Fortune Favors The Brave

Justin slowly reached a hand up to move hers, leaning closer to kiss Kiara, smiling afterwards.

Kiara smiled. "C'mon, let's get you situated and I'll make that soup."

Justin nodded, slowly getting up.

Kiara kept an arm around him.

Once he was on his feet, Justin swayed slightly and pulled a face, leaning against Kiara.

"I got you sugar, I got you," said Kiara.

Justin groaned, burying his face against Kiara's shoulder.

"It's alright," Kiara said gently. "I got you, you're not goin' nowhere."

"How...did I end up...sick all of a sudden...?" Justin asked, looking away to cough.

"It's probably been in your system a while and not shown itself," said Kiara.

Justin groaned and buried his face against her shoulder again.

Kiara led Justin to the couch. "Just sit down a minute, I'll go get you some pillows."

Justin nodded and sat down, hugging his knees to his chest.

Kiara left and came back with a blanket and some pillows

Justin gave a small smile, curled up tight, shivering slightly.

Kiara wrapped the blanket around him. "There."

"Thank you." Justin mumbled, pulling the blanket tight around himself, coughing again.

"Welcome sugar," Kiara smiled.

Justin gave a small smile, whimpering after coughing.

Kiara sighed softly. She hated seeing Justin like this.

Justin laid down, wrapping an arm around himself as he curled up.

Kiara went into the kitchen.

Justin laid there, trying to stop himself from shivering.

"I'll see if I've got some cold meds around here after I get the soup done," said Kiara.

"Okay..." Justin sighed, closing his eyes while he waited.
