Evie and Mal walked out of Chemistry together hand in hand. They were smiling and laughing about who knows what? Evie started talking about the dance later that week,
"So were going to the dance right?"
"Of course!"
Mal yelled. Ecstatic at the The thought of her and her girlfriend dancing the night away together.
"We have to go dress shopping!"
"Ooh! Sounds fun! Let's go later t-t..."
Mal was cut of by her own sneezing,
"HGSSH HRGSHH."
(How do you write sneezes?!?)
Evie turned to her girlfriend,
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine."
Mal said, resisting the urge to cough. When they made it back to the dorm, Mal sat down on the window seat. Her throat hurt and she didn't feel like talking when Evie walked over.
"Hey, what's going on?"
Evie asked, concern filling her voice.
Mal turned to face her girlfriend,
"Nothing, I think I just caught a little cold. No big deal."
Mal explained hoarsely
"It's a big deal to me."
Evie said sweetly,
"Come lay down, let me take care of you, help you get better."
"No Evie, you don't need to do that!"
But Mal's protesting was for nothing because Evie lead Mal over to her bed and made her lay down. Evie stroked Mal's forehead,
"You need to rest."
Evie ran across the room and grabbed a box of tissues,
"Here."
She said handing Mal the box of tissues.
Mal grabbed one and blew her nose. When she was finished, she looked up at her girlfriend and groaned. Evie sat down on the bed and cupped Mal's face,
"Malie, you're gonna be just fine. Recovering takes time. I'll go make you some soup okay?."
Evie stood up and then walked to the kitchen. Through the door she called,
"I'll be back in just a minute! I promise!"
Mal smiled. A few minutes later Evie walked into the room. She found Mal asleep snoring softly. Evie smiled as she basked in the cuteness of Mal. She quietly stepped over to the bed. She shook Mal gently,
"Hey, Mal... I brought you some soup."
Mal slowly opened her eyes,
"Thank you babe."
Evie sat down on the edge of the bed. She leaned in closer to Mal and kissed her.
"No! Stop!"
Mal whined,
"I dont want you to get sick too!"
"That doesn't matter. What matters is your recovery. If I get sick, I'll be okay as long as you're better."
Mal smiled. Evie leaned in to kiss her again but just as their lips were about to meet, Mal turned away and sneezed. Evie backed up suddenly. She turned to the bowl of soup and grabbed the spoon. She brought the spoon to Mal's lips. Mal sipped at the soup,
"Thank you for taking care of me. I love you."
"I love you too Mal."
Evie grabbed a tissue out of the box and wiped Mal's nose.
"There. You'll be feeling better soon."
Evie leaned over to kiss Mal once again. Leaving Mal giggling a congested laugh...
A couple days later Mal was better. Her cold had finally disappeared... I say disappeared, I mean, moved... to someone else... Mal walked into the dorm room she shared with Evie, a box of tissues in hand. But this time they weren't for her. Mal made her way over to a sick Evie.
"I told you you were gonna get sick!"
Mal shouted playfully.
"I know. but it was worth it! I got to help you get better!"
"Well now, I'm gonna help you get better."
Mal said kissing Evie.
