My alarm went off and I was immediately coughing and sneezing like crazy.
I tried to sit up but got immediately dizzy, and crawled back down. My head rested gently
on my pillow and I took a deep breath."Alan!" I croaked. It hurt to talk.
The words scratched my throat like barbed wire, and set my head off on a trip to hammer town.
I held my head in a futile attempt to get the head ache to stop.
I heard footsteps pound up stairs and he flung open my door. "Yes?"
I groaned. "I don't feel good."
He sat down on my bed and felt my forehead. "You have fever too. do you want me to stay home with you?"
I shook my head. "No I can manage. you go have fun at work."
He let out a deep sigh. "Alright, but you call me the moment anything goes wrong."
I rolled my eyes. "I will!! Now get to work."
He gave the top of my head a kiss and then left my room, leaving me in silent darkness.
I closed my eyes and let myself drift into a slow sleep.
Soon later I was woke up to a banging on the door.
I tried to close my eyes and fall back asleep, but I couldn't.
I groaned and stood up, a dizzy spell immediately hitting me. I stumbled forward and grabbed onto my bed post for support.
As soon as my vision cleared, I made my way downstairs, trying not to cough. I opened the door and recoiled at the harsh sunlight.
I looked up to see Rocky smiling at me. "You look amazing, as always."
"What do you want?" I asked, my own voices surprising me. It came out much deeper, scratchy and harsh. "I'm sick."
"And I'm here to take care of you." He said, placing a kiss on my forehead.
He picked me up and I sighed as he carried me upstairs. "I was doing fine on my own."
"Were you?"
I gave him a look as he placed me back into bed. "I made you a soup. And I got you some cookies."
"Aren't you supposed to be in school, mr?"
"Buuuut I'd rather stay home with my sick girlfriend." Rocky said, nuzzling me.
A small smile came to my face. "Mmmmmkay. I guess I can live with that."
He gave me a slow kiss and he sighed and pulled away. "Great kisser even when you're sick."
I laughed. "I'm sick! You shouldn't be kissing me!"
Although I will admit the way his lips met and moved with mine felt nice, familiar even.
He put in a movie and then crawled in next to me.
"What movie?" I asked him.
"Annabelle." He smirked.
"Ohhhh sounds good."
"It's a horror flick."
I groaned. "Really? why!"
He laughed. "Cause then I get to hold you."
"I would've let you anyways." I mumbled, as the movie started.
I cuddled into his chest as much as I could, soaking up his heat. I could feel a smile form on his face and he wrapped his arms around me.
"Why don't you sleep now, angel."
"Mmmm but I'm not tried, and I wanna talk to you."
"I want you to get better." He placed gentle, soft kisses along my shoulder and up my neck to my jaw line.
I let out a sigh of pleasure and looked to him. "You're gonna get sick too, ya know."
"Then I'll have a reason to skip school and come hang with you."
I rolled my eyes and gave him a gentle nudge. "Hmmmm I see."
"Will you come take care of me when I'm sick?"
"Maybe." I giggled and he gave me a fake hurt look.
"You better." He said, resting his chin on my shoulder.
Soon I was all warmed up as could breathe a little better. Rocky had his arms around me and had our movie playing.
He was playing with my hair and everyone in a while he'd drift off, and start to hum a slow tune.
I left at peace and tired, everything around me lulling me to sleep.

I woke up what seemed to be days later, but in reality only a couple hours.
Rocky was looking down at me with a smile on his face, and placed a kiss on my nose. "Hey cutie."
I smiled and stretched. "I would've thought you got bored and left."
"No way, you're adorable when you sleep."
I laughed and shook my head. "Okay, Rocky."
"How are you feeling?"
"Better, thank you."
"So I can do this now?" He questioned, pressing his lips into mine.
"What. The. hell." An angry voice hissed.
We jumped apart and I saw my brother standing in the doorway.
Oh no....
