He met her eyes, wiping her brow with the washcloth. "You keep scaring me, Erin."

"You make it difficult." He kissed her lightly. "Are you feeling any better? I can make more tea."

"not really," zippy admitted, taking his hand and holding it tight. She shut her eyes. "I'm dizzy. Freezing."

David immediately got a blanket, putting it over her. "Sweetie, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone."

She closed her eyes, shutting them tightly, and shivered. "I was insistent. You did the right thing"

He kissed her brow, then stood up. "I'm gonna take you to bed. That way I can hold you." He scooped her into his arms, blanket and all.

Zippy held on, feeling way too helpless. "I'm so embarrassed."

He nuzzled his face into the crook of her neck. "Don't be, sweetie. You're not well. It's not your fault." He managed to get his bedroom door open, then kicked it close behind them, laying her gently into his bed. He got his wastebasket, putting it beside her in case she got sick again.

The rest of the night was long. Zippy kept throwing up, shivering, crying, then randomly passing out.

By early morning, David was exhausted -- he'd stayed up with her, holding her hair back, making her tea, cleaning her up, holding her... He'd done everything he could think of to help her, only nodding off when she'd passed out, but never really able to fall asleep.

((Hehe, no I TOTALLY get it!))
David was curled up next to her and he shifted to drape one arm across her middle, chin resting on her shoulder.

Zippy frowned, feeling terrible that she just put him through this. She glanced at his nightstand, and grabbed the magazine that was on it, determined not to wake him. But it wasn't a magazine, it was a brochure for Columbia. She began to skim through it.

After a while, David shifted again, pulling himself closer to her body, which made him wake up, blinking his eyes open. "Erin? How're you feeling?"
