Liam's pov
We have just finish our up all night tour and Lux has come down with the chickenpox. I don't remember having the chickenpox when I was little. I've just texted my mum to ask her. I look at my arm and I spot a red spot and I get really worried. Niall walks into our room. I quickly roll down my sleeve "Are you ok babe?" I nod. Niall sits down and pulls me into a hug. "You feel warm are you sure that you are ok?" I shrug and say "I don't remember if I had the chickenpox and my mum hasn't responds "I'm sure you have had the chickenpox before" I nod and see a text from my mum saying 'No you have never had chickenpox before. Why?' I text back saying 'Lux has the chickenpox and I think I have court them' I put my phone down and cuddle further into Niall "Ok now I know you are not feeling well. Sure you love cuddles but never normally this much" I respond sadly "I think I have the chickenpox. I've never had them before. Just hold me" Niall nods and holds me close.
After a few minutes Louis comes upstairs and barges into mine and Niall's room and says "Dinner is ready Haz cooked for us" Niall nods and tries to stand up but I whine "Don't leave me" Niall responds "I'm not going to. You need to come down as well" I respond sadly "I'm not hungry." Niall responds "Well I am can you come down with me?" I shake my head. I hear Niall sigh and say to Louis "We'll be down in a minute" Louis nods and leaves the room "come on Li. We need to go and get some dinner. You'll be hungry otherwise. I promise after dinner we can come back upstairs and cuddle or we can cuddle on the sofa and watch a movie" I nods and we go downstairs.
After dinner Niall's pov
Liam is lead with his head in my lap and his legs are across Louis, Harry and Zayn practically asleep but he is fighting it because he wants to finish watching the lion king. I whisper to him "You won't miss much now. Go to sleep babe you are tired" Liam nods and cuddles into me more and closes his eyes and soon he is asleep.
At the end of the movie I say to the others "I'm going to take him up to bed and stay upstairs with him" they nod and I carefully pick Liam up and carry him upstairs. I gently lay Liam down in the bed and I get changed and I crawl into bed next to Liam. I pull him to my chest and he cuddles into me more. I smile. I check his chest face, arms and legs for spots he has a few on his chest, and legs and he has loads on his arms. I go on my phone for a while before I start yawning. I put my phone down and I fall asleep quickly hoping to get a few hours sleep.
A few hours later Liam's pov
I get woken up in a lot of itchiness and discomfort especially on my stomach and back and arms. I scratch my stomach. Tears start to well up in my eyes. A tear falls down my face. Niall must have woken up to me moving around a lot. He pulls my hands away from my stomach "Stop scratching" I respond "They are too itchy though" Niall gently rubs my stomach "I know babe but you can't scratch them. We'll get you to a doctor tomorrow" Niall let's go of my hands and I start to scratch my arms.
Niall sighs and gets out of bed. He goes over to the wardrobe and grabs something out. He comes back over and I spot socks. He pulls my hand to him and he puts a sock on my hand and does the same to the other "Why did you put socks on my hands?" I respond "So you will stop scratching your spots." I frown and whine "but they are so itchy" I try to take the socks off my hands but Niall grabs my hands in his and says "No Li you are not allowed to scratch it could give you permanent scars" I look down with tears welling up in my eyes. Niall lifts my head up and hugs me "I know it itches but you have got to try really hard not to scratch ok" I nod into Niall's shoulder. "Go back to sleep babe. We'll go to the doctor tomorrow morning." I nod and we lay down and I close my eyes.
Niall's pov
I hum a soft tune to Liam to help him fall asleep. He is soon asleep. I smile and hold him protectively. I close my eyes and fall asleep. I get woken up a few hour later by Liam shaking me. "Are you ok Li?" He shakes his head and says with tears falling "Can I take the socks off my hands?" I shake my head and say "No. You are not allowed to scratch" Liam responds "I'm not going to. The socks are making my hands itch" I takes the socks off his hands and I look at them and see loads of spots on them. I take a proper look at his face and I see loads of spots on his face. "It's so itchy Niall" I gently rub his back and I say to him gently "let's make you a doctors appointment" Liam nods and I go to phone 111 (a/n the non emergency number for the NHS in the uk).
The phone conversation still Niall's pov
"One one one. How can we help you?" I respond "My boyfriend has come down with the chickenpox. He keeps on complaining that they are very itchy" the operator responds "How old is he?" I respond concerned "Eighteen." The operator responds "Ok. I wouldn't worry. Keep an eye on him and if he shows any signs of an infection take him to the hospital immediately. Do not let him scratch his spots it could cause permanent scaring which I'm sure you are already aware of." I nod and respond "Ok thanks for your help." The operator responds "Your welcome. Bye" the call ends and I say to Liam "You don't need to go to the hospital. I just need to keep an eye on you." Liam nods and says "Make the itching stop" I gently rub his back and say "I'll search up how to stop the itching boy you can not scratch them." Liam nods. I grab my phone and search up how to help the chickenpox from itching. I see that having an oatmeal bath will help. I call Louis
"Niall why are you calling me? Why don't you come downstairs?" I respond "Liam has got the chickenpox. Could you or someone go to a drugstore to pick up some oatmeal bath and some calamine lotion to put on Liam. What I can see at the moment, which are his arms and face he is absolutely covered in them" Louis responds "Of course Nialler. I'll be about half an hour" I respond "Ok thank you Lou" Louis responds "Your welcome" the call ends.
Liam says "Niall my throat hurts" I think to myself 'Please don't tell me that he has chickenpox in his mouth' Then I say out loud "Can I have a look please Li?" He nods and opens his mouth. I see little red spots on the back of his throat. I sigh and say "They are everywhere aren't they Li?" He nods and starts crying. I pull him into a hug and say "Do you want an ice lolly?" He shakes his head "It'll make your throat feel better" Liam nods and I say "Can I go and get you one then?" He shakes his head "You come with me then" Liam nods and we start to go downstairs Harry spots us and says "Li your arms and face are covered in them" we both nod and I say to Harry "He also has some in his mouth" I look over at Liam and see he is scratching his neck "Stop scratching or I will have to put the socks back on your hands" Liam pulls his hands away from his neck and looks down.
We go into the kitchen. Zayn spots us and says "Li you are a bit spotty aren't you" Liam looks down and nods. I say "He is a bit sad because his spots are itchy but he isn't allowed to scratch because he could get scars" I go over to the freezer and get an ice lolly out and I hand it to Liam. He opens it and he puts the ice lolly in his lips and he sighs in relief. I say to Zayn "He has them in his mouth" Zayn nods.
When Liam finishes his ice lolly me and Liam go back upstairs. When we are in our room I say to Liam "Could I see your chest and back?" Liam nods and takes off his top. His chest is covered in the little red spots I say to Liam "Can you turn around please?" He nods and turns around. His back is if possible worse than his front. "You can turn around now if you want." Liam turns around and I pull him into a hug Liam says quietly "I don't want you to get sick" I respond "I've already had the chickenpox so don't worry. It's you I'm worried about"
About 10 minutes later still Niall's pov
Louis walks in and says "Wow when you said he was covered you really meant he was covered" I nod and say "He has even got some in his mouth bless him. I feel bad he is so sick" Louis nods and says "Here is the things you wanted. Lou came with me and brought a few extra bits because she felt bad that Lux made Liam sick" I nod and say "Could you keep an eye on Liam. He is half asleep. I'll go and run the oatmeal bath." Louis nods and I go into the bathroom. I look at the back of the package and read how to make up the oatmeal bath. I quickly make the oatmeal bath up and I go back to our bedroom and say "Li, let's get you to the bath. Thanks for keeping an eye on him for me" Louis smiles and says "Your welcome." Louis leaves the room and I say "Come on Li" I gently take Liam into the bathroom and say "Come on babe let's get you into the bath." I help Liam to take off his socks and trousers "Oh babe your legs are covered too" he nods and takes off his boxers. I say "Get in the bath then babe" he nods and gets in the bath.
I make him soak in the bath for 15 minutes and I help him out. I hand him a towel and say to him "Pat yourself dry. Don't rub" Liam nods and starts to pat himself dry. I unplug the drain and I rinse out the bath. Once I finished I turn around and see Liam has only got his boxers on. I say to him gently "Do you want some calamine lotion on?" Liam responds "Will it help the itching?" I nod and Liam says "I want some on them" I nod and gently apply some calamine lotion on Liam's spots. I say to Liam "Let's go and put some loose clothes on you" Liam nods.
We go into our room and I go over to the wardrobe and get Liam out some loose fitting joggers and tee shirt. I take them over to Liam and he puts them on. He says "Can I have a jumper?" I nod and grab out one of my jumpers and I hand it to Liam. He puts it on and says "Nialler can I have a cuddle?" I nod and get into bed next to him. He cuddles into my side. I hold him protectively and I say to him "Go to sleep babe. I'll be here when you wake up." Liam nods and he closes his eyes, slowly falling asleep.
Once he is asleep I grab the bag that Louis brought in earlier that I took the oatmeal bath and calamine lotion out of. I look through the bag and see that Lou has brought Liam a stuffed bear. I smile and place it by Liam's head. I grab out some more oatmeal bath I put that on my bedside table. I put my hand in the bag again and I grab out a six pack of bottles of water I smile and put them down on the bedside table as well. Ready for when we need them. I hold Liam protectively again and he cuddles further into me and smiles.
No one's pov
Liam's spots scabbed over after 10 days. He was in agony and really uncomfortable. Luckily once his spots scabbed over he felt much better and once they completely healed you couldn't tell he had them. All of the boys are happy that Liam feels better especially Niall.
