You toss off the covers as you lay in bed in a puddle of your own sweat. As soon as you throw off the covers, you are immediately cold again. Your boyfriend of a year stirs beside you on the other side of the bed.
"(Y/N), are you alright?" Derek Morgan asks you groggily.
"I'm blazing hot and freezing cold. I just can't get comfortable," you say with tears beginning to leak from your eyes.
"That's it," he says throwing the covers off himself and sitting up, "We're going to the hospital. You've been running a fever for 48 hours now."
"Derek, please, don't make me go," you sob, "You know I'm terrified of doctors, needles, and basically everything that hospitals involve."
Derek pulls you into his lap and begins stroking your (H/L) (H/C) hair saying, "I know, baby, I know. You're sick though and have been for two days."
"Derek," you plead knowing you are losing the battle.
"No, (Y/N). We're going I'll be right there beside you the entire time. I won't leave you alone," he says trying to comfort you.
Derek crosses the room and rummages through the closet looking for a pair of jeans and a shirt. Even with your fever making you delirious, you can't help but enjoy the view that is your boyfriend, Derek Morgan, in nothing but his boxers. As he pulls on his clothes, you try to stand up from the bed. Immediately, you become dizzy and nearly fall to the floor. Derek catches you seconds before your head can collide with the bedside table.
"Are you alright, (Y/N)?" he says sitting you back down on the bed.
"J-j-just dizzy," you stutter.
He grabs his keys and says, "We're leaving.
That being said, Derek scoops you up in his arms where you nestle your head into his neck. He carefully carries you out the front door of the apartment down to his car.
*time skip*
You had fallen back asleep in the car and woke up on a bed surrounded by curtains in the emergency room.
"Derek!" you cry out as the fear begins to wash over you.
"Baby, I'm right here," he says taking your hand and stroking your cheek, "You slept through the worst of it. They've drawn blood and sent it back to the lab."
Tears still begin to spill from your eyes as your fear takes over.
The doctor reenters the room as says, "Glad to see you're awake. Your body has been trying to fight off an infection. That's why you've been running a fever for so long. We just need to run an IV with antibiotics for a while, and you'll be just fine."
The doctor turns to leave as a nurse enters with the IV to run antibiotics.
Derek immediately moves closer to your side gently touching your chin to draw you attention away from the needles. You look at him with tears in your eyes.
"I'm right here, baby. Just focus on me," he says placing a kiss on your forehead.
