John Dutton x female reader
- Request from @neganwhore on Tumblr. John hates Hospitals and gets sick so the reader takes care of him.

Swinging my legs back and forth on the porch swing I stare at the sunrise going across this famous ranch. I hear boots banging as some heads up the stairs, grumbling. "I ani't sick, Jamie now get back to work!" I recognize the voice as my boyfriend. John Dutton. He rounds the stone bricked corner dropping his grumpy face when he sees me. "Y/n...I've been wanting to be around you all morning." I smile as he slumps down on the swing beside me, tilting his old black dusty cowboy hat up so he can see my face that matched his smiling one.

He suddenly sneezes into his jacket sleeve, wiping his nose seconds before I ask tilting my head to the side. "John, did you get a cold from dealing with another infected cattle again?" He shakes his head shifting his hat but I grab it setting it on my head like I've seen him do. "I'm not sick, darling!" He huffs crossing his arms over his chest, but sneezes a couple more times.

Getting to my feet I bend down on my knees in front of him, cupping his face in my hands. "If you admit you're sick I can take care of you, you know that right?" But he doesn't budge standing his ground as a stubborn old man. "I'm - not - sick." He sneezes multiple times groaning in annoyance. "I don't want to go to the hospital, Y/n. Jamie keeps trying to convince me, but I ain't lisening!"

"Forget about Jamie. I'll take care of you, no Hospitals." John wipes his red nose with his sleeve sniffing weakly. "You promise?" Pushing myself to my feet I intertwine my hands with his, pulling him up and into the house. "I haven't lied to you yet, Mr. Dutton."

We walked to his room and he lays down in his bed. Once he's settled I quickly moved through the house outside to the Bunkhouse seeing Rip mounting his horse, getting ready to hurd the cattle. "What are you doing out here, miss L/n. And wearing John's hat?" Tipping his hat up I simply order in a nice tone to his lead ranch hand. "He's sick and not feeling well. So Rip, I need you to lead the cattle hurd with the cowboys, got it." Rip tips his hat down to me, simply following like I'm his boss. "I'm on it, ma'am." With that I watch the cowboys ride off into the sunrise covered fields, before entering the kitchen quickly making some chicken noodle.

Gently kicking open his bedroom door I see his smile brightened when I hand him the warm bowl of food. "Y/n. This is really good." He said finishing the last bite as I sit it on the nightstand starting to exit the room, knowing he'd probably want someone to talk to Beth about the land's deed. But he clears his throat making me spin on my feet, throwing my loose hair over my shoulder and nearly making the hat fall off my head. "Don't leave, please."

The tone of his voice sounded like a beggar. Which is something he rarely did, he always did stuff on his own without help from others. I removed my boots climbing under the covers with him as he lays his head on my lap. He intertwines my right hand with his, kissing my knuckle softly. "Thank you, honey. I don't want to be alone right now."

"You're welcome, John." I smile removing his hat laying it ontop of the covers. "But you needn't worry..."

He turns his head to see me smiling down at him as I run my freehand through his hair. "I'm not going anywhere, cowboy." John buries his face in my shirt closing his eyes and finally getting some sleep.
