Rating:PG
Summary:The younger boy lay prone on the ground, unconscious and face flushed with fever. 
Disclaimer:One of these days I'm gonna be able to say "Yes, I own them", and it'll be totally okay, cuz I married Hyukjae!! Just you wait!

    "Hey, are you okay?"

Eunhyuk looked up from what he was doing to see Leeteuk staring at him, concern clearly seen in his eyes.  The pair had just finished their radio show and was gathering their belongings when Leeteuk spoke up.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Teukkie," he replied, smiling reassuringly.

Leeteuk didn't look convinced.  "Are you sure?  You don't look very well."

"I'm sure.  Maybe I'm just hungry, or something."  Or something.  The mere thought of food made his stomach turn.  That, mixed with the dizziness and headaches he'd been fighting off for the last few days, just made him feel like hell, but he was far too busy to stop and see a doctor, so he just tried to push through it.

"Come to think of it, I don't remember you eating at all today..." The leader frowned.  "You really need to eat, Hyukkie.  You're far too thin as it is."

Eunhyuk lifted an eyebrow.  "Somehow, comments on my size don't hold much weight coming from you," he said, a half-smile forming, making Leeteuk laugh.

"Okay, I'll give you that, but let's go home and get something to eat, okay?"

Leeteuk grabbed his bag and headed for the door.  He had just grabbed the handle and was about to turn it when he suddenly heard a crash from behind him.  Thinking that Eunhyuk had accidentally knocked over his chair-'Again,' he thought-he turned to look.

His heart nearly stopped.

The younger boy lay prone on the ground, unconscious and face flushed with fever.  Snapping out of his shock, Leeteuk yelled for someone to call an ambulance and ran over, dropping to the floor beside his dongsaeng.

"Hyuk.  Hey, Hyukkie, come on, wake up."  He then began to panic.  "Hyukjae, wake up!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"...ke up."

The familiar voice tugged at his consciousness, causing him to slowly open his eyes.  The room he was currently in was dark, matching the view out the window.

"Where-" he whispered, too weak to speak any louder.

"You're in the hospital," the same soothing voice answered.

"Hannie?"

The Chinese man smiled softly.  "Yeah, it's me.  How do you feel?"

"Tired.  And warm.  Why am I in the hospital?" Eunhyuk asked, closing his eyes.

"What's the last thing you remember?"

He thought about it.  "Um, I was with Teukkie at Sukira.  Hyung said something about getting food, then-"  He paused, head throbbing.  "What happened?"

"You collapsed in the studio.  Scared Teukkie half to death," he explained.

He blinked in confusion.  "I did?  Why?"

"You caught that bug I had, then made it worse by pushing yourself too hard.  You had a fever nearing 40*C."

"How long was I out?"

"You've been delirious with fever for the past three days."

At that, Eunhyuk's eyes flew open.  "Three days?!"

"Yes, three days.  Your fever only broke a couple hours ago, which is why you feel so weak and tired."

Eunhyuk grew quiet before speaking.  "Hyung?"

"Yeah?"

"Can we go home?  I don't wanna be here anymore."

Hankyung frowned.  "I don't know, Hyuk.  I mean-"

"Please?  I just wanna be with everyone at the dorm.  I wanna see Hae, and you know how much he hates hospitals."

The Chinaman smiled.  "He stayed here the whole time, you know.  He only left because he told Leeteuk that he'd help at Sukira until you were well enough to go back."

"Really?"

"Really.  Now, I'll be right back, okay?"

"Where are you going?" he asked, and Hankyung thought he sensed a bit of fear in the small voice.

The older dancer smiled and ran a hand through his dongsaeng's hair.  "I'm just going to see about getting you out of here."

After a moment, Eunhyuk seemed to calm down, closing his eyes.  "Thanks, Hannie."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~Really?!?!~ Donghae yelled, making Hankyung pull the phone from his ear with a wince, laughing at the same time.

"Yes, Donghae.  The doctor said that he can go home, but he's on strict bedrest until he regains his strength."

~So, he's really okay?~ Leeteuk asked, worry evident in his voice.

"His fever broke shortly after you two left.  He's really weak, but he'll be fine."  He smiled before adding, "Good luck, and hurry home.  He really wants to see you, Hae.  You too, Hyung."

They said their goodbyes and Hankyung hung up.  Pocketing his phone, he re-entered the hospital and went to Eunhyuk's room.  He opened the door and laughed out loud at the adorable sight before him.  The young dancer was curled up on the bed staring at him, only half awake.

"Ready to leave?"

"Mmhmm."

"You okay?" he asked, sitting on the bed.

"Dizzy," he mumbled, snuggling close to his hyung.

He frowned and stroked his young friend's chestnut tresses.  "Maybe you should stay here a little longer."

Eunhyuk shook his head slowly.  "No.  Wanna go home."

"Can you sit up?" Hankyung asked, earning a nod in reply as he slowly sat up.  "Okay, wrap your arms around my neck."  Once he did, the Chinese singer secured his hold on the sick dancer, and stood up, heading down to the waiting car, Eunhyuk situated on his back.

When the car pulled up to the dorm, Hankyung noticed Siwon and Heechul outside waiting.  Climbing out, he slipped one arm under the now sleeping boy's knees, and the other around his waist as he gently lifted him out of the car, cradling him against his chest like a protective parent.

Heechul took one look at Eunhyuk and sighed dramatically.  "The two of you are idiots," he huffed before turning and heading inside.

"I thing what Hyung means, is that he should really still be in the hospital," Siwon explained, holding the door open for him.  Hankyung smiled in thanks before following the taller singer to the elevator.

"I know, and agree," he replied as the two stepped into the elevator.  "But he really wanted to be here with everyone.  Besides, I'd like to see you say no to him when he looks like a kicked puppy.  All that was missing was the tail and ears."  Siwon chuckled at the analogy.

When they reached the dorm, Siwon opened the door to reveal everyone on and around the couch, watching a movie, obviously awaiting his return.  The only two not present were Donghae and Leeteuk, who were still at Sukira.  Ryeowook was the first to his feet.  "Hyung, is he okay?"

"He's only sleeping, Wookie.  That fever took a lot out of him, and it only just broke.  He'll be fine in a couple of days, though."

"I still say you're idiots," Heechul muttered, crossing his arms.

"Only the kid could make me agree with the princess," Kangin stated, clearly annoyed, yet relieved, all the same.

Heechul flipped his hair and smiled imperiously.  "We can't all be as perfect as I am."

"Thank God for small miracles," Kangin grumbled, earning himself a vicious glare form said 'princess'.

"Well, I'm gonna bring him to his room.  As light as he is, he's still dead weight," Hankyung joked.  Bidding the others goodnight, he headed toward Eunhyuk and Donghae's room.  Once he reached it, he noticed that the door was already open, and the light on.  He walked over to the bed and carefully laid him down, covering him with the blanket that had obviously been pulled down earlier.

Hankyung had just turned out the light and was about to stand when he felt a slight tug on his sleeve.  He looked to see Eunhyuk's sleep-filled eyes on him as his sleeve was slowly released.

"Stay?"

Unable to say no to such a simple request, Hankyung joined his dongsaeng on the bed.  Resting his back against the wall, he placed Eunhyuk's head in his lap, allowing him to repeat his earlier action of stroking the younger dancer's hair.

"Thanks, Hannie."

"Any time.  I just hope Donghae doesn't get jealous."

"No reason to...love him..." His voice drifted off as he fell asleep.

He smiled gently before closing his eyes, following Eunhyuk into slumber...

...which was just how they were found by Donghae and Leeteuk, who simply closed the door, leaving the two to sleep.
