Family Tides (GilxOC)

9

(A/N- The picture in the media is what Carmalita's dorm room looks like. Well, her bed anyway, lol)

"She has food poisoning, I'm not sure from what, but it's not too serious. She just needs to rest for a few days,"

After hearing the nurse's words, Gil looked over Camralita. She was alseep, her complexion still pale.

"Just make sure she gets a lot of fluids in her," The nurse stated before leaving.

Porter looked at Gil as the door shut. He felt like an ass, mostly because he was an ass.

He gave her food poisoning for crying out loud!

"I'll um...see you later," He said. Gil nodded, still looking at Carmalita.

"Yeah... see ya,"

-

A little after Porter keft, Carmalita began to stir. Gil watched her face scrunch up and she began to shift around.

He quickly went to her side, gently striking her hair out of her face. "Shh, Pearl.... you're ok,"

She gripped his arm, still asleep. He smiled softly, getting into the bed with her. She curled into him and gripped his shirt tightly, slowly calming down.

He kissed her warm forehead, wrapping his arms around her. "You're ok,"

-----

"Porter, relax. She's fine!,"

Porter shook his head, looking at his sister. "No. She's not, Paige. She fucking passed out today. She could have hit her head or something! She could have died!,"

Paige sighed. "Just... I'll start working on the antidote, just do this last step. I promise, after that, we'll stop,"

He ran a hand through his hair. "Fine. But if anything worse happens to her, I'm never speaking to you again,"

Paige looked a little shocked at his words, but nodded nonetheless.

"Got it,"

-----

Carmalita suddenly bolted upright, scaring the living shit out of Gil.

She clutched her firehead, groaning as he started to throb.

Getting over his fright, Gil gently grabbed her shoulders and pulled her back into him. She leaned into him, then looked up at him.

"Wh-What happened?,"

"You got food poisoning and passed out at lunch. Scared the crap out of me and Porter," He smiled slightly.

She smiled weakly, trying to force her eyes to stay open.

"Oh yeah.... what about tomorrow?,"

Gil shook his head. "You're not going anywhere for the next few days, and either am I," He kissed her forehead.

"B-But Porter was really excited about ot... you should go a-at least,"

He hesitated. "I can't just leave you by yourself,"

"I'll get Evie to c-come over. Just go, it'll o-only be for a few hours,"

He bit his lip, then sighed.

"Alright, I'll go. But I'm gonna call and check in like.... every five minutes," He joked.

She laughed, wrapping her arms around him as best as she could.

He watched as her eyes began to flutter shut and he kissed her forehead again, tracing imaginary shapes on her shoulder.

"Goodnight, Pearl,"

She hummed in response, already half asleep.

Word Count- 473.

Anyone wanna guess why he calls her Pearl?

And prepare yourselves, because there is a huge thing coming up! It's super gay and it's gonna leave you guys squealing!
