Kpop Sickfic/Angst

Sighing (Ten NCT sickfic)

Request by: Josie_P
I was wondering if you could write something, maybe, 3-5K words, about Ten in NCT feeling sick during a vlive, and his hands are trembling and all, and Johnny notices and helps him out and takes care of him and it hurts Ten a lot but Johnny (and the rest of NCT) makes him feel better?
Notes:
2845 words for you. I physically couldn't do more 😔

——————————————

The airport had been full of people, buzzing with energy as their fans got together to greet them, and he had loved every second of it, but - because there's always a 'but' - the peace and quiet their house offered was the absolute best.

From the second they had stepped foot on the plane, Ten's stomach had started doing flips. At first, he thought he was nervous, nervous about the big crowds and the loud noises that the airport would bring. He thought it was just the lack of food catching up to him or the plane's food tasting a little weird.

Now that the flips had become a full-blown rollercoaster, and that the slight discomfort had morphed into pain, he was pretty sure it was something more than just nervousness.

It was fine, though. The pain in his abdomen was nothing he couldn't handle. Some medicine would be the answer to his problems.

It was really no big deal.

Until it was, of course.

He was currently lying on his bed, Louis by his side, working as a heating pad for his aching stomach. His hands clutched at his belly in a desperate attempt to make the cramps stop...to say it wasn't working was an understatement.

Getting sick wasn't exactly an option for Ten, not right now when they had practice and interviews and a concert coming up. He just couldn't be sick.

He sighed when one of the cramps eased, slight relief washing over his body. He was shaking, cold sweat filling his forehead. He was uncomfortable and clammy and in pain, and his clothes were sticking to his skin, but at the same time, he couldn't bring himself to stand up and go to the shower. Especially not when he had finally found a position in which his insides weren't trying to kill him.

Louis purred, and Ten found it slightly disrespectful how the animal seemed to be enjoying himself while he suffered. The cat didn't seem to notice the killing stare Ten gave him, and if he did, he completely ignored it.

Another sigh escaped Ten's lips as he moved to sit up. His stomach seemed to be giving him a break, and Ten would take advantage of it before it decided he had had enough rest. And so, the first thing he did was hop in the shower, trying and failing to wash the sickness away from him.

Suddenly a knock brought him our of his semi-relaxed state. And because the universe seems to hate him the sound could only mean bad news.

"Ten! Don't forget we have to do a Vlive, so after you shower, come to the living room!" Johnny said. Some of the 127 members were in the WayV dorm, and Ten had completely forgotten why they were there.

The Vlive they had to do definitely explained some things.

He brushed a hand through his hair, a puff of air left his mouth as he analysed how bad he was feeling.

A headache was pulsing around his skull and his eyes felt like popping out of their sockets, but nothing terrible. He could grit his teeth and get through the rest of the afternoon. His muscles felt like jelly, but that was not an issue either, they would be sitting down the whole time, and none of the members would really care if he rested his head on one of their shoulders.
