How Cute. (Sherlock x OC!Mercury)

Sickness

     At about 3 AM, Mercury sat up and began to scream out in pain as tears brimmed in her eyes as she gripped her ears. Sherlock groaned softly and sat up. "Mercury...what;s wrong...?, he asked before noticing her red, pained filled face. She looked at him and pointed at her ears. Her ears were clogged and pain seared through them. Sherlock understood and got up, swiftly picking her up. "John!!", he yelled. John came running out. Mercury was sobbing heavily in pain. "Whats wrong?", John yelled, but noticed Mercury. John made Sherlock give him Mercury. John gently laid her on the couch, getting a heating pad, pain pills, and her stuffed shark, Carlos. Sherlock shushed her softly, his thumb wiping her cold tears. Mercury's trembling, cold hand gripped his wrist in pain. Sherlock frowned. "It's going to be okay, Mercury...shh.."

John rushed out with water and pills, sitting her up. He plopped the pills into her mouth and gave her small sips of water. Sherlock held her hand, his thumb rubbing circles on her hand. John stood and got a special type of oil to put in her ears. He did so, and then put cotton balls in them. She sobbed harder when her ear laid on the heating pad when John laid on the couch. No matter how hard they tried, Mercury wouldn't calm down.

When John handed her Carlos, she threw him down onto the ground. Mercury even started to thrash in pain. John grunted softly as he held her down. It hurt Sherlock and John to see her like this. Mercury soon gripped onto Carlos. She heaved for air as she sobbed. Sherlock soon let John go to bed, telling him that he'd take care of her. Mercury whimpered and looked at Sherlock. He kissed her head and sat on the ground next to the couch, her hand in his. She coughed some. Sherlock shushed her when she began to cry again but she soon drifted to sleep.

In the morning, he was sleeping on the floor next to her. John trudged out and sighed ,getting coffee. Sherlock was snoring softly. John sighed and shook Sherlock to wake him. "We aren't going any where today..", he yawned and looked at Mercury. Poor thing. Mercury didn't look like she was in good shape at all. Sherlock sighed and laid Mercury's head on his lap, staring down sadly at her. Mercury soon woke up with dazed eyes. "Morning...", Sherlock said softly, caressing her cheek. She whimpered some and shrugged, sitting up and gently holding onto his arm. Sherlock sighed. He felt bad for her. He honestly did...
