Seventeen One Shots

Love Shower (Vernon)

As requested by itsjustmaryam

You turned off your phone and covered yourself up with your blanket. It felt very cold and you were sneezing very badly, and you also had a very bad cough too. Your phone has been ringing non-stop since morning, both texts and phone calls spamming the same question from your friends 'where are you?'. It was very rare of you to get a fever and you had to go to university today but you didn't even have the power to. What's worse, you lived alone, dorm life...which means no food. Sh*t right?

You were very hungry and positively, there were no food at all in the refrigerator since you hardly ever buy any food plus, you were too lazy to check anyways. 

'Better spend the rest of the day sleeping then' You thought. Just when you were about to close your eyes, the bell rang multiple times. 

"Oh lord," You cursed and walked lazily to the door. "Who is it?" You asked and opened the door. To your surprise, there was Vernon, holding up a whole plastic bag full of food and medicine. 

You let him enter and he sat on the sofa, placing the things he bought on the table. He looked angry for a second or was it just your imagination? He didn't speak at all, all he did was just present to you the stuff he bought. 

"Umm...Vernon, are you mad at me?" You asked. He shook his head, his mouth sulking. You've been dating Vernon for almost 3 years and those were the years you had the happiest moment of your life, you knew him inside and out. You also typically knew when he was mad, he would sulk like a little kid.

You shrugged and pretended to go back to sleep when Vernon held your wrist. "Eat your medicine first," He said, his tone was strict. What made him so pissed?

Again, you asked, "Vernon, are you mad at me?".

He tried to smile but failed. "I can't be mad at you when I'm supposed to! I told you it was a bad idea to work despite the cold weather, now look at you all sick. Most importantly, you didn't even tell me! I'm your boyfriend for goodness sake, please tell me first, you're going to worry me to death...and yet I can't bring myself to be mad at you." He took one deep breath and gave you a hug while caressing you. 

"I'm sorry," You apologized. "Are you really?" He whispered. "Yeah," You replied.

Vernon was determined to take care of you for the whole day, that's what he said himself. He told you to sleep while he made some food.

"Hey Vernon," You said to him. "Don't burn the kitchen." You could hear Vernon replied with 'I won't ' 

You slept for three hours and woke up to see a plate of food he made. Yet he forgot to bring you water. So you had to get it yourself. 

The kitchen (as expected) looked like a disaster, apparently Vernon had to go somewhere very urgent and left you with the dirty dishes. 

You saw a bunch of papers on the kitchen table. Why were there papers?

Turns out, it was different instructions on how to cook the food he was making. Such a hardworking boyfriend. You felt somehow touched.

It was very silent, you sort of wish Vernon had accompanied you to eat but you also knew that he had other much more important matters to settle. 

He came back around 10 minutes after you finished eating. He was sweating all over. 'He ran here '

"Hey...how are you feeling?" He asked and measured your temperature. "Not quite well," You replied. He gave you a couple more medicines and promised to keep being by your side until you are completely healed. 

Pretty much after that, he cleaned the whole house starting from the dishes to the messy pile of tissues. 

You couldn't go back to sleep so you decided to watch some TV with Vernon. 

He rolled you up with a blanket and made sure you stayed warm. Then, he hugged you from the back and most of the time. It was just a cuddling session. 

"I love you," He whispered for the millionth time. "I know," You answered back, focusing on the movie. 

Vernon took some popcorn and hid it so you wouldn't notice it, eventually...you did. 

"Gimme some," You said to him. "Will not," He replied. You sulked. "Cute," Vernon said and awarded you with a peck. 

"You know...you'll be a good husband one day," You said bluntly. Vernon looked down, didn't reply. His cheeks were red. 

"Are you blushing?" You teased. "That was so random....," Vernon shook his head. 

After movie time was over, you went to sleep. Vernon's arms were wrapped around you and you were face to face with his chest. It was the most comfortable position, it felt warm.

He placed his chin on your head and by the tone of his voice you can tell that he was...really, really sad.  

"Get well soon...please." He mumbled and kissed you on the lips.

-Next morning-

You woke up feeling very refreshed and healthy. You poked Vernon's cheeks and admired the beauty of how he looked when he's still asleep. 

You made a warm drink for yourself and morning coffee for Vernon. When you got back to the room, Vernon was already sitting down on the bed, ruffling his messy hair and yawning. He still looked gorgeous. 

"____," He said. "I don't feel good." Then, he coughed. 

"Oh no," You both said in sync. "___, I might be sick." He looked at you apologetically. You kissed his cheeks. "Right then...that means o coffee for you," You said and took away the cup in his hands. He grumbled like a little child but then surrendered. 

"I'll be in your care," Vernon said and dozed off to sleep on your lap. You stroked his hair. "Geez, such a kid."

-THE END-
