Fairytail Drabbles

Chapter 58: Stingue + 'Sick'

Sting was careful to be quiet as he crept into their bedroom, his eyes softening as he eyed the shivering ball in the middle of the bed, the tufts of messy black hair sticking out from the duvet the only bit of his mate that he could see. They had both been up all night, Rogue’s temperature skyrocketing and his stomach sending him fleeing to the bathroom every half hour or so until about six in the morning when his stomach finally seemed to have settled a little.

“Rogue,” he called softly as he settled on the edge of the bed, waiting patiently as the other Dragon-slayer whined under his breath before slowly emerging from the covers to peer up at him and Sting smiled softly as he reached out to brush his fingers across his partner’s forehead, relieved to feel the fever was still going down.

“Sting…cuddle,” Rogue couldn’t be bothered with proper words at the moment, he felt better than he had, but all he wanted to do was curl up with his mate and sleep until it had gone away completely and he stared pleadingly at the blond. Sting had never had any intention of denying him anything, and with gentle fingers he pulled the covers away just enough to allow him to slip back into bed, immediately curling himself around Rogue as the Shadow mage burrowed against him with a contented sigh.
