Hospital incident pt 2 | Nat

"Hey..you should eat" Nat worriedly sighs..it's been 2 weeks after the incident and we both haven't gone to work since. I mentally can't, and she's staying to take care of me

I just stared at her before feeling like I was gonna cry again "I'm hurting seeing you like this" she clicked her tongue pulling my chair closer to her as she held me and let me cry on her shoulder

"Nothing is gonna happen ok? I'll protect you no matter what...I promise" she reassured earning my nod

"C- Can we just go back to bed?" I pushed myself off of her earning her nod

She let me bury my face in her chest as she ran her fingers through my hair and her other hand inside my shirt rubbing my back in the most comforting way possible

I heard her stomach crumble before she chuckled "Don't worry, I'm ok" she smiled reassuringly kissing my forehead

"I'm sorry.."

"Shh... just rest on me ok?"

NAT POV

I don't know..what to do. I'm trying so hard to look strong for her but I have been crying myself to sleep seeing her like this.

She lifted her face to look at me still couldn't help to be emotional and frown "I d-don't want to die" she mumbled receiving a look of pity from me, my eyes becoming glossy

"T-That..is not..gonna happen, not on my watch" I shook my head pulling her again to hide my face as I couldn't control my tears

"If something bad happened to me..who's gonna take care of you?" She mumbles.

This is the first time she's talking to me after the incident and I'm glad at least we're making progress

I don't blame her, she was about to be shot and the whole thing is just in another level of trauma plus she never faced that kind of violence before...

"I'm sorry if I'm being a burden to you.." she sniffs

"Hey..you're not a burden" I lifted her face cupping her cheek " I promised to take care of you and be here when you need me...I know you do, you're not a burden, you're the love of my life and I will never leave you ok?" I sigh earning her nod

"Look how tired your eyes are...I miss your smile...that gorgeous smile that recharges me for a whole century" I playfully say earning a chuckle

"There she is" my heart smiled

"I appreciate everything... I'm so lucky to have you. I love you, baby" She took a deep breath before Actually reaching and giving me a kiss making me close my eyes

"Wow....I missed those lips" I leaned closer kissing her again before she wrapped her arms around my neck and buried her face in my neck "I love you the most.." I whispered already hearing her soft breathing which meant she was already asleep

Also, I'm starving, yes

_______

I woke up feeling like my girl is extra squishy..well apparently she's a pillow now

I quickly stood up panicking "Y/N???" I called out looking for her, but she wasn't in the bathroom and it was only 2 am so I ran my way downstairs hoping she didn't sneak or anything

Well...either she is here or a ghost that looks exactly like her is cooking "love?" I come closer "Oh...did I wake you up?" She softly asked

"No..No, I just woke up and realized you're not the one I'm cuddling anymore..what are you doing?"

"Uhm..you didn't eat dinner. I made you soup and cookies" she swallowed thickly getting a bowl while the cookies were already on a plate

"You should be resting.."
