Hello everyone. This is Eric/OC one-shot. I know it's short and doesn't really have a story line, but I needed to get it out of my system. I was kind of inspired by my fever last night and thinking about Eric was a way to distract myself from it. So this popped into my mind.
This is my first fan-fic and English is not my first language. So please forgive me for any mistake.
I own nothing except Roxy, who is an employee in fangtasia and works for Eric Northman.
The fever
Pam ran into Eric's office as he called her.
"Yes?"
"Where is Roxy?"
"She is in her office."
"Then why isn't she answering? I need to talk to her. "
"I'll go check on her."
Suddenly they heard a loud shouting. There was a fight going on between vampires over a meal.
Eric pointed to Pam and told her to go and find out what's happening. "Throw whoever is shouting out of fangtasia. "
Eric knocked on Roxy's office door. No answer. He went inside and found her lying on the couch. Her face was covered with her hair.
"So I am paying you to sleep during your work time?"
She didn't answer.
"Roxy, wake up."
He shook her shoulder but still no answer.
He kneeled beside her and pushed her hair from her face. Her eyes were closed and she was sweating. He put his hand on her cheek, she was burning.
He called and she gave him her description. When she was done,she walked to the door and grumbled:
"She needs to rest. Take her home Northman! What do you do with your employees? this poor girl …. "
When the doctor left Eric lifted Roxy bridal style. "Where are you going?"
"Home. She has no one here and she can't drive home alone like this. She will stay with me tonight. Would you please close fangtasia tonight without me?"
Pam raised her brow but didn't comment on that. She knew her maker has feelings for this human girl.
…..
When Eric got home, he brought Roxy to one of his guest rooms and laid her on the bed. Eric touched her neck to check on her fever. She was burning. When he wanted to take his hand and leave she didn't let him. "So cold…" she mumbled and held his hand to her face. She was enjoying the vampire coolness; it was like putting ice on her hot body.
Eric let her hold his hand for a while, may be his cold temperature can help her fever. He tried to free his hand and she protested.
"Its ok, I stay with you."
He whispered to her.
He took off his t-shirt and pants and laid beside her on the bed. The more skin the more coolness he could offer her. He rolled Roxy on her side and held her close to his body.
Half an hour passed and she still was burning with fever.
Eric looked down on her and said.
"May be this will help."
He said as he laid her on her back and towered over her. He took her shirt off and then did the same with her pants.
Then he laid on his back and hold her close, so that her head was on his chest.
As she sensed the coolness beneath her, she curled on Eric's body and spread one hand on his shoulder.
He could imagine her shocked face when she wake up and find herself naked in bed with Eric.
His little human employee was feisty. She will give him a piece of her mind.
He smiled and closed his eyes and listened to her breathing as he was drifting into sleep.
