I shifted my weight from my left foot to my right as I stood on C/n's porch. In my hand I held dollar general bags with things I had bought for C/n, they were sick.
The door creaked open and C/n popped their head out slowly. They were wrapped up in a blanket, their hair was disheveled, and they held a few crumpled up tissues in their hand.
"Oh no," C/n said with their stuffy voice, beginning to close the door. "You can't be here."
"I brought you some stuff," I said, ignoring what they said and walking straight in.
The door closed softly and I heard C/n sigh. I turned around, seeing them glaring at me.
"I don't want to get you sick, Y/n," they spoke sternly.
I went over to them, fixing their hair. I could feel them staring at me.
"I'll be okay," I whispered.
C/n rolled their eyes, following me into the kitchen where I had placed the bags.
I pulled the items out of the bag, showing them tissues, cough drops, tea, candies, and a coloring book.
"I was going to get you crayons but I forgot."
C/n smiled at me, wrapping their arms around my waist and burying their face in my neck.
I froze.
"Anything else, or can I continue my nap?"
"Nothing else.." my voice was quiet and I know they could tell I was nervous.
"Let's go then," they said, grabbing my hand and taking me to their bedroom.
They were so casual about this. Why did they hold me like that? Why am I climbing into their bed right now?
My heart was beating so fast, then C/n started cuddling me as they closed their eyes.
Did they always get this affectionate when they're sick? They never act this way.
I tried to loosen up to make things less awkward, wrapping my arms around C/n's torso.
"You're so nervous," C/n mumbled into my chest, making my cheeks feel hot with embarrassment. I didn't respond.
They opened their eyes, looking up at me. I tried to keep eye contact but they make me nervous, I had to look away a few times.
C/n's eyes glanced at my lips, making me even more flustered.
They leaned in, placing a soft kiss on my lips. I kissed back as gently as I could.
They pulled back, looking at me with a warm smile.
"Now you'll for sure get sick," they laughed before laying back down, motioning for me to cuddle with them.
I don't really mind getting sick if it meant C/n liked me.
