《5SOS Sickfics》Lashton- Detached Sickness (Part 3)
Advertisement
Michael and Calum weren't sure what to do. They considered many options, all of which were remotely possible; from going home to going out by themselves and leaving the boys with a carer. They ultimately decided that they'd just have to try and enjoy what they had, despite the others being sick.
It was 12:30 the same day when Michael and Luke are dressed and ready to go out. Luke is feeling a little better, but that's probably just the heavy stomach, fever and pain medication he is on. Michael leads Luke out of the hotel and they head down the street. Michael hails a taxi as it goes past and they hop in.
'Where to?' The taxi driver asks.
'Where you think is best to spend a nice relaxing day out, but not the beach.' Mikey says. The taxi driver nods and drives. The two of them sit quietly, staring out the windows as they watch the landscape go by. The car soon stops, outside of a games arcade. When Michael sees this he is straight out of the car and running inside. Luke groans and pays the cabbie, rushing in after Michael. He ignores the dizzy feeling that he gets as he runs.
Him and Michael spend the day in the arcade, playing games from strongman test to motorbike racing. The whole time Luke feels dizzy but doesn't tell Michael, not wanting to ruin their day. But he should've, he really should have. While they are playing that dance game with the light up arrows on the floor, the dizziness overcomes him and he falls into blackness.
Over in Hawaii, Calum and Ashton had fallen asleep in the same bed, Calum the big spoon, cuddling into Ashton. Ashton didn't wake up again that night. Both of them were glad of that. The next morning Ashton was up first, but not because of a nightmare. Just because he was always up before Calum.

He could feel a little ache in his stomach, but decides to ignore it. It was probably just because he ate too much last night. He just hoped that it wouldn't come back up. He orders room service for him and Calum, for when he wakes up. He grabs some clothes and hops into the shower. He gets out just in time for the food. He thanks them and starts to eat himself. After about 20 minutes he has finished his meal but Calum is still not awake.
He sighs and moves onto the bed, sitting on Calum. Calum mumbles something in his sleep and tries to push Ashton off of him but Ashton stays right where he is. Calum opens his eyes and tries to push Ashton off while sitting up but no avail, Ashton stays right where he is, watching with amusement. Calum grumbles and uses all his might to finally get Ashton off of him. He sits up and gets off of the bed before Ashton can hop back on.
Ashton is laughing his head off as he goes over to the room service tray and hands Calum his breakfast, earning a suspicious glance but a thank you none-the-less. Calum finishes his food and hops in the shower. This whole time the pain in Ashton's stomach had been getting worse, up to the point where it was now almost unbearable. He is lying on the bed as he starts to get a little nauseous.
Suddenly, he can feel his breakfast and dinner coming back up and he quickly runs to the bathroom door, clamping a hand over his mouth. He bangs on it hard and fast (hehe) trying to get Calum to open the door, not trusting his food not to come up is he was to shout. A few seconds later and very wet, towel covered Calum opens the door and Ashton goes running in, kneeling in front of the toilet just in time for his food to come back up.

That is how, a week later, the two of them ended up sharing a hospital room in LA, both with high fevers and stomach problems. The doctors weren't able to explain why it happened, just saying that it was a coincidence. The boys knew that it wasn't, and would do everything in their power to keep the two lads in the same area, at least for the time being.

Daily life of a cultivation judge
Tired of those cultivators who think it is righteous to eliminate a sect or clan root and stem all in the name of revenge and avoiding future troubles, fights over treasures that end up destroying cities with no consequence whatsoever to the culprit, these psychos whose aim for the peak always involves a trail of carnage and bloodshed in its wake for some reason. Then look no further than the daily life of a cultivation judge. Yang Qing, is a young genius cultivator from a low-tier family whose only safe choice to get resources and hopefully lead an easy life led him to the courts of the Cultivation Order Society. Author’s disclaimer: Hey there this is my first novel so any criticism will be well taken though beware I’m a million-year-old monster who has cultivated the way of the sword to the peak. The daily life of a cultivation judge will be true to its name so it will be heavily on the slice of life lane with a bit of action here and there.Meaning we will see the life of Yang Qing when he clocks in and out. Hopefully, it will be one of those novels you read if you need to relax or are in a slacker mood like one of those otakus who listen to the noises of cicadas in the summer famously used in most animes. And it is in the slacker spirit that chapter release will be on Wednesday,Thursday and Friday. Sank yuuu Cover art by Conny Schneider on Unsplash
