"Beautiful" (Omegaverse Michael x Noah)

~57~ "Sick."

~Noah~
I managed to convince Michael to come inside eventually. He passed out the minute he hit the mattress, just barely staying awake for enough time to take his uncomfortable jeans off.

Throughout the night he was holding me so tight I pratically couldn't breathe. He also continuously asked for more blankets, I didn't mind. But he eventually ended up with the comforter, two throw blankets, and another extra comforter on him. As well as he was curled up in a ball as if he was still somehow cold. Yet, his body was hot to the touch.

When I woke up in the morning, I had kicked off all the blankets off me, getting enough warmth from Michael's body against me. It was 7 when Willow started crying again, I carefully got out of bed, making sure not to wake him up.

Even after feeding Willow, at around 8, he wasn't up yet. I brought Willow to the living room and let her play on the floor mat with Maisie, sitting down on the ground with her.

"You and Michael still fighting?" Lily asked, her and Posi were lying on the couch.

"No, he's just sleeping." I quickly grabbed Willow after she almost fell down while trying to stay standing up. She then started crying, either upset that she almost fell, or upset that I stopped her from falling. "You're okay, sweetheart." I kissed her head, she sniffles as her ears fell down and I helped her back up to her feet, holding her so she stayed up.

Almost two hours passed, at 10:30, I decided to go check on him again, leaving Willow with Posi and Maisie to play. The room was dark and he still laid on the bed, wrapped up in all his blankets. I walked up to the bed and gently pushed his sprawled out hair away from his face. "Hey, love.." I quietly said, he mumbled something and rolled over, curling up. "You're sick, huh?" I sat on the edge of the bed. He huffed and flicked his tail, nodding.

"It's very tempting to say "I told you so" right now." I chuckled, he just glared at me as he peaked out from the covers. "Sorry, sorry."
He groggily sat up, stretching as he bent his knees.
"I'll head down to the store and get you some medicine, okay?" I held his chin, he nodded.

~Michael~
Noah pulled his hand away and stood up, grabbing his coat. I was so dizzy I could barely focus on what he was doing. The moment he left the room I just flopped back down onto my back and groaned.

Everything for my nest was in the wash, as much as I was unhappy about it. And I've tried like every spot for a nest possible, I didn't really love any of them. I wanna be hidden, everywhere in the room was so open.

I stood up, standing still for a second until the dizzy
feeling wore off slightly, and walked into the closet.
While I had practically taken every one of Noah's shirts and blankets, and they were all in the wash, I hoped there was at least a few that weren't.

I had a feeling that he'd be upset or at least annoyed if I took anymore, so I didn't. But, above the racks of clothes were shelves. I spotted a box. Maybe there was some old clothes in there he didn't need?

It was too high for me to get up too. I could wait until Noah gets back. Or, I could just climb it. It wasn't very high and the racks seemed sturdy enough. Hm.

My head was pounding, but my dizziness was gone. I don't feel weak. I can do whatever I want, I'm not scared of anything, fuck this.

I grabbed onto the top rack and pulled myself up, standing on the bottom rack while I grabbed the box.
It was heavier than I expected, I attempted to pull it off the shelf but it slipped from my hands and crashed to the floor. Suddenly as I was about to slip, someone grabbed my waist, keeping me from falling.
