"(Y/N)!" Rosa called from the living room, as you groaned and buried your head in the pillow. "Don't groan at me! I heard you!" She shouted again, as you rolled your eyes and rolled onto your back again for air.
"I'm coming!" You croaked. God, you felt like death. Even just to speak it felt like you were swallowing nails. You sighed, before grasping the side of the bed and attempting you heave yourself up. You perched on the edge and stretched slightly, before a mop of black hair appeared at the bedroom door.
"You sound like shit." Your girlfriend said to you, voice monotone as always. You tutted. "Thanks.." "Seriously, you can't go into work today. You've got to stay here.." Rosa continued, walking round to your side of the bed and placing a cool hand on your burning forehead. "You're on fire.."
You winked. "Why thank you very much.." "Not the time for jokes (Y/N)!" She snapped, taking her hand away and attempting to push you backwards onto the bed. "And now is not the time for bedroom activities Diaz! Work in forty minutes!" She slapped your shoulder lightly.
"You're staying here today.." She muttered, stalking round to the door. "I'm not.." You protested, swinging your legs back over the bed and attempting to stand up. "Sit!" Rosa scolded, as you scowled at her. "I'm not ill, I'm perfectly fi-". As if to prove a point, a huge coughing fit ensued, as your girlfriend raised a delicate eyebrow at you.
"I'm fine. It's a cold.." You said once more, wincing as an ache took over your body. You felt Rosa's eyes on you, so attempted to keep a normal facial expression as you crossed the room and began laying your clothes out for the day. "You're a real pain in my ass, y'know?" Rosa piped up, as you shot her a smirk. "But you love me.." "It's a good job I do.." She muttered, turning on heel and strutting back to the kitchen of your shared apartment.

You both arrived at the 99th precinct at 9AM, you still coughing loudly, blowing your nose on a packet of tissues Rosa had forced you to bring in.
"God, are you okay?!" Amy exclaimed as you made your way into the bullpen. You looked at her. "Yeah? Why?" "Oh, no reason.." she trailed off. "It's just you look a bit uh...y'know, a bit.."
"Oh god (Y/N), you look like you died last night!" Jake exclaimed as he sat down at his desk. You shot him a glare. "And you look like you're late!" "Actually, I am late, thanks for noticing.." he shot back, grinning at you. You scowled again and stomped over to your desk. When sat down, you made eye contact with Rosa, who gave you a 'I told you so' glance. You shook your head, before releasing another huge sneeze.
"Jesus!" You heard a shout and then a clatter from behind you. You spun round to see Charles on the floor, a croissant and turkey along with a smashed mug of coffee on the floor. "You're huge sneeze made me drop my croissant!" He whined, as you winced. "Sorry Charles.."

By 1 in the afternoon, you were in an almost zombie like state, wandering through the corridors, lumbering towards the printing room and typing sluggishly at your computer. It was only when you entered the break room that you finally caved in. "Okay, just a quick sit down.." you thought, as you collapsed onto the battered couch. Lucky your nose was too blocked to recognise the distinct smell of Scully and Hitchcock radiating from the worn material.
You rested your head on the arm, as your eyes became heavy you easily slipped into a peaceful slumber, despite the noise levels outside the room being almost deafening for a Friday afternoon.
The next thing you remember was an arm resting on your shoulder gently shaking you awake. "(Y/N).." a voice whispered in your ear, causing your hair to move and tickle your cheek slightly. "What time is it?" You groaned, opening one eye gingerly to let almost blinding light in. "Uh, 2:30 in the afternoon babe.." You heard your girlfriends voice above you, half smug, half laughing.
"Oh shi-" You attempted to curse, but yelled in pain as you sat up too quickly, clutching your head as a sharp pang shot through the front of your brain. "You okay?" Rosa smirked from above you as you swatted her smug face away with your free hand. "I'm fine, I've had a nap and I'm-" Once more, you were interrupted by a large sneeze and a sniffle at the end, your nose turning even more red than it'd had previously been.
Rosa shook her head, before pushing you back onto the couch. "Stay there for five minutes." She instructed, using her more forceful voice than she had this morning. You were almost scared to disobey, Rosa was extremely protective when it came to you, so you sighed and laid in your previous position. You watched her sashay out of the break room as your eyes closed once more.
You were about to return to dreamland once more, the loud sounds of the precinct almost lulling you back to sleep, we you felt a hand on your warm forehead. "Wake up sleepyhead." You heard your girlfriend, as your eyes opened once more and gave her a small smile. "How do you manage to look beautiful even when you're sick?" She asked, as you failed to hide the blush heating your cheeks up.
"C'mon, sit up, I made you some herbal tea. You drink this and you head off home, no questions asked.." She said, as she pulled you up and placed a chaste kiss to your forehead. You took the tea gratefully, sipping it slowly as you gazed at your girlfriend. The remedy instantly soothed throat as you smiled.
"This is good. Where did you get this?" You asked, as she smirked and tapped the side of her nose knowingly. "What did I say this morning? You're not well enough to be here.." She said smugly, as you sniffled and rolled your eyes. "Yeah yeah, whatever.." "So don't you feel well?" She prompted, raising an eyebrow. You shrugged. "(Y/N)?" You sipped your tea, remaining silent, so she poked you once. And again. And again. And again.
"Fine!" You exclaimed, setting your tea down on your lap and turning to face your cocky girlfriend. "Rosa Diaz, you were right and I was wrong. I honestly don't feel too good." You said, as she raised both eyebrows this time. "Fine! I feel awful!" You scoffed, as she cracked a rare full smile.
You finished the rest of your tea in silence as Rosa rubbed your back and played with the ends of your hair. Once you were finished, she took the mug from you and set it down on the floor. "Now, you're going home." She nodded at you, as you sighed and nodded back. "I know, I'm going home.." "That's my girl.." She smirked, helping you up and holding you flush against her body.
"Go back, get changed and get into bed. I'll be home as soon as I can, and we can watch movies and cuddle tonight, deal?" She said, as you couldn't help but smile. She was such a secret softie. "Deal." You croaked, as she kissed your forehead tenderly, supporting you with her hands wrapped around your waist.
"Aw! Diaz isn't such a badass after all!" Jake shouted from the break room door, as him, Amy, Terry and Charles smiled at the scene the two of you were making. Rosa's head snapped round as she eyed Jake, eyes narrowing.
"Run!" You mouthed at Jake, as his eyes widened, sprinting back through the precinct as your girlfriend gave one last cheek kiss before taking off after the screaming man.
"I'm sorry Rosa!" You heard him shout from a distance, as you giggled, before letting out a huge sneeze. The idea of being snuggled in bed suddenly seemed very appealing
