A/N: aughhh I am so sorry guys! School started, and junior year has not been very kind since even the first day, so I haven't had much time to write. Again, I am so so so so so so so sorry! I will try to update as much as possible from now on! So bear with me!
It was the coldest store run Jack has ever been on.
He left Hiccup's in a hurry wearing only his pants, sneakers, and thin hoodie out into the cold morning of winter, before the sun had even started to lighten the sky. But his mission on hand was much more important than getting a little cold. Rapunzel had a fever, and Jack felt particularly protective over her at the moment. He wanted to be the one to help her get better again.
After managing to slip and slide to the store without crashing, and lots of debate of what medicine would be best for Rapunzel (he decided on buying both Advil and Tylenol), he made the slow drive back to Hiccup's.
When he got there, he saw something he did not expect: Merida and Hiccup were struggling to carry a sleeping Rapunzel up the large staircase. Merida was manned on her upper body while Hiccup held her legs.
Everyone froze in the awkward predicament of the moment as the door was slowly closed by the icy wind.
The moment passed, and Jack approached the two struggling to hold up the sick girl. "You guys need some help?"
"I think so. We're trying not to wake her up, but so far it's not going to work." Hiccup replied while adjusting his hold on her legs. Nodding, Jack moved to Rapunzel's side. While putting the paper bag of medicine between his teeth as he hooked an arm in the crook of her legs, another snaking under her arms. Pulling her from Merida's and Hiccup's holds, he turned slowly and made his way up the steps. "Don't worry, I got this." He murmured between paper as he stepped away.
Leaving the two at the staircase, he walked down the hallway at the top and turned into the guest room (which was really supposed to be an office originally, but lost that purpose long ago).
Manoeuvring through the doorway and through the dark room, he found the bed and unceremoniously set her down. Removing his arms from under her limp body, he pulled the covers from under her to on top.
Dropping the bag from his mouth he set it on the nightstand, and then proceeded to gently try and shake her awake.
"Punzie, wake up. You have to take your medicine. Punzie?" Her eyes did not open at his attempts. She remained still. Breathing softly. Long hair strewn about everywhere with a flush tinting her cheeks. She looks cute even when she's sick… A blush of his own filling Jack's face.
He sat on the bed, watching her expression. It was tense. Skewed in the uncomfortable heat of her fever. Placing a winter-chilled hand against her burning forehead he cooled her. This will make it at least a little more comfortable. Slowly but surely, her expression relaxed, her head moving unconsciously to nuzzle his hand.
Jack had to choke down the laugh that started to rise in his throat. She's like a cat! The heat radiating from her skin warmed his hand quickly, and he soon replaced this hand with his other cold one.
She tossed under the blankets, curling in towards Jack's position on the bed. "Sorry Blondie, I have to go. You need to get your rest." Removing his hand from her overheated skin, he stood up and turned towards the door. He froze as he saw two figures both standing in the doorway. "Holy-" Jack, flustered and frightened, placed a hand over his racing heart. "You guys scared the crap out of me, you're quiet! How long were you guys standing there?"
"Only a few minutes." Merida backed away from the doorway as Jack stepped out. "Will she be alright? Did she take the med pills?"
"No. I couldn't wake her up to take them. But they're on the nightstand, so she can take them when she does wake up." Jack replied, glancing back at the sleeping Rapunzel.
"Let's hope her fever doesn't go up any more." Hiccup looked back at her along with Jack.
"Yeah." Jack murmured as he closed the door as silently as possible, leaving Rapunzel to sleep away the fever without distractions.
