So I'm trash
Sorry that it sucks too, I rushed it

You lie in bed, curled up.

As another cough wracks your body, you gotta wonder how you even get sick in space

"You alright?" Your friend, Pidge asks from where they're sitting at the end of your bed, on their laptop

"Peachy" you respond, making the paladin snort and close their laptop and crawl towards you

"What are you doing?" You stutter, then cringe.
They have to be painfully aware of your crush by now

"Checking your forehead, dummy" Pidge replied, pressing a hand to your head as you exhale in relief

"You know, this isn't really working" Pidge said slyly
"I'll need a more accurate way of checking.."

You swallow, unsure of why your friend was saying this in such a weird tone
"Uhm.. alright" you agree.

Nothing could have prepared you for what they did next.

Leaning down, the paladin placed a kiss on your forehead, causing you to blush madly

"..holy shit you're actually burning up" Pidge said, breaking the moment

"Yknow, I could cool down if I took my clothes off--" you offer jokingly, trying to make a recovery

"As much as I'd like that, we should get you looked at" Pidge said distractedly, causing you to freeze.

They didn't brush away your flirt.

You often made jokes like this, but for Pidge not to laugh them off was unheard of.

So, you hesitantly sit up, placing a hand on their shoulder
"I have a better idea."

And before they can object, you're kissing and it's honestly the best thing ever

As the green paladin awoke beside you, they felt around for their glasses.

Once they were on, Pidge sneezed.

Once, then again, more violently
"..GODDAMN IT (Y/N) I'M SICK!"

"Worth it" you whisper to yourself
