You woke up one night, alone— where's Vincent..?
Then it hit you, the pounding headache, the sniffly nose, the sore throat, the itchy eyes.
"Ow-" you squint your eyes closed and put a hand to your head. "Shit- He's watching wonder world right now.."
You get out of bed to find medicine when the whole body ache hit you. You winced in pain and slowly started to stand up. You raised your arms and stretched, in hopes some of the pain would go away and made your way down the hall and to the stairs. It felt like you were spinning and rubbed your eyes to get the sleepiness away and yawned. You walked down the stairs, holding onto the railing to steady yourself.
When you finally got to the kitchen, you gargled some warm salt water, took some medicine for the pain, and sat down on the couch.
Sigh. Where did this even come from..? I was feeling fine yesterday.
You dozed off on the couch for a little while, until you heard the front door open. Out of shock, your eyes shot open because you were half asleep and just sat there for a moment, frozen. Then the sleepiness hit you and you calmed down.
"Vincent..?" You said with a raspy, half-asleep voice.
"Yes, lovely?" Vincent looked at you with concern. "Are you feeling alright?"
"...no.. I think I'm sick." You rub your eyes and your arms ache again.
"I think so, I can hear it in your voice." Vincent walks towards you and sits next to you. You yawn  and spoke "why are you back so early, I thought you were going to be there longer."
"It's just before sunrise. Did you not check the time?" He kisses your cheek.
"I guess not. I'm kind of out of it. I feel horrible and everything aches. And don't kiss me, I don't want to get you sick." Your eyes meet his.
"Even when you're half asleep and sick, you're still beautiful." He kisses you on the lips.
"Mph- Vincent!" You both laugh.
"Have you had anything? I can get you some medicine."
"I've already taken some and I gargled salt water for my throat."
"Hmm.. does your throat hurt?"
"Yeah, it feels all itchy."
"I'll get you a tea spoon of honey. My mom taught me that one for a sore throat." He stands up, walking towards the kitchen and grabs the honey.
He walks back to you with the teaspoon of honey and you swallow the rest. His gaze softens at you and he takes to spoon back and puts it in the sink.
"Would you like to go back to bed?" He had a hand out for you to hold.
"That would be nice." You hold his hand and he lead you back up the stairs and into bed.
You got into bed as Vincent walked into the closet to get into sleepwear. He came back out of the closet in more comfortable clothes and layer down next to you. He kisses your lips once more for the time the two of you are awake.
"Honey I don't want to get you sick."
"And you won't, I'll be fine." He speaks softly and pulls you in close.
"Sleep well, lovely. I love you." He gives one last kiss on your forehead and closes his eyes. You just lay there, comfortable, listening to his breathing and the two of you doze off to sleep.
