Dick had the amazing superpower of knowing when his girlfriend wasn't feeling well. They had been together ever since high school and he usually got it right. Now that they shared the same bed, it was second nature to him. This morning he knew she wasn't feeling well the moment he woke up.
The first thing Dick did when he woke up was curl up to his girlfriend of seven years. She had a amazing body temperature, and that was something he didn't. He needed her warmth the moment he woke up, but something stopped him. The air felt heavier than usual. It was like there was a weight above the bed. Dick wiggled around a little bit as he adjusted his eyes to the light.
"Oh no," Dick muttered as he found where the weight was the heaviest. It was above Artemis, and he knew what that meant. Artemis was sick. The blonde didn't know how to function when she was sick.
Dick bit back a groan and ran a hand through his short black locks. He stared up at the ceiling and thought about what to do. He could make her tea, or he could let her sleep? Artemis always slept a lot when she was sick, and tea would keep her up. Artemis also liked snuggles when she was sick. Dick made up his mind and turned onto his side to snuggle the blonde. He was cold anyway.
The moment Dick placed his arm over her, Artemis wiggled and groaned. The raven bit back a sigh in his failed attempt to keep her asleep.
"Dick?" Artemis murmured as she snuggled into his arm.
"Yeah babe?" He answered, even though he knew what she was going to say.
"I don't feel good," She said.
"I know," Dick sighed. He leaned his head by hers and used his free hand to pet her hair. It was frizzy:A true sign of her sickness.
"Can we just snuggle and sleep all day?"
"Totally, Mai."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
He would cancel all his meetings later. She was sick and in desperate need of him.
