Author's note: Mr. Cheese is an imposter in this. Also this is moved from A Polus Tale.

"Sunshine..." TheGentleman says softly, looking to Mr. Cheese, "I'm not feeling well..."

Mr. Cheese immediately has a concerned look on his face, going to his boyfriend. "Physically or mentally?"

"Physically..." TheGentleman mumbled, making a soft noise. He felt uncomfortable and sick. He coughs a little bit.

"Does your head hurt?" Mr. Cheese asks, feeling TheGentleman's forehead.

"No..." TheGentleman replied, leaning into Mr. Cheese's touch. Mr. Cheese laid a comforting hand on TheGentleman's cheek. TheGentleman yawned quietly, rubbing his eyes.

"Please rest, TheGentleman. I can do your tasks..." Mr. Cheese gently says, kissing TheGentleman's forehead. TheGentleman softly smiles, getting comfortable in the blankets.

Mr. Cheese goes to leave the room to do his and TheGentleman's tasks for the day. However, TheGentleman made a protest sound. Mr. Cheese looks back to TheGentleman, making a soft questioning noise.

"Can you stay...?" TheGentleman asks with a whimper. He coughs a little, making a sad noise.

"Dunno if I can, love..." Mr. Cheese says sadly. He lays a hand on TheGentleman's forehead and hugged him a little.

"Please?" TheGentleman pleaded, giving a pained look to Mr. Cheese. He coughs again, rubbing the base of his throat.

Mr. Cheese decided to stay with him, making a concerned noise. He pulled TheGentleman into his arms, rubbing his back.

TheGentleman's fever rose throughout the day. He was getting weaker and weaker, raspy breaths able to be heard.

Mr. Cheese made a worried noise, wiping a bead of sweat off of TheGentleman's forehead. "Hey..."

TheGentleman began crying silently, curling up in the blankets. He coughs again, shivering.

Mr. Cheese frowned, holding TheGentleman closer, rubbing his back. "My prince, I think we may have to go to Medbay..."

TheGentleman whined, looking to Mr. Cheese. Mr. Cheese gave a saddened look to him, fluffing up his pillow.

TheGentleman sits up and Mr. Cheese helps him. He was complying without arguing at all.

Mr. Cheese's eyes widen a little. "TheGentleman..." He must be feeling real bad... He didn't argue with me once.

TheGentleman is led to Medbay by Mr. Cheese and Mr. Cheese set him on the bed. TheGentleman gave a truly exhausted look, and Mr. Cheese gave a gentle look back.

Mr. Cheese holds TheGentleman very close as TheGentleman began to fall asleep in his arms.

Mr. Cheese felt tears in his eyes, choking up. I don't want him to die! I want him to be happy... I love him so much.

Mr. Cheese sobbed quietly, trying not to wake up TheGentleman. He didn't want him to worry more. He hiccups, wiping his tears.

Mr. Cheese held TheGentleman's hand as TheGentleman's breaths were labored. He was worried for him, very much so.

Mr. Cheese stays up with TheGentleman throughout the night, holding his hand. He doesn't sleep and even if he wanted to, he couldn't.

TheGentleman awoke the next day with a cough. "Mn..." He reaches out for Mr. Cheese.

"Hey love..." Mr. Cheese says softly.

TheGentleman nodded with a soft smile. "Did you sleep...?" He asks quietly.

Mr. Cheese shook his head. "No, but it doesn't matter."

"Mr. Cheese..." TheGentleman rasps in worry.

  "I gotta make sure you're okay..." Mr. Cheese softly says, kissing TheGentleman's temple.

TheGentleman teared up. "Please...?" He coughs weakly, making a quiet noise.

"I'll sleep soon, don't worry," Mr. Cheese replied, smiling at TheGentleman.

"Don't lie to me, please..." TheGentleman rasps, making a soft pain noise.

"I wanna make sure you're okay..." Mr. Cheese says gently.

"But..." TheGentleman began to go into a coughing fit. "Mn.. Ow... But you need sleep..!"

"Don't strain yourself!" Mr. Cheese says, making a concerned noise. He hugs TheGentleman close again.

"Can you..." TheGentleman blinks a few times to collect his thoughts, on the verge of passing out.

"Can I what...?" Mr. Cheese let go of TheGentleman.

"Can you jus' cuddle me...?" TheGentleman asks weakly. Mr. Cheese nodded, bringing TheGentleman close again.

"Thanks, dearest..." TheGentleman mumbles, smiling

"You're welcome... Now try to rest some more..." Mr. Cheese says softly.

TheGentleman nodded, falling into a pitiful slumber. Mr. Cheese smiles, bringing him closer. He fights to stay awake.

TheGentleman sat up, waking up with a quiet shout. Mr. Cheese snapped out of his half asleep state, looking over to TheGentleman.

TheGentleman sobbed, having a panicked look on his face. "Nonononono-" He chokes out, sobbing very softly.

"What's wrong?" Mr. Cheese asks, holding TheGentleman close to him, a concerned look on his features.

TheGentleman continues to sob quietly, almost hyperventilating with raspy breaths.

"Hey, hey, please calm down, you're not well-" Mr. Cheese says, holding him closer.

TheGentleman curled up tightly, looking to Mr. Cheese with a pitiful look on his face. He sobbed, sniffling.

Mr. Cheese tried to calm TheGentleman down, rubbing his back. He started up a soft purr, knowing TheGentleman loved it. The purr soothed TheGentleman a bit usually.

However, TheGentleman only breathed faster, causing him to go into a coughing fit. Mr. Cheese, due to worry, is unable to keep up a purr.

TheGentleman continues to cough, whimpering softly. He was feeling awful. "M-Mr. Cheese..."

"Pl-Please calm down...!" Mr. Cheese says, very concerned.

Eventually, Mr. Cheese passes out from not sleeping, causing TheGentleman to yell out, sobbing into Mr. Cheese's chest.

TheGentleman soon passes out as well.
