Sick Day Prompt

Soup

"But Jauneeee!" Ruby whined loudly.

"No buts!" He retorted quickly, not even giving her the chance to try and let her change his mind. "I want you to stay in bed for the day and rest! You've been exhausted from all of your recent missions and it is showing!"

Ruby pouted in retaliation at the young man's demand. She had to admit, he was right. She had finally arrived home earlier this morning after her time in Mistral with the rest of Team RWBY. It wasn't anything particularly straining, but it had rained the entirety of their trek and her, along with the rest of her team, were now suffering from a case of the "sniffles", as Weiss had called it.

You could imagine Jaune's displeasure when she walked in coughing and sneezing her head off and so he immediately sent her to her (their) room so she could recover properly. It was a fight that he was not backing down from him to the point where he had successfully moved her by force via over-the-shoulder kicking and squirming to the bed.

"Hmph!" Ruby stated with a grimace and crossed arms.

She offered nothing after that to which Jaune simply sighed and face palmed. Sometimes he didn't know what to do with her. They were a bit older and grown now but his wife was still a kid at heart and knew how to act like one when she wasn't getting her way. It looks like this was going to be a fight. Well, first thing's first, I guess.

"Look," He stated gaining her attention with a serious stare. "just hang out here, I'll be right back."

"Whatever." She muttered with the same pout, crossing her arms even tighter in protest.

Jaune blinked a few times before turning and leaving the room, being sure that she could here another defeated sigh from his mouth as he disappeared down the hallway.

I hate being sick. Ruby thought to herself as she remained in bed as she had been told. She didn't want to spend her first day back on her day off stuck in bed! It was supposed to be cuddling time on the couch while they pigged out on snacks! How did Jaune not understand that?!

But nooooooo, he was going to make her stay in bed for whoever knows how long. Ugh!

Ruby was interrupted from her thoughts as she heard the thunder crack of thunder coming from outside her bedroom window. She looked as the rain continued to pour down. It was just like her entire trip. Rain. Nothing but rain. She felt a small shiver tingle down her spine slowly as she coughed into her shoulder slightly.

She laid back onto her pillows that Jaune had stacked up for her and let out an exhausted sigh. Maybe I really should just sit here. She mulled over, realizing the day was not going to be salvaged. She needed the rest so she could have fun tomorrow with any hope. Stupid immune system! She cursed.

"I'm back!"

Ruby looked over towards the door to see Jaune returning, a smile on his face as he stepped gingerly with what seemed to be a bowl? Wait… I know that smell.

Jaune approached the bedside as Ruby acknowledged him with a curious stare. He sat on the edge of the bed and held the bowl in his lap as she looked over. It was as she thought. It was chicken noodle soup, and it was freshly prepared by the looks of it!

"My mom used to always bring me soup when I was sick, so I thought it might do you some good." Jaune commented as he scratched the side of his face.

Ruby felt the blush creep onto her face as she looked at the blonde. Even now, after a year of being married and knowing him as long as she had, he still found ways to make her heart flutter. He must have made this while I was getting changed.

The aroma was pleasant, and she had to admit, she hadn't a decent meal in all of her trip and soup, though simple, sounded amazing right now. She could feel the drool forming at the corners of her mouth as Jaune noticed her fixation on the food and laughed to himself.

"Here." He spoke, bringing her attention back to him.

Gently, he grabbed the spoon and scooped a small serving before lifting the soup from the bowl. He noticed how piping hot it was and opted to blow on it slowly before he moved it towards Ruby's face.

"Say 'ah'." He commented.

Ruby's blush was back at his words. Surely he knew she could feed herself at a time like this. This man sometimes. That being said, she kind of enjoyed being waited on. The idea of someone wanting to take care of her sounded nice, especially when she was starting to realize how hard it was hitting her.

She opened her mouth as he requested and he inserted the spoon gingerly into her mouth. She slurped the soup quietly, enjoying the warmth as she took it in before swallowing the fluid. She smiled as he retracted the spoon and began scooping once more. Not only was the taste good, but it made her stomach, no, he whole body tingle!

She opened her mouth as Jaune offered her more soup, enjoying scoop after scoop.

"Once this is done, I'll draw you a bath and rub your back while we lay in bed together." Jaune spoke again.

I love being sick.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Being sick doesn't have to be so bad all the time. Sorry for the late release, but I'm catching up, I swear! Expect more!
