On the morning of April 10th, Katherine woke feeling like she was about to pass out. Her throat ached, her nose was stuffy and her ears were ringing. She buried her head back into her pillows and sighed in annoyance before lifting herself out of bed.

Wrapping a warm robe around her body, she walked out of her apartment and across the hall. Knocking on the door, Katherine tapped her foot patiently and waited until finally, Charles opened the door with a confused look in his eyes.

Katherine walked passed him and immediately launched herself on his couch, her hair flying everywhere. Meanwhile, Charles stood near his door, a dumbfounded look in his eyes before he finally closed the door and headed over to the couch, sitting next to Katherine.

"Good morning?" he asked, his hand moving to remove the hair that was covering her eyes.

"I think I'm sick" Katherine mumbled into his pillow.

"Well what do you feel?"

"Sick." she answered simply, not missing the way Charles rolled his eyes at her.

Before she could stop him, his hand made its way to her forehead as he began trying to figure out wether or not she had a fever. Katherine looked up at his hand, letting him leave it there for a while before she grew impatient and brushed it off.

"You feel feverish" Charles told her.

"Great" Katherine complained "how am I supposed to go to practice now?"

"You won't." Charles ordered, already lifting her up from his couch by her arms and pulling her into her own apartment.

"But-"

"No buts" he interrupted her "they will just have to practice without you"

"I'm the lead Charles, it's kind of important that I'm there"

"Tough" he shrugged, sitting her down on her couch and pulling a blanket on top of her "they'll just have to manage"

"You don't have to take care of me you know" Katherine mumbled, already annoyed that she would have to miss work because of a cold.

"Oh I'm not staying, I have to be at a work thing in fifty minutes" Charles said, leaning down a pressing a kiss to her forehead before he started heading out the door, but not before turning back to her one last time "call your boss or whatever and tell him you're sick, if you need anything just text me"
