Big Bang Theory

T he new and improved Rajesh?

I have not written a story about Raj before this should be fun! Or yeah and even though I know for sure Howards not gay no matter what anyone says I know Raj is gay and in that damn closet! ;)

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Raj lay in bed thinking, today had been a bad day, a very bad day. His friends had all yelled at him today even Howard who was supposed to be his best friend he was only trying to help, how should he supposed to know Leonard had already put Sheldon to bed and he would wake Sheldon up by singing to cheer Leonard up (he had split up with Penny again for like the millionth time!) who by the way wasn't thankful at all...Sheldon was...well just Sheldon really, or the fact that Penny just happened to not have a dog and did not like them either, he would have loved it if a dog came trudging in his apartment searching for a friend, especially if his friend sent him to say hello, mind you he did love animals. But Howard was the worst of them all, he tried to help him from drowning in a pool when all was doing was dancing...with looked a lot more like drowning to Raj it not his fault he came from India...and India's a very hot country no swimming pools there man! Howard yelled at him and never gave him chance to even apologize, so all in all very bad day!

"Achooooo!" "COUGH!" "Groan!" or yeah did I mention to top all this off he was very ill on top of being very upset. Apart from sweating like a pig even though he was freezing cold. His eyes being very itchy as well as his runny nose, he felt sick and weak and could not even make it downstairs for food he was so hungry...he just prayed he didn't need the bathroom anytime soon...which of course to him that was like hoping for snow in India. He needed help, and even though he was sulking hunger and common sense got the better of him, he rang his best friend for help.

"Hello? Is that you Raj I'm sorry about before I...Raj are you ok you sound like your crying"

"WHOS CRYING, YOU'RE TOO OLD TO CRY HOWARD YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW!"

"NO MA! RAJ IS ON THE PHONE I THINK HE'S UPSET!"

"POOR BABY SEE WHAT WRONG HOWARD YOU'RE HIS BEST FRIEND!"

"I'M TRYING BUT I HAVE TO ANSWER YOU MA!"

"OK BABY I'LL LEAVE YOU TO YOUR GAY LIFE"

(Raj tensed at that part in stress but he held his ground, Howard would not help him if he yelled at his mum...besides Raj loved her anyway)

"MA!"

"WHAT WE'RE ALL THINKING IT!"

(Raj decided to speak up before Howard forgot he was there and argued with his mum) "Howard...sorry but I need you right now...I feel sick...and I can't get up, I'm hungry and need food...and I know I sound like a child right now...but please help...I know I am annoying but...I need you right now."

"Ok, buddy it's ok I'll be there very soon ok and bring the first aid kid Sheldon gave me on my birthday...aren't you glad we are friends with the safety freak Raj ha-ha..." Howard tried to make a small joke to cheer up his friend, Raj tried to smile but couldn't quite manage it he felt his eyes getting droopy

"I can't answer door...Howard...sleepy

"It's ok buddy...I can ask Sheldon for spare key"

"Ok...Howard...thanks..."

"Only for my closest friend"

"Who might that be..." joked Raj

"Ha-ha very funny you're well enough to joke then, good sign...I'll be there soon ok...Bye?"

"Bye..."

Howard was over at Raj's house soon after Sheldon and Leonard came over as well with first aid kit, cards and a snake teddy.

Raj loved the teddy and soon wrapped it around himself laying his head comfortable on the snakes head...he was so soft. He'd have to think of a name later when he felt less like he was going to die.

Leonard felt his forehead and put a thermometer in his mouth, he looked very apologetic for some reason proberly for earlier, Sheldon for some reason was wearing a gas mask, scarf, gloves, coat, hat, earmuffs-or yeah OCD he didn't want to get sick to couldn't say Raj really blamed him, he should of expected it he was still too weak right now to even smile otherwise he would have laughed a long side Howard and teased him about it. Anyway his temperature was extremely high and he felt a cold cloth on his head and felt his hand being touched...he couldn't believe it but, Howard was holding his hand he trying not to blush he held onto Howard's hand closing his eyes in pain from his head yet comforted by Howard's closeness...shit what was he saying...he sounded so...gay right now...

Leonard also found his cuts from thrashing from nightmares during the night, and put cream on them Sheldon insisted on plasters even though they were not so deep, the cloth was kept on his head and he felt if they weren't careful steam would go though it he felt that hot.

Unknown to Raj though Howard felt guilt in his stomach, his best friend only got this sick if he was stressed out and he thought it was his fault.
