Hockey Imagines 2 [On Hold]

Mikkel Boedker ~ SJS

"Why are you up so early?" (510 words)

---

"Oh my god, my throat is killing me," Mikkel grumbled to himself as he found himself awake during the middle of the night. Quietly, he shifted out of bed and carefully tiptoed to the door and left for the kitchen, which was where the medicine was.

Once he reached the bottom of the stairs, he headed towards the cabinet where the medicine shelf was and started to search through them, looking for the pain reliever.

"Why is it so hard to find?" Mikkel mumbled as he turned the bottle around to check the label, but couldn't find it.

"Why on earth, are you up so early, Mikkel?" Y/N groaned as she observed her boyfriend trying to look for the medicine.

"I don't feel well and I woke up a few minutes with my throat hurting..." Mikkel cleared his throat, which he thought felt a tad dry.

Y/N nodded her head and walked up to where Mikkel was and grabbed the pain reliever from the lowest shelf before handing it to him. "I think you're looking for these..."

Mikkel nodded his head as his way to say 'thank-you'. He poured himself a glass of water and swallowed the pill and drank the water afterward, not liking the taste.

"Does it hurt to talk?" Y/N asked as she boiled some water to make him tea, which she thought could help out with his sore throat. Mikkel nodded his head, not wanting to talk more.

After the water boiled, she dropped a bag of peppermint tea into the cup of warm water and waited for it to steep. "Ok, you took the pain reliever and I'll give you the tea. We'll see how you're doing in the morning and from there, I'll say if you need to go to the doctor's office or not."

Once again, Mikkel nodded his head and pointed towards the cup of tea. Y/N handed him the cup, which he started to gulp down immediately.

After he finished the tea, he set it back down on the counter and cleared his throat. "It feels slightly better, but it still hurts a lot and I can kind of talk."

"You want some cough drops to help soothe the throat pain?" Y/N asked him generously, but he politely declined the offer.

"I'm actually getting kind of sleepy," Mikkel answered in a drowsy voice as he opened his half-asleep eyes.

"Alright then, we'll head back up to bed." Y/N nodded her head and led the way up to the bedroom.

"I appreciate you for doing this," Mikkel spoke in a gruff voice as he got into a comfortable sleeping position, "I love you so much."

"I love you too, Mikkel," she kissed him on the cheek before she started to close her eyes, "goodnight."
