"You're burning up," Natsuki commented, as she leaned her forehead against Shizuru's, feeling the heat that immediately radiated from her girlfriend's flushed face.
"Ara...ara...Natsuki is so cute...when she's worried about me," Shizuru huffed out, as she tried to get enough air into her congested lungs.
"Shhh, stop talking for a little bit now, love. You're really very sick. Your temperature is hovering somewhere around 102 degrees, and I'm very tempted to take you to the hospital," Natsuki replied, as she laid a gentle hand against the side of Shizuru's warm cheek, worry showing in her verdant-green eyes.
"Natsuki shouldn't worry so much about me. I've told her before. This is just a silly little fever, and I'll be good as new in no time. So, Natsuki should instead of worrying, be focused on how we're going to 'celebrate' my return to good health," Shizuru replied while trying to give a lecherous smile, but failing completely when she began to cough right after.
Natsuki immediately reached over, and picked up a glass of water that was sitting on the dresser beside the bed, and helped Shizuru to take small slow sips, until she was able to lie back again against the comfy pillows, and sigh in relief as the cool liquid soothed her sore throat.
"I think we can hold off on any 'celebrations' for the time being. At least until you're feeling 100% better again," Natsuki said with a soft smile on her face, as she gently wiped away the sweat that had formed on Shizuru's brow with a damp cloth.
"Oooo Natsuki is so mean. I want my Natsuki now...I want...my Natsuki...now..." Shizuru trailed off, as her burgundy-coloured eyes began to close, and her breathing evened out into a deep soothing sleep.
Natsuki leaned forward, and placed a soft sweet kiss against her love's forehead, before she leaned back and ran her fingers gently down the side of Shizuru's face.
"Get better soon, love. It's painful seeing you this sick. I miss my healthy Zuru. Please get well again soon," Natsuki whispered softly as she leaned forward again, and this time placed a very light and chaste kiss against Shizuru's lips.
Shizuru mumbled softly in her sleep, and Natsuki heard her name being softly whispered from Shizuru's lips as her love snuggled down beneath their sheets. Shizuru then reached over to Natsuki's side of the bed and gripped Natsuki's pillow, holding it tightly against her form.
Natsuki let a tender smile cross her lips, as she watched her girlfriend cuddle up with her pillow as she then ran her fingers gently through Shizuru's tawny locks. Then moving softly and carefully Natsuki slowly rose from the bed, and made her way towards their bedroom door. She paused briefly by the open door, looking back at her girlfriend still cuddling her pillow. Shizuru seemed to finally be breathing a little better than she had the night before, when she had thrashed around in the bed and Natsuki had had to hold her tightly against her chest, to get her to calm down enough to slip into a restless sleep.
"I'll be back soon, Zuru. In the meantime just get as much rest as you can, so that you'll get better soon. I love you," Natsuki whispered, before she slowly made her way out of their bedroom, closing the door softly behind her.
Shizuru let out a small, contented sigh as her dreams took her away to a place where she and her Natsuki could properly 'celebrate'.
A couple of days later, after Shizuru's fever had finally broken, and she had gotten a full day of rest, and was feeling quite healthy and energetic, Shizuru and Natsuki were finally able to enjoy their 'celebration' together.
