Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Why?" Riley asked quietly, gently squeezing his shoulders as he shifted on the bed so that Dom would be more comfortable.

He nodded and sighed. "I'm glad something does," he murmured laying Dom down on the bed as soon as he heared him yawning. He pulled the blankets over him, lightly ran his hand down Dom's arm, and then slid off the bed.

Riley watched Dom for a while before he sat down at his desk and began sketching. He didn't imagine that Dom would be up for several more hours at least. Hopefully that running in the rain wouldn't get him sick.

Riley froze when he heared Dom sneeze and glanced over at him. Oh dear. The dreaded cold. Germs. He closed his eyes to calm his breathing and moved next to Dom. If he was ever going to get over that now would be the time he supposed.

"I'm fine," he replied gently,"You aren't. You're sick. You know what this means?" He asked, sitting down next to him on the bed. "No more rain runs for awhile," he explained softly, pleased at how well he was not freaking out from being so close to a sick person. "Can you handle that?"

"Well you are," Riley replied sternly and slid down from the bed,"And the running is SO out of question. Besides its hailing now. I don't think hail is such a wonderful thing to run through. Like walking on clouds I suppose." He grabbed cough syrup and a bottle of peanut butter. He himself hated the taste of cough syrup and there wasn't anything else in the dorm to get rid of the taste.

He shrugged and took the cough syrup from him. "I'll have to think about that," he replied softly and sat down on the floor next to Dom's bed with a cringe. What should he do? Cleanliness had never failed him before but this was Dom he was talking about. Of course he wanted to kiss him but... "Possibly," He confessed, blushing and letting out a shaky breath,"Just focus on getting better. Okay?"

He stared after Dom for a few minutes before he sighed and went to the window. The hail had stopped leaving more rain. This was the worst storm he had seen in awhile. He was very glad they were on the second floor so if there was flooding it would have to rise higher to get here. He sat down in the window sill and opened the window. Rain hit his cheeks immediately but he didn't care. He needed to find out what about the rain had driven Dom out three times now. He stared out at the rain for a while before he closed the window and leaned up against the glass, water dripping down from his hair down his cheek. There was no answers out there. He was left just as confused as before.
