“Really, guys. I’m fine.” the sniff& dry cough that followed as soon as Mark finished saying this didn’t help him convince his friends at all.
“Mark, you were practically sleeping on the kitchen counter a minute ago.” Bob slipped on a jacket & grabbed the keys to Mark’s car.
Mark was letting him & Wade borrow his car so they could go get some groceries & more cold medicine for him. “I wasn’t sleeping, I was just resting…”
“Whatever you say. Danny & Arin said they’d be here soon, they can take care of you while we’re gone.” Wade said looking at his phone for the time.
It wasn’t that Mark didn’t like spending time with the two Game Grumps, he just didn’t think that doing so while he was sick was very much fun for any of them.
Just a few minutes later there was a knock on the door & Bob opened it to let Arin & Danny in. Mark peeked over the back of the couch listening to Bob explain what he was & wasn’t allowed to do in their absence. He crossed his arms over his chest, he was an adult. Yes he was sick & yes he could get a bit loopy from the medicine. But that didn’t mean he couldn’t take care of himself.
Arin & Danny waved Bob & Wade off before they went to the livingroom. “Okay, Markimoo. What should we do fir-” Danny paused finding that Mark wasn’t where Bob had said he should be. The couch was empty except for a pillow & a blanket. He looked to Arin who shrugged.
“Let’s go find him.” Arin headed upstairs leaving Danny to cover the first floor. “Maaark?” he called in a sing song voice searching every room. It didn’t take long to find the shorter male in the bathroom almost chugging down a shot of what was left of the cold medicine.
Mark noticed Arin & raised his eyebrows headed towards his room. “Need to record some videos…”
Arin shook his head, he was already loopy as hell. “Nope!” he reached out & scooped Mark up to carry him back down to the couch.
Mark was rather surprised by this & whine, “Ariiiin…”
Hearing the noise Danny came up & met them at the stairs, “Oh hey, Mark.”
Mark huffed a bit, “You guys…I can take care of myself you know…”
“Oh really, when was the last time you took a shower?” Danny touched Mark’s messy hair as he raised an eyebrow.
Mark pressed his lips together & creased his eyebrows thinking.
“If you have to think about, it’s time for another shower.” Danny smiled.
Mark decided not to complain about this, the thought of the warm water actually sounded good. He let Arin carry him back to the bathroom, as if he had a choice.
Danny started the water letting it get warm & turned to Mark pursing his lips. “I don’t think he’s gonna be able to keep his balance.”
Arin looked at Mark setting him on his feet, almost immediately Mark seemed to sway a bit. “Seems like you’re right. We’ll just have to get in there with him.”
Mark processed this a moment & blushed softly, which was hard to see since his face was already rather pink. “Ssshut up…”
The grumps laughed & Danny started working on getting Mark’s clothes off. Arin held Mark steady so he didn’t trip or lose his balance & end up on the floor. In no time all three of them were naked & under the warm spray of the water.
Mark was vaguely aware of how odd this might be. But honestly, he was too out of it to care. Plus, just as he had thought, the water felt good. He let his eyes drift closed & leaned against Arin.
Danny stood behind Mark & worked on shampooing his hair.
Arin focused on washing Mark’s chest & back.
Both grumps couldn’t help but smile seeing that Mark seemed to be liking this.
Unfortunately for Mark the water was shut off too soon & he opened his eyes to see that he’d been well cleaned. With helped he got out of the shower & was dried off like some helpless puppy. But he was okay with that, it meant less work for him.
Once the grumps got themselves dried off they got dressed & helped Mark put a clean shirt & pajama pants on since the shorter of the three couldn’t figure out where the front was.
Mark then attempted to make his way out of the bathroom, but instead went face first into the hall wall. He stumbled a bit rubbing his face muttering something about missing his glasses.
Arin resorted to carrying him in to his bedroom, a bed must be more comfortable to nap on then a couch.
Mark sighed once he was laid down on his bed, he was aware of one of them laying a blanket over him as well. A thought came to his mind & he reached up grabbing Arin & Danny’s hands.
They looked at him a bit surprised, “What’s up, Mark?” Arin looked to Mark seeing him look back at them with half lidded eyes.
“Cold…” Mark muttered & insistently tugged on their arms.
Danny looked at Arin & shrugged. He laid down on Mark’s right while Arin laid down on his left. They’d warm him up.
Mark faced Danny & instinctively cuddled into him closing his eyes. When he felt Arin wrap his arms around him he held onto his hand. He’d think about why he thought this was a good idea later when he was less sick & out of it. For now, he was comfy & warmer.
Arin glanced at Danny with a grin & settled in to nap for as long as Mark wanted.
Danny was perfectly okay to do this as well just listening to Mark’s somewhat stuffed up breathing.
By the time Bob & Wade got back they found Mark cocooned in a mass of blanket & grump. But at least he was resting.
