The door slammed shut signalling that Tyler was back from training. "Babe, where are you?" he called while rifling through the fridge before walking upstairs to the bedroom and finding you curled up under a mountain of blankets with balled up tissues scattered around.
"I'm not feeling good," you sniffed before raising your arms up to him for a hug.
"What's wrong, baby?" he whispered, bending down to wrap his arms around you. "I don't like seeing you sick".
"I'm not sick, I just have a bit of a headache. I'll be fine after a nap," you mumbled back, reaching for the box of tissues. Tyler reached over, passing you the box and then brushed your hair off your face before gently pressing his palm to your forehead.
"It's more than just a bit of a headache, (y/n), you're burning up. I'll drive to the shops and grab some medicine, okay," he rubbed your cheek and then padded downstairs.
You woke up to Tyler gently shaking your shoulder as he crawled in next to you. He passed a glass of water and some tablets to you and you smiled weakly in thanks before taking them. After putting down the glass Tyler held your hand in his and played with your fingers before slowly speaking. "I don't think you should go in tomorrow."
"And why's that?" you coughed
"You're clearly too sick, babe. I think the station can live without you for a day"
"Heroes don't take sick days, bud," you laughed, watching Tyler smile.
"You're insufferable"
"Well I never saw Captain America take a sick day"
"Yeah, but didn't he sleep for like 70 years?" Tyler laughed, aware that he had one-upped you this time.
"Oh fuck off, I didn't realise that you actually payed attention when I made you watch those movies and anyway, you still need to introduce me to Chris Evans," you grinned.
"l met him once! And why would I introduce you to the love of you life?" Tyler pouted. You rolled on your side to face him before snuggling your face into his neck and wrapping your arms around his body.
"Tyler Paul Seguin, you are the love of my life but also you smell so please go and take a shower and leave me to sleep."
"Only because I love you," he murmured back while disentangling himself from your limbs. You drifted off to the sound of the shower running and Tyler singing 'Let It Go' loudly and very much out of tune.
