Shawn Mendes Imagines

162- is my baby sick?

Request for @cozzymendes

I expected the sunlight to blind me as I woke up but it didn't. The curtains were drawn close and the doors were shut over which was unusual for Shawn as he was always up before me and liked to let the natural light into the room.

Shawn was actually still asleep, he was cuddled into me with his head resting in the crook of my neck and his arm draped across my stomach. I let out a yawn and rubbed my eyes before running my fingers through his disheveled hair. I then reached out for my phone and checked the time. 9:37.

"Baby," I whispered. No response. "Shawniepoo, wake up boo." He didn't make any noise but stirred slightly and cuddled into my harder. "Shawn, come on babe. Wake up." I ran my fingers through his hair, down his bare back and tickled him a little.

His slowly opened his eyes and lifted his head up. His eyes were red and blood shot, his cheeks were puffy and his skin was pale. It was only then I noticed a box of tissues on the bedside table, a glass of water and a box of cold and flu tablets.

"Morning, darling" he groaned as he stretched out and rolled on to his back. His voice was groggy and deeper than usual which was another sign he was sick.

"Is my baby sick?" I cooed but he shook his head.

"No."

"Shawn?" I said in a more serious tone. 

"Fine, I think I'm coming down with the flu." He said and I placed my hand onto his cheek and used to pad of my thumb to softly caress his cheek bone.

"Aw, my poor baby. Why didn't you wake me?"

"For that exact reasons. I didn't want you to baby me." He huffed but I just chuckled.

"I'm not babying you, I just want to look after you because i care for you and I love you." He smiled at my words and I slipped out of his bed and walked around to his side.

I kneeled down next to him and placed my hand on his forehead. His skin was hot but he had pulled the covers over him to keep himself warm which indicated a fever. "Oh, baby, you're boiling. I'll go and get you a cold compress for your head and I'll make you a smoothie to give you a little bit more energy." He nodded and I kissed his forehead before disappearing downstairs.

Once I returned, Shawn was still in the same position but Spongebob was on and the glass of water was now empty.

"Here you go." I said as I placed down the smoothie on the bedside table and placed the cold compress on his head. I then climbed into the bed next to him and wrapped my arms around his waist as I snuggled closer to him.

"y/n, I don't want to get you sick." He groaned.

"I don't care, if my favourite boy is sick I am going to cuddle him whether he likes it or not." He let out a chuckled which ended in a coughing fit. He sat up and I rubbed his back until he had regained his breathing and lay back down.

"Thank you, I love you darling." He mumbled and I kissed his chest.

"I love you too"

Hey guys, this a is a bit of a personal authors note just to keep you updated on my life and how it affected my updates.

As you know, there was a stage where I hardly ever updated and that was because at that stage in my life I was feel down on myself, not necessarily depressed but I was exhausted and tired and just generally unmotivated to do anything- even school.
Obviously, I did go to school because I had to but I found this final year extremely stressful which I feel caused me to feel like this. This all seem to have started just before winter break and afterwards.

But now that I have finished school, I am feeling so much happier. I feel a lot more motivated to write Imagines for you guys, I'm not exhausted anymore, my skin is clear, my life is generally just a lot better. I am spending more time with my friends and family and I just feel in a really good place so that's just a little explanation as to why I didn't update as much and why I have started updating a lot more recently and I hope to continue like this!!!!

Also, I have said this millions of times but I don't think I could ever explain how thankful I am for all of you who read this book because all of your comments make me laugh and smile so much and they really do encourage me to write these Imagines so a MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of you. I love you sooooo much❤️❤️

All my love,
                    K❤️
