Modern!Shay x Reader [ Being sick sucks ]

"Do you need anything? More soup? I got plenty of soup. More blankets?" Shay asked while sitting on the edge of my bed, shifting the tray that still had a half full bowl of soup. I shook my head, ripping a tissue from the box beside my bed and knocking it down to join the rest on the floor. "No I think...I think I'm full on chicken noodle soup for a while" I said, the snot building up in my nose made it just about near impossible to even breath through it not to mention it was raw from all the tissues and blowing my nose and shit.

"I kind of guessed that lassie" he said with a chuckle. Even with me being sick, his accent sent a shiver down my spine that made my whole body tingle. It's been hard these past few days, being so sick but wanting to cuddle and kiss my Irish boyfriend so badly. But I had gotten this horrible cold from my coworker and well I've been home sick ever since and it didn't seem to be letting up any time soon. It was disgusting and I hated every bit of it. I wanted to be better and actually make food that I want to eat without having to taste snot in every bite. I wanted to sleep through a whole night without having to toss and turn every time my fever broke and then came back. 

"How about I go and get you something else like....you like clam chowder right? I could get you that and some crackers to nibble on." He suggested as he moved the tray to the bed side table and sat back down next to me, reaching up to brush some hair from my face as he felt my forehead. Telling from his frown I guessed my fever felt a little warm still. At least I was getting better. Slowly but surely...really wish I could get better faster though. 

"No I'm fine I rather not eat another bite you know? I'm just tired right now" I mumbled, trying to bury myself in the already huge mass of blankets that Shay had piled on me. He chuckled, still stroking my cheeks with a soft smile on his face. "But if you are still offering some help...maybe go turn the heat up just a bit?" I said, gazing up at him from under the edge of the blanket. His face pulled into a smile before leaning down to kiss my head before getting to his feet. I smiled as he went to turn the heat up before snuggling down deeper into the covers. But like that I was out like a light

My dreams were almost always blank, but during the time I have been sick I've been having um....some fevered dreams

And not the kind that you would think. 

As in some really, REALLY hot dreams with a certain Irish man by my side. 

And he may or may not have been naked during a lot of them....

I swear I hate being sick...and being horny. Siorny....

Oh god please just take me now......

I awoke with a jolt when a hand was pressed into my stomach. I blinked my eyes a few times realizing the lights had been dimmed and the room was much warmer then when I was awake last time. And the said hand pressing into my stomach was Shay's. His body was snug against mine with one arm under my head and the other pressed into my body. His body was against mine like a shield,  his breathing brushed my neck. I didn't even think about how tired Shay was really. He had been up half the night last night just trying to get me to sleep. And I did wake him up a few times past nights because of my tossing and turning from my breaking fevers. 

Shay shifted when I did but the big brute stayed where he was. I grinned and carefully turned around in his arms so I could rest my head on his chest. He mumbled something in his sleep and a small smile tugged at his lips.

I sniffled softly as I closed my eyes once more to maybe slip back into a light sleep. To get as much rest as I could without having to worry about my coughing or clogged up nose. But it wasn't long before I felt shifting beneath me and Shay yawning to wake me up. "Sorry..." he grumbled as he rubbed his eye and look to me. "Did I wake you las?" he asked me but I shook my head and just buried my face into his shirt. "No I was awake long before you...." I muttered as he shifted so it was more comfortable for me. I grinned before closing my eyes again. His hand rubbed my shoulder and he hummed some song he probably heard on the radio from work.

Whatever it may be I didn't care. I closed my eyes and let the rumble of his chest lull me slowly into a light sleep that I could drift away to a dream that was just me and him. Shay and me sitting at a park just laughing and having fun. Just being normal and loving each other instead of me sitting in bed all stuffed up. That dream was the dream that I wanted to come true. Me and him being happy 

Of course that dream shattered when Shay started to cough.....
