Author's Note: Funny, I'm sick at the moment and this popped into my head. I like this, thinking of making a few more today just because I'm a huge fan of this pairing, enjoy.
He sniffed, annoyed with himself that he, Garfield Mark Logan could get sick on today of all days and it made him sad he could not help out his teammates while they went and fought Doctor Light...again.
But at least he had one perk from his hazard state and that was the Tamaranean woman currently watching over him who was also his girlfriend, Starfire.
While he was snuggled deep into the blanket at the bottom of his bunk bed, she was trying to get a thermometer into his mouth to check his temperature, without success.
"Beast Boy, please. I must insert this under your tongue if I am to know if you are improving or not." She huffed, starting to become impatient at the stubborn sixteen year old who was trying to turn away from her and moan, only her superhuman strength keeping him from ignoring her and be left to his distress.
"It is not my fault you flew into the cold to try to buy your new video game. I did offer to get it for you as I am able to withstand this planet's weather to a certain degree but you wished to play the gentleman. Now you are paying the price." She snapped now folding her arms across her chest and receiving nothing more then a moan from the changeling who buried himself under his blanket as soon as she let go.
With a sigh she leaned back into her chair, knowing that doing anything by force would only make him more withdrawn or as was the case now, whine and complain some more.
Shaking her head she wondered how she ever fell in love with such a young man who acted like a child at moments such as these.
"I'll trade you checking my temperature for a kiss." He bargained, though it was slightly muffled under the blanket and she rolled her eyes with a frown.
"I do not wish to catch the illness from you, and even if it is tempting one kiss will not help you improve your condition, my love." Starfire responded in an irritated tone to which he could only mutter something softly under his breath.
"Alright, alright...but I want to play on the Gamestation for two hours after this." Beast Boy replied as Starfire shook her head, though she had forgotten the gesture was pointless as he couldn't see it.
"You need your rest and you have yet to eat the soup Friend Raven made you, so you'll only get an hour on it. Do we have a deal?" She answered with a smirk watching the morpher slowly pull the blanket off his head and down to his chest lifting his head to look her in the eye, a firm expression on his face.
"An hour and a half."
"Thirty minutes." She shot back in a bemused tone making him squeal before leaning his head back on the pillow in defeat.
"Fine, an hour." He relented as she did a mental fist pump in victory.
"Good, now open your mouth and say ah." She ordered lightly before taking the device in her right hand and placing it under his tongue, once she took it out after a few seconds she nodded at how his fever was starting to drop slightly and smiled to herself before looking into his captivating forest green eyes.
"I love you, Garfield." She whispered setting down the thermometer down on the small stand next to the bed and placing her left hand on his cheek which he softly kissed and gave her a wink.
"I love you to, Koriand'r." He replied, his voice was weak from his throat clogged up with mucus and spit and the fever hurting his head but he was serious all the same.
As she removed her hand and began to stand and turn on the small t.v. in his room as well as pick up the video game system's controller and the remote for the t.v. from the floor and hand over to him she could not help think to herself that for all the trouble the small, green prankster and comedian did to their squad again and again that she was glad to be with him.
Their relationship was not easy and on more than one occasion have they verbally gotten into a loud argument like every couple but through everything, Princess Koriand'r of Tamaran thought that she could not have chosen a better man to give her heart to, this was just another hurdle in their ever growing bond into the future.
"Can I have some more orange juice, hun?" His whining once more reaching her ears as she rolled her eyes while her back was turned, a smile ever present on her face as she walked towards the exit.
The things she did for love.
