Serna examined the pills.
"He can chew them," she said that a moment. She held her hand out to Cas to hand her one, looking back at Nix.
"We're going to get you feeling better, okay?"
Serna examined the pills.
"He can chew them," she said that a moment. She held her hand out to Cas to hand her one, looking back at Nix.
"We're going to get you feeling better, okay?"
Cas gave her the pills and got back into Zachary's lap with a soft sigh. Nix nodded weakly from where he was curled up on the couch.
Serna gently offered the pill to Nix.
"I need you to chew this, okay? It'll help with your stomach and the pain."
"Okay…" Nix stuck the pill in his mouth and started to chew it. He winced at the taste, but managed to swallow it anyway.
"Thank you so much, sweetie…" Serna sighed softly, gently readjusting the ice packs.
Nix huddled up against Serna again after he swallowed the pill, his ears drooping weakly. He curled his tail up around himself and sighed.
"Nix," Serna said softly. "I'm too hot for you to be up against right now. You need to cool down, not warm up…" She gently laid him back down, staying next to him without touching him too much.
Nix whined softly and reluctantly stayed where Serna had put him. "When do I stop feeling bad?" He asked weakly. "I wanna feel good again…"
"The medicine will help with that," Serna said gently. She gently brushed her fingers over his head.
"I'll make sure you're going to get better."
"Okay…" Nix closed his eyes, trying to relax on the couch. Cas buried his face in Zachary's shoulder with a shaky sigh.
Zachary rubbed Cas's back gently, watching Nix with concern. How had Nix gotten sick? Serna hummed gently to help Nix relax, running her fingers through his hair.
Nix stayed silent for a while, only beginning to relax after about half an hour when the meds kicked in. He yawned and sighed weakly.
Serna relaxed too when the medicine started working. She picked up the thermometer again.
"Let's check how your temperature is doing," she said gently.
Nix opened his mouth to allow Serna to take his temperature. It had gone down to around 100 degrees, but he was still feverish. He at least seemed to be doing somewhat better.
"You've gone down, that's good," Serna said softly.
"I'm going to go get some fresh ice packs to help even more, okay?" She ran her fingers through Nix's hair once, standing up.
"Mmkay…" Nix kept his eyes closed as he relaxed, still holding his stomach. Cas had drifted off into a fitful sleep by now.
Zachary and Serna looked at each other for a bit, then back to the men they were taking care of. Serna left to get the ice packs. Zachary kissed Cas's cheek gently, and Serna came back to gently adjusted the new ice packs on Nix.
Nix yawned a bit when Serna put the new ice packs on him. "How long do I have to do this? It's cold…" He whined softly.
"We need to get you down a couple more degrees before we can take these off. It shouldn't be too long, promise." She brushed the hair off of Nix's forehead.
Nix whined and leaned into Serna's hand. "But what if it doesn't go down anymore? I'm still sick, after all…"
"The medicine will help, and the ice packs too." Serna left her hand on Nix a moment, sighing gently.
"We'll get you back to normal."
"Okay…" Nix curled up a bit more and sighed softly. "Won't I still be sick tomorrow, though?"
"You will," Serna admitted. "But it'll be a lot better, I promise." She hummed softly, sitting with Nix and keeping an eye on him.
"If you say so, miss…" Nix curled in on himself a bit more. "Do you think I got sick from the dating website guy?"
"Well, that is a possibility. It could also be from the cold down here, or a lot of things sugar." Serna lightly ran her fingers through Nix's hair.
