*warnings: none- just sickness*

---

You woke with a groan as you held your head in your hands. You had a pounding headache that just couldn't be put to ease. You sat up and you felt really warm so you took up off the covers on your side, quietly to not wake up Loki. 

You placed your hand on your stomach when you felt it rumble in pain. You bit back a sob as pain wracked over your body for absolutely no reason. You stood up slowly, slouched over as the pain in your stomach made it hard to stand up straight. You looked out the window to see it still dark outside, although it's getting lighter so you guess it's around 5 or 6 am. 

You feel a sudden urge to throw up so you quickly make your way to the bathroom attached to your room. As you walk across the room your legs give out and you fall to the floor with a loud thud. 

"Darling? Are you okay?" Loki asks quietly, rubbing his eyes. 

You whimper, not able to talk. That's when Loki realises there's something wrong. He quickly stands up from the bed and rushes over to you. "Y/n what's wrong?" He asks with a concerned voice.

"I...I feel sick." You reply, your voice is delicate and quiet. 

He frowns and places the back of his hand on your forehead, checking your temperature. His eyes widen at your warmth. "Oh, darling you're burning up." 

You feel a slight relief from his cool hand and lean into him more. "Let's get you feeling better, alright love?" He says gently. You nod and he helps you stand up from the floor. 

He gently pushes you down so that you're sitting on the edge of the bed. "Can you wait here darling, while I get you your medicine?" He says calmly. You nod and he smiles, making his way out of the bedroom. 

You sit there patiently, arms crossed over your stomach to somewhat help relieve the pain. Loki comes back in with panadol and a cup of water with ice. He hands you two tablets and the water, you swallow the pills and grimace. 

"Would you like to have a warm shower, dove?" He questions. You nod in response.

He smiles and takes your hand gently and leads you to the bathroom. He turns on the shower and holds his hand underneath the running water while he waits for the right temperature. He moves back over to you and starts undressing you gently. 

Once you're naked, he leads you into the shower and the soothing warm water cascades over your body. "I'll leave you be, darling." He says and walks out the bathroom, closing the door but leaving it a crack open. 

You lean your back against the wall and slowly slide down, you bring your knees to your chest while you wait for the panadol to kick in. You don't know how long you sat there underneath the water but you start to feel dizzy, like your drifting in and out of consciousness. 

Then suddenly, everything goes black.

"Y/n? Y/n!" Loki's voice is fuzzy and sounds far away. You can't bring yourself to move or even wake up but you feel the water turn off and someone picking you up. "You're ok, darling. You're ok." That same voice speaks. 

 ---

You wake up, your mind and thoughts are all foggy and you're confused. The last you remember is being in the shower. But now you're in your pyjamas, in bed. Was that all just a dream? Your answer is immediately answered when the familiar feeling in your body arises once more. 

"Darling, you're awake!" Loki rejoyces and scurries to your side. 

"Mmm, what happened?" You ask quietly.

"You passed out in the shower, I came in and found you unconscious on the floor. You scared me half to death." He says in a stern yet soft voice. 

"oh, I'm sorry, Lo." You mumble. 

"No, love. Do not apologise, you're unwell and that is not your fault, okay?" He says warmly, tucking your hair behind your ear. 

You go to sit up but he pushes you back. "Just rest, darling. Let me take care of you." He says with a soft smile. 

You nod. "Okay. What's that?" You point to the mug on the bedside table. He looks to where you pointing and immediately remembers. 

"Oh yes, I almost forgot. I made you some peppermint tea while you were showering." He says. 

Your face lights up and he passes you the warm mug. "Be careful, it's hot." He warns. 

You take a small sip and let out a content moan. "Thank you Loki, I love you so much." You smile and bite back tears. 

He places a kiss on your warm forehead. "I love you too, my dear." 

"Can you cuddle with me?" You asks shyly. He nods and hops in behind you. 

You feel him shuffling behind you and look back to see that he has taken his shirt off, not that you're complaining. "Take off your shirt darling." He orders. 

You furrow your brows but do as told.

 "Good girl," Loki says. 

You lean back into his bare chest and your back is met with a cold surface. You realise that Loki has turned into his jotun form to help cool you down. 

"Loki, are you sure?" You ask, you know he usually isn't comfortable being in his jotun form, even if you find it stunning. 

"Yes, I am sure. It will hopefully help break your fever and keep you nice and cool." He says reassuringly as he wraps arms around your waist. 

"Once you finish your tea you can have a nap. When you wake I will make you soup, how does that sound, love?" He says. 

"Loki that sounds great." You answer quietly.  

"Good. Now just relax, sweetheart."
