"y/n..."

"y/n, wake up." i opened my eyes to see my boyfriend, mattia, sitting on the edge of my bed.

"mattia? what are you doing here?" i asked and rubbed my eyes as i sat up.

"i wanted to come see you," he said.

"i told you not to. i don't want you to get sick."

"i don't care. come here," he said, and held his arms out. i hesitated for a few seconds before crawling over and hugging him.

"are you feeling any better?" he asked, rubbing my back.

"a bit."

"i missed you today," he said.

"i missed you too," i replied, pulling out of his arms.

"oh shit, i almost forgot," he said and pulled a tupperware container out of his bag.

"i brought you some of my mom's soup.  your favorite," he said, handing it to me.  i puffed out my bottom lip and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"i love you," i mumbled into his shoulder.

"i love you too," he replied, rubbing my back, "i'm gonna go warm the soup up, okay?"

"okay."

"pick a movie, i'll be right back," he said then walked out. about 3 minutes later, mattia came back with a bowl of the soup he brought, and a powerade, which i'm guessing he got from my fridge.  he handed them both to me and sat down on the bed next to me.

"what're we watching?" he asked, putting a pillow behind his head and getting comfortable.

"the sandlot," i replied.

"oh, hell yes."

after we finished the sandlot we put on the lion king, but i started to fall asleep.

"you getting tired?" mattia asked.

"a little bit," i mumbled.

"get some sleep. i'll be here when you wake up."

"wait, don't you have school tomorrow? i asked, lifting my head up.

"well, yeah, but i'd rather stay here with you than learn about dumb shit all day," he said. 

"but-"

"i'm not changing my mind.  deal with it and go to sleep," he said.

"fine," i huffed and laid my head back on his chest.

"wait.  i want a kiss."

"mattia, i told you i don't want to get you sick."

"and i told you i don't care. come on," he said.  i thought for a few seconds before pressing my lips to his cheek.

"you missed," he said.

"i am not gonna g-" he cut me off by pressing his lips against mine. the sound of lips attaching and detaching filled the room.  after a few seconds more, he pulled away and smirked.

"see, that wasn't so bad, was it?" he said.  i rolled my eyes.

"if you get sick you better not blame me because you know damn well that it would be your fault," i said before laying back down on his chest and closing my eyes.

"whatever.  goodnight stupid," he spoke.  i smiled, eyes still shut.

"night dumbass."
