Yoongi's POV

"You're not going anywhere." I finished locking the door.

Aria instantly fell onto the bed.

"Yoongiiii~ I'm tired." Her voice was glazed with exhaustion.

"Are you sure about that my Sunshine?" I slid onto the bed with her.

"I'm weally sowwy Yoongi!" She pouted like a toddler.

"Come on..." I whispered into her ear as I slid beneath the covers with her.

"My head hurts."

"Sure..."

"No. I'm serious Yoongi. I think I'm getting sick." Her voice was getting a bit raspy and she spoke softer.

I placed my hand on her forehead and she was a bit warm. As much as I wanted to, her health is more important to me. I'll let her sleep.

"Okay then." I placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "Goodnight." I said softly before turning of the lamp on her bedside table.

"Goodnight."

******

"Yoongiii~...."

"Mhmm~..."

"Are you asleep?"

"Well not anymore. Are you okay?"

"I'm freezing."

"You're burning!" I felt her body temperature. "Get out from under the covers!"

"But I'm cold!"

"You'll increase your temperature!" I pulled away the blanket from her.

"Yoooonggiiiii!" She tried to pull back the blanket but failed with her weakened state.

I turned on the lamp as she shielded her eyes.

"I'm going to get some pills for you to take. Okay? Stay here. And don't you dare touch the blanket!"

"My blankie!"

"Ariiiii! No! You're getting a fever! No. Blankets!"

She was mad but she needed to get better. I don't want her to get any worse than she already is. There must have been something in the air at the crime scene that got to her. She'll be fine. Right? I got up and went to the bathroom cabinet, getting the pills. When I returned to the bedroom, Aria was coughing. A lot. Almost as if she was choking.

When did she get this sick!?

I rushed over to her, knocking her back. She looked so weak.

"Take these." I handed her two pills.

"I can't." She shook her head.

"Why not?"

"They're to big." She wined. "I'll choke."

"What if I crush it? And put it in water? Would you drink it?"

"But then it'll taste bad!"

"What about if I put it in juice? Would that be better?"

She nodded. I ran down stairs quickly to the kitchen and used the back of a spoon to crush her tablets. I got some fruit punch juice front the fridge and poured it out in a glass, mixing in the crushed pills. I made my way back to Aria.

"Okay here you- And you're asleep."

She needs to take this. I don't want her to get sick.

"Ari~ Wake up." I whispered, shaking her slightly.
