Black and Blue

A fic of random moments shared by an odd couple.


One

My head aches. I stare at the ceiling to try and gather my surroundings as it spins around, dizzying me. A fever has been raging inside of me for more than a week now, and it has weakened me. A hand, soft but calloused, touches my forehead.

"We should probably go into town and find you a doctor," Raven's uncharacteristically kind words resonated in Reese's ears.

Looking up, she whispered a firm "No."

She lifted her left hand and brushed it gently against Raven's. Startled by the contact, Raven withdrew his hand.

"I think we should. I don't want to travel with a sick woman in tow. Specula would be worried as well."

"I'm fine. And she knows that."

Raven grunted in defeat. He stood up and grabbed the basin which sat on the dusty bedside table.

"I'll give you a sponge bath then," he said simply.

A tint of rose blushed Reese's cheeks as something quite perverted popped into her demented mind. Her mouth twitched at the thought. Quickly, she assumed a calm expression, hoping that he did not notice.

Something wet brushed against her bare shoulder as Raven proceeded to cool her body.

"Turn around," he said.

Obliging, Reese lowered the straps of her slip, revealing her back. She blushed even more as Raven dabbed the small of her back and shivered when the water spawned droplets halfway down.

Careful to cover up her front with the blanket, Reese attempted to ease up the heat by humming. These wet sensations seemed to make her fever rise instead of the opposite. A fever that had nothing to do with body temperature…

...hours later...

"Well, your fever's gone down," Raven said.

Reese sat up and glared at him. "You helped it go down, alright," she chuckled, picking up her slip from the floor where Raven threw it during their heated fit of passion.

They had done something both of them never expected they would do. And both had just realized how much they meant to each other.

Notes: My first RavenxReese fic ever. I know a lot of people hate Reese for following Raven around, but I like this pair. And I don't see a lot of fan works about them. Just testing the waters here; review if you liked it and I might make more chapters.

Peace!
