Stay ⇒ Chris Evans

0.60 || Sick days

Filming Marvels newest installment had gone as smoothly as Scarlett expected. While filming, she had befriended both Anthony and Sebastian. The two were now great friends of her and Chris.

Now she was back at home in the house she shared with her three other roommates.

Scarlett would have loved to say she felt amazing and energized, but she'd be lying.

Scarlett was tangled in her sheets shivering away, having recently caught a cold. She and Chris had hung out together frequently but today she had to cancel all their plans, which consisted of laser tag and cuddles at Chris's place, because of a 'stupid' cold. He was disappointed and she felt bad, not as bad as she usually would because she was the one suffering, but bad.

Having finally felt at peace she began to doze off, however a voice interrupted her 'graceful' slumber.

"Hey Margo you ready to leave?" Asked a very familiar voice.

Dave? No it couldn't be him. Matt! No Matt is visiting his relatives out in New Jersey.

"Almost! Have I ever told you you were my favorite Johansson?" Margot replied wistfully, a smile evident on her face.

Then it hit her. The voice belonged to Chris. Not her Chris, as in her boyfriend Chris, her brother.

"Maybe once or twice," he responded.

"Let's go before Scarlett gets home, I don't want her finding out about us just yet," Margot rushed the two of them out of the hallway before heading outside.

Scarlett wondered what she meant by 'before Scarlett gets home' and then she remembered that as far as Margot knew, she was out with Chris. Her need for every detail the previous day made much more sense, she had been asking Scarlett all about what she was going to do the next day.

Scarlett heard footsteps approaching her door and silently sighed, Am I ever gonna get to sleep?

There was a slight knock on the door, she muffled a 'come in.'

Her boyfriend tentatively walked into her room with a small baggy of goodies. He wore the same small smile she had grown accustomed to as he stood in front of her tired self.

"Hey," he greeted.

"Chris What are you doing here?" She couldn't help but smile.

"Well someone was sick, and ruined our plans, so I thought I might as well make her feel better so no more plans get ruined," he replied jokingly causing a smile to grace her lips.

"Chris you're going to get sick, I don't want you doing that," she replied.

"What a shame that would be right?" Chris continued as he kicked of his shoes and began to lay down next to her. "I would hate to get sick and have to stay in bed with you all day," he replied as he pulled the blanket over himself.

"Chris, you're being really sweet but you're making me feel bad," Scarlett responded.

"That's why I'm here, so you don't feel bad, come here," he replied softly before pulling her closer into his chest. Warmth was radiating off of his figure and Scarlett couldn't help but feel drowsy.

"I realize what I was missing," Scarlett yawned sleepily.

"Yeah?"

"Mhmm," she nodded slightly.

"you." She replied before having a kiss planted on her forehead.

"I was missing you too after not seeing you for a total of ten hours," Chris nodded causing a small giggle to escape her lips.
