Where It All Began [COMPLETE] (IG SERIES)

86.

  Shawn looks at me, "You.. should eat too.."
"I'm fine."
"Era.."
"Shawn.. I'm okay."
~
He gulps, "Are you sure.. sure you're okay?"
"Shawn, I'm not the one who's sick here."
I scooped another spoon full of porridge and fed it to him.
~
I'm starting to sweat too, the room's covered with thick curtains, maybe the reason why it's too hot, plus Shawn's temperatures two times hotter than the normal.
~
I continued feeding him until he's finished the meal.
I head out of his room and washed the dishes in the kitchen, then searched for medicines in the cupboard.
Mostly canned goods but luckily, there's three more tablets beside the empty cereal box.
I checked the dates and it's still not yet expired, guess this'll work.
I went back to Shawn's room carrying the medicines and a glass of water.
~
I sit beside him, cracked the capsule open, and hand it to him.
He quickly put it in his mouth, I slowly and carefully gave him the glass of water, he drinks.
~
I set the glass away beside the lampshade on the bedside table.
"Go get some rest.." I said.
He slides his body down the bed and lied on his back.
"Goodnight Shawn.." I said as I grab the glass off the table.
~
When I was about to head out of the room, he called.
"Era?"
"Hm?"
"W-Will you sleep with me?"
