Slither Mate (WangXian & XiCheng FF) || Hybrid Omegaverse AU

Slither 35.5

After Wei Ying left, Jiang Cheng was left writhing in pain. He told Wei Ying to go but his brain wants him to stay. He doesn't like this, it's painful everywhere. His body is shaking too much making him unable t move an inch. His voice is hoarse, throat dry even how many times he quench his thirst with water. He's sweating so much that it feels icky, but he can't even move an inch to even change. His eyes feel heavy and tired, not even giving him a chance to get a glimpse of the sunlight that is beaming inside his room. His chest hurts, his heart palpitating every once in a while. His head is throbbing, head spinning whenever he tries to open his eyes, even the buzzing sounds from his ears whenever he hears someone talk adds to the pain in his head. And his stomach, something below his gut is giving him too much pain, a thorny feeling, churning in every way that he can't explain how painful it is.

He hugged his stomach where it hurts the most, singing inside his head to calm his nerves and at least ease the pain. He can't even sleep from all of it, it just made him worse every second. With his head spinning, he just wishes someone rescues him from all this pain. He wants to scream but his weakness prevents him from even opening his mouth to produce a mumble. 

By the second, he regrets he made the omega leave him alone. It feels so dark and lonely, so painful and sad. Tears brimmed from the corner of his eyes and eventually fell one by one until he soaked one side of his pillow with tears. The uncomfortable mess doesn't matter to him right now already, his body is too focused on all the pain he's feeling, and the sweat, tears, and damp clothes and sheets are not one of his worries for the time being. 

For two hours, he endured the pain by himself, unable to sleep off the past hours of writhing. He whines low at every throb of his head, and he sobs when the thorny pain below his gut attacks. But his body weakens every second, his mind grew tired that it just shuts down after a few sobs. And then he already blacked out, arms still hugging his stomach.

He doesn't know how many hours has he been sleeping, but he heard a knock and a voice, he can't decipher what the other is telling from the other line because the moment his senses awoke, the pain came running back again. He groans but even his throat doesn't want to cooperate. 'Please let me sleep again!' he pleaded inside his head, at least when he's asleep he doesn't feel all this pain. 

The bedroom door creaked, indicating that it opened and someone is coming inside by the sound of the footsteps getting. It is Wei Ying? Did he come back to look after him? Finally, his prayers had been answered, he just want someone to make him at ease. He wants to open his mouth to tell him that he's happy to have him here, but he's too weak to even utter a word, hence, tears of joy run down his eyes. His weaken body can't even move an inch, his position when he blacked out is the same as he wakes up.

Then he heard rustles of plastic and a soft thud, something must have been put on the bedside table, and then he felt the bed dip. Wei Ying must've sat beside him, but the person doesn't seem like it was Wei Ying. It was so quiet, that Wei Ying would've been nagging at him the moment he enters. Now that the person is sitting beside him, he caught a familiar scent. His brows furrowed as he tries to remember who it belongs.

Then he felt a warm hand swipe on his forehead. Familiar, he feels safe and comforted. Upon struggling he still forced himself to open his eyes, he wants to make sure that the person who he reminded him of with the scent is the same person sitting beside him right now. A soft blurry sight welcomes him. A familiar stature, despite the blurry image, he recognized who it was. 

"Whey are you here?" he softly mumbles, a little incoherent, and prays that the alpha understood what he said. He didn't hear an answer, rather, he felt the warm hand that was once tucking his hair is now beside his cheeks. His throbbing head instantly calms, melting into the warmth of the alpha's palms. 

"You can go back to sleep. Sorry, I woke you up. I just came to visit since I heard you got sick," He hears him. He doesn't know why but the sound of the alpha's voice is clear, no annoying buzzing noises, just the alpha's voice, smoothly traveling his ears. His heart flutters, and the painful trumping of his chest was replaced with something soothing, still thumping wild but not painful. He wants to hear more, but his dry throat refuses him to. 

As if the alpha read his mind, he spoke once again, "I will take care of you until someone gets home to take care of you, yeah?" he hears, then felt something like a cloth being pressed onto his face. 

Getting a whiff of it, he instinctively rubs his face on the cloth. The pain in his body slowly calming down, even the stomachache he had is slowly vanishing. 

He doesn't know how or why is a simple clothing eased all his pain, but he felt relieved. He doesn't want to part with it, just stay where it was. 

"There you go, you're all dried up," he hears the alpha utter, then he felt it abandoning his proximity. 

"N-no..." he weakly mumbles, trying to catch the hands with the cloth to bring them back to where it is placed before. 

When the cloth settled back, he hears the alpha chuckle, "You like it?" he coos in a sweet voice.

Jiang Cheng wants to say yes but a sigh came out of his mouth instead, from all the comfort and the sweet scent coming from the cloth, "Hm.. stay..." he manages to mumble, as his weak grip on the alpha's wrist released. 

He feels safe. The pain vanishes. The comfort is now taking him to dreamland by the second. And before he lost all his consciousness, he heard the alpha, "...I will... I will always will..." 

He somehow felt a soft peck planted on his forehead before he completely lost in sleep... or maybe it's just a dream?
