MJ wasn't sure how she got in this position. Wait, yes she is. It started when her boyfriend decided he didn't need the flu shot like a dumbass. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was only a month ago when Peter was supposed to go to the tower to get his special flu shot. But it was his and MJ's anniversary, and he wasn't skipping that for a stupid shot. He hadn't gotten sick since the bite, why would that change? 

Now, a month since his anniversary, he woke up coughing. It was summer so he didn't have to worry about school, but it still sucked. May was working, leaving him alone. He was running a fever but he felt so cold and was shaking. He kept coughing and his throat felt like it was on fire. His head was beginning to pound when he heard a knock on the door. He got up with a blanket still wrapped around his shoulders and opened the door. 

"Why hello loser, you appear to have forgotten something."

Peter sighed and blinked sleepily, nodding.

"Hey MJ. Sorry I didn't call. It must have slipped my mind. I'm not feeling the greatest. I probably should've gotten the flu shot."

MJ nodded and took Peter's hand, guiding him to the couch and making him lay down. 

"Looks like I'm taking care of an idiot today."

Peter was about to speak but all that came out was a loud cough and a sneeze. MJ walked to the kitchen and grabbed a small towel. She got it damp and walked back over to Peter, placing it on his forehead and sitting down next to him. She turned on Star Wars and they watched for an hour before MJ got up.

"You stay here loser, I'm gonna make some soup."

She walked into the kitchen and gathered the ingredients for chicken noodle soup. She made it quickly and brought a bowl to Peter. She grabbed a thermometer from the bathroom and made Peter put it in his mouth until it beeped. She took it out and read it out loud.

"103.4. That's it, I'm calling Tony, clearly, you need some sort of medication and the normal stuff won't work on you."

Before Peter got argue she already had his phone in her hand and was dialing Tony's number.

"Mr. Stark? Your little spiderling has got the flu because he is an idiot and skipped getting the shot. Do you have medication that works on him? His temp is at 103 and isn't going down naturally.  Ye5 s, we are at his. Okay. Goodbye Mr. Stark."

MJ set down Peter's phone and sat back down, helping him deliver a spoonful of soup to his mouth. 

"You really are an idiot aren't you. you couldn't take 5 minutes out of the day to get a shot. You need to stop with the self-sacrificing."

Within 20 minutes, there was a knock on the door and MJ answered. She took the medication from Tony and gave some to Peter. She was glad to see him fall asleep and his temperature start to drop as well as some of the color return to his face.

It was three days before Peter was completely back to normal. MJ spent most of it by his side. May was happy to have her over, saying it was nice to know Peter was being taken care of. MJ was glad to have him back to normal. Well, as normal as he could be. He would always be her weird, dumbass, adorable, boyfriend.
