Sooo sickness fluffahness. Yay! Please leave more ideas!
Deadlox's POV
I was woken up when Awesomestar called me, at around 1:30 in the afternoon. Groggily, I answered it and tried to sound wide awake. "Hello?"
"H-hey Ty." Awesomestar's voice was rough and scratchy, not to mention it was faint.
"Awesomestar? Are you okay, you sound awful!"
She coughs several times before responding. "No, I was in the Mineshaft the other day, and it turns out that there was a Greencough bug going around."
"But, isn't Greencough dangerous?!" I was starting to freak out a little.
"To cats, to humans, it's as bad as a sore throat combined with a stomach bug. I-it's no big deal. I'm just calling to tell you I can't do that parkour map with you."
"Good, because I'm not doing it anyway." I reply, throwing on my white shirt and adjusting my headphones.
"You've been looking forward to this map for months."
"I don't care. Where are you?"
"My quarters in the base. Why?"
I knock on her door, and when she opens it I answer. "Because I'm taking care of you." Before hanging up.
Her eyes widen. "Deadlox! Y-" she starts coughing again. I put my hands on her shoulders and steer her towards her bed.
"Shut up. I'm your boyfriend and your best friend, therefore, I'm obligated to take care of you, and you can't do a damn thing about it." I have no idea where that came from, but it felt like the right thing to say to her.
Sighing, Awesomestar lies back down, pulling her blankets up. I scratch her behind her ears, something she only allows me to do.
She coughs again, wincing as if every breath tore at her throat. I rack my brain, trying to think of what my mother used to do when I was sick back when I was little.
She would baby me like all moms do and check on me every five seconds. Not a good idea, because I'm not Awesomestar's mother (who she repeatedly tells me was a horrible person and parent figure)
"I'll be right back, okay?" I ask Awesomestar, pressing my lips to her forehead, shocked to find how hot the skin was.
She nods weakly and I dash out of the room and towards the medical bay. Inside, Seto is examining Antvenom's arm, which looks broken in about 50 places.
Seto glances up at me when I walk in. "Hey Ty, how are you?"
I smile, mainly because he had accidentally twisted Ant's arm even more, and he was trying not to scream. "I'm fine, but do you know how to treat Greencough? Awesomestar has it and now she can't do this parkour map with me."
Seto nods. "It's practically a cold, so there's not much to do. Just make her lie down and rest for a while, but don't let her change into cat form, Greencough can be fatal to cats."
I nod my thanks before racing out of the room and towards Awesomestar's. When I walk in she's sleeping, but her green eyes open and focus weakly on me.
The next few hours are me trying to convince Awesomestar to take her meds.
"Come on Starry, you're not going to get better if you don't take it."
"I don't care Ty! It tastes horrible!"
I sigh, turning away before a smirk graces my face. I slide my shirt off and pull my headphones down so they hang loosely around my neck. I brush my bangs out of my face.
"How about now?" I turn back to Awsesomestar, pleased to see that she's visibly flustered by what I'm doing. While she's distracted, I convince her take the pills.
When she snaps out of her daze she blushes and scowls at me. "That was a dirty trick Ty."
I smirk. "You loved it."
Her cheeks turn a brighter red. "Yeah." She pulls me closer. "I guess I did..."
She felt better by the end of the day, thanks to me kissing her forehead to cool her down and snuggling up to her when she was cold.
The bad news is that I got sick because I took care of her. The tables turned, and I knew she would watch over me, just like I watched over her.
"YOU DID THE MAP WITHOUT ME?!"
"YOU WERE SICK!"
"I WANT A DIVORCE!"
"WE AREN'T MARRIED! ... Yet."
