Sick Day - Charles Leclerc

The minute you wake up you know that the day will be plagued with a migraine. You let out a groan and hear footsteps coming into the room. "Y/N" you groan again your hands moving to your temples with eyes still closed. The bed dips slightly and a hand comes to your side, "chérie tell me what's wrong" Charles says quietly, "migraine" you mumble while slowly opening your eyes to look at your concerned boyfriend. He frowns but leans in to kiss your head, "I'll get the medicine" you smile slightly closing your eyes again to avoid the light coming from the hallway.

Seconds later he comes back making you open your eyes, "i can stay here with you today" he exclaims while gently laying next to you, "don't you have sim stuff to do with Ferrari?" you ask once you've taken the medicine. "I do but I can postpone it" you shake your head, "no don't postpone it for me, it's important" he smiles down at you his fingers moving some hair away from your face. "I don't like knowing that you're here alone and not feeling well" you shrug, "I'm a big girl I can handle this" he pulls you closer his hand on your lower back, "I know but sometimes having someone to take care of you is needed". You smile slightly before pulling his face down to kiss his lips, "go do your Ferrari thing, I'll be here when you get back" you say once you've pulled away, he sighs but nods getting off of the bed. You watch him slide on his coat smiling even though your head is still hurting, "je t'aime" you say making the Monaco native look over his shoulder at you, "je t'aime ma chérie" he replies and walks over to press his lips to yours one last time before he walks out of the bedroom.

When you think that he's left you let out a moan rotating to stuff your face into the pillow. "Nope I'm not going" Charles exclaims coming back into the bedroom throwing off his coat, starting to take off his shoes. You prepare to push him out of the apartment but a wave of nausea hits you so you quickly jump out of bed a hand over your mouth as you run to the bathroom. You make it in front of the toilet before emptying the contents of your stomach, fingers move your hair away from your face and a hand rubs circles on your back. When you think you're done you sit back your head still hurting, "I'm just going to call my engineer" Charles says giving you some mouthwash to get rid of the horrible taste in your mouth, leaving you in the bathroom your head leaning on the cold porcelain of the toilet.

A few seconds later arms come around you swiftly lifting you off of the floor, "let's get you back to bed chérie" you hum leaning your head on Charles' chest as he carries you back to the bedroom. He gently lays you down on the bed making you sigh, you feel him start to pull away but you grab his shirt, "stay" you mumble looking into his eyes. He smiles, "I'm just going to change" you nod letting him go your eyes closing. You feel his arms come around you from behind bringing you to his chest leaving some kisses on your shoulder, "I feel bad, you're missing important racing stuff" you mumble, "ne t'inquiète pas mon amour" he replies in French. You place your hand on his arm a smile coming to your face as you feel yourself succumb to your exhaustion.

You end up sleeping for the majority of the day. Fingers stroking your hair stirs you from your hours long nap. You slowly open your eyes rubbing the sleep from them, "bonne après midi Y/N" you look at Charles who is crouching by your side of the bed a concerned expression still on his face. You bring a hand out tracing his jaw with your finger gently, "don't look so worried Charles" you say sleep still present in your voice, he takes your hand pressing a kiss to the back of it, "I can't help it" he replies looking into your eyes. "How's your head?" he asks while moving his hand up to your forehead rubbing it softly, "all better" you reply smiling. Your stomach growls bringing a smile to your boyfriend's face, your eyes widen hands going to your empty stomach, "come on let's get some food in you" he says and stands up, you nod sliding out of bed carefully not bothering to change out of Charles' shirt which you used as your pjs the night before.

As you approach the kitchen in your shared apartment, you take a running start sliding along the hardwood arms out while grinning. Charles laughs and you giggle as you bring your arms down to stop yourself at the counter. You take in the food spread out on the counter eyes wide, "when did you?" the formula 1 driver comes over wrapping his arms around your front, "while you were sleeping" he replies cutting off your question, you peer up at him smiling, "merci" he catches your lips with his for a short kiss, "de rien mon amour" he mumbles into your lips. You pull away before grabbing a plate of food, Charles unwinds his arms from around you and also takes a plate, the two of you sitting at your small dining room table. The rest of the afternoon and evening is spent on the couch watching romcoms, Charles holding you close as your worries fade for at least one day of your guys' hectic schedules.
