Genre: sickfic
Marko and Paul where the pranksters of the group, the tricksters that never missed an opportunity to play a joke on anyone
Even the other boys, and sometimes each other. Yet, lately no laughter ran through the cave. It was entirely too quite.
It started with a sneeze. The sound startled Paul who had been lounging next to thd curly haired vampire
"what the fuck?" he giggled making the other role his eyes, he had no idea what this would be the start of.
"Marko? You good dude?" he yelled into the darkness of ths cave, his partner in crime had been missing from that days hunt (David had simply decided to go with out him when the smallest vampire refused to get down from his perch)
He got no reply to his shout, only a horrid retching sound
"Marko...?" he called again as he walked further into the gloom but alas there was no reply
It was only when he had walked almost to the end of the lair thag he was met with a heartwrenching sight.
The other vampire lay on his side in the very back of the cave, over a puddle of regurgitated blood. Paul dropped to his knees over Marko, rolling his partner onto his side.
His Immediate reaction was, of course, to call for Dwayne (in hindsight, calling for the dark haired vampire seemed to be his response for every bad situation)
Dwayne, being as caring as he was, had rushed in to help. though as silent as ever, his hands where calm and decisive where Pauls were not and so together they managed to bring the curly haired vampire into the front of the cave and onto the comfy sofa
David, who had been alerted to situation by Dwayne, was cold like usual. Simply stating he would consult max on the matter.
Paul knew he was worried though, by the way he kept clenching and unclenching his fists. Dwayne could tell too for he slipped his hand into leaders, a comforting smile on his lips.
"we will go ask Max" the dark haired vampire said in a voice that was rarely heard, Paul always thought that was a shame simce it was a pretty nice one.
"look after him" David added as he and Dwayne prepared to leave, Paul gave him a mock salute before returning to Markos side
It was only ten minutes later when the smaller jolted awake suddenly, "paul" he whispered in a small voice as the other came to lay him back down
"Go to sleep" he told the curly haired vampire but Marko shook his head franticly
"you- you'll leave me" he cried softly, eyes wide and delirious, Paul sighed sadly before shifting the curly haired man so they could lay down together on the sofa
He pulled the smaller into his chest fondly, "Just close your eyes. I will still be here when you open them again" and Marko seemed to oblige because soon soft snoring could be heard.
Later, when Dwayne and David returned home he learned that it was probably a reaction to some type of abnormalities in the blood Marko had consumed and that the curly haired vampire would be fine in a few days. Which was true, because it was only 4 days later when the duo was back to making life hell for just about everyone.
