♥A Garroth x Reader Fanfiction♥

Sick Day (Part 2)

YOUR POV

I walked into the guard tower. I quickly climbed the ladder and went into mine and Garroth's room. I looked over at our bed. The covers were all messed up, but Garroth wasn't any where to be seen.

"Garroth?"

"I'm in here." Garroth's voice came from the direction of the bathroom.

I smiled, knowing why he was in there. I walked over to him and gently rubbed his back. "Hmm. Laurence is sick to. You probably got it from him..."

"Yeah, probably." Garroth stood up and walked back over to our bed.

"It's probably best that we don't go to Okasis this weekend. I don't want to get Zane sick..."

"No problem. Aphmau already sent a message to Okasis for us telling Zane we'll come down next weekend. It'll be a month after your actual birthday, but..."

Garroth smiled. "That's okay. I'm going to get some rest."

I nodded. "That's probably best."

Garroth laid down as I exited the room.

I sighed and walked over to Kawaii~Chan and Dante's room. I hesitantly knocked on their door.

"Hmm? Oh! (Y/n)~Senpai? Hi! Kawaii~Chan was just finishing feeding Nekoette~Tan."

"Oh, well I just wanted you to know that we aren't going to Okasis this weekend. Garroth is really sick and I don't want him getting Zane sick, so we'll go next weekend."

"Oh! Well make sure (Y/n)~Senpai doesn't get sick. We don't want Finn~Kun and Ophelia~Chan to get sick. Especially so close to (Y/n)~Senpai's due date."

I nodded.

"Does (y/n)~Senpai want to come talk to Kawaii~Chan? (Y/n)~Senpai and Kawaii~Chan haven't talked in a while. Kawaii~Chan has been so busy with Nekoette~Tan that she hasn't had any time for (Y/n)~Senpai!"

I smiled. "Aww, Kawaii~Chan! That's okay. Soon I'll be ignoring you because of the twins."

It came out of my mouth before I realized how rude I sounded.

"Oh my Irene. Kawaii~Chan I didn't mean-"

Kawaii~Chan started laughing.

"(Y/n)~Senpai! It's okay! Kawaii~Chan knows what you meant." Kawaii~Chan giggled.

I smiled. "So, how is Nekoette doing?"

"Nekoette~Tan is doing great! She tires Dante~Kun and Kawaii~Chan out a lot. Speaking of which, Dante~Kun is going to take a nap before he goes on patrol. Is it okay if Kawaii~Chan and (Y/n)~Senpai talk in (Y/n)~Senpai's room?"

"Garroth is resting. We can go downstairs though. Sorry, Dante!" I waved to him as he plopped down on their bed.

A muffled "It's okay..." came from him.

I smiled. I admired Dante. He's turning 20 next month. He has a daughter and a fiancé. That's so much responsibility on someone so young.

We snuck out and walked downstairs.

"Hmm..."

"(Y/n)~Senpai, who are you admiring now?"

"Huh?"

"(Y/n)~Senpai always gets that look in her eyes when she looks up to someone."

"Oh, it's your fiancé. Dante is amazing. He's 19, has a daughter and a fiancé. That's so much responsibility..."

Kawaii~Chan sighed. "(Y/n)~Senpai, stop. You and Garroth~Kun are just the same age. Garroth~Kun is 20 now and (Y/n)~Senpai is 19. (Y/n)~Senpai and Garroth~Kun are engaged and have the twins on the way. STOP IT (Y/N)~SENPAI! You two are amazing! If anything, (Y/n)~Senpai should be looking up to Garroth~Kun. They are almost married and she should be looking up to him. She should be depending on Garroth~Kun."

I sighed. Kawaii~Chan was, in a way, right. I guess I haven't been looking up to Garroth as my fiancé. I need to depend on him. He's my to-be-husband after all. I need to trust him with my life as well as my children's lives.

"I guess you're right."

Kawaii~Chan and I talked for a little bit more before I decided to check on Garroth.

I hesitated before quietly knocking on the door. I gently turned the knob and opened the door. As I opened the door, a light cracked through the room's darkness, shining on Garroth's face.

He squinted, trying to block the light out.

"Hey... Garroth?"

"Hmm?" Garroth turned over in bed, facing away from me and the light.

I stepped inside, closing the door gently behind me. I hesitantly walked towards the bed.

The bed dipped under my weight.

I sat down and gently brushed a few strands of blonde hair from Garroth's face.

"How are you feeling?" I asked, my voice just above a whisper.

"Better now that you're here."

Garroth grabbed my wrist and pulled me onto the bed completely. I stared into his eyes as we laid down next to each other. His hands moved from my wrist down to my waist.

"Garroth..."

"Hmm?"

"I'm kind of scared."

His grip on my waist tightened, in a protecting way; his eyes quickly hardened. "Of what?"

I sighed. "Of everything that's going on. I mean, the twins are due a little more than a week away and then we'll get married and..." my words drifted off as I started thinking.

Garroth's expression relaxed a bit and he pulled me in for a hug. We laid like that for a while before I drifted off to sleep in my fiancé's arms.
