Alex's POV
Why am I so hot? That's the first coherent thought I felt I've had in such a long time. But seriously it's like I'm on the surface of the sun and I'm suffocating. I open my eyes and see my amazing girlfriend laying with me. We are wrapped up in each other and I know she has been an angel to me, even if I don't really remember most of it.
I try my best to get out of Maggie's arms without waking her but that seems impossible. Every move I make she tightens her grip around me, snuggles closer, and deepens the love I feel for her.
"Maggie, honey, I need up."
She just mumbles something that I don't understand and I haven't gotten anywhere with waking her.
"Maggie." I say her name with more force hoping she gets the message. Not only am I a puddle of sweat, I have to pee.
She starts to wake up and raises up on her elbow and immediately puts her hand on my forehead.
"What's wrong? Do you still feel bad? Do I need to call Kara?"
"Babe, slow down, I'm okay. I feel like I've been ran over by a train but I'm fine. Just have to pee." I smile sheepishly.
"Oh okay. Do you need help?"
I shake my head no as she unwraps her body from mine. I twist my legs off the bed and try to stand. My legs wobble like I'm a newborn calf. Maggie reacts quickly and grabs my shoulders.
"Whoa Alex you okay?"
"I'm fine. Just a little unstable. Maybe I do need your help."
She crawls over to my side and stands in front on me. She reaches her hands out and I grab her forearms. I stand slowly and my legs shake again. Maggie puts my arm around her shoulders and she wraps her arm around my waist and guides me to the bathroom. Once we get there I try to leave her outside the door.
"Uh no way there Danvers. Your as weak as a kitten right now. Let me help you."
I just feel defeated. I don't want my girlfriend to see me as an invalid. I sigh and just give in, there's no way she is letting up now. She turns me to be able to sit when I'm ready, she takes the waistband of my jogging pants and pulls them down and helps me sit. I really can't believe she is helping me go to the bathroom.
"Want to take a bath and clean off all that sweat you have from your fever breaking?"
She turns around to the bathtub and starts feeling it up. The steam already starting from the hot water filling the tub.
"I don't know, I really just want to lay back down."
"Babe, the sheets are soaked, your clothes are soaked, and I'm soaked in your sweat. You will feel more like yourself after a bath."
I finished up and stand up and leave my jogging pants on the ground. Maggie is right and I need to wash off. I walk up to where she is kneeling and put my hand on her shoulder. She looks up at me and smiles with her dimples in full swing. She takes my left leg in her hands and pulls my sock off and then does the same to my right leg. Slowly raising up she rakes her hands all the way up my legs and grabs the hem of my hoodie and raises it over my head.
I lean in and kiss her slowly, I put hands around her neck and pull her closer. I want to take this farther but sooner than usual I'm out of breath and have to pull back. I lean back too fast and lose my balance.
"Alright Alex. I know what you want but your still on the mend. Let's take this slow and get you better first."
She takes my hand and helps me step into the bathtub. I sit down into the warm water while Maggie adds some lavender bath oils.
"I just want you to relax and soak for a little while. I'm going to go change the sheets and my clothes and I'll come back in in about fifteen minutes."
I nod and slide down into the water more and rest my head on back of the tub.
How is this even possible? Meeting Maggie has been the best thing to ever happen to me and even when I feel my worst she makes me feel the best.
True to her word she comes back in fifteen minutes later in some booty shorts of mine and a tank top. She kneels beside the tub and grabs the loofah and body wash. She looks at me for permission and at first I was confused as to what she's asking. Then I realize and feel humiliated and turn my head to hide the redness on my cheeks. She grabs my face and turns me back to look at her.
"Hey. None of that now. Do not feel embarrassed around me. I want everything with you, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Let me take care of you, I want to do this to help you feel better. You are so strong and are always taking care of everyone; Kara, J'onn, Winn, and me. Please baby, let me do this for you."
Tears are welling up in my eyes and I try to bat them back. How is the wonderful human being kneeling beside me wanting to help me, love me? I nod my head and she starts by rubbing the loofah on my arms and over my chest.
"Sit up for me a little."
I do as I'm told and she runs the soapy sponge over my back. I lean my head on the front of her shoulder and relax. I let my amazing girlfriend give me a bath. She washed down my torso and onto my legs and down to my feet. She takes each foot into her hands and washes between my toes and I giggle.
"What is this? My girlfriend is ticklish on her feet?" Maggie grins while she talks.
"Shut up!"
She just shakes her head as she takes a cup and gets water to rinse off my back and shoulders. I reach the shampoo bottle to her and she smiles again. She gathers more water in the cup and has me tip my head back as she gets my hair wet. Having hands scrub your scalp while lathering shampoo in is the most amazing feeling you could experience. The water rinses my hair out once more. I sigh and I realize the bath is coming to an end.
Maggie stands and goes to the cabinet and gets a towel. She helps me out and starts to dry me off. I start to reach for my silk robe on the back of the door but she stops me. I get lead out of the bathroom and back towards the bed. She starts to strip on our way back.
"I just want to feel you, skin to skin."
I smile and we climb into bed. She scoots over until her chest is pressed up against my back.
"We have literally done nothing but lay in this bed for almost two days."
"Alex I just want to lay in this bed with you, forever!"
We both chuckle. I think back to the first time she slept over and how she was the one that said we couldn't stay in my apartment forever.
The next thought I have hits me like I have hit a brick wall. I don't want this to be my apartment anymore. I want it to be our apartment. I turn over to face her so quick that I startle her.
"What is it?"
"I know we just said the three biggest words a couple can say to each other and we haven't been together that long but I can't wait any longer. You being here with me, helping me, and making me feel better. I need you here with me all the time."
"What are you asking?"
I push up onto my elbow to look down at her and brush the hair off her face.
"Will you move in with me Maggie? I mean my apartment is closer to your work anyways and you spend most of your time here. So it only makes sense right…"
I'm rambling and she hasn't changed the look on her face since I opened my big mouth. I'm panicking and I know I've just crossed a line that I can't go back from.
"Yes. Yes I would love to move in with you!"
Maggie has the biggest smile on her face and I practically lunge at her and kiss her with force. Once we pull apart we are both smiling.
"I think it's time to actually get some rest now because we are going to have a long couple of weeks packing all my stuff up."
"I think your right roomie!"
"Can you be anymore nerdy Danvers?"
I giggle again and lay my head on her chest and wrap my arms around her waist. She draws lazy circles on my back and shoulder and I am so happy I could burst.
"I love you Maggie Sawyer."
"I love you Alex Danvers."
