Warnings: Flu! Biker Ari! (Because he needs his own warning!)
-Ari decided to get the the bar a little earlier than usual today, hoping to spend a bit more time with you before your shift started
-But as time ticked on and drew closer to your usual starting time, you had yet to appear
-You arrived a whole 5 minutes late which was Ari's first indication that something was wrong
-He watched you shuffle behind the bar, shivering slightly despite the fact it was pretty warm out, tugging the sleeves of your shirt down.
-"Hey Ari" you greeted "the usual?" You ask already grabbing the bottle of scotch, your voice all stuffy and tired.
-"Uh yeah... is everything okay? You don't sound great" he says his brows pinching together in concern.
-"Yeah" you say waving it off "just a small cold, i'll be fine once I get going and the meds kick in"
-"You shouldn't really be working if you're ill, you'll only get worse" Ari says shaking his head
-"Yeah well nobody is available to cover so its this is or close the bar" you shrug as you move to wipe down the sides.
-"I could cover" Ari offers but you shake your head.
-"You're not even an official employee, I can't keep letting you work for free" you tell him.
-"Well lets sign some paper work then" Ari shrugs.
-"No Ari I'm fine I promise" you state making Ari huff but he decided to trust you.
-Despite that he made sure to keep an eye on you.
-Every time you caught him you would tell him you were fine but you definitely weren't fine, Ari could see you slowly getting worse
-It was when you stepped out from behind the bar and stumbled over your own feet that Ari stepped in. His large hands easily catching you and keeping you up right.
-"Babe, you look like you're about to pass out" he said, concern lacing his voice as he took in your pale, sweaty complexion and droopy eyes.
-"I'm- i'm fine, just a funny five" you reason but you were still swaying.
-Ari frowned holding the back of his hand to your forehead and hissing when he felt how hot it was "fuck babe, you're burning up, you must have the flu"
-"No its-its just a- just a head- head cold" you slurred blinking slowly as you tried to look up at him.
-"You're getting some rest now" Ari states scooping you up into his arm "and I'm gonna take car of you"
-"Bu- but the bar" you managed to say already half passed out in his arms
-"I'll call in a couple favours, don't worry they have experience" he promises
-"M'kay" you murmur practically half asleep in his arms.
-For the rest of your shift Ari split his time between caring for you in the back office and keeping an eye on the bar.
-He made sure you took some medicine and brought you cold rags to place on your forehead to help cool you down.
-When it came to the end of your shift he took you back home to your place and slept on your couch just in case you needed him in the night
