Warning: Howard being handsome
Résumé: Howard is sick and y/n comes to help him

-40's-

You were currently in your and Peggy's flat when the phone ring. "Hello?" You heard a cough. "Hey beautiful, I can't come today, I have...other plans. Tell Peg that next week will be good for our meeting."

"Howard Anthony Stark." You said in a serious tone. "Oh god, what did I do wrong?" He asked through the phone.

"Are you trying to hide the fact that you're sick?" You said as you put on your shoes. "Jeez, I wish those things were wireless." You muttered under your breath.

"What? No I'm not sick what are you talking about?" Replied Howard, clearly stiffening a cough. You sighed. "Yeah sure." You said before hanging up.

You quickly grabbed your purse and left. After hailing a cab, you rushed to Howard's mansion. You thanked the driver and hurried to his door.

You knocked three times and a few moments later, a sick-looking Howard showed up. "Y/n? What are you doin' here?" He asked surprised.

"I'm here to help you. Now be a good boy and go lay down on your bed." You instructed as you pushed him inside of the house.

The brunette chuckled. "Okay okay! I can walk you know?" Retorted Howard. Once you were in his room, he sat on it. "Don't move, I'll be right back."

Howard nodded and you came back with a bowl in hand. He coughed and you sadly smiled. "Drink this, you'll feel a bit better."

"I already feel better now that you're here." He replied softly. Your cheeks turned into a crimson colour. "Shut up and drink before it gets cold."

Howard took a sip of the soup. The contact of the hot liquid with his taste buds made his eyes widen.

"What? Does it taste bad?" You asked worriedly. He chucked. "No, it's amazing! I just burnt myself."

You rolled your eyes and chuckled. "Give me the spoon." You said as you took it from his hand.

"Darling I can do it, I'm not a child." Retorted your friend. "Let me take care of you..."

"Alright... I can't say no to your pretty face." Said the brunette man.

You blew on the soup and approached the spoon towards his mouth, as you locked eyes with his.

When he finished, Howard yawned. "You should sleep." You said with a soft smile. The man nodded.

"Goodnight Howard..." You whispered as you kissed his forehead.

You got up but a hand gripped your wrist. "Stay with me..." Said he with a faint voice. Your lips curled up into a smile.

You laid down next to him and he buried his head in the crook of your neck. You wrapped your arms around him and started to stroke his hair.

Howard hummed in content making you grin. "Thank you y/n." Said he. "No problem, it is my duty to help my friends."

"Don't you want to be more than that?" Retorted Howard. "Maybe I do..." You replied.

"Ugh... I wish I could kiss you right now." Muttered Howard. "Do it then." You retorted. "But I'll get you sick!" You chuckled. "I don't care, let's be ill together."

Let's just say you woke up coughing...

The end

I hope you liked it! I hope you have an incredibly good day!
