_____________________*____________________

Being declared as the US chess champion after winning for three consecutive times, Benny was happy about the fantastic day he had. On the way back to his apartment in New York, he grabbed an expensive bottle of champagne to celebrate the day with his girlfriend who was probably waiting home for him.

The blonde had a constant smile on his face which was very contrasting from the usual frown he had.

He whistled a sweet melody as he descended down the stairs and opened the door with his pair of keys.

'Darling, I've had a lovely day! Let's drink and have sex yeah?' he called.

But instead of y/n running into his arms and kissing him as she usually did, he heard her faint sniffles from the bedroom and followed.

'Y/n?' he quietly mumbled, pushing the door open.

And there she laid on the bed, looking so miserably weak, barely able to sit up straight. Her eyes looked watery, her hair disheveled and the tip of her nose bright red from rubbing it frequently with tissues and napkins.

'Benny...' said the girl, struggling to sit up but didn't fail to smile.

'You've got cold.' said Benny.

He placed the champagne bottle on the nightstand and sat beside her.

'And you've got a real nice temperature.' he said after placing his hand on her burning, hot forehead.

'I missed you.' said y/n.

'Why didn't you call me home? I was with my friends anyways...' Benny asked.

'You had a nice day and I didn't want to ruin it...' she said, playing with her fingers.

'No, no, no, I love you and I want to be here when you need me. So don't you ever think that you'd ruin my day, yeah?' Benny said, caressing her head then placing a kiss on her cheek.

As much as she wanted to kiss him back, she didn't. Instead, she moved a little away from him.

'Please don't, I don't want you to catch cold.' she said.

'I'm not staying away just because you feel sick. Now how about you stay here while I make some chicken soup for you?' he asked.

Y/n felt so grateful in the moment that he saw her eyes brightening up and she smiled, nodding her head cutely.

'My sweet lady.' said Benny.

He tucked her in bed and made sure she was warm enough before taking off his trench coat and tossing it on a chair in the living room.

Then he prepared some steaming hot chicken soup for her and took it for her in the bedroom.

'Here you go, love.' he said, offering her the delicacy he cooked.

'I'm so lucky to have you as my boyfriend.' she said.

Y/n finished off the soup real quick, clearly showing Benny how hungry she had been all day. Then he gave her some tablets for common cold and that's when she started coughing violently.

'Oh dear, we need to take you the doc tomorrow.' said Benny.

'I don't want to go to the doctor.' y/n whined as she coughed again.

'That's the first thing we're gonna do in the morning, no excuses.' he said, kissing her forehead again.

He gently patted her back and y/n let out a small whimper.

'What's wrong love?' Benny asked.

'I've been coughing all day and my back hurts because of it.' she complained.

'Okay, take off your shirt and lay on your stomach, I'll give you a massage.' he smiled.

'No, you've already done so much and I'm satisfied. You don't have to do this.' y/n denied.

'Do you even listen when I'm sick? You don't even get a good sleep when I'm coughing, this is the least I could do. So shut up and lay down my love.' Benny insisted.

While he got the massage lotion, y/n stripped off her shirt and her bra, then laid comfortably on the bed with her hands covering her sides.

Benny put some lotion on her back and pressed her muscles lightly, making sure she relaxed at his touch.

His hands felt so soothing against her skin that y/n smiled and her eyes closed every time he ran his palms down her waist.

'Better love?' he asked.

'Yeah, much better.' y/n sniffled.

The blonde then massaged her shoulders and her spine, careful not to hurt her frail figure and by the time he was done, she was fast asleep.

In that moment he was content with himself for taking care of the person he valued the most in his life.

So he took out one of his warmer shirts from the closet and put it on her being careful not to wake her up but anyways she was too tired to even notice that Benny was putting a shirt on her.

After having a short meal, he got changed and laid beside her. The man pulled her closer to warm her up and then turned off the lights. All he knew was that he was going to wake up early, cancel all his chess meetings and take her to a doctor.

He recalled all the times when he used to be sick and she used to stay up all night, get medicines, cook and clean for him. So he knew what he had to do, look after y/n just the way she did because he truly cared.

And then with a light heart, Benny doze off to a deep slumber with y/n in his arms.
