you fell asleep while watching criminal minds, just a few minutes after texting malachi. he stopped on the way to get you medicine and food from chick-fil-a.
around 30 minutes later, he got to your house and unlocked the front door with the key your brothers gave him, since he was over all the time. he could hear you sneezing and coughing from downstairs.
malachi brought the food and medicine upstairs and went into your room to find you fast asleep, curled up in a ball and facing away from him. he smiled, still thinking you looked beautiful despite having flushed cheeks and messed up hair. he sat the food and medicine down on your nightstand, rubbing your back to wake you up.
the feeling of his big hand gently rubbing circles on your back wakes you up. you groan, turning towards him and rubbing your eyes. you yawn and move to sit on his lap, clinging onto him.
"hi sleepy girl, i brought you chick-fil-a. how are you feeling?" malachi asks, running his fingers through your tangled hair. "like shit" you mumble, closing your eyes at the relaxing feeling. you and malachi sit in comfortable silence for the next few minutes.
eventually, you roll off his lap, laying on your side to face him. he puts his hand on your forehead, grimacing. "baby, you're really hot." he moves your hair off your face, pushing it back onto your pillow. "thanks, you too" you giggle, coughing a little. he playfully rolls his eyes, laughing at your joke.
"seriously you are warm though, you need to eat so you can take this medicine" malachi hands you the food bag and the medicine, moving to sit next to you. resting your head on his shoulder, you start to eat the chicken sandwich and fries he got you.
you groan, throwing your head back at the pain in your throat. malachi frowns, gently rubbing your thigh for comfort. once you finish eating, malachi throws your trash away and sits back next to you.
malachi hands you the medicine. "is it liquid?" you side eye the box. malachi laughs at the pure fear in your eyes, "it is, it's the only cough medicine they had left." you push the box away, shaking your head no.
he huffs, knowing how dramatic you are about liquid medicine. " just take the medicine, please baby." he pours it into the cup it came with, handing it to you. you push it away, moving away from him. "i'm gonna go home if you don't take it." he moves closer to you, handing you the little cup. you finally take the medicine, gagging at the taste.
malachi laughs at you, putting the medicine on your nightstand and pulling you closer to him. you lay your head on his chest, on the verge of tears because of your throat and body pain. he feels your body slightly shaking, pulling your face out of his chest to look at him. you cover your face with your hands, trying to wipe your tears.
malachi gently moves your hands off of your face, frowning when he sees you crying. "what's the matter pretty girl?" he wipes your tears, holding your cheek. "my throat hurts so bad and my body is aching, i hate being sick." you cry, your throat burning with every word.
malachi pauses for a second before kissing all over your face, ending with your lips. you pull away in shock, uncontrollably giggling, "mal! now you're gonna get sick."
he smiles at your reaction, "baby, i've been in your bed and you're laying on me right now. i'm bound to get sick." he pushes your hair behind your ear, kissing your forehead. you huff and lay your head back down on his chest, eventually falling asleep.
_______________________________
you woke up just a few hours later, feeling nauseous. you try to go back to sleep, leaning more into malachi, who was fast asleep behind you. you had almost fell back asleep when a wave of nausea hit you like a bus.
throwing his arm off of you, you get out of your bed and run to the bathroom as fast as you can. leaning down, you throw up everything you ate into the toilet.
malachi hears you gagging, running into the bathroom and sitting behind you. "it's okay, it's okay. i'm right here" he holds your hair back, rubbing your back to comfort you. you let out a small cry, holding your head in your hands. you lean back into him before quickly lurching forward again, letting everything else out.
malachi grimaces, continuing to rub your back. you flush the toilet, leaning into him. he helps you stand up, gently wiping your tears with his thumbs. "you okay?" malachi asks, helping you to the sink as you brush your teeth. he stands behind you, waiting so he can help you back to your room.
you finish brushing your teeth, turning around to lean your head on malachis chest. "i'm so weak" you mumble, barely being able to stand. "i know, i got you" he picks you up, carrying you to your bed and laying down beside you. malachi sits up a little against the headboard, letting you lay on him.
"do you feel better?" he rubs your back as you get comfortable. you nod your head as he turns on criminal minds, the two of you binge watching it for the rest of the day.
