Two Shot: Best Remedy…?
"I'm drugged up on cough medicine and right now sounds like a gREAT time to tell you how hot you are and pass out in your car" prompt.
The fall weather had begun to settle in for the year. The air was more brisky, and the winds more unforgiving with their temperature. The leaves had begun to change while taking their time falling off. This meant thicker jackets, flared jeans, form-fitting sweaters, hot chocolate, early evening walks, but most of all, colds.
Those last two related more that you wished they had. The other night, you had begged Jaehee to go on a walk with you to the park before the weather got too chilly for the both of you. She had, of course, agreed without much effort; a few peppered kisses was enough to convince her. It wasn't until after you had ate your quickly thrown-together dinner that you got ready for the walk.
"Did you grab the kleenex? Make sure you have gloves too. Oh! And don't forget to zip your jacket-" Jaehee listed off, looking away from the paper to bring your zipper all the way to its top, "all the way up." She sent you a smile before looking at the list again.
"Of course. Make sure you get those things for yourself, too, Jaehee." You hummed back, returning the favour with the zipper. She blushed, looking away as you lingered close by afterwards.
In the end, the one thing the both of you had forgotten were scarfs. You hadn't noticed until the wind started to make Jaehee react. She kept scrunching up her shoulders. It only did so much for protection from the wind. She was so prepared, too… You just had to hope for the best as you made the walk short. There was another five minutes left before you would be back at the apartment, and it had begun to rain.
Once back, Jaehee immediately went to care for you; to dry you off, help with the wet clothes, and so on. You had beat her to it, though. One of you was bound to get sick, so you hoped that if you helped Jaehee warm up, it would be you.
Sadly, all of your efforts were in vain. The next morning, you woke up to cuddling with a burning-up Jaehee. She was fidgeting in her sleep, tossing and turning slightly. Your eyebrows furrowed in worry and concern; the first thing you had to do was quickly get her more comfortable before closing the cafe for the day.
That's where you were now. You had taken the extra blankets off of her, leaving them to the side for her to reach for on the other end of the fever. You also got her tea and soup- lots of tea and soup. You had to deny her coffee. After that, you had made sure people could tell you were closed before getting her some medicine.
In the bathroom, you rummaged through the medicine cabinet to find something for her fever. That's when you heard some coughing from you lover. You winced at the harsh sound it made leaving her throat.
"Jaehee, would you like some cough syrup too?" You called out softly, worried she had a headache as well.
"Y-Yes please, (y/n)." She spoke. You nodded to yourself, before getting out the two different remedies. Quickly pouring the syrup, and grabbing a few pills, you returned to Jaehee's side as soon as you could. You kneeled in front of her on the bed as she tried to get back to sleep.
"I'm so sorry I got you sick, babe. I hope these work well." You said in a hushed tone. She just mumbled something incoherent, smiling a weak smile while waving the topic off. "Here, I'll get you water."
You jogged over to the kitchen, grabbing a glass, before filling it with ice cold water. Once you returned, you saw the syrup gone. You smiled knowing that she was on top of things. You handed her the glass, before scooching under the covers to nuzzle your nose into her neck. You could feel her swallow the pills from the rather calming movement of her throat. This made you chuckle.
"By the way… w-we should go shopping for some things to make more soup." Jaehee stated, eyeing her third empty bowl. You blew a raspberry at her while poking her cheek.
"That was quick. Sure. I assume you feel okay to help me pick out the ingredients?" You chimed while getting up.
"Yes. Once I get dressed, at least." She added, following your lead.
xXxXx
You had quickly gotten all of the ingredients that Jaehee felt like having in her soup. It was actually quite cheap, somehow. She must really know her grocery stores. You were driving the both of you home; Jaehee was taking a nap again. She had brought a few more pills to take with her, and she took them a before you began to get back home.
Jaehee groaned while waking up from her nap. "(Y/n)? Are we… Are we almost home?" She slurred from the medicine and grogginess. You nodded, telling her there was a good three more minutes left of driving.
Her gaze settled on you like stone; you could feel her eyes never leaving your form. "Ya know… I don't say this enough, but gosh, (y/n), you are such an amazing mix of cute… and hot as hell." She sputtered in a much too serious tone be true. You couldn't help but blush. "I can't wait to get better, so I can work with you in the cafe, and see you in your apron and tight leggings… Watch you take orders with just the perfect amount of sass, and cuteness. You jut your hip out and rest a fist on your side. Gosh, you drive me up the wall, in such a good waaaay-" She continued, flailing around slightly in her seat.
You're face was fully flushed red from her comments. You had no idea that she watched you like that during work; well, you had to admit, you did it too, so then you wouldn't end up checking each other out secretly at the same time.
"Jaehee, hun, go back to sleep. You need it. That, and it will take me a bit to make it from scratch. Please rest up." This earned you one of the cutest pouts you had ever seen to grace her face.
"Ah… why not. I'll miss you so much though~!" She hummed before passing out.
xXxXx
Once parked out in the back, you tried to nudge Jaehee awake. She didn't seem to be waking up soon. It was for the best, with her cold, anyways. With a sigh, you walked around to her side door, opening it. You took a deep inhale before taking her in your arms, bridal style. Using your remote keys, you locked the car before trudging back into the cafe and loft apartment.
You made her the soup. While dishing it, you kept it covered while you brought it over to the bedroom. You knocked softly. You heard a faint, "Come in." The door was already slightly open, so you pushed it in while carefully holding the bowl.
"I-I'm really, terribly sorry about earlier! You didn't have to carry me up, yourself, did you?" She exclaimed in worry, hands hiding her face. She was peaking out between her fingers, though; it was cute, accompanied by the blush.
"Don't worry about it! To be honest, I can't help but check you out, myself." You stated with a giggle. You passed her the bowl of soup. "The way you try to keep your best posture… The menus held tight against your chest, heh… How you lift your glasses from both sides with one hand, and how you always end up curling your ever-growing hair around your finger." You rambled, like Jaehee had an hour before. Her blush grew.
"I'm still sorry for how I acted, at least… Thank you for the soup ,as well. Now, as for that apron…"
I know, rushed again haha. Sorter than usual too but, it is a one shot ^^
Again, I am still taking requests! Please, I'm almost desperate to write for other lol.
And just like the precursor for this fic, I will feel much better about writing these and get the motivation too, with some reviews here and there. Please and thanksies?
