You Were My Best Finding In An Adventure. [Hilda Fanfiction AU]

[4 part 3]

Frida had gotten Hilda to remove her shirt, the adventurer having a sports bra on. "Feels better.." Hilda said quietly. "Much better.."

The brunette dipped the towel back in the water, lightly pressing the towel against Hilda's back. "Hm.." Hilda relaxed.

Frida gently pressed around with the damp towel, making sure to cool down the towel to freshen Hilda up. "Nice hm?"

Hilda nodded slowly, "Very.."

Frida got up, removing the hairtie on her wrist, tying Hilda's hair up. She moved it to the side, pressing the towel against Hilda's neck. "How are you feeling Hilda?"

"Much better..So much better.." Hilda hummed. "Thank you Frida.."

"No problem, do you want more soup?"

Hilda nodded slowly, "Please.."

Frida handed her the towel, getting up, taking the bowl, "Chest and neck, okay?"

Hilda wrung out the water, dipping a part of it in the water, pressing it up against her neck. "Okay.."

"Finally got her to go to sleep.." Frida sighed heavily, closing the door. "I have to get going."

Alfur kicked his card in to the pile, humming, "Do you have a.." Alfur paused. "Six diamonds, red."

Raven squawked, handing Alfur his card, "Turnip, your turn." Raven said.

Tontu examined his cards, "Joker black."

Frida sighed, walking to the door, Twig trotting over from the couch. He let out a questioning bark, tilting his head to the side. "Take care of Hilda for me yeah?"

His ears perked up, the deer fox looking towards the room. He let out a whimper, trotting over, scratching at the door. Frida walked over, pressing her ear against the door, "F...da.."

Frida opened the door, Twig slipping in, rushing to the bed. "Hilda?"

"Fr...da.."

The witch went over, "I just got you to sleep, now you're awake?"

"Cuddle.."

"You're ill."

"Cuddle..Please.."

"Hilda, I have to go home. I need to start on dinner."

Hilda coughed, curling up, "Be safe on your way.."

Frida leaned down, kissing her cheek, "Feel better Hilda, call my home if you need anything."

Hilda nodded slowly, Twig sliding under her arm, nuzzling her cheek, barking softly. "So soft.."

Frida ruffled Hilda's hair, turning and leaving, closing the door. She walked to the front door, gathering her things and opening the door, "Alfur, if she needs something, make sure she gets it. If she doesn't, you're squashed. Okay?"

He nodded, waving Frida off, "Yes yes, I have everything under control. Boys, I'm all in."

^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^

Frida took a bite of her carrot as she walked out of her room, "Dad, the phone!" Frida called out, going to the kitchen.

"Bathroom!" He called back.

Frida sighed, glancing at the caller number, picking up the phone, "Hilda-"

"It's Johanna, hello Frida! So, I don't reckon you'd be willing to get sick to help calm Hilda, would you?"

Frida perked up, "Don't underestimate what I'd do for Hilda ma'am, but she needs rest, not a cuddle buddy."

Johanna yelped, a thud following it, "Hilda- Go back to bed, I'll bring you a sleeping pill."

"But Alfur already gave me one..An hour ago..! I miss Frida.." Hilda coughed. "So hot.."

"Hilda--" The phone was dropped, their voices becoming muffled. "Hilda are you okay--?"

"Heada...H..rts.."

"AH FRIDA-"

Her home phone was hung up on, the brunette having asked her nisse for help. "Hilda, are you okay?" Frida asked, moving her hair back.

"Mm.." Hilda gripped her shirt. "Too hot..I'm so hot.."

"Heaters on, right?" Frida asked.

Johanna nodded. "When I came in I turned it on."

"Hilda, take off your shirt, I'll help you cool down okay?"

The bluenette nodded hesitantly, currently not in the right headspace. Frida rushed out the room, Johanna helping Hilda take off her shirt. "You okay dear?"

"Too hot..So sweaty.." Hilda coughed.

"Would you like tea?" Johanna asked.

Hilda winced, "That's..Too hot.."

Frida came back in, dipping the towel in the cool water, pressing it up against Hilda's chest. "Better?"

"Y..h.." Hilda nodded slowly.

Frida moved the towel around gently, Hilda relaxing as the towel was fresh, and felt so very nice. "Johanna, could you please get that pill in some room temperature water?"

Johanna nodded, getting up, going over to the kitchen. Hilda crossed her legs, sitting Frida down in her lap, resting her head on the brunette's shoulder. "Back?"

"Yes pl..se.."

Frida dipped the towel in water again, rubbing Hilda's back with it. "You need to take a shower Hilda."

"Can't...Stand.."

"You've already tried?"

Hilda nodded. "Get..Head..ache.."

Frida ohed, dipping the towel in the water again, letting it drip down Hilda's back before patting her dry. Hilda yawned, trembling a bit before she relaxed. Johanna came back in, handing Hilda cup of water, "Johanna, odd question, but can Hilda and I take a bath together?"

^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^°•^

"Close your eyes.." Frida mumbled, picking up the small bowl.

Hilda leaned her head back, Frida slowly pouring the water over her, running her hand through Hilda's hair, scrubbing out the shampoo. "The water feels nice.." Hilda mumbled.

Frida grabbed the conditioner, pouring some in her palms, rubbing it together and running both her hands through Hilda's hair. "Do you usually leave it in or rinse out after?"

"Brush..Then..Rinse.."

Frida nodded, "Water still warm?"

"Yeah..Still feels nice.."

Frida grabbed the brush outside of the tub, combing it through Hilda's hair. "Not tugging am I?"

"Mm-mm.." Hilda shook her head slowly, coughing.

Frida ran the water, letting the soapy water drain out before filling the tub a bit again. She rinsed Hilda's hair, brushing it again to be safe, then drained the water. Frida went to the other bathroom to finish her own bath, Hilda having gotten out of the clothes she wore so Frida could help her bathe, and put on her PJ's.

When both were ready for bed, Frida got Hilda to sleep, then Tontu took her home as it was about two in the morning. Of course, Hilda couldn't sleep without Frida tonight since the brunette promised she'd be there when Hilda awoke.

Hilda didn't trust Frida, so she bugged Tontu til he took her over to her house, then Hilda slipped in to bed with Frida. "Ugh..Hilda..?" Frida mumbled.

The bluenette snuggled up to Frida, wrapping her arm around the witch's waist. "..G'night.."

Frida sighed quietly, nuzzling in to Hilda's chest, "Such a clingy familiar.. Night Hilda.."

As their adventure continues.
