(Herc POV)

I was so tired.

My classes were finally over, but my work wasn't done. I had offered to sew the Schuyler sisters some new dresses and, make Alex a suit since he didn't own one. I also seemed to have a cold. Yay me. When I got home, I went straight to work. I was busy stitching the sleeves on Peggy's sunshine yellow dress when I got a text from a special somebody.

LaffyTaffy: How is everything going?

TailorsAprentice: Alright. I'm just a little bit stressed, and I think I have a cold.

LaffyTaffy: ....

TailorsAprentice: Laf, u there?

TailorsAprentice: Laf?!?

LaffyTaffy: Your door is locked. Let me in.

   I smile and stood up from my workstation and headed in the direction of the front door, passing Alex who was grabbing snacks from the kitchen before returning to his room.  I shook my head at his behavior before unlocking the door and pulling it open. Laf instantly invited himself in, setting a plate of macarons on the counter, and a backpack on the floor beside it.

"I have macarons, for you to eat, and in the bag, there are three different types of cold medicine, tissues, tea, and a few other items." He said quickly.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Laf, it's just a cold. I'm ok."

" Well too bad. I have arrived to make things better." Laf replies, before planting a soft kiss on my cheek. "It is my job.

"Ok, well I guess you can watch me work if you want to?"

"Oui. I would love to."

   I smile and lead him to my bedroom, which is a bit of a mess due to all the fabrics, patterns, and such. However, it's not a complete disaster.

(Laf POV)

   As we entered Hercules's bedroom, I was instantly surrounded by a vibrant and fun workspace. Colored fabrics filled the shelves above a work table, which was covered in trays of thread and a black stewing machine. Designs also covered the table and walls surrounding it in a stunning display.

    What truly catches my eye, is a beautiful dress, with a sparkly silver top and peach-colored skirt that most likely will reach just above the knee. It's strapless and also has a sweetheart neckline. It's so beautifully designed that I can only stand here and admire it.

" Hercules......this is amazing," I say in awe. Herc laughs before responding.

" I'm glad you like it. Hopefully, Angelica feels the same way." He said, sitting down at his work table, and I began to hear the tap tap tap and whirring motor of the sewing machine. I took a seat on the bed beside his work table. I watch as he continued to stew the sleeves onto a bright yellow dress which was most likely for Peggy. He let out a few soft sneezes and sniffles but continued to work, cursing as he pricked himself with a pin.

"Merde," I whispered under my breath, shaking my head a little.

   I slid off his bed and stood behind his chair. I draped my arms across his shoulders, and he leaned back a bit to look up at me. I gazed down at him and smiled, lifting a hand to run my fingers through his hair.

" I think it's time you take a break," I said softly.

"But I have to finish-" I cut him off by covering his mouth with my hand.

"Non, you need to rest," I persisted.

   He rolled his eyes before standing up. Once he was standing I lead him to his bed and instructed him to lie down, while I fetched a glass of water and some medicine from my backpack, just in case. When I return, I see he is already asleep. He was laying face down in his bed, a blanket lazily tossed across his body. He obviously needed the rest, and I decided to let him have it.

" Laffy. Come take a nap with me." He said softly.

"Oui." That is all I said in reply, before sliding into bed beside him.

  He snaked his arms around my waist and buried his face in the crook of my neck.

"Goodnight Laf."

"Bonne nuit."

"Translation please?"

" It means goodnight."

" Oh, ok."
