"Hey, you," Zeke said softly when Greg opened the door, leaning on the door frame and smiling. "I thought you'd still be up. I figured I'd take you out for breakfast if you're up for it -- and if you're not, I had the nifty idea of just taking you to bed."

"Both of them sound good to me," Greg told him with a smile, stepping back so he could enter the apartment and closing the door behind him. "But I've already had breakfast. I should have called you and told you. The team went out after work this morning."

"Oh." Zeke didn't want to sound or look disappointed, but he couldn't help it. He knew that Greg was close to the people he worked with; he'd heard his boyfriend talk about them enough, and he almost felt that he knew Greg's colleagues without having met them.

"I haven't been feeling all that great," Greg admitted, sniffling and reaching for a box of tissues on the coffee table. "I might be coming down with a cold. Everybody at work seems to have one, so I'm pretty sure I've caught whatever they've got."

"Well, that's just one of the perks of dating a doctor," Zeke told him with a smile, stepping close to Greg and wrapping his arms around the other man's waist to pull him close. "I can always prescribe some cold medicine -- or feed you chicken soup."

"I didn't think chicken soup was something a doctor would prescribe," Greg said softly, his soft mouth curving into a smile. "But if that's your cure for a cold, then I'll take it. Things like that are just an added bonus to dating a sexy doctor."

"Oh, so I'm a sexy doctor, huh?" Zeke asked, trailing his lips down Greg's throat. "I'll see what I can do about that chicken soup -- and if you've got a cold, then you need to be in bed. Preferably with me," he whispered into Greg's ear.

"But then you'll end up with a cold too," Greg protested, closing his eyes and tilting his head back. "But hey, if you want to risk it, then I'm not going to stop you. I've been thinking about you the whole time I was at work. Couldn't get you off my mind."

"I can't see that as a bad thing," Zeke said softly, moving back a step and taking Greg's hand in his. "Come on, let's get you into bed. If you really do have a cold, I want to take care of you. Just keep looking at it as an added bonus to dating a doctor."

"I will," Greg said with a laugh, letting his boyfriend lead him down the hallway towards his bedroom. Zeke was sure that the two of them wouldn't get much rest once he got Greg into bed, but somehow, that really didn't seem to matter.
