Fever
When they returned to the bedroom area, Sawyer insisted that Peter lay down in the bottom bunk this time. He took the blanket off the top bunk and covered Peter up with both of the blankets to get him warmed up. Peter’s teeth were actually chattering now because of the fever he was running. Sawyer decided that Sun would probably return soon and that Peter needed more warming up so he climbed into the bed with Peter and lay down behind him so they were in a spooning position. “You’re just not giving up are you?” Peter quipped.
“Funny,” Sawyer said, “I’m trying to warm up your ass with a little body heat. If I get fresh, you’ll know it.”
“Thanks,” Peter said through his shivering. He actually liked the fact that Sawyer was cuddled up to him. He was strongly attracted to him and liked the close contact. Sawyer was right, in about 15 minutes both Sun and Sayid came ambling down the hallway. Surprise registered on both their faces when they saw Sawyer cuddled up to Peter.
“He’s freezing and shaking tremendously, but he feels like he is burning up to me. I’m trying to keep him warm with body heat, and I’ve got both blankets on him. Go find Jack and ask him to come now. I’m worried he might have a bad infection.” Sun nodded and left quickly to go find Jack.
Sayid sat down for a moment just taking it all in before he spoke. “Jack will check him out and will treat him soon. You know you should be careful Sawyer with this one, you should have heard the discussion around the campfire last night. People might get the wrong idea. They were saying that he was young and gay and very promiscuous.”
Peter groaned, “I’m not dead and I can hear Sayid.”
Sawyer meanwhile felt himself getting angry. “It seems to me that what I do or don’t do and who I do it with is nobody’s else’s business. I’m just keeping him warm for Christ’s sake!”
“You’re obviously attracted to one another; people will be able to see that. I’m not saying anything is going on, but just be aware that you could face repercussions if you two become close.”
“Yeah, well, I’m already the number one outcast on this island, so I’m not concerned about slipping in the ratings,” Sawyer snorted. Sayid shrugged his shoulders and went back down the hall to the computer room. He made a mental note to not give Sawyer any more warnings, let him find it out on his own the hard way. That’s what he got for trying to save Sawyer some heartache and headaches too. Sun returned shortly with Jack in tow. Jack’s face registered surprise at seeing them curled up together.
Jack put his hands on Peter’s forehead immediately to do a quick check. “You’re burning up. You’re fighting infection alright.”
“Yep, and I feel like I’m freezing to death even with Sawyer and two blankets to warm me up.”
Jack went and got the thermometer and stuck it in Peter’s mouth. “No talking for three minutes,” he said as he checked Peter’s vital signs. When he checked the thermometer he let out a small sigh, “Well, that’s not good. 102.5 degrees F. I’m going to check the medicines and I’ll be back shortly. Did you eat breakfast this morning?”
“Yep, Sun brought us some fruit which I ate.” Jack walked out and down the hall.
Sun started back down the hall, turned and smiled, “I brought back some more fruit, a few vegetables from the garden, and a good sized piece of freshly roasted boar meat that Locke was fixing for our lunch. I’ll bring both of you some of it. You both could use the nourishment since you’re sick.”
Jack reappeared in a few moments with some medicine and a bottle of water and handed them both to Peter. “Sit up and take it now,” he ordered. “We need to get it into your system as soon as possible. You developed fever really quickly. You don’t have anything else that I should know about do you?”
Peter looked off and sighed. “No, I don’t have any other diseases that I know of. I’m generally careful and use rubbers. No hepatitis, no AIDs or HIV, no VD, though Sawyer could have been taking his life in his hands last night if I wasn’t clean, course I guess I was too. I’ve never done drugs other than to smoke pot sporadically, so no needle usage. But I do feel like shit, and I’m sure freezing.”
“Well, you should stay awake until you can eat some of the lunch Sun is fixing, and then you should get some sleep this afternoon.”
“I’m still sorta unsteady on my feet too Jack, thought I should tell you.”
“Well, we’ll see if you’re doing better tonight,” Jack replied. He got up to go and reached over and touched Peter’s face again, and pushed his long hair out of his eyes. Sawyer felt his gut tighten ever so slightly. Oh great, he thought, don’t tell me I’m jealous of the Doc touching him. If he’d been more self aware he might have realized he was also jealous of Jack too.
