-he hugs him tighter still, pulling him into his lap-
"Mm..."
He cuddles into him a little, the coughing dying down
-he continues stroking his hair and holding him.. hoping he'll stop coughing-
He stopped, trembling a little but ok otherwise
-he loosens his grip and looks down at him-
He looked up at him. Ell had always had rosy cheeks-he,'d gotten pale during the disease, losing that. But when he looked up at Keith...there was color in his cheeks
-he smiles, letting him go completely (was still close though)-
"...."
"..."
He smiles back at him. That sweet, loving smile...
"... better?"
"Um-yeah..."
