Without further adieu! Please enjoy!

Key: Y/N=Your Name

Your POV:

Sitting on the side of an infirmary bed, I hold a cold pack of ice up to my bruised cheek, which is probably an ugly purple colour by now...not that I care. As long as I protected him, that's all that matters.

Hearing the familiar screech of the mechanical door opening, my eyes flick up to meet emotionless ice blue ones, the eyes I've come to love so much. Suddenly, these same eyes turn electric with anger brewing behind them.

"Do you want to die?" He grits out, his firm gaze set on my slightly cowering form.

"No" I reply bluntly.

"Then how come every time I'm about to get attacked, you jump in and take the hit for me?" He puts his hands on his hips and waits for an answer.

"Because you're my friend Superboy, and friends protect each other" I smile genuinely, wincing a bit when my wounded cheek is strained.

'That's a lie, you're more than a friend, I protect you because of these ever growing feelings I have for you' I mentally sigh.

"Yeah? Well I don't need protecting, so just worry about yourself and forget about me!" He exclaims in rage and storms out, the door closing shut behind him.

Sighing heavily into the silence, I shake my head and remove the ice pack.

"If only it were that easy..." I mumble.

If anything, the one thing I cannot do, is think entirely about myself and forget about those I care for. I was born a selfless person and I will always put others before me, no matter how much I get beaten up for my sacrifices.

With that thought, my breath hitches momentarily and causes me to cough suddenly.

"Aww man, I really hope I'm not catching a cold" I groan aloud and stalk outside the cave's infirmary.

Returning to my personal room in the Cave, I slump down onto my bed and recall the recent argument with my all time crush. It's a known fact he loves the green skinned Martian, and her him, but I cannot deny my ever growing feelings for the Kryptonian. I've fallen so hard for him, I'm never going to love someone else. This boy just might be the death of me.

Feeling the same chest pain from before, I start coughing more violently than before into the back of my palm. The next thing that shocks me, is the small red stain on my hand, as I widen my eyes in shock.

"Blood?" I quirk my brow.

The coughing begins once more, making me hack up until the painful tickle disappears completely. This time, a small white petal flutters out from my mouth and lands gracefully in my lap. Okay, now I'm definitely seeing things. If I truly am getting a cold, a fever is the next case, probably effecting my mental state and causing me to see things that aren't there.

"Yeah, I just need to lie down before it escalates" I decide, snuggling into the warm bed below me and falling into the land of dark slumbers.

Time Skip

Either I have terrible luck, or a really bad immune system, because somehow, this stupid chest cough hasn't gone away and continues to get worse as the days go on. Because no other serious symptoms have arisen, I've decided to leave a visit to the doctor unless it gets considerably worse.
