"Okay, thanks! See you later!" H hung up and laid with her

Nyx stirred in her sleep and curled close to him. She was warm - worryingly, almost, sweat beading her forehead. She was hugging her bunny, its ears brushing her chin.

He held her and comforted her, also falling asleep

The next morning

Nyx's temperature had rocketed overnight, her breathing raspy.

"Nyx… You're very sick…" He got a ice pack and put it on her forehead

"I'm fine," she murmured, but she obviously wasn't. Her face was chalk white.

"You're sweating a lot, and your face is ghost-like."

"Well, of course it's ghost-like, I'm covered in m-" She coughed. It was rattly and deep.

"And you're coughing. You're sick… Want some soup?"

"Sure…"

He made some chicken soup

Nyx was half-lucid when he was done.

(Lucid sleep is different than regular sleep, fyi)
"Here.." He fed her a spoonful

(Not lucid dreaming, half-awake)
She opened her eyes halfway and obediently let him feed her.

(I hope Nyx gets better doe)
He did it again

(She's been through worse, she just doesn't have much of an immune system buildup)
Nyx let him spoonfeed her. She felt very small and childlike and delicate, like she was back in the lab with Anne.

"Is this awkward?" He asked, after she finished

"I feel like a child again," she murmured.

"Is that a bad thing?"

She smiled. It was weak, but it was a smile. "Not at all."

He kissed her sweaty forehead.
"I'm glad. I love you."

"Love y-" She coughed again.

"I know…" He put the ice pack on her forehead, and laid with her

Nyx curled up against him, careful not to let the ice pack fall off.
