27 and 75 with Bobby/Alex :)
Trope Mash Up: Sick/Injured Fic + Bed Sharing
Has fandom hit on the fact that I am a sucker for sick-fic, you guys are great.
So Alex fell off the stage and hit the back of his head because a cute guy in the audience winked at him and he wants to die. Mostly from embarrassment but also his head kind of hurts. At least it was at the end of their final song so they could kind of write it off as a stylistic choice, especially when Reggie hopped off the stage in solidarity. (And maybe to flirt with a cute girl, because Reggie had game and didn’t bluescreen when someone cute winked at him.)
And the guys shuffle him off to the green room and one of the bartenders get them some ice in a clean tea-towel and tells them that they should probably monitor Alex for a concussion but he doesn’t seem to have broken anything.
(“Other than his pride!” Reggie quips and Alex gives him such a fierce glare that is a little too far off to the right that Luke is like: okay yeah Bobby is driving you home.)
And Alex doesn’t want to go home, especially not to his parents who can barely stand to be in the room with him anymore, and it’s not like he can ask his eight year old sister to monitor him for a concussion, she doesn’t know who the president is and if he gets the names of the My Little Ponies wrong she’ll probably call 911 because that counts as information she thinks everyone knows.
And Bobby is like: duh, doofus, I’m taking you home with me.
And he helps get Alex cleaned up and into some cozy pyjamas and tucked into his bed and Alex can’t even argue because his head and back hurt and he’s tired and embarrassed and feeling sorry for himself.
And then Bobby climbs in with him, and he’s shirtless, and Alex is spluttering but Bobby is just like: “How else am I going to monitor you? Now how many fingers am I holding up?”
“Two, and you keep moving the third one up and down, you asshole.”
And Bobby looks pleased and Alex gives up and face-plants against him and mourns out loud about the loss of the last couple of cool-points he had, and how he’s never going to find a guy to kiss him, because they can’t even wink at him frorm across a room without him making a fool out of himself, and he’s going to die alone and sad surrounded by cats and he doesn’t even like cats that much and...
And then Bobby kisses him. And tells him to shut up and get some sleep. And when he wakes Alex up an hour later to ask him what day of the week it is, his second question is what day of the week he wants to have their first date.
And after that, it’s not too much of a chore to wake up every hour, because each time he is rewarded with a kiss, or they plan a little part of their future date, and he’s not sure what’s happening or if this is all a dream, but by morning his headache is gone and he can see straight again. And if Bobby rolls his eyes at his joke that he never actually does anything straight, that’s okay, because he kisses him again as well.
Send me two tropes from this list and a pairing and I’ll tell you the fic to go with it.
