Work Text
Sitting on the bathroom floor with his head basically stuck inside the toilet was not at all how Yoongi planned on spending his day. He had so much to work on that he couldn't afford being sick. His plans were revolved around his work, his music, his career. But, his body wasn't agreeing with him too much.Yoongi sat next to the toilet, the same place he had been for 20 minutes. His head was pounding and he felt cold, despite the fever running through him. He was so dizzy he felt like he would faint on the spot. All he wanted to do was go to sleep and not wake up until everything was out of his system. Unfortunately, his stubborn mind was telling him to go work on his lyrics until he felt as if he couldn't sit up any longer.A sudden wave of nausea hits him, and he's suddenly retching into the toilet bowl once again. His head starts pounding even harder and he sighs heavily, flushing the contents down the toilet and leaning his body against the wall next to him. He can hear faint footsteps approaching the door, and he's praying that who ever it is does anything but check on him.

"Yoongi? Are you alright in there? It's been like 30 minutes."
Of course,
Yoongi thinks.
Of course I have to get caught."I'm fine." Yoongi says bluntly, not caring about whose outside the door. He refuses to let anyone know he's sick.
All I want to do is go to work."I know you're lying, hyung. I heard you vomiting in there." Yoongi recognizes the voice as Jimin's."I'm okay, Jiminie. I'll be out in a minute," Yoongi tells him, attempting to reassure him that he is okay.
Yoongi stands up on shaky legs, gripping onto the sink as hard as he can. The dizziness hasn't given him a break and it's really taking a toll. He grips the doorknob before turning it slowly and opening the door. He feels weaker than before he came into the bathroom and he hates it.Outside the door, Jimin waits for him to get out, worried as he knows Yoongi is lying about being sick (as he always seems to do).
He's stubborn as hell and Jimin knows it, so he makes it his duty to take care of Yoongi no matter how much he protests. As Yoongi exits the bathroom, Jimin can already tell Yoongi probably feels like death. His eyes are watery, his face bright red, and he seems like he is going to fall over. Yoongi looks up at him and gives a forced smile."Bathroom is all yours," he says, voice scratchy and unstable. He tries to push past Jimin and go to his room, but Jimin grabs his wrist and turns his around. Yoongi stumbles a bit and groans, already becoming annoyed. "What? You wanted the bathroom, didn't you? Well, go ahead."The younger shakes his head. "No, I wanted you to come out so I can prove to myself that you are indeed sick. You can't hide it from me this time." He smiles sadly at the older.Yoongi pouts. "Jiminie, I'm okay. Now, I need to go work with Namjoon today. If I'm not dying, I am perfectly capable of -

- doing what I need to do.""You're unbelievable, Yoongs. You should know better than to believe that I'm going to let you go to work in this condition. You know for a fact that you just want to sleep. How about you just to your room and do that, yeah?" Jimin grips Yoongi's wrist tighter and starts walking towards his bedroom. When they get to the door, Yoongi stops in his trail and yanks his wrist from Jimin's grip."Yah! I told you, let me go already. Listen to me, I'm your hyung!" He says as stern as he can with his voice half gone. Jimin shakes his head slightly at his childish behavior."Yoongi, just lie down. I don't want you to overwork yourself today, especially since you're already sick. Go lie down and I'll bring you some medicine." Jimin raises his voice slightly. He doesn't want to order Yoongi around, but it's better than having him go and pass out somewhere else with a fever."Jimin, listen right now-""No, you listen to me!
Could you stop being stubborn and get your ass in bed already?" Yoongi's eyes widen and he stares at Jimin. Usually, he would snap back, yell at him because
I'm older, don't boss me around, but he keeps his mouth closed. He feels so exhausted and he knew Jimin was right, just didn't want to admit it. He was done arguing and his headache was just getting worse. Agreeing finally, he nodded slowly and trudged into his room. Jimin smiles in success and makes his way to the kitchen to get something for Yoongi.When Jimin walks back to Yoongi's room he sees him sitting on his bed with his head hung low and staring at his feet. If Yoongi didn't look up slightly, he would have assumed he fell asleep in that position. He walks over to him and hands him a couple of pills and a bottle of water. Yoongi quickly gulps the pills and the water down and sets the bottle on the bed-side table. He shivers slightly and Jimin notices. He walks over to Yoongi's closet and grabs the first hoodie he sees.
"I know you're cold, baby." Jimin knows Yoongi secretly likes it when he's called that.
The younger male stands in front of the other and pulls the hoodie over his head. Once Yoongi has the hoodie on, Jimin sits next to him on the bed. Yoongi let's out a small yawn and rubs at his sore eyes. He suddenly feels hands on his waist and he's pulled into Jimin's lap.
"Jiminie, what are you doing?""Nothing. Just wanna make you feel better. ""You can't back me feel better that fast." Yoongi laughs softly. He leans his head on Jimin's shoulder as he runs his hand through Yoongi's black hair. Jimin smiles down at him as he closes his eyes, feeling more tired than he did 5 minutes ago.
"Go to sleep, baby. I'll be here when you wake up."Yoongi nods, but then reopens his eyes. He sits up a bit and rearranges himself on Jimin's lap, putting his legs on either side of his thighs. He wraps his arms around Jimin's neck and shoves his face in his neck."Thank you for staying and taking care of me, even if I don't deserve it," Yoongi hugs his neck tighter and closes his eyes again.
"Don't say that stuff. You deserve to have someone taking care of you once in a while. You work so hard and I'm worried about you. You don't need to thank me either. I'm doing this because I care about you," Jimin reassures him, rubbing Yoongi's back.Yoongi nods and climbs off of Jimin's lap. He tucks himself under the covers and holds his arms out, waiting for Jimin to lay with him. Jimin smiles at how cute Yoongi is when he's tired and climbs in bed next to him. He pulls Yoongi towards him until he's basically on top of his own body.
"Jimin, you know you might get sick if you're really close to me, right?" Yoongi's voice is muffled as his face is in between Jimin's neck and shoulder.
"Yeah, I know. But all I want to do right now is cuddle my baby."Yoongi's slaps Jimin lightly on the arm and Jimin laughs, pulling Yoongi closer if possible.
"You better tell me when your sick next time instead of being stubborn like you always are." Jimin starts running his hand through Yoongi's hair again, and kissed his forehead lightly.
"I will. Promise," Yoongi whispers as he is already half asleep. Jimin smiles to himself as he successfully got Yoongi to get in bed. He gives one last kiss on his head and closes his eyes, feeling tired as well.
"Goodnight, baby."
