Abused Chapter 1 |
Ok, special thanks to the Website http://www.yourhealth.com/ahl/1986.html because that’s what a quoted from, and it helped me with pneumonia symptoms.
When Sage was nowhere to be seen, Ryo’s face turned to one filled with worry. Why was his lover not awake at that moment in time? Sage was always up early, so why was he not awake by 10? The time that Ryo himself woke up, which was considerably later then Sage’s waking time? Ryo speedily made his way up the stairs towards his lover’s room. They still didn’t share a room, though most nights were spent together. "Sage?" Ryo called out, as he knocked softly on the door. Sage’s eyes struggled open as he heard the rapping at his door and the sweet tenor voice that he had come to love in more ways then one. "Ryo?" He asked, his voice coarse. He gasped in shock at the weakness in his own voice. He watched the door slid open, and smiled faintly as the other boy came into view. Ryo was so beautiful. His tiger blue eyes shinned in concern, his bronzed skin glowing from the crack of light that shone in the hallway. "Sage, are you Ok?" Ryo asked softly as he walked timidly into the room. Sage groaned and rolled onto his stomach. Though he loved the raven-haired boy, he wasn’t feeling up to any encounters that always seemed to result when one of them was in a bed. "Sweetie?" The onyx boy asked as he sat at the end of the blonde’s bed. Half his bed to be truthful. He was in it enough. Sage moaned in response, banging his head on his pillow. Ryo gently reached out to stroke golden locks. "Are you ok sweetie?" Sage finally willed himself to turn over again so that he could come face to face with Ryo. Ryo gasped the moment he saw Sage’s face. The blonde was flushed and sweaty, his eyes shut and his mouth slightly open due to the fact that his nose was to stuffed up to breath out of. "Love?" "Don’t tell Cye that I am sick." Sage pleaded, as Ryo burst into laughter. He brushed the hair out of the golden boy’s face, and planted a soft kiss on the pale forehead. "You know that I need to tell him about your condition. I don’t know the first thing about taking care of the sick." Sage hung his head limply. Ryo laughed slightly as he lied down next to the blonde, and stroked Sage’s silken hair, running it through his fingers. He glanced over at the sleeping form in the other bed, who had yet to awaken even with the voices in the room. "He’s always this bad isn’t he?" Sage simply nodded, rubbing the side of his face against Ryo’s palm. Ryo smiled as he let his thumb stroke the cheek of the other boy. "Well, I guess that I better get going. I have to go get Cye so that he can tell me how to make you all better." Sage groaned as Ryo kissed his forehead once more, before waltzing out of the room. Sage sighed, his head pounding. He was never sick! Why had he gotten sick now? What was wrong with him? Sage shook his head, trying to clear his mind, but for some reason he couldn’t feel anything within himself. He could usually feel the others, see their thoughts, see their feelings, but for now he couldn’t feel anything but the pain rushing through his head in the form of a raging fever. With annoyance, he shoved his face back into his pillow, trying to get the pain to go away. But it refused to comply, leaving him with only the throbbing within. ~~/~~/~~/~~/~~ "Sage is sick? And he didn’t want to tell me?" Cye demanded as Ryo sighed. "He doesn’t want you spazing over his health. I wouldn’t have even come to you for help, had he not been so sick." "You wouldn’t have?" "Oops. Shouldn’t have said that." "Shouldn’t have is right!" Ryo flinched as Cye scolded him. "I would continue being mad at you, but I have to go check up on Sage." Ryo watched Cye bolt up the stairs. With soft laughter and a toss of his head, Ryo proceeded to follow the other boy. ~~/~~/~~/~~/~~ "Now Sage, what is this I hear about you not wanting me checking up on you?" Sage groaned in response as Cye brought his hand to the boy’s forehead, and immediately pulled it away. "It burns!" He exclaimed, clutching his hand. "You are dying! Ryo, go get the thermometer." Ryo nodded as he gazed down at his lover in sympathy, before racing out of the room. "Hey... what is everyone doing in my room?" Rowen asked as he looked up from his bed. "Rowen, help me...." Sage muttered, ignoring the glare form Cye. Yawning and groggily, Rowen turned to Sage. "Woah, bud, what happened to you?" Sage coughed in answer, hacking for about minute, and gasping for low breath. His hand went to his chest as he struggled to breath. "He’s really sick." Cye stated as Rowen nodded. "But how can he be so sick? He wasn’t out at all yesterday, and none of us are." Cye shrugged. "This may not sound good, but by the looks and sounds of him, he has pneumonia. I mean, it’s not really possible for him to get it. I mean, he was perfectly fine yesterday, and then suddenly, he was dying in bed. Did he tell you anything that might have hinted he was feeling badly at all?" Rowen shook his head. "Nothing at all." Sage shrugged, choosing not to talk. The less he talked, the less he nearly hacked up a lung. "Back!" Ryo exclaimed as he handed the thermometer to Cye. "Ok Sage, you have to keep it under your mouth for a few minutes." Sage glared back at the boy. "I’m coughing so much that I doubt it could read it." Ryo grinned mischievously. "Well love, we could always get you a rectal thermometer." Sage’s eyes widened as he reached out and grabbed the thermometer from Cye’s hands, quickly placing it under his tongue. Ryo laughed as he reached down and kissed his lover on the forehead. "Ryo, I wouldn’t do that love. You could get sick as well. We don’t know is he’s contagious or not." Ryo shrugged. "That’s a risk I’m willing to take." Cye grinned. "Well, as I asked Rowen, did Sage show any signs of feeling ill or anything last night?" Ryo shook his head. "Nope, he was as energy filled as ever in our last night making out sess...." Sage gave Ryo a warning glare, as he blushed. "Oops. Went a little too into detail, didn’t I?" Rowen and Cye nodded in unison. Rowen turned to his computer. "Oh holy internet that I have come to love, help me find out what my comrade has..." Rowen immediately went to his laptop, logging into the Internet. After searching for a few minutes, and after Cye determined that Sage was not going to be going anywhere soon due to his fever of 104.8, Rowen suddenly began laughed profoundly. "Ryo, its all your fault he’s sick!" Ryo turned to him in confusion. "What? How is it my fault?" Rowen grinned as he began to quote some of the information from a Website. " "Pneumonia can be caused by a viral or bacterial infection, but can also be caused by: inhaled objects."" Rowen grinned as Cye burst out laughing. Sage simply hung his head. "How the hell is me giving Ryo head going to get me sick with, of all damned things, pneumonia?" The bluntness of Sage’s words caused everyone else to burst out laughing. "Because the longer it’s in there..." Rowen gave a sideways glance to Ryo, still grinning. "The more likely it is to trap bacteria or such in the lung. Now Ryo, how many times do you make him do these things to you?" Cye grinned. "Yes love, how much?" Ryo flushed in embarrassment at the question. "I don’t need to tell you that!" "Hey, what’s going on in here?" Everyone turned to see Kento in the doorway. Cye grinned. "Were trying to get out of Ryo how many times he has had Sage give him a blo...." Rowen began, but the clammy skin of Sage’s hand covered his mouth. "Rowen, be a dear and shut the hell up." He immediately pulled his hand away from Rowen’s mouth so that he could cover his own as he was racked with more coughs. Ryo winced as he sat at the end of the bed and patted Sage’s back gently. "Man, Sage look’s like hell. What happened?" Rowen grinned. "Ryo made him give one too many blo..." It was Ryo who kicked Rowen to shut him up this time. Cye and Kento burst into laughter. "Well, personally I think that Sage needs to rest, and Cye needs to take care of him, so I’m going to go out and practice some. If you need me, come and get me." Rowen stated, shutting off his computer and gathering his archery gear. "Well, bye guys. Feel better Sage." "Thanks Ro." He muttered, blushing at his voice. His nose was so stuffed up. Rowen grinned, and walked out of the room. Ryo slowly ran his fingers through the golden tresses of Sage’s hair. "Kento, can you go get me a wet rag, or at least something cold to put on Sage’s forehead?" The boy nodded. "But I’m already too cold." Sage muttered, as Ryo wrapped his arms around the boy. "Feverish chills." Ryo stated as Cye nodded in agreement. "Means he still needs it though. Just keep his body warm and his forehead cool. It’s good for him and his fever." Ryo nodded as Kento walked out of the room. "Sage, do you want a bath?" Cye asked as Sage nodded. "It’s supposed to be good for you if you’re sick. As long as it’s lukewarm, and you aren’t left alone." Sage nodded. Cye immediately turned to Ryo. "You do it. For Sage’s modesty, you being the only one that he is used to seeing him nude, you put him in the bath and watch over him." Ryo nodded. "And nothing more then that Ryo." Cye warned as Ryo rolled his eyes. "I’ll be good." Carefully, Ryo lifted up Sage’s body into his arms. "And remember Ryo, lukewarm!" Ryo nodded as he carried his lover off to the bathroom. ~~/~~/~~/~~/~~ Aim was everything to Rowen at that moment. But he couldn’t get the sick swordsman out of his head, as the arrow missed its mark and embedded deep into a trunk of a tree. He growled as he stamped his foot against the forest soil. Sage was with Ryo! Why the hell couldn’t he get the blonde out of his head? Why did the blonde always end up in his dreams? Damn it! The boy was everywhere! Rowen yanked another arrow out of the quiver, and aimed it again, this time hoping to concentrate enough to actually hit the mark. He groaned as he once again missed. "Damn it! Why can’t I just hit the damn mark?" He shouted to nothing in particular. "Maybe because you just haven’t been thinking straight, Strata." "What?" Surprised, Rowen turned, just in time to have something smash across his forehead as he slumped unconscious to the ground. ~~/~~/~~/~~/~~ Sage gasped as he sat up in the bathtub, knocking Ryo’s hand and rag off his chest, as he struggled to rise to his feet. "Rowen!" He cried out as he slipped in the water and fell right into Ryo’s arms. "Sage, love, calm down." Ryo said soothingly, pulling the sickened figure to him. Sage struggled feebly to pull himself from his lovers hold, but failed miserably. "Ryo, something’s wrong with Ro... I have to go..." "You don’t have to go anywhere. You are extremely sick with an illness strong enough to kill you. You are going to stay in bed." Ryo grabbed a towel off the rack and wrapped it around his lover’s body, pulling Sage into his arms. "Love, you need to get some rest." Ryo stated as he carried the boy out of the bathroom and into their room, lying Sage out on the bed. Slowly he brought his lips to Sage’s cheek. "Stay here and rest, love. Kento and I’ll go check on Rowen if you think something’s wrong. Cye’ll stay here with you, ok?" Sage nodded faintly, his eyes drooping. "Don’t worry, Rowen, Kento, and I’ll be back in a little and you’ll see that everything is perfectly alright with him, and with you soon enough, OK?" Sage nodded. "Good, now sleep, angel." Sage nodded as he drifted into the depths of much welcomed and much needed sleep.
