Today you were feeling under the weather, you had a high fever, a runny nose, and a sore throat. You were sprawled out on the living room couch with a warm blanket watching Disney movies hoping it’d cheer you up. Liam was at the studio recording with the rest of the lads, he was going to stay home to take care of you, but you wouldn’t have it. You sent him off on his way this morning before he could object. Since he left, he’s been constantly texting you to make sure you were okay. You thought he was over reacting, but cute that he was so worried over when he really needn’t have to. Your attention was cut short by your phone going off, another text from Liam, “Hey babe, has the fever gone down any? x” You giggle at his third time asking, causing you to go into a fit of coughs, but you quickly answer back, “Not since you last asked about fifteen minutes ago lol. I’m fine love, don’t worry about me and focus on your work. x” You set your phone back down and turned back to watching Snow White. Your phone quickly goes off again and you open the text, “I can’t help it, my baby is sick and I’m not home to take care of her :( x” Your heart warms at his words, “You’re just too cute! But I promise I’m fine, It’s just a slight cold.” You place your phone on the coffee table and proceeded to watch the rest of Snow White. You slowly feel your eye lids start to droop until you were completely under. You were awoken by feather light kisses being sprinkled all over your face. You open your eyes to see Liam hovering over you, worry lining his features. You check the clock on the mantle to see that you had dozed off for half an hour. A look of confusion crosses your face, “Liam? Why are you home so early? You have another hour or so in the studio.” He sighs, sits you up and takes the place where your head just was. He pulls you into his chest, you rest your head on the crook of his neck. “You weren’t answering any of my text messages and I called you five times. I was afraid something bad had happened to you. I told the lads I had to go, they understood.” You picked up your phone from the coffee table to see that you indeed had a bunch of texts, five missed calls from Liam, four from Niall and Harry, and two from Zayn and Louis. You turn to Liam and hug his middle, cuddling into him, “I’m sorry I scared you babe, I must’ve dozed off while watching Snow White.” He squeezed your side and kissed the top of your head, “No need to be sorry darling, I over reacted a bit. I’m just glad you’re alright.” You lift your head up from his chest and give him a kiss on the cheek to show your appreciation, “Shouldn’t you get back to the studio to finish recording?” A small sneeze escaped from you, causing you to giggle and a deep chuckle from Liam, he kisses the top of your head once more and hands you a tissue, to which you reply with a small “thank you.” He shifts a bit to look at the pile of dvds you have on the coffee table, shuffling through them before picking one up. “We called it an early day, the boys send their well wishes. How’s about we continue this Disney movie marathon?” he asks, holding up Toy Story, both of your favorite. “That sounds lovely,” you say with a smile and a small sniffle. He puts the disc into the dvd player and comes back to sit with you, you notice him take off his trainers. “Love, can you get up for a bit?” he asks. You look at him in confusion before complying. He goes on to lay on the couch and softly pats his chest, indicating that he had wanted you to lay with him. “Babe, I’ll get you sick,” you say with a frown. He sits up, grabs hold of your hand in his and pulls you closer to him. He wraps his arm around your middle, “Then let me get sick. It’s worth it to keep you close.” You run your hand through his hair, “You know I can’t do that babe. I’d feel guilty if I got you sick, especially since you’re recording.” He pulls you with him on to the couch, your head safely tucked in his neck and your bodies tangled with one another. “Welp I’m not having that,” he mumbles, “You’re my girl and it’s my duty to take care of you when you’ve got the sniffles. If I catch the bug, tough luck because to me it was for a good cause.” You bury your head in his chest, wrapping your arms as best as you can around his torso, “Thank you…I love you so much.” He takes your right hand in his and lifts it to his lips, placing a small kiss to your knuckles, “I love you too, I wouldn’t have it any other way than to have you in my arms.” You both watch Toy Story, your head on his chest listening to the even thrumming of his heart and his hand rubbing your forearm lightly. You wouldn’t trade these little things with Liam for the world, this was all that you could ever ask for.
