Hal looked at him. "Dave I need to lay down.." he said softly.



Now this was scaring him. "Hal, are you sure it's nothing?" he asked, touching his face gently.



"I just need to lay down and see if my stomach settles down a little.." Hal replied.



"If you say so." Snake said, helping Hal out with this.



Hal covered himself up with the blanket. "I'm sorry..I'll make it up to you once I feel better ok..?"



Snake leaned and kissed Hal's forehead at that. "You don't have to."



"I want to.." Hal said smiling a little



"Well I'm not going to complain..." He said, leaning to kiss him again.



Hal kissed him back. "I know.." he said with a soft smile. "If the laptop beeps tell me.."



"Uh?" Snake wondered what that had been about.



"I'm scanning for possible hits on things we need to take care of.." Hal said. "It beeps you wake me up ok..Don't just leave.."



"Ah, I see." He said, kissing his forehead again. "I won't."



Hal nodded and soon was fast asleep, curled up under the covers.



Dave watched him sleep, touching his face or caressing his side stealthily every now and then.



Hal shifted a little and groaned in his sleep still feeling sick.



"This can't keep going this way... We need to see a doctor." He muttered in worry.



Hal woke up a couple of hours later and looked around for Snake. "D-Dave...?" he asked urgently



"Hmmm?"



"C-Can you help me up i think i'm going to get sick.." Hal replied



At this Dave reacted and did as told, pulling Hal up in a bit of a hurry. "We need to see a doctor." He said, not asked, this time.



Hal put his hand over his mouth and shook his head as Snake helped him to the bathroom



"Otacon..." He insisted firmly while watching him.



Hal knelt over the toilet and proceeded to get sick. He swallowed a little and panted. "N-No.."



"Not a question."



Hal looked up at him. His face was pale and he looked very lethargic. "Dave please..There's a s-snowstorm outside and there's no way I'm s-stepping out into that while I can b-barely move.." he stammered while he leaned back against the wall with a wet rag he grabbed off of the side of the tub. He wiped his mouth and swallowed a few times. "I-I just want to go and sit in bed till this goes a-away.." he said shakily standing up using the wall. "T-Take me back to bed.." he said before collapsing in Snake's arms.



By now Hal could have asked for his neck and a sacrificial dagger and Dave would have handed it to him no questions asked. Lifting him up and taking him to bed was nothing by comparison. Effectively he walked to said bed with Hal in his arms and worried sick.



Hal groaned and curled up once Snake got him into bed. He trembled a little and breathed slowly and shallowly.



"But you're sick, Hal." He said, touching his face and forehead in worry. This was worse than he thought and he knew they would need help. He couldn't lose him... not now, not like this.



"I-I know.." Hal whimpered. At that point he didn't care as long as his stomach felt better.



"Do you want me to hijack another doctor? They grow on trees, really." He said in a soothing tone as if he was offering to fetch a milk carton for him.



"I-I don't care..." Hal sobbed trembling. "I-I don't want to be sick.."



At this Snake sighed. "I don't know how to help you, Hal." he said, mainly scared for him.



Hal whimpered and hugged a pillow. "H-How's the weather...?" he asked. Hal clung to the pillow and swallowed as he waited for Snake to come back.



"It's letting up a little." Snake said as soon as he got back with the satisfaction that he got to tell Hal something he might want to hear.



"Drivable..?" Hal asked softly.



"Yeah, come on." he said, already on the way to help him up.



Hal slowly sat up and got out of bed with Snake's help.



At this Dave proceeded to slowly help Hal out the door.



Hal slowly walked with him and got in the Jeep.



As soon as Hal was in this jeep, Dave sat in the driver's seat and proceeded to move them to a hospital.



Hal whimpered and held his stomach as Snake drove him. Once they got there, one of the nurses took Hal into one of the rooms making Snake stay in the waiting room.
