For this one I had a little help from a friend of mine. So I still hope you will like it. 😊

(Y/n)'s POV

It's been nearly three months. Three months had passed since Lee had forced me into the infirmary and sworn to protect me. Those three months had been anything at all but pleasant. Sickness, fevers, chills, fainting and blackouts were only a few of the things that happened to me as my comrades tried to find information from the rogue ninja that had done this to me. It took over a month to gather the needed information, and even longer to come up with a cure. It was only a few weeks ago that Lady Tsunade had finally given me my first dose of medicine. Since then, my strength had been returning a little bit with each passing day. As for my wound, nothing but a tiny scar remained where the large, black cut had once been on my stomach.

Although I was mostly healed and no longer in any real danger, Lee refused to leave my side. It was frustrating at times having him worry and fuss over me so much, but I knew he meant well. He even gone so far as to sleep on my couch, just in case anything happened, while I was at home recovering. Nothing ever did, but it was comforting to know that he was close by whenever I needed him. At this point, however, having him constantly beside me was becoming hard to handle. I never liked being worried over, so having Lee try to do everything for me, was more annoying than it was helpful.

And today , was no exception either.

-"Lee, I am perfectly capable of pouring myself a glass of juice. Would you give that back already? You're being ridiculous." I told him annoyed as he was holding a carton of my favorite juice over his head, where I couldn't reach it.

-"I am sorry, but I can not do that. To be safe, I believe it is best that I do it. This carton is still very full, and very heavy as well." he answered as he took a glass from the cabinet, poured the juice into it and then handed it to me.
-"You are still recovering and I have made a promise to take care of you."

-"I am never going to get my strength back if you keep doing everything for me! I'm going to end up all atrophied and then I won't be able to care for myself at all." I told him as I placed the glass he hand given me on the counter.
-"If that happens, you will have no choice but to take care of me. I don't think either of us want that."

-"That is fine with me. I will gladly do so, even if that means taking care of you for the rest of my life. It is my mission to see that you are healthy and taken care of." he said as he returned the juice to the fridge

-"No, it's not. It's not fine at all. What kind of ninja am I if I can't even pour a glass of juice for myself? It's pathetic and I can't stand being pathetic." I told him annoyed as I sat down on a chair.

Lee didn't quite understand why I were so upset. He just gently took my hand in his, pulling me from my seat and into his chest. Concerned for me, he tightly wrapped his arms around me, hugging me with as much strength as he dared.

-"You are not pathetic. You are one of the strongest ninja I know." he said as he carefully let go of me afraid that his tight hug might hurt me.
-"You should never talk poorly about yourself like that. If you do, you might start believing it."

-"Right. I know."

I knew that he was only trying to help me. So staying angry with Lee was impossible. Even so, I had to get my point across before it was too late. Hoping I could do so without sounding hurtful, I swallowed hard and did my best to explain how I felt.
