"katsuki? can i come in?" your knuckles knocked against the bedroom door before you walked inside, seeing him laid on his side with his eyes wide open and just staring at space. "i made some chamomile tea for your throat" when he didn't answer you, you started to chew on the inside of your cheek, assuming that his throat was just hurting to the point he couldn't speak.
you set the tea down on a little table you had set up in front of him that also had some tissues, cough drops, and more stuff on top. you took a deep breath. "well...if you want anything else, just call me" it's not like you really had to remind him, he was going to call you whether he needed something or not.
you started to walk towards the door until he finally spoke up.
"can you lay down with me?" you paused and looked at him, seeing him staring at you with desperation in his eyes. you pulled your mask up a bit before answering him. "so you want me to get sick too? you put your hand on your hip as you looked at him like he was crazy. "six feet kat, six feet"
you heard him let out a small groan before turning over to face you, deep bags in his eyes with dark circles under them, it looked like he hadn't gotten any sleep in years, just a breathing corpse. "i'm so sick of being stuck in this damn room all day, suffering" he expressed, hoping he would be able to somehow coax you into staying in there with him, even thought there was a good chance that you weren't.
"are you trying to guilt trip me?" your eyebrow raiser as you questioned him, watching as his lips pursed. "maybe, is it working?" he sniffled. you clicked your tongue before pulling your phone out of your pocket, checking the time. "two hours, i'll stay in here for two hours and then i'm gonna go disinfect myself" he didn't smile, but you seen his eyes light up in joy.
you sat down on the other side of him and he held a confused look on his face. katsuki watched as you took two of the pillows and made a small barrier in the middle of the bed. "what? i hope you don't think we was about to be all cuddled up with you all coughing and wheezing, tuh" you scoffed as you adjusted the mask on your face that had slightly moved down from your talking.
"thought you never got sick dumbass?" katsuki let out a raspy chuckle as he remembered you bragging about how strong your immune system was the last time he had gotten a cold. "this is different, and stop bringing up old shit," his eyebrows widened at your words. "ain't this a bitch? never thought i'd—"
"katsuki shut up and drink your tea" you cut him off, you reached over on the table next to the bed and grabbed the container of disinfecting wipes, pulling one out as you wiped the remote down. you felt katsuki moving around and looked over to see him readjusting in his position, laying closer to your pillow barrier as he let out ragged breaths, waiting for you to turn something on.
"let's watch something scary, maybe it'll scare that virus outta you" you joked as you looked through the horror section. "play that one" katsuki uttered when you clicked on insidious. you glanced over at him, not completely sure to play it because last time he had nightmares for months.
"just play it" he urged you. you shrugged your shoulders before pressing it, just hoping he wouldn't start bitching about it later.
3 horror movies later ...
you blinked your eyes open, noticing the movie had gone off and it was now just a blank screen, you didn't even remember dozing off. you wiped some slob off of your chin with the back of your hand as you blinked a couple of times, trying to adjust to the darkness.
"katsuki?" your voice was barely a whisper and full of sleep, squinting your your eyes as you looked over your shoulder and seen that he moved your barrier away, his body now laying right beside you as he let out shallow breaths. you hesitantly poked him a little before calling his name again and seeing his facial expression shifting around.
"go back to sleep" he nasally grumbled. "you're gonna get me sick—"
"please, just lay down with me for tonight" you exhaled at his pleads, you were most definitely gambling with your health, but you couldn't just leave him all alone.
"only tonight katsuki," you mumbled out. "are you hot?" you asked, noticing that he had kicked the cover off and removed his sweatshirt, you felt him nod against your back and you stood up to open up the window, a cool breeze immediately rushing inside of the room.
you got back in the bed and readjusted into the position you were in. you felt him wrap his arm around you and your breath hitched, but you decided not to say anything, it was only for one night.
you started to doze back off, the cold air contributing to your comfort in the bed. you felt katsuki moving a bit behind you before he said something. "y/n? you up?" you really didn't feel like talking, so you let out a few light snores, hoping he'd get the hit so you could go back to sleep.
"i'm sorry for being an asshole" he whispered close to your ear. a small smile spread across your face at his words. he didn't say anything else so you assumed he went back to sleep, deciding to do the same you finally dozed off.
