————————————

When Y/N received a call from C/N, her boyfriend, at 7am, she knew something was wrong: he was never up that early. She had just been out on a run, and had showered and made herself some coffee before sitting in the garden and doing homework while she watched the sunrise. It was normal for her to be up at that hour, but for C/N it meant something had happened. Which it had, for he was down with the flu and didn't know how to react considering his parents were on holiday.

He had really just been calling her for advice, but Y/N decided to go round and take care of him after hearing the sickness and exhaustion in his voice. She didn't care if she got sick as well.

So, she hurriedly shoved her homework in her backpack and cycled over to his house which thankfully wasn't too far from her own. Using the spare key, she unlocked the door and entered into the homely front hall of the place. Judging by the state of everything, it was clear a teenager had been left alone for a couple nights by themself. Before heading upstairs, she prepared a hot cup of tea, some meds, and a hot water bottle. It was difficult to carry upstairs all at once, but she managed.

"Sweetheart, what are you doing here?" he said quietly, forcing himself to sit up, "I don't want you to get sick."

"I told you I was coming over," she placed the tea on the bedside table and handed him the hot water bottle and meds.

"Yeah, and I told you not to-"

"Just shush and let me take care of you."

"But-"

"Isn't this what we're supposed to do for each other?"

He sighed, "I guess..."

"Exactly, now take the meds and drink the tea."

C/N nodded defeatedly, and began the tasks while Y/N finally took off her backpack, sat herself at his desk and continued her homework. He watched her silently as she worked, sipping on the hot drink she had lovingly created. Sometimes it amazed him that such an incredible person wanted him of all people; scrap that, it constantly amazed him.

When he finally placed the empty mug on the bedside table once more, Y/N looked up at the sound of the soft thud it created. He smiled at her, but couldn't suppress a shiver that crept up on him.

"Are you okay?" she quickly asked.

"Yeah- I'm- I'm f-fine- j-just c-c-cold-"

"Here," she stood up and grabbed a blanket from his cupboard, going over to tuck him underneath it as well as the duvet, "Use the hot water bottle."

Despite the many layers, he continued to shiver.

"I'll turn the heating on as well."

When she returned from the menial task, Y/N noticed how he had been patiently staring at the door as he waited for her. She also noticed how he continued to shiver.

"How are you still cold?"

He shrugged before mumbling, "Maybe it's because my heart isn't warmed up."

"Your heart?"

C/N nodded, "Cuddle me."

"What was that about not wanting me to get sick?" she said as she crawled on to the bed.

"I don't remember saying that."

"Convenient for you, sir."

"Just shut up and get in my arms, sweetheart."

"Are you really even cold?"

He chuckled, wrapping his arms tightly around her and burying his face in her neck, "I'm overheating if anything."

"Shit, I'll turn the heating off-"

"No, stay." He stopped her from moving. "I'll feel better in no time if you keep cuddling me."

"I'm supposed to care for you- properly."

"Mm."

Despite her protests, it wasn't long before she was asleep in his arms.

***

She woke up before him, and went downstairs to make them both coffee before heading back up to see her disappearance had caused him to wake again.

"Where did you go?" he said softly, his voice sounded hurt but she knew he was putting on an act.

"To make coffee." She handed him a cup and got back in beside him. C/N immediately pulled her close to his side again and relished in the warmth her body provided, even though he was dangerously overheating. "Honey, you really need to let yourself cool down before you drink that."

"I'll be fine."

She shook her head, "You're not fine, though, you're sick."

"So are you."

"What?"

"Haven't you checked your temperature?"

"No?"

"You're just as hot as I am- in both senses."

Grabbing the thermometer from the side, she checked and confirmed that she was indeed dangerously overheating. "For fuck's sake- this is what I get for trying to be a good girlfriend."

"Hey, I love you for it-" he found himself saying, his eyes widening as he realised that he had said the one thing neither of them had mentioned yet.

Y/N looked up at him with a small smile, "I love you too... but I think that love is really about to be put to the test considering we're now sick together."

"Mm, more cuddles?"

"We're both burning hot."

"I don't care, I just wanna cuddle you."

"You're gonna be the death of me."

"Love you too, sweetheart."
