Cold Hearted

Sick

Elena POV

Slowly I began to allow my eyes to open, but I had been thinking for a while seeing as I feel a little... not good to say the least.

I sniffled a bit and slowly let my eyes open, feeling... rather tired despite having a full night of sleep. The more I was conscious... the worse I realized I was feeling! I then realized how cold I was, like I was way too cold even for me! My body feels so cold I was shaking a bit, so naturally, I turned over to face Harry who had been holding me all night and shakily tried to get as close to him and all his reliable warmth as I could.

I don't really get sick often, normally a few outside factors cause my illness regardless. Right about now the weather is taking a pretty dramatic turn as spring is rolling in rather quickly this year, so that would explain it for sure. And even when I do get sick, it's all backwards compared to others! Regardless of the reason, I simply huddled up to Harry as much as I possibly could, sticking my face into the crook of his neck and if I knew it wouldn't freak him out, I would love to crawl into his shirt and simply exist in there I'm so cold!

Eventually, I put a leg over his and slowly got to the point where I was right against him, but the shivers didn't cease. Harry hummed a bit in his sleepy and snugged his arm around me to keep me held close, but nothing was doing it, not to mention my head feeling so hot just made me feel more than a little ill. I groaned and rubbed my rather tired eyes before moving around some in an attempt to find a comfortable place, but I simply couldn't do it. I moved around so much Harry began to stir just as I couldn't help but whimper a bit at how awful I began to realize I was feeling the longer I was awake.

I think the whimper was what made Harry shoot awake a bit to my surprise, his eyes fluttered open and immediately seemed to go to scanning me before even saying a word,

"Ellie? Ye alright love? I heard a sound of distress"

He spoke in his cute little deep and kinda raspy sounding sleepy voice as he slowly sat up a bit to look over me as my body began to intensely shiver, I quickly clung onto the sheets and tried to cover myself in them some more to make up for the heat loss, but my body is still trying to be too cold! My teeth chattered a bit as I looked up at Harry who looked absolutely wide awake now that he saw that I was shivering,

"I-I'm k-kinda o-okay"

I said with a trembling voice as the shivering made my voice shaky. Harry slipped his hand onto my upper arm from on top of the blanket and looked with great concern,

"Yer cold? Wait..... why are ya cold?"

Harry said with a suddenly rather serious tone, I knew I had to respond rather quickly since he looks so worried so I gave him a little smile which seemed to ease him already,

"I-I don't e-exactly feel w-well.... I-I feel h-hot and c-cold at t-the same t-time"

Harry furrowed his brow a bit and gently tugged me over to lay on my back, he then swept my hair out of my face before pressing the back of his hand to my forehead, then he moved down and pressed it to one of my cheeks before looking a bit more concerned and moved his hand to my arm again,

"Yer right about that one, yer freezing cold and yet yer cheeks are all flushed. Sweating but shivering at the same time as well, do ya feel any nausea, dizziness, faintness, or anything else odd?"

I simply shook my head a bit before attempting to speak again,

"C-Cold... h-hot... c-can't stop s-shaking... t-tired... I-I think I-I'm coming d-down with s-something"

Harry took a deep sigh and slowly shook his head before glancing over to the clock. He seemed to think for a moment before slowly getting out of bed, but not before he turned back to me and covered me in as many blankets already on the bed he could,
