Sweetman in sweetworld

Grace wont leave his bed. He was maybe a little slow about getting up in the morning, but eventually, he would get out of bed. So it was weird. Rocky could knock on his door, it wouldn't change anything.

Rocky was even ready to broke it when the door finally opened. But on a complete other human.

Simon.

The eridians had "adopted" this new human for a while now. He was lost and they thought it would please Grace their savior to have another human with him. Surely they did not expected to see them "mating" so quickly. Humans were surely not losing time!

But all that wont solve the problem of today.

"Where Grace, question?"

Simon was different from Grace. He did not talk that much. At least he was mostly to Grace. So of course, the human get back inside, only with saying two words "follow me".

But Rocky was not patient. He followed and even ran to their destination. Until they entered the bedroom, where Grace was still lying down. Rocky did not hesitate to go on the bed, worried.

"Grace bad, question?"

"I'm fine Rocky." He said with a small voice, trying to reassure.

It was not very successful, since he coughed immediately after, and several times.

"I'm just sick." Continued Grace anyway.

"Sick, question?"

"You know, feeling bad. I think it's just the flu. Dont know where I got it thought."

Grace sighed. Then sank into his bed, almost disappearing under his blanket.

"I just need some sleep."

"I watch you sleep."

Grace turned to his best friend. Of course. He should not had expected another response.

"Can you move from the bed ? At least? You are too warm and I already have a fever..."

He got out of bed and sat down at his bedside. Simon did the same, sitting on the floor with Rocky.

"Simon you don't have..." Grace tried to say, it was becoming hard to talk. "You'll catch my flu."

But Simon did not listen, of course. While looking at him, he took Grace's hand in his. Showing they were there, they were real.

"Flu bad. We protect you." Concluded Rocky.
