Dark and His Queen

Unwell part 2

Dark appeared in the house to find Anti and Die sitting in the living room. He noticed to two chairs pulled up to the fire place and the fire raging inside. "Having a romantic evening in?" He asked with a sneer. "No! They both stated venomously. "Laura pulled the chairs near the fire to get warm. I think she is sick." Anti said. Without another word Dark disappeared from the room. He appeared next to the bed where Laura was still sleeping. Dark sat on the bed and smoothed Laura's hair back. She slowly opened her eyes. She smiled at him though her smile was weak. Her teeth chattered together as she gripped the blanket. "Hello princess. Are you feeling alright? Anti said you weren't well." "I am ok. I just have a nasty headache and I can't seem to get warm." "Have you eaten anything?" "Yeah, Anti made me some soup earlier." Dark looked shocked. "Anti cooked for you." Laura giggled. "Yeah. I walked him through it step by step but he did it all himself. It is really good to. I was going reheat if for dinner tonight." Laura tried to sit up and whimpered in pain. Dark reached for her with concern strewn across his face. He wrapped his arms around her helping her sit up. "Damn, my head is throbbing. left the pain pills downstairs." Dark snapped and had her pills and a glass of water in his hand. "Geeze I wish I had that power. No maybe not. It would just make me super lazy." Laura joked. "I love how you can still have a sense of humor even when you don't feel well." "I can't turn that off. It is just in my nature." "I love your nature." "I know you do." He leaned in and kissed her ever so gently that his lips barely touched hers. She smiled and giggled. "I am not going to break you know." "I know, I just don't want to hurt you." Dark handed her the glass and the pills. Laura took the pills all at once. "I should really eat something." Laura said swinging her legs off of the bed. She whimpered again. "Come here." Dark said holding on to Laura. He teleported them downstairs. Laura had her arms wrapped around him. Dark placed her on the ground and pulled her chair out for her. Anti and Die stood up once they appeared in the kitchen. "So Anti, how about sharing your homemade chicken soup with everyone. Just turn the burner on med and then we wait." Laura winked at him and giggled. "What is so funny?" Dark asked. "Anti's one complaint about cooking is the waiting. Mr. impatient over here wants things immediately." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Anti waved her off. They all chuckled. Anti served up bowls of soup and everyone sat quietly and ate. "Mmmm, that was excellent. Even the second time around." Laura beamed at Anti. Anti blushed. "Really dude, she is not lying. This was really good." Die added. "That was very good. I am impressed." Dark agreed. They all looked up in amazement. "I had a good teacher." Anti said. "Oh, now I am a teacher? Earlier I was bossing you around." Laura teased. Anti chuckled. Laura let out a massive yawn and then shivered even wrapped in the many layers. "Maybe you should get back to bed." Die suggested. "I didn't know you cared." Laura teased. "Pft. Whatever." Die scoffed. Laura giggled. "If I could walk without pain I would hug you." Die rolled his eyes. That made Laura giggle more. "Come on princess, let's get you back to bed." Dark stood and wrapped his arms around Laura. "Night guys. Laura waved before her and Dark disappeared. Dark laid Laura down in the bed and crawled in behind her. He pulled her close to his chest wrapping his arms around her. Laura shivered despite the warmth of Dark's embrace. She still managed to drift off to sleep. In the middle of the night Laura woke up and shot straight up out of bed. Her stomach flipped upside down. She ran to the bathroom just in time. Dark sat up startled by Laura jumping out of bed. He sat there listening to her in the bathroom unsure of what to do. Dark knocked on the door. "Laura are you alright? Is there anything I can do?" "No, I am ok. I will be out in a minute." Dark went and sat back on the bed and waited impatiently. Laura brushed her teeth and washed her face. She came back out to the bedroom and sat on the bed. "You do not look well. Are you alright?" Dark asked worried. "I think I have the flu. It was probably from being out in the cold rain." Laura said. "I feel like death." Laura leaned her head against Dark's shoulder. "Don't say that. You will be fine. You have to be." Laura picked her head up to look at Dark. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to freak you out. It is just an expression. I should be fine in a couple of days. You know your cute when you worry. You get these little wrinkles in your forehead." Laura kissed his cheek. "Let's get you back to sleep." Dark pulled Laura back down with him and pulled her back to where she was before. He held her tight. Dark kissed the top of her head and could feel the heat coming off of her. "Your head is so hot." Dark said. Laura giggled. "If I was not sick I would think you were flirting with me." "I will always flirt with you, sick or not." Laura smiled and squeezed his arm that was around her. "I think it is just a fever. I am hoping the pain meds will help break that." "I hope so because I hate seeing you like this." "Trust me, I am not having fun here either." Laura teased. Dark kissed her head again. "Sleep now." Laura did.
