James curled up in their bed, his eyes tightly closed as he concentrated on breathing. In and out.

He had staggered into the bedroom half an hour earlier with his eyes barely open. For one of the few times in his life, he had just left his clothes where they had fallen. He had crawled into his bed and burrowed under the covers with his face pressed against the cool silk pillow.

The nausea rose in his gorge again and he scraped his shin getting to the bathroom with his eyes almost screwed shut. He shivered as he hung onto the toilet seat, not yet willing to move in case he set off another bout.

He was barely conscious of the bedroom door clicking open and the soft padding of bare feet over the floor. He didn't respond to the sound of water running in the sink, although he did groan as the cool, folded flannel was held against his forehead and soft kisses were pressed against his neck.

James moaned softly as cool silk caressed his skin, knowing that Stephen had supported him back to their bed. The contrasting warmth of his lover against his back felt good too, as Stephen wrapped his arms around James and held him close. As soft lips pressed against his neck once more, James snuggled back deeper into that warmth.

He sighed softly as a well-known hand slid down his stomach to stroke him. The movements were slow and gentle, easing James into the release of climax and then lulling him into sleep.

I'm poorly at the moment! Please can I have a Stephen to come and look after me?!

Thank you for the lovely cuddly fic . . .

*Hugs the kitty*

*hugs* You can have Stephen, although you'll have to share him with Lester (who hogs the covers *g*)

Your welcome, hope you feel better soon.

*purrs*

Thanks for reading. Poor James may be sick, but he's got Stephen to look after him.

Yes I think cuddly Stephen is just what the docter ordered:D

Okay, I skipped ahead with my reading because I was in the mood for some h/c. This fic certainly didn't disappoint! :-) I really like the contrast between Lester feeling so miserable at the beginning of the story and Lester being cared for and lulled into sleep at the end. I was so hoping that Stephen would find Lester in the bathroom and look after him -- in more ways than one. *g*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks, and he's certainly just what Lester ordered.

I think that's a good enough excuse to skip forward *g* Glad you liked the fic, poor Lester needed some comfort and Stephen was happy to help *g* Thanks for reading.

Mmm, that was lovely. Some hangover, eh, Lester? LOLOL *veg*

[knitekat.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Um, it could be a hangover, but whatever it is, Stephen will look after Lester *nods*

[telperion-15.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwwww, it's always nice to be looked after! :)

Thanks, and Lester agrees as he snuggles in Stephen's arms.
