Summary
It was impossible yet true—every time he coughed, small flowers would tear their way up his throat, choking him, before they fell past his lips and into his hands.
Flowers.
Forget-Me-Nots, to be exact.

Summary
“Look, I’m sorry.” When Ronan stayed quiet, Adam took a deep breath and weighed his words; he found them too light, not enough to tip the scales against Ronan’s silence. Softer, he went on, “If I were home, I’d get in bed and let you fuss over me, spoon-feed me soup, whatever you want.” Ronan made a quiet sound of acknowledgement. “But I’ve been taking care of myself for pretty much my entire life. I can handle this.”
Ronan stayed silent for a little longer, and when he spoke, his voice was low, almost hoarse. “You don’t not want me around?”

Summary
“Missed you guys so much,” Adam mumbles against Gansey’s shoulder while he wriggles one arm free and puts it around Ronan.
“We missed you, too, baby.” Ronan’s breath is warm against Adam’s neck, and Adam leans into him, eager to absorb as much of his body heat as possible. “How’re you feeling?”
Shaking his head, Adam sniffles, then ducks his head toward his chest as he coughs quietly. “Not good.”
“Oh, my love.” Gansey pulls back a little, tilting Adam’s head up with a knuckle under his chin and frowning. “Let’s get you home.”

Ronan and Gansey welcome Adam home from a long day of travel.

Summary
He thought about asking Adam if he’d planned on telling them that he wasn’t feeling well in the first place (beyond stuffing his calc homework through the slit of Ronan’s locker with a note saying he got sent home with strep throat after first period,) or if he’d called out of work yet, or if Ronan could stick around until Adam’s fever was down for good, but he didn’t. Instead, he crunched through his popsicle in a few bites and read the joke on the stick out loud.
“Why don’t robots have brothers?”

Adam gets sent home from school, and Ronan goes by St. Agnes to make sure his friend is taken care of.

Summary
Adam was wheezing now, but at least he’d stopped coughing. “Cabeswater?”
"Yeah,” he admitted. “Thinking of calling it something better ‘cause Cabeswater two-point-oh sounds fucking lame.”
“Need help brainstorming?”

Summary
“—help,” he choked. “They can’t help.”
Impossibly, impossibly, impossibly, there was something that hadn’t been there before, and it took a moment for Blue’s brain to process what she was seeing. In the blankets around him, clutched in his hands, on his lips, sprinkled with red, were a few, tiny Forget-Me-Nots.
And, as if to prove that this was, indeed, real, Adam coughed again, deeply, and one more red-and-blue blossom fell from his lips.

Summary
Adam was pulling on his Harvard sweatshirt when Ronan said, “I wanna wear that one.”
Eyes narrowed in question, Adam lowered his arms but kept them in the sleeves. “It’s...my sweatshirt?”
“Yeah, but it’s my sick sweatshirt,” Ronan said, as if it were an obvious explanation.
Narrowing his eyes, Adam slowly pulled the sweatshirt off, but draped it over his arm instead of handing it to Ronan. “That’s like, not a thing.”
Ronan shrugged, still holding his hand out, now making grabby hands at Adam. “Yes, it is. It’s soft and it smells like you and you had me wear it that one time I got super sick and,” he said the next part a little quieter, “I’ve kind of been wearing it whenever I don’t feel good since.”

Summary
“You’re a fucking wreck, Parrish,” Ronan called back, taking three popsicles from the freezer--red for Adam and Opal (because she liked it when they matched) and purple for himself (because no one else liked that flavor, and if he didn’t eat them, they’d slowly get smushed into a sticky pile at the bottom of the freezer). “O, that’s a—”
“--word for home, not for school, I know.” They had been trying to be more careful about that distinction after an interesting phone call with her teacher.
“Right.” Coming back into the living room, he sat on Opal’s other side and looked over her at Adam. “If you’re sick enough to get sent home from work, you’re too sick to chase this one around all day.”
Adam sighed. “Fine."

Adam, to no one's surprise, goes to work when he shouldn't. His colleague looks out for him and sends him home, where Ronan takes over with loving gestures and ill-advised kisses. Opal gets a variety of snacks out of all this.

Summary
Ronan held up the thermometer. “Humor me.”
Adam sighed and let Ronan not only put the thermometer in his mouth, but hold it in place for the ten seconds or so it took to read. All the while, he looked at his boyfriend, and while it took a moment to place, he finally figured out Ronan’s expression: eyebrows drawn together, lips pursed, eyes focused on Adam’s mouth. In any other circumstance, it might have looked like anger, but—
Worry. Ronan was worried. About him.

After returning from the weekend with a sick Ronan, Adam isn't doing too well himself; his friends decide it's time to call for reinforcement.

Summary
It’s been about four months since the district and the doctors outvoted Adam on homebound schooling. He’s made it farther than she thought, after that awful week with him and Blue and the hospital, but he’s sixteen now and he needs new lungs. He’s getting up there on the transplant list, but it’s going to take another bad event for him to speed to the top. Otherwise, it’ll take a few more months.
He’s so sick. Just on a baseline level.

Summary
Adam just coughs—hard and hollow. His whole chest is moving and yet nothing is coming up. Oh, RT is going to be an absolute shitshow. He can feel it.
“I don’t like the sound of that,” Claire says.
“Does anyone?” Adam gets out, kicks the blankets off because he’s somehow cold but also too warm and doesn’t know what to do about it. Claire just slides the mask back on him. Adam takes it back off. Calla’s on the couch, her eyes glued to the phone. “Where’s Maura? Or was I super fucking out of it?”
“Language,” Calla says. “Maura was here, but Blue got sick at school so she’s going to get her.”
“Blue’s sick? With what?” Adam asks. “Did she get me sick? ‘M gonna kill her.”

Summary
But dry heaving sucks, and Adam feels tears spring in eyes out of synch with the jumping of the muscles in his lower back. It doesn’t stop, not even when Ronan appears, one hand smoothing Adam’s hair back from his forehead, the other rubbing circles on his back.
Fuck. Adam had been trying to not wake Ronan up. He’s been worrying so much.
“Ugh,” Adam gets out, when it’s over. He goes to stand, and Ronan’s hands ease the process, make sure Adam is steady on his own feet. He’s not. Ronan’s hand remains tight around Adam’s waist, helping Adam stay upright as he swishes some water around his mouth and spits. Adam doesn’t protest Ronan all but carrying Adam back to bed.
“This appointment is gonna be a shitshow,” Adam mumbles. “I haven’t, like, slept all week.”
“It’s gonna be okay,” Ronan says. “Maybe it’s not as bad as we think.”
(title from The Archer by Taylor Swift)
