Luci woke up as he rubbed his eyes, he nearly yelped out in pain when he tried to get up.
He decided to roll out of bed completely, and fall on the floor.
He didn't recognize the pain at first, but he finally ruled it out as his back.
He went to the bathroom but was alarmed when he heard someone throwing up.
His stomach dropped, as he checked his room.
Is wasn't Michael.
He went back to the bathroom and knocked lightly, his eyebrows furrowed in worry.
"Lena..? Or Calah..? Are you okay..?"
He asked softly, his voice dropping an octave to sound softer and more welcoming.

The door opened as he was met with a teary eyed Lena, she met Luci's eye as Luci had an immediate look of worry on his face.
"Lena, are you okay..?"
He asked very softly as he put his hand on her forehead.
Damn, she had a fever..
Without warning, he picked Lena up bridal style to make it more comfortable, and he walked to her room, placing her down.
"stay here, I'll get you some water. And you need some food and a 7up."
Luci said, as he went to the bathroom, grabbing his toothbrush and popping it in his mouth, toothpaste already on it as he heated up some soup for lena, grabbing a water as he brushed his teeth, trying his best to multitask.

Calah woke up with a yawn as she walked down, seeing Luci up.
"hey squishy."
She says smiling.
"oh, hiya! Uhh.. Lena's running a fever, keep an eye on the soup, and when it gets heated enough, bring it up to her as well as the water! I'm going to run to the store and get her some medicine and a couple 7ups!"
Luci says frantically, as he scrambled, washing his mouth with mouth wash, washing the toothbrush and putting it away, running to his room, putting on a red shirt he found, and he had black sweat pants on.
He put his boots on, and grabbed his wallet, Michael waking up seeing this all go down.

"lucifer.. Are you okay?"
Michael groaned as Luci looked at him.
"ah.. Lena's running a fever, so I'm going to the store to get her some things."
There was a slight cough from her room as Luci's eyes grew wide and he literally scrambled to her room, looking at her and kneeling down.
"are you okay??"
He asked as she shook her head, she looked like she was in pain.
"I think I have the flu.."
Her voice was raspy and she was pale.
"fuck.. I'm sorry.. I'm going to the store, I'm going to try and nurse you back to health."
"it's okay Luci, it's flu season."
"yes, but I can't stand seeing you like this.."
He said sadly as he held Lena's hand.
"I'll be back, I promise."
He kissed her head and hugged her tightly, as he made his way downstairs, Calah walking up and placing the soup down, as she placed pillows to help lena sit up to eat and drink properly.

"Jesus, are you okay?"
Calah asked, feeling Lena's forehead as she got up.
"let me get a thermometer."
She walked to the bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet, grabbing the thermometer and washing it to be sure.
She walked back and sat on the bed next to lena, handing her the thermometer, as she waited with Lena.
"105?! Jesus, Luci's right to worry."
"me and him used to get sick a lot back then, I remember when we were sick, and he fell asleep with his pillow on his face."
Lena smiles weakly, as Calah spoon fed her the soup.
"you should get some sweaters, here.."
Calah sat up, and walked up to the closet Lena had, grabbing one of her sweaters, giving it to lena as she helped her out it on.
"I already have sweat pants on, so we don't need to worry about that."
Lena says, as Calah hummed and fed her more.

Luci was absolutely worried, he grabbed almost anything to fight the flu, and he bought a couple of sodas for the house and bottled water.
Definitely some soups.
Also jackets for lena.
Blankets, even though she had enough, he worried himself too much.
Pillows.
Plushies to make her feel better.
He payed for all of the things, as he raced home, he opened the door as he ran to the fridge, putting the things away as he put the soups away in the pantry.
He sped walked up the stairs as he was met with Calah and Lena there, Calah was helping her eat as she already finished her water.

"okay so I got these."
Luci said, as Lena smiles at Luci, and Calah was wide eyed.
"I think you went overboard."
Calah said as Luci responded:
"nothing's too good for my baby sibling."
Lena scoffed as she took the bags, smiling and admiring everything.
"thank you so much, Lu."
Lena smiled widely as Luci smiled as well, glad she liked them as Luci handed Calah the medicine.
"just read them, see which one she should take first."
Luci says, as he grabs the empty glass and the bowl, going downstairs and putting them in the sink, as he grabbed a 7up for lena, and he grabbed himself a Coca Cola.

He walked back up as he gave Lena the 7up, by the way her face was scrunched up, she had already taken medicine.
He frowned and kneeled down to her.
"do you want a bath..?"
Luci asked, as she nodded.
He walked to the bathroom, grabbing some soap.
It was a weird kind, but it soothed aches.
He also grabbed some vapor rub and put it in the bath as it filled up.
He stopped and stared at the water, making sure it got hot enough.
When the water was high enough, he turned the nob and walked out, he went back to Lena's room and grabbed some clothes for her.
"the bath is ready, just wait here.."
He says as he placed the clothes on the counter, and he went back to her room.

He picked Lena up again and placed her down in the bathroom as she scoffed at his gesture, and he left the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
"let me know when you're done, okay?"
Luci asked as Lena laughed a bit.
"you worry too much!"
"no I don't."
"yeah you do."
Michael says as he ruffled Luci's hair, and Luci's face only flushed.
"but trust me, it's not a bad thing."
Calah said as Luci just stood there, frowning.

3 hours later.

Luci sat on a chair next to Lena's bed, as he was reading her a book, she was already asleep as Calah leaned on the door frame.
She smiled.
"you really do care for her."
"eh.. It's just scary seeing someone you raised, get sick."
Luci said, as he brushed some strands of hair out of Lena's face, and he tucked her in, kissing her head before walking out of the room as did Calah, she closed the door as her and Luci sat on the couch and hoped Lena's sickness passed.
