~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You coughed loudly once again and took another sip of water. That is the only that's staying down right now.
You had a fever of 103.6, a stuffy nose, a sore throat, you're eyes were dried and you bundled up in your favorite blanket. You didn't feel like getting up at all so you had a bowl beside the couch and was flipping through the channels.
Nothing good was on so you turned on a music channel to play soft jazz while you tried to sleep. No help. A pounding headache then came on. You groaned.
Then your phone rang and you groaned louder. You shut your eyes, hoping it would stop. You sighed in relief when it did.
Until it rang again.
You groaned again and reached for it. You finally found it and answered it without looking. "Whoever you are, you're a dead person whenever I see you." you said.
"Y/N?" You sighed as you realized it was Bruce. "Are you alright?"
"Yes. No. I don't know. I think I'm sick."
You heard things being tossed about and scrunched up your eyebrows. "Yes, thank you." he muttered. "Alright, I just got to your apartment. I'm coming up now. I love you." And hung up.
You looked at the phone confused and then heard your door being unlocked. Bruce came in with his bag and sat beside you with a frown. He put his hand on your forehead and then cheek. "You're burning up."
You put your hand over his and smiled at him. "I didn't know you were coming home today." you softly said.
He smiled and rubbed his thumb over your cheek. "I was gonna surprise you but then you told me you were sick as I was getting out of the car."
You chuckled but it turned into a coughing fit. He ran to get some water and ran back. You took it and drank it greedily. He sat back down as you finished and laid back. He took some medicine out his bag and put it in a little cup.
You took the medicine that he poured and drank it. You gagged and drank some more water. After that, he took your temperature and it read 103.9. "It was 103.6 earlier."
"The medicine should help it go down. You should also take a warm bath." He then helped you up and down the hall, grabbing a towel on the way.
You stood on the toilet seat, shivering. He started the bath water and then helped you out of your clothes. You stepped in the tub and he started to wash your hair and body, though he let you wash some parts.
Then he helped you out and wrapped the towel around you. He guides you to your room and got some pajamas. After getting dressed, he made soup. As you were eating, you leaned against him as he gently brushed your hair.
You smiled in content. "Thank you Bruce. I love you."
He smiled and kissed your forehead. "I love you too."
