Tough Pill

@ Ian.Eastwood

Kris looked at him, “I can fix your shirt now, if you want to take it off..”

@ yue.yue
Tao bit his bottom lip before he took his shirt off to hand it to Kris.

@ Ian.Eastwood

Kris took it and got the thread ready before he began sewing up Tao’s shirt.

@ yue.yue
Tao stared down at his lap while Kris was fixing his shirt, ‘thankyou.’

@ Ian.Eastwood

“Of course, Tao.” Kris smiled.

@ yue.yue
‘You’ve done so much for me. What can I do for you?’

@ Ian.Eastwood

Kris thought for a moment. “I’m not sure. What do you feel like doing for me?”

@ yue.yue
‘I don’t know but you’ve done everything. I have to do something.’

@ Ian.Eastwood

“You want to do something for me? Eat something, please, and get something to drink, please?” Kris said.

@ yue.yue
‘I-I can’t...’ he wasn’t sure if he could keep any of it down right now.

@ Ian.Eastwood

Kris frowned, “please? It’ll make me worry less...I’ll even make your favorite food..” he said as he watched him.

@ yue.yue
‘O-okay...I-I’ll try...’

@ Ian.Eastwood

“Thank you.” Kris smiled and quickly finished his shirt. “Okay, done. I’ll go make you something to eat.”

@ yue.yue
Tao nodded, ‘I don’t want you to worry about me.’

@ Ian.Eastwood

“I’ll always worry about you, Tao..” Kris said as he went into the kitchen to make Tao’s favorite dish.

@ yue.yue
Tao didn’t even realize when he started to pull on a loose thread from his jeans.

@ Ian.Eastwood

Kris finished cooking the food before making a plate for him and Tao. He brought it into the living room and sat both plates down before he noticed Tao pulling at a thread on his jeans. “Tao..”

@ yue.yue
He stopped instantly, ‘I’m sorry...’

@ Ian.Eastwood

“I got your food ready.” Kris said as he sat down beside him.

@ yue.yue
Tao nodded, ‘thank you Kris.’
