Sick Day

Pov Karkat
I hear the sound of my blaring alarm echo throughout my ears and my head aches painfully in response.
"For fucks sake-"
Slowly, I try moving my body up and away from the bed but with every move I try to make my body grows deeper, and deeper into pain.
I reach my hand over to shut my loud alarm off before attempting to open my eyes.
I look at the bright light that's shining through my blinds causing a fierce pain to hit directly on the left side of my head, near the temple.
I let out a soft, painful whine before falling back to the bed's comfort.
When I snuggle into the blankets I quickly become too hot so I kick them away. Soon after, my skin becomes freezing and I reach out for my blanket once again.
I try taking in a deep breathe of fresh air but instead cause myself to start fiercely coughing.
"W-what the he-hell"
Taking another listen to my voice I notice how scratchy and broken it sounds.
I groan loudly before hiding my face in my pillow seeking comfort and just wanting to return to the slumber I knew as sleep.
Once I shift my body over to face the opposite side of the bed I take note how the spot next to me is empty.
I slowly peak my head up looking around for my boyfriend, Dave.
It seems as if every move I tried to make my body just embraced more, and more pain.
"D-Dave..?"
I let out a soft cry as I attempted breathing through my nose only to fail learning that my nose too, is stuffed.
Suddenly, I watch as the door slowly opens and Dave sticks his head in.
"Baby are you alright? Did you call me?"
Quickly I fall back down to the pillows embrace before reaching over for my stuffed animal. I cuddle closely to the item that brings me comfort before whining slightly.
"L-love I don't feel good..."
Dave quickly enters the room approaching the bed.
"Sorry love. I woke up early today like I normally do. I decided to chill downstairs for a bit before I heard you coughing up here and what I thought was the sound of my name."
Dave brings his hand up to my forehead gently feeling to check if I have a fever.
"Hmm... Alright- you're head does feel really hot... You're voice sounds really scratchy too... Let me run into the bathroom and see if I can find the thermometer."
I give off a slight nod, not wanting to bring more pain to my already aching body.
Dave leans down to gently kiss my forehead before stepping away from the bed. I watch as he walks over to the blinds to slowly shut them denying the light entry to our room. He then makes his way out of the room and into what i assume is the other bathroom in our house.
I lay in silence as I hear Dave shuffling around a room or so over. I feel a fierce pain in my stomach as I have the sudden feeling of throwing up.
Quickly, I run up and into our bedroom bathroom. I make my way to the toilet before leaning over allowing a gross liquid to leave my mouth.
I let out a loud cry as tears slowly leave my eyes, not enjoying the feeling of throwing up and it bringing back many past, unwelcomed memories.
I feel a light and gentle rub on my back and I take note that Dave has returned to my side.
"Shhh loves it's ok- I'm here don't worry."
More tears begin to fall from my face as my body continues to attempt to throw up any food or liquid that is left inside of me, not being much since I've yet to eat today.
After a few moments of relaxing I spit out the liquid that's left in my mouth trying to remove the nasty taste that was left behind.
"You alright baby?"
I feel Dave's arms slowly wrap around me from behind and I sink gently into his touch.
"I-I'm fine... Did you f-find the thermometer?"
I try my best to allow words to leave my mouth as I hold back the strong urge to cough.
"Yea, here love lemme see your face"
Quickly, I reach up to flush the toilet before turning around and sitting on the floor. I take note Dave doesn't have his shades on so I'm starring into his crimson red, beautiful, loving eyes.
I try my best to give him a soft smile as I feel something cold pressed against my head.
After a few seconds of waiting Dave looks at the device curiously.
"Mmm... high temperature of 100. Why don't we get you back to bed love... I'll call in to work today, tell them your sick and I gotta take the day off. I'll get you some water because I'm sure your throat is probably sore."
I let out a small squeak as Dave leans down to gently pick me up off the floor, bridal style.
He carries me back to the bed, carefully laying me down.
"How's your head feeling babe?"
I lay back into the mattress seeking comfort. I snuggle into the blankets and nuzzle my head lightly into the pillow.
"Mmm still very much in pain."
"Alright. I'll see if I can find Advil or something... I'll be right back"
Dave leans down to gently kiss my cheek before exiting the room. I move closer into the pillow letting out a silent cry trying to ignore the pains and aches coming from all over my body.

Once I exit the room I quickly make my way to our other bathroom. We tend to keep certain things in a locked cabinet because of some... past issues Karkat has. He claims it's better if it's out of his reach so I did as I was told and put it all away.
After I grab some medicine I make my way to the kitchen to grab a glass of water.
On my way there I'm greeted by Karkat and I's doggo, Harley.
She approaches me slowly, asking for my attention with her looks.
"Not now girlie- I gotta take care of smol karkles. He's not feeling his best today. But don't worry I'm sure he'll be better soon."
I gently rub her fur before finishing my journey to the kitchen.
Once I find a clean glass I fill it up with cold water. I take a quick look in the pantry to make sure we have some soup for Karkat later, in case he grows an appetite.
After double checking on all the items I have I begin to walk back to the room before almost tripping over our cat, Tyler.
"Skfkkskfks g o o d n e s s. Tyler my dude ya gotta be more careful- almost dropped all this stuff I got for karkles"
I laugh softly before adjusting my grip on the things in my hand and quickly walking back to our bedroom.

I close my eyes trying to calm my mind before I hear Dave re-enter the room. I look up to see him holding two pills and a glass of water.
He approaches me as I lay on the bed and I slowly attempt to sit up.
"Hey love sorry to bother you again. Here, i brought this for you. This should help soothe your headache a bit."
I reach my hand out as I'm handed two pills. A dark memory floods through my mind and I try to push it away before slowly putting the pills in my mouth, drinking water, and finally swallowing them.
I smile softly at Dave before taking another drink of the water. I set the glass aside before moving my body back down onto the bed.
"Did you need anything else baby? Or did you just want me to go and hang with the animals while you slept?"
I frown slightly at the thought of Dave leaving my side...
"W-would you mind staying here with m-me while I sleep...? I just... My minds not at the most positive state right now... and it would be nice to snuggle for a bit... But I understand if you would rather not- I don't want to get you sick either..."
I let out a sudden fierce cough before I quickly take another drink of the water.
Dave climbs in bed next to me trying to calm me down slightly.
"Kitten it's alright- I don't mind staying. I'd rather be here to keep you safe anyways. Just relax love and let me help you sleep."
I feel Dave's arms wrap around my waist as he pulls me closer to his body. I snuggle into his chest before softly smiling.
Dave gently pets my hair causing me to nuzzle my head closer to the touch of his hand.
I listen to the lovely sound of Dave softly humming to me. I yawn slightly before relaxing into his touch.
My eye lids slowly start to close and for a few seconds... everything feels ok...
"I love you kitten..."
I hear Dave faintly whisper in between his soft humming.
"I-I love you too..." I say in a mumble tone before completely drifting off into complete darkness allowing my dreams to take over the rest of my emotions.
