Ghouls One-shots/Preferences III

Mountain - Sick In Bed

It started last night before you went to bed. You had a slight sore throat, but you figured it was nothing until you woke up the next morning to a pounding headache, your throat now burning and being congested.

Mountain had already left for the greenhouse so you slowly moved out of bed and got dressed, genuinely just wanting to stay in bed and sleep, but you didn't feel like getting the wrath of Sister Imperator. Slowly you made your way around the ministry, doing your chores until lunch. You took out the tray of food to the greenhouse, slowly pushing the door open and stepping inside, hearing Mountain humming to himself.

"Hey sweetheart!" He chirped happily as you approached. His face instantly dropped. "Why are you doing this if you're sick?" He said quickly, quickly washing his hands and taking the tray from you.

"How'd you know?" You mumbled quietly. He raised an eyebrow with an unimpressed gaze.

"I'm not that stupid, honey. Now get back inside and go to bed. I'll join you." He said, taking a large bit of the grilled cheese.

"No, Mountain, I'm fine." You shook your head. He growled at you softly, making you sigh. "Fine." You nodded. He gave you a small smile before finishing the cheese sandwich and then quickly picking you up into his arms. You brought you hand to your mouth as you coughed, Mountain gripping you tighter as he carried you out of the greenhouse.

"Did you take any medicine today or something?" He asked as he opened the door of the ministry and stepped inside the ghouls kitchen, walking down the hallway to his room.

"Had some DayQuil like 5 hours ago." You nodded quietly as Mountain sat you down on the bed.

"Alright. Do you want me to help you change into something comfier?" He asked, seeing the uniform on your body.

"No, I can manage." You nodded.

"Alright. I'm going to go and get you some of my homemade stuff. I'll be right back." He said softly, leaning down and pressing a kiss to your forehead. You smiled softly at his touch before nodding. He left the room and you undressed, slipping on some comfy pajamas before climbing back in bed. Mountain returned with a small bottle and unscrewed the lid.

"Just take a swig of it." He said, handing the bottle to you. You took it and raised it to your lips. You took a big swig, making a face as the bitter liquid filled your mouth. "Swallow. All of it." He said with a bit of sterness. You let out a pained groan, wanting to spit out. "Swallow." He said, putting his hand over your mouth so you couldn't spit it out. You quickly swallowed it, your eyes burning as you stiffled a gag.

"That better help." You grumbled, a distinct burn of alcohol at the back of your throat.

"Trust me, it will." He chuckled softly before crawling in bed beside you. "Now, just lay down and relax, alright?" He said, pulling you into his arms, pressing a kiss to your temple. You nodded softly, letting out a small sigh before burying your face in his chest, hearing him start to purr softly. You eventually fell asleep, the large ghoul holding you close as his magick helped with the medicine heal you.
