Sick.

Finnick awakens and feels nauseous. He sits up but it feels like there are bees buzzing around in his head.

He moves his hands to his temples and sighs.

"Uggh." He lets out softly trying not to wake Annie.

His skin feels hot to him and he wants nothing more than to just lie here for the foreseeable future.

He starts to feel more nauseous and stands up and heads to the bathroom just in case.

He gets to the bathroom just in time.

There is no doubt about it, Finnick is sick.

"Uggh." Finnick says again and stands back up. He heads to the medicine cabinet. He opens it but notices the light has been turned on.

"What are you doing Finnick?" He hears Annie ask.

"Oh nothing really." He says.

Annie comes over and her hands brush against his forearms. He sighs by how cold she feels against him. His fever is making Annie's touch feel like ice. Which Finnick likes at the moment.

She moves her hand to his forehead.

"You feel really hot Finnick." She says

"You feel so nice Annie." He says and brings her other hand to his cheek.

"You're sick." She says.

"No, I'm not." He says but not convincing because he sniffles.

"Finnick why don't you go back to bed. I can get you medicine." She says.

"I don't know what you're talking about Annie." He says.

She knocks something off the counter.

"Can you pick that up please." She says. Knowing that with his blocked sinuses it will be uncomfortable.

Finnick looks hesitant but then smiles.

"Of course." He says dreading it with his blocked sinuses he knows he will get a head rush.

He starts to lean down but Annie stops him. She didn't think he would actually try and pick it up.

"Is your pride really that important to you Finnick?" She asks smiling.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He says but the nauseous feeling is building up again.

"What's wrong?" She asks because the look on Finnick's face isn't good.

"Uggh." Finnick says subconsciously moving towards the toilet.

"I'll get you some water." She says knowing that he is going to get sick. Which she doesn't want to see and knows Finnick doesn't want her to see that.

Annie comes back upstairs and sees Finnick leaning against the shower.

She sets down the water and barf bowl she got for him.

She kneels in front of him.

"Finnick, you should get back in bed."

"I don't know Annie." He says knowing that if he stands up he will get a head rush and slight headache which he wants to avoid.

"It's okay Finnick." She says and kneels down in front of him. She smooths his hair. "I'll help you." She whispers and kisses his forehead.

He still likes how cold Annie feels against his skin so he pulls her closer to him.

"Finnick?" Annie says her voice is muffled because she is against his chest.

"Yes?"

"Are you using me as a human ice pack?" She asks smiling.

"Maybe." He says.

She let's go of him.

"Come on, let's get you back in bed."

"But Annie if I stand the pounding in my head will get worse." He says and clears his throat from the build up of phlegm.

She strokes his hair again.

"The sooner you stand up, the sooner you can get back in bed and fall asleep." She says and kisses his forehead. She can feel the heat radiating from his body.

She gets him to stand.

"Uggh." He says.

"It's okay Finnick we're almost there." She says holding his hand.

She gets him back in bed and he lays down.

"Stay here I'm going to get you some medicine." She says and kisses his forehead.

He nods and turns to his side not bothering to put covers on because he knows he will just sweat through them.

Annie comes back with decongestants, Tylenol, cough drops, water, and the bowl.

She sets them on the night stand.

"Finnick." She says gently and runs her fingers through his hair thinking he fell asleep.

He rolls over.

"Take these and then you can go to sleep." She says holding out a decongestant pill and a few Tylenol.

He sits up a little and takes what is in her hand and then lies back down.

"I also brought you some coughs drops in case you need them and I got a bowl in case you can't make it to the bathroom." She kisses his forehead again. "There's also some water and the tissues that are always there."

"Okay." He mumbles and sniffles.

"Finnick, if you need something and I'm asleep please wake me up." She says.

"Okay." He says.

"Will you do that though?" She asks smiling.

"Maybe." He says truthfully.

"I'll take it." She says and lies back down.

Annie is downstairs making Finnick some tea and toast hoping that he will be able to keep it down. He spent most of the night coughing and he got sick two more times.

She gets the plate and mug and heads back upstairs.

She stands above him.

"Annie." He says and clears his throat.

"Are you still stuffy?" She asks.

He nods.

"Did you take a decongestant?" She asks.

"No."

"Well that will probably help." She says and gets one for him which he takes.

"What are you holding?" He asks.

"I made you some tea and toast if you think you can eat it." She says.

"I'll try." He says.

"Okay." Annie says and gives it to him.

He takes the mug and spits something into to.

"Finnick did you just spit your cough drop in there." Annie says.

He nods.

"That way the menthol will get in it."

"Finnick I could just buy you cough syrup."

"No this is better." He smiles.

"That is basically what you will be drinking when it melts."

"Whatever." He says and takes a sip.

He eats slowly.

"Thank you Annie." He says.

"It was no trouble Finnick." She smiles.

"I meant for taking care of me." He smiles.

"Well you take care of me all the time." She smiles. "I would have to return the favor eventually. Besides, this is the sort of thing you do when you love someone."

"I guess that's true." He says and takes a small bite of toast. "Annie." He says again.

"Do you need something?" She asks.

He shakes his head.

"I just wanted to say I love you and that I'm glad you're here." He smiles.

"I'm glad I'm here too." She says and kisses his forehead. "And I love you too."
