Y/N's POV ~

Mother. Fucker.

I woke up gagging, and sprinted into the bathroom, where I soon began to puke up my guts. I tried to stay quiet so Draco could sleep well, but I heard the bed creak immediately after I started coughing into the toilet bowl. My boyfriend ran into the bathroom to find me, a total disaster, leaning over the toilet. He instinctively gathered my y/h/c hair into his pale palm gently, making sure not to pull too hard.

"It's okay love, shhh...." He whispered, rubbing my back with his free hand. I leaned back into him, groaning in agony. His face twisted in concern when he pressed the back of his hand to my head. "You have a fever."

"Dray, go back to bed, I'll get you sick too...." I mumbled weakly. He payed my comment no mind, sat me down on the closed toilet lid, and got to work running a bath.

"Here," he mumbled, helping me strip my sweat soaked pajamas off, his fingers working carefully at the fabric. He tossed them in the laundry hamper, and tied my hair in a low bun to keep it from getting wet. I soaked in silence in the tub for a few moments, while Draco wet a rag. He hummed while wiping my face and neck tenderly, his eyes groggy from the sudden awakening moments ago.

"Really Draco, you can go back to bed, I'll be alr-"

"No. I- I want to stay here with you. I want to...to take care of you." Draco had a hard time voicing his feelings and wants sometimes, due to how his father raised him, so hearing this from him was a really big deal.

"Okay love-" I started coughing up a storm again, and Draco reached for a glass of water he already set on the counter.

"There....better?" He asks, holding the cup to my lips to let me drink. I nod in response. He set the water back on the counter, and I slumped into the tub, dozing off to sleep.

My eyes fluttered back to consciousness, and I realized I'm in fresh pajamas, tucked in Draco's bed. I checked outside, and it was the middle of the afternoon.

Draco must be at his classes....might as well try to get up and have some breakfast.

In the middle of putting on my shirt while simultaneously sneezing my head off, the door creaked open, and there was Draco, with a plate of eggs, waffles, and bacon, and small sack.

"You're supposed to be in class idiot...." I said while slumping back into the sheets.

"You really think I'd rather do Potions right now than take care of my sick girlfriend? Nice one Y/L/N." He chuckled, setting my breakfast into my lap, and turning his back to me to empty the small drawstring bag onto the desk.

"Hey, what's that?" I asked between bites of eggs.

"I went to Madame Pomfrey, she said there's a flu going around, so she told me to give these to you." He said nonchalantly. He popped open a glass bottle of pills, shook 2 into his hand, and extended his hand to me. His eyes wandered over to the windows, and he sprang to open them, to get fresh air flowing.

"Dray," I said while swallowing the two orange colored pills, "You really can go to your classes, I promise I'll be okay."

"Stop being such a ninny and let me take care of you, dumbass." He chuckled, and tucked the blankets in neatly around me, while maintaining painstaking eye contact.

"Malfoy, if you kiss me while I'm sick, I'll-"

"You'll what? Hm?"

"Fuck you."

"You love it, babe."

We settled in together, cuddled close, and Draco let me pick any movie I want, so I naturally go with Alice in Wonderland. Pale fingers traced simple shapes across my skin. The room is peaceful and still, the only sounds being the television, and Draco's heart drumming against my ear.
