Its just a fever | Darry Curtis

y/n pov :

As I opened my eyes and awake from my slumber , I looked around and saw Darry's empty bed. I tried to sit up but immediately layed back down when a pounding headache basically slapped me in the head. I groaned as I practically rolled out of bed and did my best attempt to walk down the stairs, which turned to stumbling over my own feet and almost tripping over nothing. Luckily the only person in the house was Soda and Darry. I stumbled over to the kitchen where I found Darry cooking breakfast. I walked over to him and hugged him from behind.

"Good morning hun" Darry says setting a pan down on the counter. You continue to keep your grip on him as he turns around to hug you back and kisses you on the forehead. "Someones clingy today, hm?" He turns around and continues to make breakfast. "Dar?" I say, my voice sounding hoarse. "Whats up" he replies. "I dont feel good, my throat hurts and I have a really bad headache." my hoarse voice replies. I knew by this point I was gonna loose my voice some point soon. "Stay here, I will be right back." After his sentence he practically ran to the bathroom and to the medicine cabinet. "Alright here, let me take your temperature." he says sticking a thermometer in my mouth.

After a few minutes of waiting it beeped and the tiny screen showed a temperature of 102.2 . "102.2" he shows me. "Here, lets get you back to bed. I dont want your fever getting any worse." he replies "Its just a fever Dar, I will be okay." Nevertheless, he helps me back up the stairs and into bed. "Im gonna stay home from work today so I can take care of you." I look up at him and say "You really dont have to take off Darry, you really need the money." he sits down on the bed next to me and strokes my hair. "Its okay, ill just work late one day, no worries." he stands up and before leaving the room asks "Do you need anything before I go and finish breakfast?" I think of what I need before replying. "Can you get me and ice pack and tea please?" I say removing a blanket from my sweating body. "Of course honey, give me about 15, 20 minutes ish and i'll be right up." he smiles and shuts the door lightly.

Darry pov :

As I shut the door to my room and walked downstairs to go and finish breakfast I noticed the whole gang in the living room chatting and watching tv. "Hey Darry, wheres y/n?" Johnny questions. "When did they get here" I thought to myself "Yeah, isn't she always up super early with you?" Ponyboy adds. "Shes sick, she is in my room right now. If you want to see her I would suggest going in about an hour or two. I want her to get some rest." I reply walking into the kitchen. "Lookie hear fellas. We got doctor Darrel Curtis on stand by!" Two-bit cackles. I shake my head as I hear laughter and continue to make breakfast.

About 15 minutes later im finished and put some on a plate for y/n and set the rest of it on the table for the gang to eat. "Breakfast is ready!" I hollered from the kitchen. As the gang started to file in through the living room I start to make the tea that y/n requested, her voice did sound pretty bad and from past experiences she is pretty prone to loosing her voice. I finish making the tea and pour it into a cup before reaching into the medicine cabinet to grab some cough drops and asprin. I put them into a little container before picking everything up and walking up the stairs to my room where y/n sleeps.

I opened the door and set everything on the nightstand beside me. I sat down on the bed as I looked over at her. She fell asleep while she was waiting, cute. I slowly started to wake her up by caressing her arm.

y/n pov :

I woke up feeling hot and sweaty as I felt a pair of hands caressing my arm. "y/n, time to wake up baby. I have your food." I open my eyes to see Darry sitting on the bed next to me. I wrap my arms around his chest and he gives me a peck on my temple. "Come on lets take your medicine." He sits up and gives me the asprin and tea. I swallow the pills and drink the tea to wash it down. "I got you some cough drops for your throat for when your done with your breakfast." He smiles "Thank you Darry" I say with a whisper. "No problem hun"

Me and Darry are in his room chatting, well mostly me just listening and giving nodd and facial expressions while I eat. After I was done Darry took my plate downstairs to the sink and went to get me a water bottle as I changed into a tank top and shorts since, my fever was really getting to me. Darry came back up the stairs to find me lying in bed with an ice pack on my head with all the windows open, a fan blowing on me and all the blankets to the side of me. He handed me my water bottle and watched me take a sip of it before climbing into bed with me. He motioned for me to go and lay with him

I crawled ontop of his chest and layed my head onto his stomach, I could feel his abs beneath his shirt. Darry was dragging his nails softly against my back as he was telling me a story from his work. Again I just continued to nod my head in response. A couple minutes later I felt myself dozing off in Darry's arms.

*6 hour time skip*

I woke up and the only thing on my mind was "holy shit im freezing" i must have fell asleep with the ice pack on. I it didn't help I was in a tank top, shorts, had a fan blowing directly on me, and all the windows were open. I got up and changed into a hoodie, a pair of sweatpants, and put some socks on. I shut the windows and turned the fan off before heading downstairs. My headache has gotten a lot better.

It was about 3:47 pm which meant most of the gang would probably be at the house. I walked down the stairs to see everyone either in the kitchen or in the living room watching tv. "Hey, there she is!" Two-bit yelled as he saw me heading towards the couch to go sit down. "Hey y/n?" Ponyboy asks "Whats up" I whisper since, my voice is basically gone. "How come your wearing a hoodie and sweatpants when its like 70 degrees out?" He questions. I just shrugged and said "Cold." Hopefully that will get the point across. After a few minutes of listening to the gang bickering about god knows what Darry walks in with soda and steve. "Hey, your awake." Darry put his keys on the counter and walked over to me on the couch and sat down next to me

I spent the evening with the gang and even though I was sick,

It was still amazing that I got to be with my family.
