One Direction Sickfics

Louis sick after flu shot

This is a request from @bwthib!

Harry's POV

"Please!"
"No."
"But it might help you!"
"Still no."
I threw my hands up in defeat. I was trying to convince Louis to get the flu shot so maybe it would keep him from getting sick. Niall, Liam, and Zayn all three ended up sick with the flu at the same time while on a plane home. My best mate Louis and I however, weren't able to get a plane home due to snowy weather for the next few days. Of course the weather just had to act up right when we were on break, and right when our planes were scheduled to leave. After the boys called saying that the flu had been spreading around rapidly (the cold weather didn't help) , I figured we should probably get a flu shot so we don't end up sick while on our break unlike the other three boys.
"Don't you want to keep from getting sick?" I asked.
"I won't get sick." Louis scoffed.
"You don't know that." I said.
"Yes I do, I just know it." Louis fought as if he were a five year old.
Fine, he wants to act like a five year old, I'll treat him like a five year old.
"If you get the flu shot with me, I'll buy you all your favorite junk foods and we'll watch all your favorite movies." I bribed.
Louis looked up at that.
"This better not be some sort of trick." Louis warned.
"No trick. If you get the flu shot, we'll do exactly everything I just promised right after we do it." I said.
Louis thought it over for a few seconds.
"Fine!" Louis relented.
I shouted a 'yes!' in my head as we walked out the door to go get our shots.

******************************

"That hurt a lot more than you said it would, Harry." Louis complained.
"Well at least you now have it done and over with." I said.
"I guess." Louis said, whilst rubbing his arm.
I set down the bags of all the junk food we had bought after getting our shots and went to go wash my hands. Call me a germaphobe if you want but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Louis and I changed into our comfy clothes then sat on the couch and began watching our first movie on the list. Throughout the movie, Louis kept shifting around uncomfortably and rubbing his arm. When the end credits came on I finally decided to ask him about it.
"You okay Lou?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Louis said.
I could tell he was lying, it's hard not to be able to see that.
"Are you sure Lou?" I asked.
Louis nodded and directed his attention back to the screen as he scrolled through Netflix for another movie.
As we went through the other movies Louis continued to the same thing, which consisted of constantly moving around, rubbing his arm, and eventually he started shaking like a leaf.
I tried to ignore it because I didn't want to push Louis, but I could tell something was bothering him. Hopefully, he would come around soon.

*morning*

I woke up and realized that I had slept past 12 p.m. I got up and went to go prepare lunch for me and Louis assuming he was pretty hungry by now. As I walked past his door I realized that he was still asleep. It was afternoon now, Louis couldn't be mad if I woke him up.
As I walked into his room I noticed that he was shivering, yet covered in sweat. I frowned considering that's not exactly normal.
"Louis?" I shook him awake gently.
He looked up at me tiredly.
"Yeah Haz?" He said.
"I figured I'd wake you up since it was past 12 now." I said.
Louis nodded.
"Are you feeling okay?" I asked.
Louis paused for a moment.
"Not really." Louis admitted.
'Well, at least he's admitted it' I thought to myself.
"What feels bad?" I asked.
"I'm hot and cold at the same, my arm hurts, and I'm starting to get a headache." Louis replied.
I thought it over for a second before it dawned on me. Louis was having side effects from the shot.
"Oh Louis, it's side effects from your flu shot." I said.
Louis gave me a glare.
"I told you those things were bad news." He said sassily.
I playfully rolled my eyes at him.
"Whatever, just stay in bed and I'll bring you some Tylenol." I said.
"This is your fault!" Louis yelled as I left. I knew he was just teasing, I could tell by the tone of his voice that he didn't mean it.
I went to the bathroom and got his Tylenol then brought it back to him along with a glass of water.
"Thanks." Louis said.
"No problem." I replied.
It wasn't long before Louis went to sleep, hopefully he'll sleep off his fever. However, when he woke up he was feeling worse than ever. His fever's gone up, his arm still very sore, his headache has developed into a migraine, and now he's feeling nauseous which is probably caused by the migraine, and he's very lethargic.
"Harryyyyyy!" Louis groaned.
"I'm coming!" I said.
I gave him some stomach relaxers along with a fever reducer hoping that maybe that'll help him some.
"My stomach still hurts." Louis complained.
"That's because you only took the medicine five minutes ago." I said.
"Well why can't it work faster!" Louis whined.
I rolled my eyes in amusement. Louis can tend to become a big baby when he doesn't feel well and sometimes it's just plain funny the way he acts.
"Do you want me to get you a heating pad?" I offered.
"Yes please." Louis said.
I got the heating pad for him and turned it on. Then I closed the curtains and turned off the lights to try and ease his migraine a bit.
