"Tae?" You called out, reaching across the sheets to find his warmth. Your eyes flew open when you felt nothing there. You slowly sat up, yawning, the world still dark around you. Like a warm, fuzzy blanket that you didn't want to get out of, but you really had to find Taehyung to make sure he wasn't burning the kitchen down, or trying to breed grasshoppers in the living room again.
Tiredly, you swung your legs out of bed and opened the window, pleasantly surprised to find it raining. Rain was never a problem. You turned the desk lamp on, illuminating the room in a soft orange glow. You yawned and ruffled your hair, getting up and going to the kitchen, surprised that Taehyung wasn't making some lethal concoction.
"He didn't have schedules today, right?" You murmured, looking out the window. You opened do the fridge, and then you heard sniffling.
Fear crept up on you and you slowly turned around, tiptoeing to the living room. All the worst scenarios played through in your head, but when you peeked over the couch, you saw that familiar tuft of brown hair peeking out of your warmest comforter. You breathed a sigh of relief and gently sat beside him, careful not to wake him.
"Why are you here so early in the morning?" You murmured, running your hands through his hair. He groggily opened his eyes, looked at you, smiled, and sneezed.
"Hi Hummy~" he said, his usual enthusiasm dampened by his sick. It didn't stop the adorable smile from creeping onto his face, or the sparkle in his eyes when he gazed into yours.
"Hey, Tae~" you replied. "You've gone and worn yourself out, haven't you?"
He only looked at you, that smile that you loved so much on his face.
"Why did you leave the bed?" You asked, still massaging his head. His eyes closed in pleasure and he leaned into your hand, snuggling deeper into the blanket.
"Mm...I didn't want...to make you sick..." he answered, voice husky and hoarse from the cold. You gently felt his forehead, suddenly overcome with feelings for your boyfriend.
"Do you want some tea? Ill make you some rice porridge too," you said. He nodded, and fell back asleep almost as soon as your hand left his head. You smiled and gently shook your head at him, before going to the kitchen and preparing said items. You grabbed some medicine too, and as a last minute thing, added some meat to the porridge, knowing he would appreciate it.
"TaeTae~" you sang, balancing his food and medicine on a tray. You sat in front of him and waited for him to sit cross-legged on the couch. You handed him the tray and he gratefully ate, smiling in delight when he tasted the meat. He took the pills without a complaint, and gave you the sleepiest yet sweetest smile you had ever seen after he lay back down.
"Thank you Hummy~" he said, eyes half closed. He laced his fingers with yours and closed his eyes.
You smiled and lay next to him, pulling a second comforter around the both of you. Quickly, you pecked his forehead, watching him smile slowly.
"Get well soon, Tae. And don't worry about getting me sick, that just means you get to pay me back~"
He slowly opened his eyes and looked at you before kissing you softly, and wrapping his arms around your waist.
"That won't be a problem. "
