A/N: I have a headcannon that Winter is just a massive baby when he's sick so I hope you enjoy this one, I just thought of this and thought it would be cute, I'm a bit obsessed with happy them right now and I think we all need it.

Prompt: Winter is sick, Autumn takes care of him
Words:1147

"ACHOO" Winter sneezed for the one thousandth time that day. Not really, but it definitely felt like it and he definitely did let Autumn know that this was the worst sickness in the whole world in which Autumn would reply "I know my dear" quite sarcastically.

"Autumn!" He called out from their bed, she was currently downstairs, Winter had decided they needed to be apart because he didn't want to make her sick, with the common cold, but still he would be making her sick. Although he didn't want to make her ill he still needed his girl. "Autumn! Darling!" He heard her walk up the stairs. "Yes my dear" she said, leaning against the bedroom door frame crossing her arms. This had been maybe the sixth time she had been called upstairs by her sick love, she had to laugh a bit at how dramatic he was but he did look very sweet all wrapped up in his comfy clothes with his messy hair "I need you" he whined, she looked at him and smirked raising an eyebrow, "My love you know how much I love you but your legs aren't broken, you have the cold you can come downstairs"

He groaned dramatically and autumn laughed "my sweet" he was interrupted by a cough "I'm hungry". She looked at him mouth agape by what he was hinting at her to do "you know where the kitchen is, once again you have the cold not memory loss" he looked at her with big wide eyes like he was pleading with her. "Oh fine, what do you want" she gave into him, she had to, she couldn't say no to that face. "Soup please, thank you my love"

She went back to the kitchen to heat up his soup and could still hear him coughing and sneezing from their bedroom. She smiled and rolled her eyes, man gets the common cold and he's acting like it's life or death. She wouldn't ever say it out loud but she did like caring for him, he didn't get sick often so Aut did enjoy letting him relax when he did, she liked the fact that he relied on her and knew he felt safe being with her and be able to count on her. She poured the bowls of soup, grabbing on for herself, some water and his medicines and headed back upstairs.

Her boy was half asleep in bed and she did start to feel sorry for him, he did look rough. His hair was all pushed back and not in his usual curtain style. He had no glasses on which still looked strange to autumn, he needed them all the time so the only time she really saw him without them was in bed or the shower. He put them back on when he noticed her enter the room "ah, thank you my love" he sniffed, Autumn got closer to the bed "no no no stay over there I'm not make you sick"

She glared at him "oh stop that I know you want a cuddle as much as I do", no one outside of there home was to ever know how much Autumn and Winter love to cuddle, especially Marjorie,
Autumn has no doubt she would probably explode with excitement if she knew how much physical contact her and Winter have at home. They sat next to each other and ate their soup, Winter cough and sneezing and complaining the whole time about how unwell he was. His girlfriend was feeling sorry for him, she didn't like seeing him so run down and feeling horrible. "I'm sorry I haven't payed you much attention sweet girl" Winter said blowing another spoonful of soup and putting it in his mouth. "What? Don't be silly it's okay you haven't felt good"

Winter looked up at her with big sorry eyes and she could tell they were filling up with tears, she put her bowl down and cupped his face with one hand, lightly scratching the stubble that had started to form on his chin. "Oh my darling don't worry, don't get yourself annoyed about it, I've been fine and I've liked taking care of you" she said trying to comfort her love. "I've just felt a bit useless this week and I don't want you to think I haven't cared about you as much because I always care about you" he lent into the touch of his hand on her chin. "Winter it's okay you're allowed to be unwell and I've been fine I promise" she went to give him a kiss but he pulled away.

She glared at him, "I don't care if your germs make me sick I've just missed your kisses" he smiled and her and gave her a small kiss, this wasn't enough for her so she gave him another one which turned into a deep passionate kiss. It had been two days since she had last done this as he wouldn't let her. Autumn loved the feeling of him kissing her, she always had even after the first time they did it, she adores how he feels against her. They had to pull away from each other before getting too excited, Winter was sick after all.

The day dragged in from there they spent the rest of the afternoon, watching (and criticising) trashy tv shows, just wrapped up together in their own little world. Winter had taken a few naps and had fallen asleep to Autumn running her fingers through his hair. Autumn had worked out pretty early on in their relationship that this is what calmed him down or made him relax and knew just the right spots to scratch her nails over to make him melt.

He had just woke up from another quick nap and lay there just watching her, feeling her hand still in his hair. "Hello my darling" she said softly kissing him on the head "it's getting quite late you'll maybe wanna wait until it's actually dark to go back to sleep, I don't want you being awake all night" he nodded eyes still heavy from being so tired. He sat up and leant over to face Autumn, giving her another sweet kiss on the lips. "Thank you for looking after me my darling,  I love you"
He said feeling very grateful for his girl all the time but especially in times of need. "It's no problem at all my dear. I-I-I lo- ACHOO". She was interrupted by her own sneeze. She looked at winter and they both started to laugh, he knew this would happen. She put her head down on his shoulder.

"I told you not to come near me my sweet, looks like we're stuck in here for another few days"

"As long as I'm with you my darling, I could stay here forever."

A/N I'm honestly not a big fan of this one but two chapters in one day, I'm spoiling you all! One of my main headcannons for Autumn is that she loves Winters hair especially when it's messy so I always try to mention her hands in his hair where I can fit it in.
I also just want to say thank you for everyone who is supporting this little project, thank you for all the comments and votes and views I really appreciated. I hope you enjoyed this chapter thank you for reading
