Doc Alain

It's two o'clock in the afternoon and Alain didn't notice how long he had been in that room with Arielle. In the past few hours, him and Arielle are together in there, imagine what can happen if Arielle is not sick. It was still raining outside and Edrien brought his car so he had no choice even if he wanted to leave.

Suddenly the door opens, it was Bernard. He saw Alain staring on Arielle.

"Is he awake?"

"Do you see him awake?" Alain thought Bernard would make fight with again for what he said but he was even calmer than he used to be. Bernard lets out a deep sigh.

"He's not yet eaten or taken his medicine." Bernard added.

"When he wakes up, can you help him eat and give him medicine? There are so many costumers downstairs, I am busy helping our staffs."

"No, do it yourself." Alain answered sparingly.

"Please? Just this time. You take care of him first, thank you." he said and left the room. Alain was left with Arielle again and he's disgusted for what Bernard said.

Alain looked at Arielle again. He's sleeping while wrapped in a blanket, he's also shaking, Alain thought it's because of the aircon, but its not. Alain wants to know if Arielle still has a fever but he's afraid that Arielle might wake up and see that he is assisting him.

He's still mad at Arielle for what he says about his girlfriend. He just didn't inform his girlfriend about that for it will make the things messier.

He's become more worried when he notice Arielle shaking badly. Alain stood up and he checked the aircon, but it's turned off. He fixed Arielle's blanket. He still have a fever. It doesn't seem like his body temp is cooling down. So he thought of repeating what Bernard did earlier.

Before KC and the other boys left, Bernard undressed Arielle and wiped him with a towel soaked in lukewarm water.

Alain's phone suddenly beeps. Bernard texted him.

"Please check if Arielle's fever has gone. Thanks." Alain got disgusted but at some point, follow Bernard's request.

He took the towel, dipped it in warm water and squeezed it. He doesn't know if he's doing it right, and if it's really required to remove his clothes.

Arielle suddenly woke up. The moment that he is kneeling down to wipe him

Arielle saw him in that position.

"Why are you already awake? Just go back to sleep. Forever." Alain faked his anger and can't keep his stare on Arielle who's also staring at him. He's suppose to be mad.

"Why are you here?" Alain thinks Arielle is stupid for asking him that question. They are the owner of the shop yet he's asking him that thing.

"I also wonder why I am here and they ask me if I can be your nurse for today. Well I have no choice so I agreed." He really is pretending to be angry. Alain is also shaking for no reason.

Arielle smiles. Alain saw it that makes him surprised and accidentally touches Arielle's forehead heavily.

"Ouch." he looks hurt. He is also very hot.

"What am I going to do with this person?" Alain thought himself.

"Sorry. I was just shocked." He feels weird because of the trembling of his hand. His whole system is messed up and he can't explain why.

"Your fever is still high." He moved a bit away from Arielle, to escape from that weird position of them, but he was still kneeling close to him. Arielle was just looking at him.

"Does your head hurt? Are you feeling cold? Hungry? Tell me I'll get you some food." Alain asked one question after another. He doesn't know what he's saying and all of a sudden maybe that came out of his mouth. It seems like a while ago he did not want to interfere or even touch him.

"My head hurts." He has not eaten yet.

"You have to eat first so you can take your medicine. Stay here and wait for me." Alain left him and went downstairs. He thought Bernard was just joking a while ago when he said that there are many costumers downstairs, but there are really a lot of people.

"Hey Bernardo..." he calls him that way when he wants to tease Bernard.

"What did you say?"

"I mean, Bernard. Just kidding." Alain even tapped him on the shoulder, opefully it's effective.

"When did you learn to brag a joke?" Bernard seriously said.

"What do you need? I know you need something so you went here." he got it

"I'm hungry. I want some soup." Alain said. He didn't tell its for Arielle because he doesn't want him to know that he's taking care of Arielle.

"As you can see, there are many people in line waiting for their order. You should line up with them." Alain said unholy words in his mind.

"Hi Miss. Can I go first?" Alain said to some women in line and they let him be in front. He smiled to tease Bernard.

"Now I'm here in front, can you now take my order?" Bernard have no choice but to get his order.

He headed back at the office carrying the tray with soup and of course, two slices of triple chocolate cake for him. He caught Arielle who was already sitting but still wrapped in a blanket.

"Hey, I thought your head hurts? Why did you get up?" He touched Arielle's forehead, he was still hot.

"How can I eat if I'm lying down?" Arielle said that makes Alain changed his mood.

"Here. Eat it yourself. I even get you that food downstairs." He handed the spoon to Arielle.

He looked at Arielle as he ate. His hand was shaking and the soup on the spoon were thrown away before he could even put it in his mouth. Alain sighs. Never think in his wildest dreams that he would do this.

"Give me your spoon." He suddenly took the spoon from him.

"Open your mouth." He said but Arielle just keep staring at him.

"I said open your mouth. Maybe you want me to open your mouth too?" He's annoyed.

"S-sorry. I was just a little surprised. I never imagined you would do this, to me." Arielle bowed due to shyness.

"Me too, I never thought I would do this." Alain said. He didn't even do it to his brother, friend and even to his girlfriend,

"But here I am helping you, so yeah, just open your mouth." Alain smiled. Arielle looked at him. He was surprised again. It's the first time he saw Alain smiled at him. He feels weird.

"All right, Let's finish this. Open your mouth now." Alain feels weird as his hands were also shaking. But he doesn't mind about it.

After eating, Arielle just take his medicine. He was still sitting wrapped in a blanket. He looked at Alain again as he ate the cake.

"Ummm .. Do you want some?" Arielle nodded, Alain has expected.

"Here." using the same fork he used, he offered Arielle some cake. And Arielle ate it.

Arielle suddenly stood up without removing the blanket. Alain noticed that he closed his eyes with a frown, a sign that he still had a headache and was having difficulty with it.

"Where are you going?" Alain was a little surprised by what he did, he held Arielle's hand.

"H-you're not well yet." He stammered.

"I'll get you a new fork, maybe ... you might get infected." he probably saw Alain looking at his fork.

He remained standing, just looking at Alain.

"What?" Alain's a little confused because of his stares.

"I know you're just being forced to take care of me. You don't need to do this. You don't have to do this." Arielle said.

"No." he was stunned by what Alain said and looked at him again.

"No. I'm not forced. And do you even think I am that bad to help even in this simple thing?" he frowned at what Alain said.

"Yes?"

"No." Arielle looked at him again.

"Yes. It's the same when we first met."

"Just because of that do you think I'm bad?"

"Is that so? I'm sorry." Alain thought Arielle was going to stop.

"Remember when I first met you, when I slapped you? I'm hurt from what you said that time."

"I'm sorry. I just didn't wake up pretty well then."

"Isn't it? So, you don't wake up well every day? Because you're always like that to me." Arielle even laughed. Alain was a little embarrassed again.

"I'm sorry." Alain look like a fool who is still cute and pouty.

"You're sniffing. You look like a dog!" Arielle said then he laughed.

"My handsome dog, come here." He added

"What's funny?" Alain is annoyed again but he doesn't know why he's smiling.

"I'm really handsome."

"Really huh?"

"You know Sleepin- - I mean Arielle, you're getting naughty. Are you like that when you're always sick?" He almost called Arielle 'Sleeping Beauty'.

"What did you call me?" he was serious suddenly.

"Nothing. I said, Arielle." He eats the cake.

"I heard you call me something. What's that again?"

"Nothing. You're crazy." He smiled and Arielle suddenly threw the pillow at him.

"By the way, I'm going to ask you. Do you have a relationship with Diether?" Alain suddenly asked.

"What? Hell no! Why did you ask?"

"Ummm .. Nothing. Lately I notice that you are always together, then you are still sweet to each other."

"He's like that to everyone. It's like you don't know your friend."

"Eh your sweetness is different. Are you sure you are not an item?"

"I said no. Why are you aski- - OMG! Are you jealous?"

"And why should I be jealous? I have a girlfriend." he fell silent suddenly.

"Ahh .. sorry." he bowed.

"Don't think about it. What's important is for you to get better. And regarding Adrian, don't think too much him." Edrien is going to fetch Adrian.

"Edrien? Why do I have to think about your friend?"

"Your younger brother. Not my friend"

"Oh. Hahaha sorry."

"And why do you even think that I'm pertaining to Edrien? Don't tell me that you like my bestfriend?" Alain's eyes narrowed. yes?

"Never in your wildest dreams." Arielle took the cake and ate it, even though he had a hard time swallowing himself because of his condition.

"Hey that's mine!" Alain tried to snatch the cake from him but he avoided. They are now scrambling for thecake, on the same sofa where Arielle was lying earlier.

"That's mine! You're greedy" Alain said with a smile. .

"Give this to me You are eating since morning." Arielle said laughing. They both hold the saucer. Arielle lay down and still did not let go of the saucer. So the ending? Alain was already on top of him. Alain is on top of him and he could feel the heat of his body.

They were both stunned when they realized in what position they were in.

Without removing his eyes on Arielle, Alain slowly smiled and put icing on the tip of Arielle's nose. He thought he would get angry but he also smiled, then suddenly Alain felt Arielle's finger on his cheeks, he also puts icing on him.

The door suddenly opened. They both turned around there.

"Kuyaaaa! Oh My God! Who is he? And why -?" Adrian and Edrien saw them. And Edrien was smiling.

"Looks like, there's something happen here that I need to know." he said with a smile. Alain looked at Ariellw and they both smiled.

"Sht!" Alain said and went to CR to clean his face. He just laughed at what happened. He thought that him and Arielle will just be always fighting.

---

"Hey Adrian, come here." Alain called Arielle's brother. He drives them home. Edrien even helped Arielle in.

"Why?" He's a nice kid.

"Take care of your brother, ah? He's not feeling okay yet. Give him medicine before going to bed. Also, be a little patient. Your older brother is naughty when he is sick." He remind him. Alain suddenly think of what he said. He looks like Arielle's boyfriend.

"Thank you for taking care of Kuya, and I'm sorry for his behavior. He's really like that when he's sick." he is polite.

"All right, we need to go." Alain said goodbye. Edrien is already in the car.

"Just wait, I'll just ask you something." Adrian ask.

"What's that lil boy?"

"Are you Kuya's boyfriend? You're too worried about him." Alain laughed a little at his question.

"Secret." He touches Adrian's hair.
