"Baby, I'm sickkk..." Colby calls through the phone, a little sniffle following soon after. His voice was groggy and nasally and had a distinct scratchiness to it, despite the terrible signal through the phone.
"Aw, babe," Y/N cooed as she layed in her own bed. Today was her day off and she wanted to do nothing else but relax considering today was one of the days when Colby would be filming with Sam anyways so he'd be busy. She didn't expect him to call her up sick though.
"Are you at work?" He asked, another pathetic sniffle following. Y/N smiled, even though he couldn't see her. He was always so clingy and cuddly when he wasn't feeling well, so she knew where this conversation was heading.
"No," she said as she slipped her warm bed cover off, standing up, "I have the day off."
She put the phone on speaker, listening to Colby's uneven breaths as she started changing into a clean t-shirt and comfortable pyjama shorts.
"I think you should come here." He said, his voice croaky and shaky.
"I think I'm alright, thanks though," She teased as she put on her shoes. "I don't wanna leave my comfortable bed." She silently laughed, knowing full well Colby was about to throw a fit.
"But babyy... I'm sickkk." He whined. She could hear the frustration in his voice loud and clear as he spoke into the speaker of his phone even though his voice was muffled by the pillow.
She grabbed her car keys, getting in the car and pulling out slowly. She decided to take a trip down to Target to grab him some snacks as well as something to eat. She knew Colby wasn't going to leave his bed, no matter how hungry he got. His breaths became even after a few seconds and she knew he fell asleep. She smiled to herself.
After driving back and forth, she looked at the bag laying in the passenger seat, deciding that that's enough shopping for today and made her way to Colby's apartment. She parked the car right next to his and got out.
Y/N didn't need to knock, she knew his door was going to be open. She set herself a reminder to scold him later on for that.
Colby was passed out on his bed, his hands tucked underneath his chin with the cover. She smiled, placing a soft kiss to his forehead as she set the bag down next to his bed. She made her way to the kitchen, closing his door quietly so that he wouldn't wake up from the noises coming from the kitchen even though Y/N knew he was a very deep sleeper.
She started working on the chicken soup and a warm tea with lemon and honey. Colby was bound to wake up with a sore throat, even worse than before and she knew that he was going to have a coughing fit when she heard him cough a few times.
'Poor baby', she thought to herself as he sniffled. She turned the TV on, curling up in the corner of the sofa. About 20 minutes passed when Y/N heard shuffling in his room, knowing he was awake. The door opened, revealing a very tired looking Colby. His face was pale, his hair sticking up in all sorts of directions and he had dark bags under his eyes, but even then she thought he was the most beautiful being.
"Hi baby," she smiled softly at him as he made his way over to the sofa and curled up right next to her, his head on her chest as she let her fingers brush through his hair.
Colby didn't say anything, he just sniffled and tried to smile as wide as he could but he thought he probably looked like an idiot doing so, so he stopped.
"I made you a hot cup of tea and some soup. Do you want them now?" she asked, her palm resting on his forehead to see if he has a temperature.
And my God, did he have a temperature.
Colby nodded, sitting up. Y/N got up, grabbing the soup that was now warm and ready to eat. She set it in front of him and he dug in straight away.
"I don't deserve you." He croaked out. Y/N smiled softly kissing him on the cheek. Colby whined, "I don't want you getting sick."
Y/N just laughed. He may be clingy and constantly want cuddles but he didn't want her getting sick. It was a constant cycle between them, when one got sick, the other was bound to get sick too. No one could separate them, not even an illness.
After a while they both settled on watching a movie, curled up on the sofa with a blanket, exchanging sweet nothings into each other's ears.
