Hawks X Reader Book 2

Sick Burden

(Y/n) sneezes and groans into her pillow. "I wanna die~" she moans as Keigo comes back into the room.
"Sorry baby bird, that's not allowed. Doctor Hawks is here to help."
"Birdie, you're the last person I want treating my ailments."
The blonde pouts cutely. "That's not nice. I don't like seeing you in pain so I'm gonna make the pain go away. Plus I'm a hero, that's my job."
(Y/n) sighs and covers a cough. "Fine. I need an ice pack for my forehead and more blankets."
Keigo thinks about those contradictions but does as instructed.

"Birdie, I need more orange juice."
"I'll be right there."
"Keigo, can you rub my shoulders?"
"Of course I can."
"She looks so sweet when she's asleep."
"I'm not asleep yet. Can you put that damp towel back on my forehead?"
"The soup is too hot. Please blow on it."
"Anything for you baby bird."

As the sun sets Keigo collapses onto the couch and groans quietly.
"Damn," he mumbles. "I didn't expect to be running around so much. I think she'll get better soon though."
His neck cracks and when he twists, his back cracks too.
A sudden noise catches his attention; it's coming from the bedroom.

The bird walks over to the door and notices it's crying he's hearing.
(Y/n) is laying on her side, her face mostly buried in his pillow and crying quietly.
Obviously it was choppy and one could tell she has a stuffy nose from her constant sniffling.
Since she didn't feel like blowing every couple minutes she just stuck two pieces of tissue in her nose.
The hero's heart clenches and he walks in. "Baby bird what's wrong." He asks softly.

(Y/n) looks up at her boyfriend. "I'm just a burden aren't I? Why do you stay with me? I'm so demanding and bitchy. You-"
"(Y/n) how could you think that? I love you. You're sick and need me to take care of you. Obviously I'm gonna run around and try to make sure you're comfortable."
"But I-"
"No buts baby. And you're not demanding or bitchy." He laughs softly and kisses her forehead. "Now close your eyes and go to sleep. I'm sure you'll feel better soon."
(Y/n) frowns but nods. "Are you sure you don't mind doing stuff for me?"
"Of course not baby bird. You just need to relax. I can do the chores and get you whatever you need."

"I wish I could kiss you," (Y/n) grumbles. She looks away and gets under the blankets.
Keigo laughs softly and nods. "Me too. But I don't want to get sick too. So I will give you all the kisses when you're all better."
"You promise?"
"Oh yeah. Do you want more orange juice before you sleep?"
The woman shakes her head. "No. But can you hold me?"
"Yes I can hold you." Hawks lays down and wraps his arm around her waist from behind. He buries his face in her hair and takes a deep breath.
"Does my shampoo smell good?"
"It's my favorite smell." The hero responds.

"Are you sure I'm not just a burden?"
"Yes I'm sure. I'm glad to help you baby. Now shhhh and rest."
(Y/n) sighs and closes her eyes. She sneezes and he chuckles quietly.
He hands her a tissue and she reluctantly blows her nose.
She uses a few tissues, and feels disgusting but after her nose felt more clear.
Hawks laughs quietly and pets her hair. "Don't sniffle. It just goes down your throat and that isn't good on any level."
The (h/c) pouts cutely and buries her face in the pillow again. She mumbles incoherently while the bird rubs her hip with his thumb.
"Good night baby bird."
"Good night Birdie." (Y/n) whispers and immediately falls asleep.
