The yearly 365 Challenge
Prompt #350 (Food) Marshmallows
Veronica slipped underneath the sheets once more as she leaned into Betty's shoulder. She smiled softly as she placed a medium sized marshmallow into the hot chocolate that was against Betty's chest. "You know B it works better if you actually drink it."
Betty hummed.
Veronica looked in concern in the fever dazed glassy look in the blonde's blue green eyes.
Betty rested her head on Veronica's shoulder. "Thanks for the hot chocolate. It smells heavenly." She got out in a slightly waspy voice.
"Like I said B. It works better ifyou actually drink it." Veronica placed a hand against Betty's forehead and knew the fever rose slightly higher. "Please drink it. It'll help sooth your throat … and it'll help warm your insides."
Betty hummed as she lifted the mug up to her lips. She took a small sip. After she lowered it once more against her chest; "I was too tired to blow on it. So I was allowing it to cool on it's own." She nested against her best friend.
"I'm sorry." Veronica breathed out as her left arm moved to rest around the slightly taller blonde's side.
"Why are you sorry?" Betty looked up into the concern chocolate eyes looking back into her own.
"I should have blown on it before I handed it too you." Veronica sighed. "I should have just sat right next to you, and helped you drink it … before I crawled back underneath the covers."
"I'm not that weak Ronnie." Betty rolled her eyes. "Sides I wouldn't have truly enjoyed this if you aren't by myside like how you are now." She took another slow sip of the hot chocolate. "Dork." She murmered.
Veronica's eyes softened. She silently watched as Betty drank as much of the hot chocolate as she could before she placed it on the bedside table. She reached over, and gently massaged the back of the blonde's neck as Betty got comfortable against the pillows once more.
"I'm sorry that I got sick." Betty sighed as she rested her head against the headboard. "This wasn't how I planned on …." She leaned forward as a coughing fit hit her.
Veronica sat forward, and gently patted Betty's back as more body moving coughes escaped from the blone's mouth. She gently pulled Betty into her so she could help the blonde catch her breath once more. She felt Betty's shaky fingers against her spine. She carefully helped Betty finally lay back down on the mattress; making sure Betty's head was comfortable on the pillow before pulling away. She looked into the dull eyes of her love. "Get some sleep B. Your body needs the rest."
"You are the best Ronnie." Betty sighed as her eyes drifted close. "I'm so glad that we were destined to be best friends."
Veronica watched carefully as Betty drifted off into a tired sleep. Her hand rose to gently stroke aside Betty's bangs against the sweat off of Betty's forehead. "I wish that you return my love for you B." Her head tilted to the right. "Are do you all ready? Have you just not fully realized yet? Just as you haven't fully realized how deeply my love for you is." She sighed as she rested her head against the side of Betty's on the pillow. Her eyes drifted closed as she fell into a light sleep.
