Sick Love (Skylox)

Sky sneezed. Again. Deadlox, Jason, and Mitch, who were assigned to care for a sick Sky while the others did work around the Army, snickered.

Sky shivered, sticking his tongue out at them,"Have you no respect for the dead?" He grumbled. Jason simply snickered some more,"Well, for one thing, you aren't dead. The other thing is that your sneeze is just so...petite."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sky spat, afterwards coughing violently and sniffling. Mitch suppressed a huge laugh, just barely able to manage a giggle.

The angry look Sky gave them only handed them more reasons to laugh. Deadlox laughed at their banters. They were so immature at times. Then again, Deadlox was like that, too, so who was he to judge? He coughed very subtly(not) to get them to stop,"Okay, I think we've made fun of Sky enough now. Why don't you guys go upstairs? I'll handle the big baby."

A "hey!" from the butter king made Jason and Mitch chortle. Mitch finally calmed down and said,"What are we supposed to do upstairs?"

"I don't know. Play a damn card game or something." Deadlox suggested, shrugging. A momentary silence fell upon the room before Jason whispered something to Mitch. Mitch's eyes widened, and he giggled gleefully, nodding at the astronaut. The pair was running up the stairs in a flash.

Sky and Deadlox raised an eyebrow in confusion,"What the hell was that?" Sky said dryly, coughing as he spoke. Deadlox simply sat down next to Sky.

Sky pouted, huffing,"Fine. Don't answer me freaking question, why don't you." He said indignantly, turning away. Deadlox rolled his eyes, flicking the back of his friend's head,"I don't know how to answer it because I don't know the answer, genius." He shot back, only receiving a dry cough as an answer.

There was a silence that passed between them for a moment, and then Deadlox cleared his throat, twiddling his thumbs idly,"Do you...want some soup?"

"...Soup would be nice."

Deadlox stood and walked into the kitchen,Well...that could've been less awkward.

Sighing, Deadlox began to prepare the soup.

Meanwhile, Sky had begun to shiver violently again,"Oh, great." He muttered under his breath. He sniffled,"Dead-?" Coughs racking his sides interrupted him saying his friend's name. He opened his mouth again, but coughs stopped him once more. He was coughing nonstop now, and he could feel himself slowly losing breath.

"Sky?" Deadlox walked in, hearing his continuous coughing. The soup was halfway done, and Deadlox was about to scold him lightly for interrupting him.

Deadlox gasped,"Sky! W-What the hell is wrong?!"

Sky took in a shaky breath, attempting to get air in his lungs with no success,"I-I-"

"No! Shut up, do not talk, you idiot!" Deadlox ordered, beginning to stress out. Sky was thrown into another coughing fit, way past the point of trying to convey a message. All he could think was try to breath, try to breath. 

Footsteps were coming down the stairs,"D-Deadlox? Sky? You okay down there?" Jason called. Deadlox hissed,"No, we are not okay! Sky's having a coughing fit down here, and he's gonna lose all of his air supply if it keeps on going!"

The footsteps came more hurriedly now, Mitch and Jason screeching to a halt at the bottom of the staircase. Their faces froze when they saw Sky's shaky figure and Deadlox's worried poise.

"Ah, fuck." Mitch muttered under his breath, running over with Jason right on his heels,"What did you do?"

"What did I do?! I just wanted to make soup for Sky! I didn't realize he'd start coughing nonstop!" Deadlox exclaimed. "Shut your mouth, both of you." Jason snarled quietly, beginning to massage Sky's throat.

Slowly, Sky's coughing began to die down to a wheeze. Deadlox breathed out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"T-Thanks..." Sky whispered. Jason and Mitch sighed with relief.

Suddenly, Deadlox surged forward and kissed Sky on the lips for a minute before breaking away,"Don't you dare do that again!" He hissed worriedly. Sky covered his mouth, blushing madly. Deadlox finally realized what he had done, and he, too, started to blush,"I-It was the-" He stuttered, trying to explain.

Sky leaned in and kissed Deadlox back. Blinking in surprise, Deadlox finally recovered from his shock and deepened the kiss, his blush turning down a degree. Jason and Mitch squealed, giggling internally. "Finally!" Mitch shouted.

"Oh, screw off, you two." Sky mumbled when he broke away from the kiss. Jason burst out laughing,"Uh, I think you mean "screw him," Sky."

Sky snorted, turning back to Deadlox and picking him up bridal-style,"That's sounds like a plan...right after I snog you again."

"I'm guessing this is better than soup?" Deadlox asked giddily.

"Way better."
