I've been making a lot of part 2's lately...

*Caitlin's POV*

I think Shawn might have gotten sick a little worse than I had.

"Here's another tissue box," I said, handing the box over to him. Shawn hadn't gotten out of bed yet, he was sitting up and not looking well.

"I'm starting to regret getting so close to you yesterday," he blew his nose in a tissue.

I sat on the edge of the bed next to him, "Thank you so much for taking care of me yesterday, but I told you so." I wasn't scared of getting sick again since I had already had it. I took his hand and rubbed it softly with my thumb.

Shawn leaned his head back against the headboard and closed his eyes. "Caitlin, my head hurts so badly," he whimpered.

"Here, how about you lay back down," I suggested since he had already had medicine for his headache. I helped him move to lay down on his back. He rested his head on my stomach and I tried to gently massage his head through his soft, brown curls. "What hurts the most?" I asked him.

"Well, my head," he spoke softly, "But my whole body just feels really weak and crappy."

"You're probably tired. How about you try to get some sleep?"

"Okay, I'll try," Shawn sighed. I felt his breathing get slower and more steady and I knew he must be asleep. I stroaked his hair lightly until his phone buzzed, meaning he got a text.

I picked up his phone and unlocked it. Shawn had given me his password and I knew he had nothing to hide. It was a text from Andrew that read: "Shawn, are you coming to the studio today?"

I then remembered that Shawn hadn't called in sick yet. I texted back: "This is Caitlin. Shawn's still sick.

A text came back: "He said he would only need a day".

I replied: "He's got it pretty bad, believe me".

There came a simple "ok" after that and I put down Shawn's phone.

Shawn was still sleeping with his head on me and I carefully tried to move out from under him without waking him up. I stood up from the bed and he only started to stir a little. I looked down at him peacefully sleeping. He looked a little less sick, maybe the medicine was finally kicking in. I pulled the covers over him and planted a kiss on his warm forehead.

I was just leaving the room when I heard Shawn croak, "Wait!"

I turned around to see that he was wide awake once again. "What is it, babe?"

"Where are you going?" he pouted.

"I was just going to get some water," I explained, "Did you think I was leaving?"

He nodded before coughing a few times.

"Well, it's okay. I'm not leaving," I smiled. When Shawn was sick, there was always a point where he got super clingy. "I'll be back in a minute," I told.

"I love you," he called just as I was walking out of the room.

"I love you too, Shawny."

I went to the kitchen and got a glass of water for myself and one for Shawn too. I knew how bad the sore throat was. Mine hadn't even gone away all the way.

However, when I came back, Shawn was fast asleep. This time I was going to try my hardest not to wake him.

I sat down next to him with the book I was reading. I opened to the right page. Shawn was snoring softly, facing me. I smiled and held his hand as I read.

Finally got this done. I did not mean it to take so long. I hope you liked it! (Again this was for _caitlin_mendes_xx )
The good news is I'm done with finals (thank god🙏) so I will continue to update as frequently as possible.
