You glared down at the thermometer, squashing the desire to chuck it across the room. Chills ran up your arms, forming goosebumps on the skin. Despite how tightly you clung onto the blanket draped across your shoulders, your teeth chattered. Trembles coursed through your body every five minutes, until you felt sore and stiff. On top of that, you couldn't stomach so much as a few crackers and some water.
“God is out to kill me.” you muttered, willing the 103 F reading to change. Even shaking the cheap plastic stick didn’t move the numbers.
This was no doubt the worst flu you’ve had in your life.
“You’re out of bed.” Kurt said, surprised to see your shaking form standing upright.
Well…barely.
You were hunched over slightly, as if you were an old person left without a cane. The thick plush blanket swallowed your frame, nearly touching the floor. He noticed you swaying slightly, trying to remain balanced.
Kurt immediately set the mug of tea down, and ushered you back into your shared bed. You whined, protesting against his gentle hold.
“Stop being stubborn.”
“I’ve been in bed for three days, Kurt.” You complained, turning to face him. “I’m tired of not doing anything.”
Kurt sighed, “You need sleep, and rest. That’s how you get better.”
You fought back your protests, as he helped lay you back, propping up the pillow behind your head. His hands felt like a heater against your skin, as he ran them up and down your arms. Concern swarmed in his dark eyes, as he watched another violent tremor rake through your body. It felt as if your bones and joints locked up, causing you to become painfully stiff.
You let out an exhale of relief as it passed, leaving you to collapse back against the mattress.
“You okay?” He asked after a moment, soft voice barely reaching your ears. A deep frown was embedded on his face, eyebrows pinched with worry.
I’m an asshole, you thought.
“I didn’t mean to argue with you,” You said, reaching for his hand. “I just feel bad about not being able to help around.”
He tsked, shaking his head at your words.
“I don’t want to be a burden-
“I don’t mind taking care of you, love” He interrupted, thick accent laced with emotion. He squeezed your hand in ressaunce, tracing the lines in your palm with his thumb. The soothing motion relaxed you, as you focused on the edge of his nail slightly grazing the skin.
“Here.” He said, shifting to grab the cup of tea from the nightstand.
Steam rose from the cup, as the string attached to the tea bag dangled on the side of it. You grabbed it, humming at the warmth emanating from the mug. The herbal smell of the tea wafted in your nose, clearing your stuffy nose.
“It’s chamomile.” He mentioned.
You smiled, heart thudding against your chest. The sweet drink slid down your throat, as you took a cautious sip. Your eyes flickered up to meet Kurt, who still held onto your hand.
A certain warmth flooded your chest, not caused by the effect from the tea. The softness in which Kurt took the cup from you, and helped you back into bed caused the corners of your eyes to sting.
“If I wasn’t so sick, I’d kiss you right about now.” You said, bringing the blanket up to your chin.
Kurt went still at your words, eyeing you. A sudden smirk appeared on his lips, as he leaned forward. You went to shove his chest, not wanting to transfer your terrible illness onto him.
“No, wait!”
He diverted, bringing his lips up to gently kiss your sweaty forehead.
“You’re going to get sick.” You whined, gently pushing him back.
He chuckled, peering down at you. “You’re very dramatic.”
You rolled your eyes, blaming the sudden heat crawling up your face on the high fever.
Kurt brought your wrist up to his lips, tenderly pressing a kiss against the pulse.
Your heart spiked from the action.
“Get some sleep.” He said, placing your hand on your chest. He dimmed the lamp beside you, and adjusted the pillow behind you.
You watched as he left the room, leaving the door slightly ajar in case you needed him. The heavy comforter weighed you down, causing you to slowly drift off.
You could still feel his cool lips against your skin as you fell asleep.
