(A/N: I KNOW I should be working on my other fanfics instead of making another one, but I COULDN'T help it!! I'm a gigantic Junjou Egoist fan and I FREAKING wanted to make a fanfic with them! This idea came to me when the whole swine flu thing came around -since I live in Mexico-. I immediately thought of this, and so here it is. I began it like five weeks ago or so and I just finished this today T.T aren't I so pathetic... anyway, here you go! I hope I got the characters right... this is my first JE fanfic, so go easy on me! T-T

By the way, I own nothing of this except the plot. These two adorable cuties belong to Shungiku Nakamura-sama!! WE ALL LOVE YOU!! . . . Ahem, enjoy! :P)

You Must Survive!

Chapter 1

It was just a normal day on the small Kusama-Kamijou residence. Nowaki was watching TV while Hiroki was at the shower. He would've loved to surprise his freaking adorable and defenseless uke while he was unguarded, but he knew that Hiro-san wouldn't like that and he would probably smack him for it.

Nowaki sighed. Too bad for him. He'd have to wait.

"Nowaki, what are you staring at?" He came out of his thoughts when he heard his dear Hiro-san's voice. How he loved that voice! Hiroki sat down next to him with a towel on his neck.

"Eh? Uh, nothing really, Hiro-san," Nowaki said. He had actually been paying no attention to whatever was on TV. He had just been waiting for Hiro-san to sit with him so they could spend the afternoon together. Just looking at his Hiro-san always made him feel better.

His Hiro-san… he adored that thought.

"What are you thinking, you horny pervert?" Hiroki asked, slightly angry. Nowaki realized that he'd just blushed. That would explain Hiro-san's reaction.

"Nothing," answered Nowaki with a shy smile playing at his lips.

"You idiot."

"Yes, Hiro-san." Now it was Hiroki's turn to blush. The blue-eyed felt incredibly happy at having the power to make his love blush.

"D- Do you have the afternoon shift today?" questioned Hiroki, not getting out of his blushing state.

"No, I'm free today," said the blue-head. "Why, did you want to do something today?"

"Eh? N- Not at all…" There was the blush again! Nowaki smiled to himself once more, he did love it when he made Hiro-san blush. "Stop smiling, you pervert!"

"I'm sorry, Hiro-san," apologized Nowaki. There was silence for a while, and only the voices on the TV's news could be heard.

Then someone coughed.

One of them did, actually, it hadn't been the TV.

One of them coughed again.

Hiroki realized it was Nowaki as soon as he saw his lover with his eyes closed, a hand over his mouth, and a painful expression on his face.

"Oi, y- you okay?" he asked, worry filling his voice. Was Nowaki sick?

"I—I'm fine, Hiro-san, don't worry!" He waved a hand in front of his face to show his 'well-being,' but still, Hiroki wasn't that sure.

"Do you want me to get you to a doctor?" The brunet was surprised at himself. How had he said that in such a calm tone? He would usually stutter or get caught on his words whenever he tried to ask Nowaki something that related to them or their relation.

"No, no, it's all right, probably I just have a slight cough, I'll be fine!" His lover frowned at him.

Nowaki never lied. He could hide the truth, but not lie; ever. He just couldn't, his nature was that of an honest man… so why would he lie now?—most of all if it was something concerning his health. But maybe he didn't want to worry the brunet…

Stupid Nowaki, he should know better than that already!

"A- Are you sure it's just a cough?" Hiroki brought a hand up to Nowaki's forehead and felt it warmer than usual. "Y- You idiot, you have a fever!" he realized, yelling it so that his somewhat slightly dumb lover would realize it too instead of keeping the 'I'm fine' speech. "I w- want you to go rest this same instant, all right?!"

"But, Hiro-san…!" Anger flowed through Hiroki's veins.

"No buts! Sick people have to rest!" He took Nowaki's hand and dragged him to their room, then pushed him away until the blue-head was lying on the bed. "Now sleep!" he yelled. Nowaki was about to argue, but he saw no point to it.

He couldn't say no to his Hiro-san.

He rather smiled and closed his eyes, shifting his position until he was comfortable enough to fall asleep. Hiroki sat down in a chair in front of the bed, staring at Nowaki, his elbows at his knees and his chin resting on the back of his hands. He wasn't going to leave until he was sure the blue-head was asleep.

Was he so stupid that he hadn't noticed his own fever? Or was it that he wanted to keep it hidden from Hiro-san? The brunet could just wonder.

Maybe he'd just gotten it recently, he thought. After all, Nowaki had been working until late hours this past week; they hadn't seen each other that much. It was possible that he hadn't said anything because he hadn't seen Hiro-san. That's why they had cell phones—so that they could call each other if something was wrong! It was only until he heard the low and calm snoring from Nowaki that Hiroki left the room, leaving the door a bit open to know if his lover needed anything.

In fact, he did want to go out that day. Of course, his pride wouldn't allow him to say a word! Actually, he was planning to casually suggest going out, because they would "have nothing to do in the house." But he also knew that, with Nowaki being the horny pervert he was, the blue-head would probably find something to do; and that something would make his pride fall to the floor like so many times before. However, he had wanted to at least have the chance to try.

Oh, great, now he was blushing again! Hiroki shook his head and tried to focus on the TV and the silence that assured him Nowaki was resting.

"That's the third school that has suffered from the Swine Flu epidemic that started around America some months ago," the woman on the news was saying. "It seems as though there'll be an outbreak soon, but we're still advising everyone to wear a surgical mask when going to a crowded place in order to stay unaffected. We do not know if this 'plague' will stop or increase yet, and more than 100 people have already been confirmed to suffer from this virus. If you know someone who is suffering from symptoms resembling a cold, please take them to a medical center as soon as possible."

More than 100 people already? He'd heard of this Swine Flu, but he didn't think it was this big of a plague to reach over to Japan. His eyes widened when a thought came to his mind.

Nowaki was sick… he was coughing and he had a fever… the two together were considered as a cold.

But… it wasn't because of this epidemic, was it? He—He wasn't… he couldn't be a case of the Swine Flu…

Could he?

(A/N: So, this will probably be a two-shot, maybe three if it's really necessary, and I'll be focusing on this one to have it complete A.S.A.P so that I can continue with my other fanfics, and probably this helps with my writer's block for Yu-Gi-Oh! fanfics... -sighs- I hope you enjoyed this small beginning! I'll try to have next chapter in less than a week, so if I'm lucky and get lots of reviews -grins- I may have it tomorrow! :D Okay, maybe monday... Anyway, review, you guys! Me loves you all! X3 and we all love Nowaki and Hiro-san!! XP REVIEW!! :D)
