37 - Flare

Peculiar with POTS (because I'm suffering with mine currently 🙏🙏)

~~~

Y/n carefully stepped out of the shower, a bit out of breath when she did and stumbled for a moment, steadying herself on the edge of the sink. She took a shaky breath in as she tried to take a deep breath, moving a little slower than usual as she dried off and changed. It would soon be time for dinner and she wanted to be on time, rushing out of the bathroom and feeling slightly dizzy when she did. Y/n shook her head slightly as she shrugged it off, making her way downstairs and ignoring how hard her heart felt in her chest.

"Darling, would you mind helping me set the table?" Y/n was drawn over to the kitchen when she heard her ymbryne, walking over and smiled with a small nod. Alma thanked her, taking a few plates over to the dining room, y/n taking the cups. She followed after her, maintaining the older woman's pace despite the raging beat of her heart that made her chest start to ache. The woman began setting the drinks down on the table, her hands starting to shake and she had to stop her pace when her ears began to ring, signaling that she needed to try sitting down. Alma glanced up briefly when she seen the woman suddenly stop moving, raising an eyebrow as she watched her closely, setting down the last plate she held.

"Y/n? Are you alright?"

The younger woman felt her mouth go numb, her vision starting to black out as she tried to decipher the woman's words so she could reply. But before she could, her hand slipped on the last glass she held, falling down on to the floor when her vision went black. The older woman was quick on her feet, her heels tapping a bit loudly when she rushed over to where she was laying. Y/n was still slightly awake, her eyes half open as her vision swam, blinking away the last few spots in her eyes. The younger woman tried to sit up, Miss Peregrine keeping a firm hold on her shoulders as she did.

"Are you okay?" She asks softly, her eye brows knit in slight worry and confusion as she looked over her for any injuries from her fall.

"I'm fine." Y/n says quietly with a smile, the ymbryne feeling how quickly her heart was beating. Alma seen her try to stand and quickly stood before she could, her hands holding her steady by her elbows as y/n tried to settle the shakiness in her hands.

"Are you having another flare?" The headmistress asks, noticing how pale she looked. The woman's eyes already have her the answer she needed and before y/n could speak, Miss Peregrine was already leading her out of the dining room, being mindful to slow her usual pace for her.

"You need to go sit down in the parlor for a while."

"I can join for dinner."

"No, I want you to rest until I bring you something to eat." She says, her tone a bit more firm as she carefully guided her to the hallway. "I'll get you some water as well."

"Alma, you don't need to."

"I know I don't need to, but I want to. Besides, I can't keep having you passing out, you may hit your head worse than a few minutes ago." She says, helping her take a seat on the couch. Y/n blushed slightly as the woman cupped her face in her hands, looking over her head to make sure she didn't hurt herself.

"I should be fine in an hour or so, I just need to drink something." Y/n replies, Alma glancing over her briefly, concern obvious in her features. "Don't worry, I've had these many times before. I'm just hoping this one doesn't last for another week." She sighs, leaning into her touch.

"You just need to rest, I'll handle things myself for today." The woman says softly, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I'll get you a drink and bring you dinner. Would you like water or tea?"

"Tea would be great." Y/n says, blinking the last few spots out of her vision. Alma sent her a gentle smile, leaving the parlor afterwards.

The younger woman moved further up against the couch, leaning against the back of it with a sigh. Glancing around the room, she tried to find a way to pass the time until after dinner and found a book sitting on the nightstand. Leaning over, she took it in her hands and read the cover, opening it up to read for a while. She lost track of time, only glancing over when she heard the familiar heels making their way to the parlor once more. Y/n seen the children leaving the dining room and assumed they had finished eating which gave them all about 20 minutes before the movie. The woman looked back when she seen the ravenette walk in, her pipe lit in one hand and a plate in the other as she walked over and sat down next to her. She handed the plate over which y/n gratefully took, blushing when her hands brushed by hers.

"Thank you."

"Of course, darling." She says softly, giving her a gentle kiss on her cheek before taking a puff of her pipe.
