I'm gonna try and make this one longer
This idea came to me while watching Spice and Wolf II, the scene where Horo was sick and Lawrence had to take care of her
It was funny
The greatest, legendary warrior.
Bed-ridden
Because of a silly little cold
Oh well, it just meant she got to take care of him
She didn't know a lot about taking care of people, that's why she went to the medical platform and...in a way communicated with the doctors about what to do to help cure his cold. They gave her the needed medicine and tips on how to help cure it.
If there was one thing she didn't like about Mother Base its the walk from platform to platform, however this time, something interested happened.
She was half-way across the bridge when she heard a jeep behind her, it stopped right next to her to see who was driving
It was Miller
He had seemed to gotten use to driving with one hand
He gave her a look before gesturing her to get in the jeep. She hesitated a bit before finally jumping in the passenger seat.
Most of their trip was in silence, With Miller keeping his eyes on the road and her keeping her eyes out on the ocean. The ocean reminded her of the salt water Miller had poured on her during her "interrogation", She shuddered at the thought of it before shaking her head slightly to rid her head of that memory.
She heard Miller take in a breath to say something before closing his mouth, another couple minutes passed before he decided to attempt to speak again.
"I...Guess I should apologize...For how I treated you in the past..." He gave her a quick glance before looking back at the road "So I'm sorry...You and Snake are...Real close and I'd rather not piss him off by treating you like shit all the time..."
She was a bit taken aback by his sudden apology, She didn't think one was needed, in fact she had done her best to completely forget he even existed.
But the apology was...Nice...
She gave him a slight smile and nodded, She saw his lips curl into a slight smile
Finally they had arrived at the Command Platform, She hopped out of the passenger seat and turned around to wave bye to Miller as he drove away.
She climbed the stairs and approached his room, she knocked on the door.
She heard a bit of rustling around then foot steps against a hard metal floor, the door opened to reveal Snake in his fatigues, he gave a slight smile and gestured for her to come in.
She came in and set down the medicine and turned to him as he sat down on the bed and rubbed his face, she approached him and put her hand against his forehead.
It was hot.
She frowned, that was no good.
She noticed his bed was rather wet, she looked at his shirt, he was drenched in sweat.
This wasn't a cold, this was the flu.
She frowned even harder and began to unbutton his shirt
"Q-Quiet what are you doing?" He asked. She didn't respond as she took of his shirt.
This was the first time she had seen his bare chest, he had muscles for sure, scars from his crash in that helicopter 7 years ago, stitches from the countless surgery's performed to remove shrapnel and whatever foreign objects that littered his insides.
It made her sad, This man had been through hell and back, cheated death many times.
"Quiet...?" His voice brought her back to her senses, she had noticed her hands where on his chest, she blushed and quickly stood up and approached the items she brought with her. Though the things she bought were to treat a cold, he had the Flu.
Well first of all she had to cool him down.
She took a cloth and ran it under some cold water, then approached him and gently pushed him down on the bed. She then set the cool, wet cloth on his forehead.
She wish she could ask how he was feeling, or if he needed anything. But all she could do was just watch him, and hoped he understood her body gestures.
She sat down on his bed and watched him, taking this rare scene in, a scene where Snake was standing still, and resting.
"Thanks Quiet..." He said, smirking. She smiled back.
She sat there with him, making small talk (Kinda), before she took the cloth away and grabbed the thermometer and handed it to him, he put it in his mouth and waited, it beeped and he took it out.
"97.8 huh...Thanks doc I'm cured" He said, smirking once again. She smiled, but she knew he was far from cured. He went to go stand up but she pushed him down again, gesturing for him to stay as she grabbed a towel.
She gestured for him to sit up and after he did she went to drying him off, getting rid of the sweat that drenched his body.
It was only when Snake sniffled his nose did she notice how close they were to each other, she looked up from staring at his chest and sure enough he was staring back at her.
She wanted to kiss him, she wanted to give in to her desires and just push him down and have her way with him, to make love to this wonderful man, to run her hands all over his toned body.
But she couldn't do that...Not when he was sick anyway.
Instead she bit her lip, what had gotten into her? She was practically melting in front of this man and he hadn't even done anything.
She needed an excuse to cool down, she decided to get new sheets, ones that weren't drenched with sweat. She excused her self before nearly dashing out the door.
She rested her head against the wall outside, giving a sigh.
She needed to calm down, this was bad.
She needed to focus on curing Snake, she needed new bed sheets, the proper medicine. But she didn't want to go all the way back over the Medical platform and keep him waiting.
"Oh, Quiet"
She turned her head towards the direction of the voice, it was Ocelot, he had some new bed sheets and a couple bottles of medicine.
"I was just about to head in a give Snake the right medicine and some new bed sheets...If you were on your way to see him you could give these to him, I'm sure he'd appreciate it" He said, winking as he said that last part. She smiled and nodded slightly, taking the bottles and sheets. Nodding in a thank you manner.
He nodded as he walked away. She turned around and went back inside.
"That was fast" He said, looking at her and smiling again "You got me some new bed sheets? You didn't have too" She gestured for him to move before pulling off the old ones and putting on the new ones, she filled a cup with some of the medicine and handed it to him.
He gulped it down, She then gestured for him to hop in bed and handed him another cold, wet cloth. "Alright, alright calm down Nurse" He said in a joking manner, she stuck her tongue out at him before smiling. She had done a good job.
He set the cool cloth on his forehead, She sat down on the side of his bed again, and watched him doze off, He needed the rest.
She gave him a kiss on the cheek before grabbing the wrong medicine and old sheets and carrying them over to the washer machines and then to make a stop back at the Medical Platform. She sighed.
It was a good day
That long enough? I hope so, This took me a while to think up but luckily i was able to shoot it out, hope you guys enjoyed!
