Willfully, Captively Yours (Dio X Reader)

Chapter 9:Care

Y/N POV

      I woke up feeling as if a bat hit me in the ribcage. Everything hurt and I could feel my body fighting against itself as it does when one's sick. I wanted to call out to Dio but it hurt just sitting myself up, plus I'd hate for him to see me like this.

      I was just about to go back to sleep to hopefully escape the pain but I heard two voices outside the door.

      "There was no reason to consult in me. We both know what she has and the only two options we have to choose from.", the first voice said in a rather irritated tone.

      "They are all shitty choices. Can't I just turn her? Surely that will strengthen her.", I recognized this as Dio's voice. Was he talking about me?

       "Turning her is not a guarantee. She could break down instead. Either we shoot her with the arrow or break her down to build her back up. Without proper medical care she has thirty days at most, Lord Dio.", I could now pinpoint this voice as Enyaba's.

       I heard only a scoff followed by the sound of the door opening.  Dio's body then came into view. I tried to get up so I could run into him arms for comfort.

      "Don't move!", his voice snapped at me. I immediately shrank at the harshness. "I'm sorry darling. I just don't want you hurting yourself too much."

      He sat at the edge of the bed with a bowl of what looked like fresh fruit.

      "Say ah.", he said which sounded more as a comand than request. I did as told and he fed me the fruit.

      "I can do it myself, you don't need to trouble yourself with it.", I told him inbetween being fed.

      "Please, just let me do something nice for you.", Dio said placing another piece of fruit in front of me. I took a bite allowing him to pamper me.

      "May I ask something of you? And you must not lie.", I looked him straight in the eyes with all the strength I could muster.

      "Fine.", was the only response but his gaze said more.

      "Am I dying?", with that very question his eyes darkened and his body stiffened. I almost felt regret asking. The whole room was tense and a knife would be needed to cut it up.

      "There's nothing that can or will harm you as long I can breathe. You are going through an adjustment period. I will never let anything hurt you. Do you understand me, y/n?", he leaned over and planted a small kiss on my forhead. I wish I could say it eased my nerves but it only put me slightly at ease.

      It seemed to me as Dio danced entirely around my question as if the answer scared even himself.

      I probably was dying and he couldn't come to terms with it. Well neither could I. None of it made sense, all I knew was that it had to do with a stand. 

      "Here, let's get you freshed up so that you may rest better.", he helped me undress and carried me bridal style to the bathroom and placed me in the tub.

      The cool water felt amazing in contrast to my burning body. Dio helped massage the soap into my skin and shampoo into my scalp. In any other instance this momenf would have been sexual and I'd pounce at him. But considering the amount of exhaust I had, it was just giving me a helping hand.

      After helping me rinse off, dry, and get dressed Dio sat me down and braided my damp hair. Of course he took the opportunity of my neck being exposed to plant small kisses on it. My heart was skipping beats at his kindness.

      Dio laid me back down in bed before kissing my forehead once more and turning to exit the room.

      "Must you leave? Babe?", I felt sad watching him walk away and only wanted his company.

      He turned back around and climbed into bed with me.

     "I'll only stay until you fall back asleep.", that was good enough for me. I immediately cuddled into him despite my body already warming up again.

      "Dio?", I asked of his attention before sleep would take me.

      "Yes y/n?"

      "I love you.",  I heard no response at I could not stay up any longer but I truly felt love for Dio.
