Doctor
"ACHOO!"
Light cringed, her balance momentarily thrown off as she took careful steps up the staircase of her shared home. Ripples appeared in the warm tea in the soft blue mug she carried, but nothing spilled over, thankfully. Taking care of her fiancé while he had a very bad case of the flu was already time-consuming enough, she did not need to add cleaning a tea stain to her list of , the rosette inwardly sighed, her "patient" already proved to be very whiny when he was sick—
"Light!"
Especially if that patient was Hope Estheim.
It wasn't that Lightning minded Hope's neediness or his lack of ability to take care of himself, not at all. If anything, she already liked to dote over him, so this gave her even more reason to want to take care of him; the problem was that in itself. But it was fine, right? It was perfectly acceptable to want to take care of the person you decided to spend the rest of your life with, knowing full well that Hope did just as much, if not more, when she became sick or even showed signs of the sniffles.
Light reached the top of the stairs and stepped into their shared room, ready to supply her "patient" with whatever it was he needed, because she was glad to play doctor for him.
