Reader x Liam - You're Sick

Your Pov
You wake up, the sunlight shining through the windows. Ugh, you groan as you roll over towards Liam. Your head is pounding, like there's hammers banging against your skull. The sun isn't helping either. You look at Liam and smile slightly. He's sleeping peacefully, probably dreaming about the band. You don't want to wake him, so you quietly get out of bed and walk downstairs to get a pain pill and after swallowing it with a glass of water, you sit on the couch.
Hopefully the pill will help you sleep. You lie down and fall into a restless sleep.
You wake up and feel even worse than before. Now your stomach hurts and you feel nauseous and clammy. You try to sit up, but pause in place when everything tilts around you.
'Why am I sick?' You wonder as your dizzy spell passes for now. You stand up slowly and walk into the kitchen you share with Liam and check the time. 9:04. You know Liam won't be up for at least another 15 minutes, because he likes to sleep later than when he's on tour. You stand at the kitchen counter and put some bread in the toaster. Maybe you can keep that down. Once it's finished, you put it on a plate and walk over to the island. Once you've finished your toast, you put the plate in the sink and hear Liam coming down from the bedroom. He smiles when he sees you.
"Good morning, babe. Did you sleep well?" He asks you as you shake your head.
"No. I woke up with a pounding headache and came downstairs to get a pain pill, then tried to sleep on the couch, but it didn't help." You leave out the part about your nausea and dizziness as you walk into the living room and sit in his lap.
"You could've woken me up, I would've understood, honey." He tells you. "I don't like seeing you ill." He kisses your forehead as you close your eyes, leaning back into his chest.

Your stomach has been hurting for the past few minutes and you just want it to go away. You and Liam have been watching a movie; Toy Story, his favorite. You reposition in his lap and he must've noticed you're uncomfortable because he looks down at you from the movie.
"Hey, babe, you okay?"
"Yeah, my stomach just hurts, that's all." You say as he nods.
"Okay, tell me if it gets any worse." He places his hands over your stomach, rubbing small circles against it.
"Mhm." You reply, already feeling the effects of his warm hands working on your stomach.
~~~
Apparently you fell asleep on Liam's lap because the next thing you know, the tv is off and you are in your bed. You check the alarm clock on your nightstand and see it's 2:09 p.m. Then the pain comes back. Your stomach is clenching and rolling and your headache is back, this time worse than ever.
It's so bad you squeeze your eyes shut and press your hand into your stomach as tears roll down your face onto your pillow. Liam must've heard you crying and woke up because now he's wrapping his arms around you.
"Baby, shh..what's hurting?" He asks, so much worry in his eyes, as more of your tears fall.
"My h-head and s-stomach hurt so bad." You whisper as he wipes your tears with his thumbs.
"I'm going to go get you some medicine from downstairs and I'll be back in two seconds. Okay?"
"Okay, thanks." You reply weakly. He walks downstairs and then a sudden wave of nausea moves bile up your throat. You get out of bed as fast as you can, seeing as you're sick, and stumble your way to the bathroom. You quickly lift the lid and then release the partly digested toast from your stomach along with acid. Your stomach is cramping as you throw up, seeing white from the pain. Liam comes walking up the stairs and into the bathroom just as another bout of puke makes its way up your throat and into the toilet, causing you to squeeze your eyes shut.
"Babe, I'm sorry." He tells you as he sets the glass and pill down and pulls your hair off your neck. "It's okay, just let it all out. You'll feel better after." After you finish puking and dry heaving for ten minutes, you sit back against Liam's chest, weak and exhausted from being sick.
"Sweetheart let's go to the bed, 'kay? You'll feel better after some sleep." Liam slowly lifts you off the floor and walks you over the your bed, tucking you under the covers.
"Sleep well, baby. I love you."
"I love you too, Li. Thanks for taking care of me." You say as you lay your head on your pillow and close your eyes.
"Anytime, my beautiful girlfriend. Anytime." He tells you as he sings 'You and I' until you fall into a deep sleep, waking up feeling much better and enjoying Liam's last day off just cuddling and watching movies on the couch.
