I have some medication, Sherlock, its an... antidote, if you will. It will probably make you vomit, but if you've taken too much, I can't let your stomach absorb it, alright? Just... stay awake, please. I'll be right back.
[ Hard to stay strong when its not just another patient, but your best friend - hell, your lover whose very life could be in grave danger. He'd lost friends before, of course, in Afghanistan, and he'd be damned if he lost the most important person in his life. He hoped it wasn't that serious - Sherlock was still breathing, could talk a little - but he didn't want to take any chances. He returned a short moment ( ... )

Its alright, Sherlock. I've got you. You're fine now. It will be over soon, I promise.

[The man's voice was shaky and muffled as Sherlock was practically talking into John's hair. Though he was freezing, the fever he must have had was starting to dissipate slowly because there was some slightly instances of clarity here and there. Sherlock would shift a little bit and was actually laying little chaste kisses along his cheek and down his neck in a manner that wasn't so much sexual as it was purely out of thanks for simply being there.]

Don't ever do this to me again, alright? I'm serious, Sherlock. I can't... I can't take this again.

[The detective would reluctantly pull himself away, gazing down at this wonderfully patient man through the wet curls that hung over his face. His knees would give but not so much to really cause him to have to grab onto John in any desperate attempt to keep standing.] ..aren't you cold? You... you'll get sick..

Alright. Let's get you dried off.

John... [His voice is light and the look to his eyes is that of sheer exhaustion as Sherlock runs a hand through the wet blond hair.]

But he's aware its rather cold, and he eventually moves to help his exhausted flatmate out of the shower, then snatching a towel to help him dry off first. He dried himself off as well, towel-drying his short hair only briefly, before slipping an arm around the other's waist to lead him back to their bedroom. ]
Come on. Let's get you into some warm pajamas.

C'mon, Sherlock. Clothes, then bed, I promise.
[ The other will have to work with him just a little to get the clothes situated over that taller frame. Then, and only then, can he sink into the bed and under the covers with Sherlock, not about to leave him alone tonight. ]

Yes, alright. You really should get some rest now, Sherlock.

...sleep with me.
[It was hard to tell if the man was either asking or telling, the inflection at the end of his words wasn't quite clear but Sherlock did tug on John's hand a bit.]

As if I could possibly say no.
[ Leaning over to kiss Sherlock's forehead once more, he settled down beside him under those warm covers, and pulled the taller man closer to his bare chest. He was, after all, only wearing briefs, but his body heat, along with the blankets, would be enough to keep the other man warm. He wrapped his arms around the other's pale frame, one hand tangling gently into those dark curls, and his actions were as much for himself as they were Sherlock. He didn't want to let him go, for fear of losing him to another poor judgment call. ]

It was an accident you know... [His voice was still quiet but it was obvious that he had a better grasp of things now.] ..had nothing to do with you.

I know, Sherlock, its alright... but it still affected me. I know you've... 'dabbled' in drugs before, I just rather hoped you wouldn't feel the need to do that now. You already put your life in danger enough as it is, with your job. I don't want to see you risk it over something you could have controlled.
