You set down a warm bowl of soup along with a hot mug of tea, some toast, orange juice, & medicine onto a large tray. You carefully made your way down the hall & into the bedroom you shared with your boyfriend. You quietly opened the door & found your boyfriend sprawled out across the entire bed. The sheets were kicked off his body, tissues filled the small trash can by the bed & lined the carpet around it, & your boyfriend looked really uncomfortable as he slept. You frowned a little & walked over to him. He got sick late last night, coming home feeling like absolute shit after a whole day of filming. Thankfully, it was his last day so he didn't have to worry about anything other than getting some rest & feeling better.
You set the tray down on the small nightstand by the bed before you started to tidy up. You picked up all the tissues that missed the trash can & stuffed them in it before you dumped them all in a bag & tied it. You set the bag aside & grabbed another, tossing some empty medicine packets, cough drop wrappers, & other forms of trash into the bag. Once you finished cleaning, you went ahead & focused your attention on Evan. You cautiously grabbed the sheets & comforters, untangling him from them. He was shivering despite the fact that he had a sweater on with long pants & thick socks, so you gently covered him back up with the sheets. He awoke slightly from all the movement, his eyes peeking at you tiredly. You offered him a soft smile as you gently brushed some stray curls that stuck to his forehead away from his eyes, "Hey, you. You hungry?" he coughed slightly as he nodded. You gently slid a hand underneath him & helped him sit up. You grabbed the pillow from your side of the bed & put it against the headboard as he carefully leaned back, sighing as the cool pillow pressed against his hot skin. You pulled the sheets up to his stomach before you grabbed the tray & set it down in his lap. You sat next to him, combing your hand through his hair comfortingly as he slowly & carefully began to eat. You smiled as he ate, happy to see that he was hungry. Usually, when he was sick, he wouldn't eat anything, which worried you because he didn't get enough nutrients in his system, so seeing him eat now was a big relief.
He stopped suddenly & scrunched his nose. You immediately grabbed a tissue & held it to his nose just as he sneezed. You rubbed his back gently as he blew his nose into the tissue & you gently cleaned him up. He gave you a loving & thankful look as you did so, tossing it into the trash. You ruffled his hair a bit & kissed his cheek, checking his temperature, "Jesus, Evan. you're burning up," he frowned softly & coughed. You gave him his medicine & he took it before drinking the tea you made him.
He looked incredibly sick, his nose bright red & his face pale. His temperature was definitely above the standard body temperature & he looked so miserable. You wished you could take his place or at least make him feel better, but who knows how long he'll be sick.
When he finished his tea, you took the mug & tray away from his lap before fluffing his pillows & helping him lay back down. You tucked him in & kissed his forehead, "Get some rest, okay? I'll just be down the hall if you need anything," just as you turned to leave, Evan gently grabbed your hand, getting your attention. You turned back around to find him with a sad & desperate look on his face, making your heart nearly break.
"Stay?" he whispered hoarsely. He lost his voice & you always scolded him when he talked, but you'd make an exception this time.
"Of course," you smiled & carefully got into bed with him. You got in under the covers & wrapped your arms around him. He instantly laid his head on your chest & snuggled into you, his warm forehead pressing against your collarbone. You gently ran your fingers through his hair, earning a quiet noise of appreciation from him. You laughed a little at the cute sound & kissed his head. He hugged your waist gently as you felt him relax into your touch. You listened to the soft sounds of him wheezing as you continued ruffling his hair.
Eventually, he fell asleep & you were left alone with your thoughts. Of course, they all consisted of Evan. He had never been this sick before & you couldn't help but worry about him. You knew it was just a cold, but this strain seemed incredibly tough & miserable. You could only hope that he would get better soon.
You had laid in bed & allowed Evan to sleep on your chest for several hours, almost falling asleep yourself. He stirred softly against you, visibly distressed. You rubbed his back a bit to calm him down & he quickly relaxed. He slowly sat up, stretching a bit as his mind slowly began to clear up. He yawned before he flashed you a sweet smile, his dimple slightly showing. You laughed at his cuteness, "Did you sleep well?" he nodded, still smiling faintly as he reached over & took one of your hands in his. You squeezed his hand softly & pressed your other hand to his forehead, sighing with major relief as you realized his fever had gone down immensely. He nuzzled his head against your hand, making you laugh, "I swear you're more cuddly than a dog," he wheezed a little laugh, his face reddening a bit. You just laughed again & tousled his hair.
You got up & yawned, stretching a bit, "You hungry for some lunch? Because I'm famished."
He nodded & cleared his throat softly, "Will you help me shower first?" he said, his voice still scratchy & choppy.
"Of course," you went over to his closet & got some clean clothes & a big towel before you went into the bathroom to help him start the shower. You waited until the water was nice & cool before you moved aside, "There you go, nice & cool. I'll go make us some lunch while you get cleaned up."
He smiled & kissed your cheek, whispering quietly, "Thank you."
You smiled back & tousled his hair, "You're welcome," you left him to shower, still smiling to yourself. You made your way back to the kitchen & set to work on making lunch. As you were preparing the food, Evan finished up his shower & made his way into the kitchen. You were about to greet him but you were stopped by a sudden & strong sneeze.
"Bless you," Evan whispered.
"Thanks," after a moment, you paused & your eyes widened, looking up at Evan, "Oh no."
Evan smiled at you sheepishly, "Oops."
