\u201cHello?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nolan looks around the room, walls painted a creamy white. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah, he\u2019s been sorta out of it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The color reminds him of eggshells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c-fever too, maybe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He hasn\u2019t had boiled eggs in a while. Maybe he should try making them on his own?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c-lan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did he have anything for breakfast today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNolan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe a piece of toast?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNolan, she needs to take your temperature. Nolan.\u201d His head snaps away from the wall, aching at the movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHuh?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexander sighs, running a hand down his face. \u201cYour temperature, Nolan. Were you listening at all?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh,\u201d Nolan starts. \u201cNo?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOpen your mouth,\u201d the nurse says before the argument can escalate. Nolan does, and the stick she holds is shoved mercilessly under his tongue. After a moment, she pulls it out of his mouth, ignoring his confused expression. She frowns, looking at the numbers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou have a fever of 99.7 degrees. I\u2019d recommend you take it easy for the rest of the day. Rest up, and make sure to drink lots of fluids. It\u2019s probably just a common cold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll make sure he gets better,\u201d Logan answers. \u201cIs there anything he shouldn\u2019t eat? Anything he should?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nolan tunes the two out and as he turns his head to look at the wall again, the golden hair to his left catches his attention. He instead eyes it with suspicion, lowering his gaze to the tall person it belongs to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexander is intently staring at the nurse, listening to her every word. Nolan notices with a start that he\u2019s still pressed against Alexander. Their bodies slot together nicely, Nolan\u2019s shorter stature resting with his head just above Alexander\u2019s shoulder. Unthinkingly, he drops his head just to test if it really would fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexander jumps at the contact, wide eyes glancing down at Nolan. His head is bent, resting on Alexander. He stiffens at the show of vulnerability from the sick boy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNolan, what\u2019re you doing?\u201d Alexander hisses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nolan groans, before pulling his head out of its resting position. \u201cNothing,\u201d he murmurs. \u201cCan I leave yet?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAbsolutely not,\u201d the nurse says, whipping her head around to glare at Nolan. \u201cIf you\u2019re going anywhere<\/em>, it\u2019ll be with these two. You are absolutely not<\/em> allowed to go off on your own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019d be happy to go with him!\u201d Logan says. \u201cRight, Alexander?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSure.\u201d \u201cHello?\u201d Nolan looks around the room, walls painted a creamy white. \u201cYeah, he\u2019s been sorta out of it\u2026\u201d The color reminds him of eggshells. \u201c-fever too, maybe.\u201d He hasn\u2019t had boiled eggs in a while.
