Nathalie put the glass of water on the table. Suddenly her body felt heavy. Her vision blurred and her head felt light. She opened her mouth, but before she could speak, she passed out.

"love? Natalie?!" he took her head in his arms "love wake up." he scooped her up in his arms and carried her to his room, setting her down on his bed. He grabbed a towel and a basin of water, wringing the water from it and putting it on her head. "too much excitement for one night, huh?" he gave a weak smile and stroked her brow "please, love, please wake up."

"Let your despair be embodied in a powerful protection… protection… protection… protection…"

Nathalie gasped and tried to sit up, but her body was unusually heavy. She looked over at Mr. Agreste. "Gabriel…" she whispered.

"I'm here love, lie back, you're safe" he sat up and gently put her head back. "you've been out like a light for an hour, I'll make some food and get some water, you stay here." he went downstairs and grabbed some food

She was breathing heavily. "An hour?" she asked aloud. They were getting worse.

"yes, more or less. are you alright?" He scooched closer to the bed, looking her over for any signs of pain

"Ye-" She cut herself off by wincing and grabbing at her head.

"That's a no." he quickly got up and retrieved a towel. Towering over her, he placed it gently on her drow, pushing loose strands of hair from her face. "Don't move." He instructed as he gently tilted her head up. He slipped his hand beneath her neck and started to massage the base of her head

She moaned softly, conveying her satisfaction. "I… I'm sorry," she managed to say quietly.

(I added something to the post after when she wakes up, so yeah. It's important.)

"whatever for? you passed out, probably from a headache you had earlier." he continued to massage her head, smiling as she leaned her head into his hand. "better?" he whispered

"Much," she answered, her voice sounding strained. "Thank you, sir. I mean… Gabriel."

"good" he looked at her with tenderness in his eyes "I'm glad you're ok" he rested his hand on the base of her neck

Nathalie closed her eyes. She knew she had to tell him… but she didn't want to. Not yet.

"I'm going to turn in for the night, you're welcome to stay here if you'd like, I'll stay on the couch." He went to the bathroom and changed

"No, Mr. Agreste," she said, pushing herself up. "You don't need to move because of me. I'll go." She managed to walk to whole way across the room before stumbling into the doorframe and smacking her shoulder. She bit her lip and held back the cry that wanted to come out.

He shook his head and walked over to her. "Clearly I do." Without another word, he scooped her up in his arms and placed her in the bed "you're staying here, it's not the first time I've slept on the couch, don't worry about me." He smiled and left the room

Nathalie sighed. Reluctantly, she curled up against the pillows and fell asleep.

After settling himself on the couch, he stood and walked to his room, forgetting to grab an extra pillow. He smiled as he saw Natalie, laying on the bed, already asleep. "I don't know what I would do without you." he bent down and kissed her cheek, before retiring to the couch.

Throughout her sleep, Nathalie stirred. She was restless and she woke, sitting up with a gasp, just before dawn. She got out of bed and made it quickly, so it looked just as it did when she had fallen asleep. She hurried to her room and changed out of her dress, only now realizing that she'd hadn't done so last night, and put on her regular clothes. She sat down at her desk and briskly began her work, like usual.

He woke up late, sleeping on the couch was not as comfortable as he remembered. he went to the study to find Natalie in her normal spot at her desk, working furiously. "you're already awake? shouldn't you be resting?" he ran a through his messy hair and looked at her

"No, I'm fine," Nathalie replied smoothly, not looking away from the screen.

"are you sure? You can take the day off if you'd like." He offered

Her fingers stopped. "And do what?" she inquired, her eyebrows arched in question.
