he had to remember that he wasn’t alone. It was rare that he had company - in fact, this was the first time anyone had ever been in his bed with him, and Josie didn’t count - so he curled an arm over his chest and crossed his long legs at the ankle to keep his legs in one place. ”You comfortable enough over there?” He turned to look at Jude, a moment of concern coloring his features. ”Or do you need another blanket?”[/style] [style=font-size: 10px; text-align: center;] Pokemon Party:TEMPLATE BY SAMARECARM OF OTE + BTN[/style]

One set of aches were relieved by not standing on them, but a whole new set made themselves known as he had nothing else to concentrate on. Well the chills were still wracking his body and were aggravating the aches so he had nothing good to concentrate on instead. At least his nose wasn’t running like a river yet. Instead his sinuses felt a little stuffed, which could’ve been from the headache or the ache was so bad he didn’t realize he was stuffed up.
“Ugh…” Jude whined snuggling into the covers thrown over him. He fingered the quilt, running his fingers along the stitching. He didn’t understand why Xan would’ve given him something so special, but he appreciated the gesture none the less, he was freezing still after all. If he didn’t know the heat was already on he would’ve begged Xan to turn it up.
He stayed still as Xan climbed in and rubbed one flushed cheek against the pillow beneath and waited. Jude could practically feel the heat radiating off of the man and he shifted so their bodies were touching. That wasn’t enough so he drapped one arm over Xan’s chest, rested his head just underneath his friends and tucked the rest of his body in as close as he could get. “M comfortable enough. You’re warm.” Jude sighed as warmth seeped into his seemingly cold body. He would probably over heat and sweat all over Xan but he didn’t care. Sleep was so close and his mind was already shutting off and as his eyes drooped, Jude valiantly tried to hold on to consciousness.

He sucked in a breath, hoping it was just a momentary thing, or perhaps that was as close as Jude was going to get. But no, he couldn’t be so lucky. A second later and Jude was flopped half-on him, snuggling in ever closer to try and suck away whatever warmth was coming off of Xan’s body. Not once did he seem to notice the way Xan was holding himself, frozen as if afraid to move. For several long, agonizing moments, Xan laid their, counting to himself as he willed his body to stop thrumming with the excitement of having a body so close - and not just any body, but Jude’s. This was his friend, and not only his friend, but the son of his employers. It wasn’t as if he was able to enjoy it, and even if he could he’d be hesitant to for that reason alone. He had to think of Jude, that was the simple fact of the matter. If he didn’t, then Jude would likely fall even worse under the fever gripping him, and then Xan would be stuck with guilt, an emotion that was entirely unworthy of him. He swallowed around the lump in his throat and resisted the urge to nuzzle the top of Jude’s head with his cheek. ”Good. You’ll be warmed up soon enough.”Gently, his fingers reached up from under the blanket and he pressed the backs of them to Jude’s face - forehead, cheeks, chin. He was entirely too warm, and shivering, and from what he knew, that wasn’t good. ”Can’t have you waking up sick in the morning. But if you do well... I suppose that means I’ll get to take care of you.” Which would mean taking time away from his own work but... his father would understand. So would the Walker’s if they knew. ”Ready to go to sleep yet?”[/style] [style=font-size: 10px; text-align: center;] Pokemon Party:TEMPLATE BY SAMARECARM OF OTE + BTN[/style]

Go to sleep now.” Xan pulled his hand away just as Jude pulled the quilt over his face. It gave him a small measure of privacy, a few moments to lay back and think to himself without having to see Jude there. This was crazy, how was he going to explain this one to his father in the morning? ”No sir, I’m sorry sir, I have to take care of Jude because he’s sick in my bed, sir.” Yeah, that’d go over really well. He flopped back, despite laying down, and wondered if he was even going to be able to sleep. From the weight and the feel of him, Jude was on his way to sleeping himself, if not totally unaware already. Xan lifted the quilt to peek in underneath and noticed that yes, Jude was in fact asleep. He took the chance to look over at the two Pokemon and noticed they were both asleep. And yet he was still awake, trapped in his own thoughts with no way to escape them, and no way to escape the cause of them either. He remained as still as possible, not wishing to wake Jude, and every so often he’d snug the other man closer, blaming it on reflexes instead of himself. Finally, after what seemed like hours, his eyes started to grow heavy, and Xan finally fell asleep.[/style] [style=font-size: 10px; text-align: center;] Pokemon Party:TEMPLATE BY SAMARECARM OF OTE + BTN[/style]

He was sticky and a bit sweaty, though the skin that was exposed was chilled. He groaned softly as he pried one eye open to peer at the clock. Three in the morning… he’d slept longer than he thought he would. Xan still seemed to be asleep if the slow rate of his breathing was any indicator. Yet Jude had to go pee and by that he meant he REALLY had to go.
Jude dragged himself upright and peered across what seemed a vast distance to the door. The bathroom was down the hall right? Wait… or was this the housing that had en suite bathrooms? He spotted another door on the far wall and sighed in relief. He might actually be able to make it that far. The blonde levered himself up onto his knees and crawled gracelessly across Xan’s legs. The floor was ice cold to his feet and the gijinka shivered. He almost went back to bed after that, but he couldn’t ignore his bladder.
Jude tottered on his feet, but the room was so dark he couldn’t tell if it was because his vision was swimming or not. Shuffling forward he felt out the floor in the darkness. However his toe caught on the corner of something and he face planted… HARD. The thump was loud, as was Jude painfilled groan. Not only was his face smarting but the pounding in his head was excruciating. To hell with the bathroom, he was going to stay where he was and just piss on the floor or something. He couldn’t handle all of this right now.
