Between the rain and teaching dance classes all day, it had been a long day for Brittany. By the time she stumbled through the door to her apartment, the exhaustion kicked in and she felt tired and grumpy.

Santana looked at Brittany. "Hey, babe. Welcome home."

Brittany didn't even manage a smile, walking straight past Santana and collapsing onto the couch. "Thanks."

Santana raised an eyebrow and scooted closer to Brittany. "Rough day?"

Brittany let out a long sigh. "I'm so tired, Santana. Like, all over tired. My whole body hurts. And my head hurts."

Santana frowned and put her hand to Brittany's forehead. "You feel warm."

"I'm fine." Brittany protested. "I just had a long day and need to sleep it off."

"The flu's going around." Santana said, shaking her head. "You can't just power through this. You need to take care of yourself."

Santana stood up and walked away. She pulled out the essentials from the medicine cabinet: a thermometer, ibuprofen, a glass of water before returning to Brittany.

"I'm really okay." Brittany insisted.

"I'm gonna make dinner and we can watch a movie or something while we eat." Santana decided.

"You don't have to take care of me." Brittany mumbled. "I'll be fine by tomorrow."

"Will cuddles and sweet lady kisses change your mind?" Santana offered.

Brittany smiled slightly.

"Get comfy." Santana commanded, giving Brittany a pillow and a blanket before handing her the thermometer. "And put this under your tongue while I start dinner."

"Okay, but I have to work on a-"

"It can wait until you're feeling better." Santana said.

Brittany gave in and put the thermometer under her tongue. "You're like... my personal nurse."

Santana rolled her eyes but smiled. "Yeah, I'm the nurse who doesn't take shit from anyone, including you."

Brittany let out a small laugh before taking the thermometer out of her mouth.

Santana took the thermometer from Brittany and looked at it. "101, Britt."

"So maybe I am sick." Brittany noted.

"Now will you let me take care of you?"

"Yeah."

"Santana." Brittany whispered.

"I'm awake." Santana replied. "What do you need?"

"You." Brittany answered. "Thank you."

Santana looked at Brittany.

"For being here." Brittany added. "And being my nurse."

"Anytime." Santana said.

"Hey, do you still have that sexy candy striper outfit?" Brittany wondered.

"Go back to sleep."
