Title: Sweating Sickness (Part Three)
Rating: G
Word Count: 288
Pairing: Gary/Raoul – Team Moustache Curtains
Round/Fight: 2/C
Summary: Gary catches the Sweating Sickness, and Gary visits him.
After Raoul, Gary was the next to get the fever. Raoul was supposed to be on bed rest but the night Gary fell ill, he copied Gary and slunk into his friend’s room, when the healers weren’t there to stop him. Gary looked happy to see him. He was burning up, and, unable to sleep, was awake when Raoul entered. Raoul had tiptoed down the corridor barefoot, to avoid the thunderous echoes of the bare stone. He had eased Gary’s door open only as far as necessary, slipped in carefully, and closed it with barely a click, only to turn around and find his friend grinning at him in the moonlight. Raoul had brought his blankets, so he sat on the end of Gary’s bed and wrapped himself up, leaning against the wall in a good position to observe Gary’s condition.
They talked and dozed, and Raoul got up a few times to push Gary’s wet hair from his eyes and mop his face. Now they both had the disease, they stayed together. There was some fuss when a healer went to check on Raoul in the morning to find him gone, leading to the assumption that he had died and been removed during the night. When discovered, he apologised, but refused to go back, and so a makeshift bed was set up for him next to Gary’s. Raoul was almost certain that this was the start of their recovery. Though Gary had caught the disease later than Raoul, they began to heal at the same rate, in each other’s company. The next morning, Alan came and told them that Alex and Francis were sick. Gary and Raoul stared at Alan, then glanced at each other.
