The Pack and Sidemen Oneshots

Vikklan- 5+1 Part 1

5 times Lachlan saved Vikk and the one time Vikk saved Lachlan.

Vikk's P.O.V.

1.

Lachlan wasn't around a lot, mostly because he lived on the other side of the world, but we talked almost every day, so much in fact that I could picture him and his voice without even trying. I had been talking to him over Skype and my head kept nodding, I was up far too late and I was exhausted.

"Vikk?" Lachlan asked, just as my head nodded again. I blinked and looked up, catching his eyes on the other side of the screen. "You alright."

"Ye-" I yawned. "Yeah. I'm just tired I think."

"Vikk..." He said, sounding very concerned about me. "How long have you been up?"

I glanced at the clock at almost balked at the time because holy shit it was 3am in the morning and I had been up since like 10 o'clock, not the night before, but almost a day and a half ago.

"10 o'clock?" I said, thinking. He glared at me, still concerned, on the other side of the camera.

"I'm assuming that's not 10 o'clock as in 5 hours ago?" I shook my head. "Vikk... you're going to end up hurting yourself if you keep this up, you need to sleep."

I shook my head and opened my mouth to complain because I had stuff to do.

"But I've got work to do-" Lachlan cut me off.

"Vikk you need to sleep, okay. I'll stay in the call with you but that's only if you stop this call and I'll call you on your phone. Then you get into bed and try to sleep, alright?" I really considered arguing against it but it was only then that I realised how tired I was.

I was physically exhausted, my hands were shaking and any work I would try to do would be terrible.

"...fine." I sighed and quickly hung up the call, not actually wanting to be away from him for very long. He picked up the call within a second and I slid into bed, pulling the covers up over my shoulders and huddling down, listening to his voice.

"Are you ready to go to sleep?" I nodded and my eyes flickered closed, making me realise exactly how exhausted I was. Lachlan simply continued to talk and I pretty quickly drifted off to the sound of his voice because it was just so comforting, and I found it very easy to sleep.

"Love you Vikk." I heard him whisper, just as I fell asleep. I smiled to myself.

He was so sweet.

I coughed into my elbow, my throat raspy and I just generally felt like shit. I knew I was getting sick, it honestly sucked because I knew I had to work and record and edit, but I couldn't because I shouldn't like a drowning rat. Or a frog.

Lachlan was downstairs, he was staying with myself and the Sidemen for a few weeks for an event and although he had been spending a lot of time with me he didn't notice that I was getting sick. In fact, no one knew I was getting sick, not even Josh who was normally the most observant.

At first I thought it might be just a cold but after a couple of hours I began feeling really, really sick. I was nauseous and when I looked in the mirror I could tell I was as pale as a sheet of paper and after I tried to get up from my desk I almost fainted, all of the blood rushing to my head.

I decided that it would just be the best move for me to go back to sleep but just as Lachlan poked his head around the door the nausea welled up inside me and I stumbled into the bathroom. I gagged and was sick into the toilet, whimpering painfully.

Lachlan stood behind me and gently rubbed my back, whispering comforting words into my ear and once I stopped being sick he bundled me up into his arms and carried me back to my bed.

"You're alright sweetheart, you're alright." I was crying, I hated being sick and so I simply cuddled myself into his chest and he held me tight. My head was resting in his chest and his arms were tight around me, comforting me by holding me tight. "Hey you're alright Vikky."

It was nice being coddled for a little while and I realised that being sick made me feel better, at least for a little while. Lachlan held me tight, no longer saying anything.

"Are you feeling a little better?" He asked after about half an hour. I shook my head. Since being sick I had had a little bit of respite but now the nausea was coming back and I was feeling sick all over again.

"No." I mumbled. "Feel like shit."

"Alright." He whispered back, shifting so I was lying on top of him and snuggled up into his neck. "Just sleep then. It's be okay in the morning."

3.

I was angry, on the verge of tears too. I was getting so frustrated because I couldn't think of any video to record and no one else was available to record with me. Everyone was either asleep or busy or away doing something so I was alone with no ideas and no one to record with.

Lachlan was still at the Sidemen house and he was only a couple of days from going home. I was feeling much better after being sick only a couple of weeks before although Lachlan had spent extra time with me, looking after me and making sure I was sleeping.

I kicked at my desk just as Lachlan entered the room, looking a little surprised at my attitude. He also seemed mildly concerned and came and stood beside me, placing a gentle hand on my shoulder and pulling me close.

"You alright?" He asked, ruffling my head.

"Mm. I need to record but I don't have any ideas and no ones around for record, I'm just fed up." He smiled and then tucked me into his side, calm and with a tiny grin gracing his face.

"Come on, I'll record with you. Do a Fortnite challenge, the one with the one mouse and keyboard with the two of us. I know you've done it before but if you're out of ideas you know it'll do well." I nodded, agreeing to his idea and after a second I took his hand and led him over to my computer, ready to record.

-------------------------------------------------

It took a little longer than I thought to record but after an hour or so of laughter I had a video to edit and to put up on the channel the following day. I leaned against Lachlan's shoulder and he smiled, tucking me into his side comfortingly.

"Is that better?" I nodded, happy that I had something for the next day.

"Yeah." I mumbled. "Thanks."

"You ready for tomorrow now?" I nodded again and smiled shyly.

"Thanks for helping out Lachy." I said, completely grateful.

"It's quite alright Vikk." He kissed the side of my head. "I'm glad to help out."
