Luna looked critically over Remus's prone body, her mind going over her personal analysis of the situation.

"Luna, can you just go away?" Remus weakly asked.

A giant frown was on her face as she smoothed the wrinkles out of her nurse's uniform. "No, I will not. You're sick, and you need me to take care of you."

Remus grunted as he forced himself into an upright position. "You're wrong. What I need is to be left alone. So, can you do that?"

Luna tried to not let Remus's words bother her. After being constantly bullied, one would think she would be used to mean words, but they hurt a lot more coming from somebody she cared about. "Is it so wrong that I desperately want to take care of you? I mean, you always take care of me when I don't feel well. Why can't I return the favor this one time?"

"I don't need it," he growled.

Luna put her hands on his hips. "You don't need it? Well, you know what? Maybe I need it. Maybe I need to feel like you need me in the same way I need you. I'm sick of our relationship feeling one-side. So, why don't you shut up, lay down, and let me take care of you until you're healthy? Now!"

Remus didn't think about arguing when she got that fierce tone in her voice and that crazed look in her eyes. He simply laid back onto the couch and closed his eyes.

Soft lips pressed a kiss to the corner of his mouth and despite himself, he found himself drifting to sleep as his girlfriend lovingly patted his head and whispered nonsensical words into his ear.

The last thing he heard before he succumbed to his dreams was, "Now this isn't so bad, is it?"

Maybe being taken care of wasn't so bad after all, especially when it made Luna happy.
