"take off your pants and lay down, you're not leaving."
"darling, i can't miss the show."
"axl misses shows all the time, i'm sure you're fine." you say, lips forced into a tight smile.
izzy was fine last night, but somewhere between the time he fell asleep and the time he woke up, he caught a stomach bug and had been throwing his guts up in the toliet and moaning around in the bed all morning, clearly showing signs of being sick. yet, he refuses to admit it.
"it's probably just food poisoning."
Izzy stands up and instantly sits back down, his weight being way too much for him to. carry at the moment.
"see!? you can't even stand up !what makes you think you can stand up, hold a guitar, and play that guitar for hours tonight?"
"the adrenaline will get me through the night. (y/n), really, I'm fine."
you let out a long sigh. he really wasn't fine. his temperature was 100°, everything he ate or drank was immediately thrown back up, he could barely stand and when he did, he tumbled over in pain after mere seconds. but he was stubborn. he'd never admit it.
"fine. go then. play your heart out. puke your guts out. i don't care. sorry for being a great girlfriend and trying to take care of my sick boyfriend . I'll just sit here, alone, all night, waiting for you to return back."
izzy stares at you. your eyes big and lips pushed out. the look that izzy could never say no to. the look that always gets you your way.
this time it is izzy's turn to sigh, he unbuckles his belt, takes off his jeans, and lays in nothing but his t-shirt, underwear, and socks.
"take care of me baby."
and that's what you do.
the evening is spent cuddling izzy all night, rubbing his back as he throws up, giving him blankets when he is freezing, yanking them off when he's hot, running a hot bath for him and eventually joining him in it because he is too weak to bathe himself- although he did protest as he didn't want to get you sick, in which you told him he wouldn't. once the two of you were out, you ordered some soup of his choice, and eventually he fell asleep in your arms.
the next day he woke up, feeling fine.
you really had nursed him back to health.
"thank you, doctor (y/n). i feel a lot better now. i give you a review of 10/10, would come back again."
"well i am glad that you found my services so helpful. i definitely will be helping you again, you were a great patient sir stradlin."
izzy laughs at the nickname and pulls you into his side, nuzzling his nose into the side of your face and kissing your temple.
