Peraltiago One Shots

Good Boy

It was cold and dark outside, and Amy Santiago sat at her desk filing the paperwork as her boyfriend, for two months now, exited the elevator, late as always. She was about to make a sassy comment towards him, when she saw his condition.

His nose was red, his face completely pale and he had heavy bags under his bloodshot eyes. In conclusion: he looked like the dead come to life. She watched him with a worried expression as he approached his desk.

He didnt even look at her but immediately sat down and put down his head on his hands. Jake, are you okay? she asked him. He looked up with a frown Of course! Why wouldnt I be?. His voice was raspy, and he ended with a cough.

Babe, you look like a corpse! Amy exclaimed sceptically while tilting her head. What? No! Im fine! he sat up straight and Sie sand he cleared his throat. Jake looked at his computer screen, obviously trying to avoid the conversation.

"Jake, you're not okay! You are sick! Everyone can see that, babe! Jake looked at her and gave her an annoyed look. "Ames, just let it go. I'm completely healthy and in a wonderful state." Amy pulled up an eyebrow and shook her head over her stubborn boyfriend.

She started sorting the files again but kept looking sideways at Jake. It was obvious that he was torturing himself. He coughed over and over again and Amy's worries rose. Innocent as a deer, she stood up and walked past Jake. He just looked after her for a moment and then went back to work. Amy used the moment to sneak up on him from behind and put her flat hand on his forehead. Jake flinched and tried to push her away, but he was too weak to escape the female detective's grip.

"Jake! You are completely hot! Jake grinned slightly, "Well, thanks babe! I can only give it back". "Jake, I'm serious! You have a fever and are obviously sick! Go home!"

Amy sat on Jake's desk right in front of him. She took his cold hands in her warm ones and made eye contact with him. He looked to the side so Amy gently put her hand on his chin and turned his face to her. "Please, Jake. Go. Home!".

Before Jake could answer, Captain Holt's voice spoke, "Peralta, do what Santiago says and go home! We need you in good health! You are forbidden to enter this building until you are healthy! Santiago, you have that to say about this situation. Get him out of here. Both of you, dismissed! Amy nodded and stood from Jake's desk on "Absolutely, sir! I'll make sure Jake gets home and then I'll get back here right away".

"No, Santiago! You won't be coming today. You go with Peralta! You also need a break. If you already come here on the weekend! Dismissed".

Captain Holt returned to his office and Amy stood there in bewilderment. Only when Jake coughed again was she pulled out of her trance. She grabbed her coat and patted Jake on the shoulder. "He annoyed her before he too took his coat and shouldered his bag. Amy rolled her eyes and reached for Jake's hand to pull him with her.

The two entered the elevator and Jake sneezed heavily, whereupon Amy searched her bag for a handkerchief. Not that she had to search long because her bag was sorted alphabetically. Jake took it nagging, still mumbling, not sick. Amy gave him a sceptical sideways glance and sighed. Why was he so stubborn?

She pulled him to her car and literally shoved him into the passenger seat. She slammed the door shut and got in on the other side. The traffic was heavy with it being late in the evening and everyone either going out or returning from work. She drove to his apartment and looked at him at every traffic light.

The second she started the car, he had fallen asleep. She smiled slightly at the sight and felt guilty as she had to pull him out of his peaceful state. She shook his shoulder slightly to wake him up. "Jake, babe, we're at your apartment." He opened his red eyes and got out sluggishly. Afterwards, she took his hand and slowly led him up the stairs.

She looked for her key to his apartment and unlocked it. Amy immediately took him to his bed and sat him down.

Carefully, she took his jacket and shoes from him and placed them neatly next to the front door. She walked towards him again and pushed him into the pillows. She pulled his badge over his neck and removed the gun from his hip. Gently she pulled the blanket over him and stroked him gently over his hair.

Amy started making tea and while the water was boiling, she went to the bathroom where she knew she would find cold medicine. She searched the cabinet and got out a few tablets. She took a glass of water, a fever thermometer and brought the medicine to her sick boyfriend.

He lay in his bed with his eyes closed and still pale as a corpse. She put the medicine and the glass on his bedside table and drove him through his hair "Honey, you have to sit up. I have to measure your temperature. He grumbled and sat up carefully.

Amy took the thermometer and her voice becomes childish "Okay, now open your mouth all the way! He gave her an annoyed look but opens his mouth. "Good boy" Amy said playfully and stroked his head. She read the temperature. 39.8°C! Jake, you have to stay in bed!. She quickly gave him the glass and he gulped down the medicine. Amy hurried to get him some pyjamas out of his wardrobe and tried to help him putting them on.

Ames, I can dress myself! he complained with a low and raspy voice. You can barely keep your Eyes open! She helped him in his pyjamas and got him his tea. He swallowed the hot drink quickly and then lay down again.

Amy stroked his cheek and gave him a gentle kiss on the forehead. Not wanting to disturb his rest, she got herself a blanket and a pillow to sleep on his sofa having changed into one of his shirts and sweatpants.

She was about to lie down when he heard a murmur from Jake. You dont have to sleep on the couch or is it because of the germs that you are disgusted by my presents. She smiled lightly and walked over to him. I could never be disgusted by you. I just didnt want to wake you. Amy explained soothingly.

Jake pulled back the covers on his left side and Amy climbed in. She kissed his cheek and lay down beside him. Have I told you how sexy your nursing is? he asked quietly into her hair. She felt herself blushing and turned towards him. Well, maybe youll get that as a reward for being good and getting well again she whispered into his ear. He smiled Help me to get cured, nurse Santiago!.

She just laughed goofily at that wonderful man besides her and slowly closed her eyes.
