Fortune Favors The Brave

Justin frowned, reaching up to hug Kiara.

Kiara hugged Justin back.

Justin shifted uncomfortably, leaning his head against Kiara's afterwards.

Kiara sighed softly. "You're burning up...."

Frowning, Justin moved his head, laying it on Kiara's shoulder instead; leaning against her weakly.

Kiara pulled him close, rubbing his back.

Justin sighed and slowly let go of Kiara, leaning against her more.

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

Justin whimpered, shivering slightly.

"You poor thing..." Kiara sighed.

"Make it stop..." Justin groaned.

"Lemme go see if I've got something I can give you," said Kiara.

Justin gave a small nod, slowly lifting his head so he could move.

Kiara got up, going to look in the medicine cabinet.

Justin laid back down on the couch while he waited.

Kiara came back a few minutes later with a small medicine cup filled with cold medicine.

Justin slowly looked up at Kiara after coughing.

"Here sugar, this'll help," said Kiara

Justin nodded and slowly sat up, holding a hand out to take the medicine.

Kiara handed Justin the tiny cup.

Justin smiled slightly and drank the medicine, handing back the cup when he was done.

Kiara smiled. "Just give that a few minutes."

Justin nodded, laying back down, looking more exhausted than before he'd slept.

"Wish I could do more to help," said Kiara.

"Tell it to go away...?" Justin suggested, rolling his eyes, knowing it wouldn't help.
