5. Sick day (Deiford)

// Yes I just realised that's what the ship name is.

Deimos' POV

It was 4 am. I woke up in the middle of the night, feeling like I was dying. I had a runny nose, a sore throat and a really bad headache. I quietly went downstairs in order to get some medicine. I wasn't going to stay like this until tomorrow. After all, I have missions to go to and I wasn't going to let a cold stop me from doing just that.

I heard the floor cracking from behind, as I felt a hand touch my shoulder.

"What are you doing, Dei?"

It was just Sanford. Of course he was going to wake up if I went walking around in the middle of the night, but it was only me. Anyone else who might've done that, he wouldn't wake up. Does he know me that well that he can sense me even when he is asleep?

"Just getting some medicine."

I turned around, only to see Sanford with a worried face, despite I was doing just fine. I mean i wasn't really doing just fine but I wasn't dying either.

"Don't hug me, I don't want you to get sick either."

I could feel that it was just killing him. He wanted to help in some way but he just couldn't.

"Is it okay if we sleep in the living room? You wi sleep on the couch and I will sleep on a blanket on the floor, from a distance. I just want to make sure that you're ok."

"If that is going to make you feel better as well, I guess I am going to do just that!"

I glanced at him with a smile and went to get my stuff from my room.

"Stay here, I will get them for you."

I just loved this guy. How caring could he be? It felt like his kindness would never reach an end, and I loved that. Even though he is worrying too much about me, i low-key find that cute.

Right as he was back, (surprisingly quickly and quietly) he put the pillow on the couch. I laid down as he covered me with the blanket. Now I loved that.

"Do you want a cup of tea?"

Now this was crazy. I was genuinely craving. A cup of tea, and he somehow figured that out. I guess our souls are meant to be together, connected, but even with that, I wouldn't be able to figure out all of this stuff! I guess he's just build different, and those abs, those juicy big abs, yes.

"Yes, I actually really wanted one."

I let myself relax in the couch as I was waiting for the tea. It felt nice, having him around me at those late hours. It just hits different, you know?

Sanford took a chair and put everything I've needed here. Two cups of water, some medicine, and of course, the tea. He mixed it well with a drop and a half of honey, just as I wanted it.

"Thank you, darling." I said while smiling at him. He was my world, my light, my sun, my everything. He was mine.

"I love you too! <3"

As I took a few sips of the tea, and magically instantly feel better // as all the teas do, I buried myself under the blanket and fell asleep, not worrying about anything.

Sanford's POV

After I made sure that everything was right for Deimos, I've noticed him falling asleep. I was happy, I've done everything right for my little sunshine, and now he can rest well. I drank a glass of water and then laid down on the blanket bed, facing my lover, just like sunflowers face the sun..

...

Hank's POV

I woke up in the morning, at 6 o'clock, only to see Deimos and Sanford sleeping in the living room. From what I could see, Deimos was sick, and Sanford did an excellent job at taking care of him. I decided that if today we all take a day off wasn't a bad idea, as I knew that Doc was planning something and I was also experiencing burnout.

...

Deimos' POV

I woke up from what it seemed to be a heavenly sleeep, noticigk that every once was still sleeping. I checked for the clock and it was somehow, 11 am?! Normally, we would be already slaying grunts and destroying facilities, but I've noticed something on the fridge, a note from Hank.

"Today we are all talking a day off to rest. You've all done an amazing job and now it's the time we take care of ourselves. Deimos, get well soon.

P.S. : if you're wondering about me, I'll be sleeping for the rest of the day."

Now this was amazing. I didn't have to experience the guilt of letting my team behind! I saw Sanford wake up as he was looking at me, not being in my bed.

"You're feeling better?" He said, sparkes flashing through his eyes.

"Yes, and it's because of you!" I said as I rushed towards him, pulling him into a hug. This was going to be one of the best days we've experienced in a while.

We've went to his room and cuddled up, like true lovers. It was only a night passed, and I was already missing his touch.

"I love you so much Sanford, please never leave me ever in your life."

"I wouldn't be doing that no matter what, how am I supossed to navigate the world if I don't have the sun to guide me?"

"That was so cheesy!"

"Shush, I know you like it~"

After a ton of this we eventually fell asleep in each other's arms, resting for the day that was about to come. Wasn't it nice to have someone that you could always rely on? Wasn't it nice ti have someone to unconditionally love you? Yes, it was, and it will always be. My love, my life, my world.

// FIRST CHAPTER OVER A THOUSAND WORDS! I'm unnecesarilly proud of myself.

Thought of this one as I saw a box of paracetamol on my dad's desk.

I'm too lazy to read proof it now, but I am going to do it in the morning.

Now I am going to do anything but sleep!
