23: Sick with Todoroki Part 3

Two days have passed

Y/N POV:

Me and Todoroki have been resting a lot these past few days. My fever has been going down a lot slower than his has though. I think he's feeling a lot better than I am. I still have a 100.4 (38) degree fever. I just woke up from a nap. We've been eating a lot of chicken soup and drinking a lot of tea. Then Todoroki woke up.

"Mm. Good morning beautiful. How're you feeling?"

"Better. My fever has gone down."

"That's great news sweetheart."

"I know. I still have a slight fever of 100.4 (38) degrees. But it's gone down significantly from the first day that we were sick."

"That's right. That means you're getting better. I'm happy for you honey."

"Thanks, babe. But we should see where you're at too. Let me just feel your forehead real quick."

"Okay."

"Okay. Can you just lean forward slightly for me? Thank you. Okay. Well, you don't feel warm anymore. That's a good sign. But I'd still like to take your temperature. Just to be sure."

"Do whatever you need to do princess." 

"Okay (grabs thermometer). Okay, open for me. Lift the tongue. And... close. Good. *beep beep* Okay. 98.6 (37). Well, you're back to normal. That's great Shoto. *cough cough*"

"Oh. I'm sorry that you're still feeling sick. Are you still feeling nauseous?"

"No. My stomach has settled so that's good."

"Good. I'm glad you're feeling better Snowflake. Do you need anything, love?"

"I think I just need another dose of medicine. I should be fine by tomorrow. (takes medicine) Oh. Gross."

"I know. But you still need it to get better."

"I know. At least it's the weekend now so we don't have to worry about classes."

"I know. But I should probably get some homework done. We've missed a lot. You still have a fever so I'm not letting you do your homework right now. But I should still get some done. Get caught up you know?"

"Okay. I think I'm just gonna go back to sleep. *yawn* I'm still pretty *sneeze* tired. *blows nose*"

"Aw. Bless you, baby. Here. Let me get you some tea. That should help your throat."

"You don't have to do that."

"I want to. You're still sick so let me take care of you for a little bit."

"But what about your homework?"

"That can wait a little while longer. You're still feeling sick. Besides, I should probably quarantine for a few more days. Just to make sure that there's nothing left in my system."

"Are you *cough* Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, love."

"Thank you, Shoto."

"Of course, darling. You just try to get some rest. I'll be right back with your tea." He kisses my forehead and goes into my kitchen to make tea.

I went back to sleep. I'm still so exhausted. Soon enough I feel Todoroki shaking me. "Ngh. What's up, babe?"

"Tea's ready."

"Oh. Thank you."

"Of course, drink up. It should help you get better in no time."

"I don't deserve you." I say as I start sipping on my tea.

"What are you talking about?"

"I mean, you're doing so much for me. You've done so much for me ever since I got here. *sip* I don't deserve that kind of kindness."

"Of course you do, darling. You are one of the kindest people in our class. You always try to do your best. You're so strong, smart, beautiful, and independent. Of course, you deserve to be treated the same way. Plus, I love you so I'm going to take care of you when you're unwell."

"Ugh. Thank you, Todoroki. I think I'm gonna go back to sleep. I'm still really sleepy."

"Okay. Do you want me to stroke your hair until you fall asleep? I know that relaxes you."

"Yeah. That'd be really nice Shoto. Thank you."

"Shh. No more talking. Here." He climbs into bed beside me. "Here. Lay your head in my lap. I'll stroke your hair until you fall asleep. You need your rest. I'll be here when you wake up."

*yawn* "Thank-"

"Shh. Go to sleep." He demands as he strokes my hair. I nod sleepily and allow myself to drift off. I can't stay awake when he's stroking my hair like that. I think he's even massaging my scalp as well. What an amazing boyfriend.
