V cradled Nathaniel close “I’m sorry Nath. I truly am. But I think she’s going to be The only that can actually help you get better.” He kissed the side of his head and sighed deeply. “I’m nervous, too.”

Nathaniel whimpered again and gripped V's shirt tightly, tugging at the fabric. It seemed like he was almost trying to rip it to vent some of his frustration, but he didn't have the strength. "I-I don't— wanna— s-see her…!"

“And I don’t want to see you like this!” V replied desperately, pulling Nathaniel away from him and looking him over, trying his best to fight away the tears. “Do you really want to be sick longer If it means you don’t have to see someone who can help Nath?”

Nathaniel sobbed weakly, shaking harder in V's arms. "I know that it's stupid, okay?!" He yelled, choking on his sobs and gasping for breath. "B-But I'm really fucking scared! I don't know what to tell you other than I'm scared!"

V took a deep breath to help calm himself and shook his head. “It’s not stupid to be scared Nath. I understand why you don’t want to see her, considering what other doctors have done to you before. It’s alright to be scared Nath.” He gently pulled him back to his embrace and tucked him safely under his chin. “But there’s a difference to now than before. You have people who are going to protect you from any harm Nath. Me, Jarvis, Urielle, we’re not going to let you get hurt.”

Nathaniel sobbed weakly into V's chest, still shaking violently in the other's arms. "P-Please, V… I… I c-can't… I can't do this…" He hiccuped and tried to rub at his eyes with his trembling hands, his wings quivering behind him on the couch as well.

“You’ve been through much worse Nath. She’s not going to hurt you. She’s going to try to help you to feel better. You do want to get better right?” He asked softly, nuzzling his head and gently wipping away his tears “please Nath.”

Nathaniel choked, sobbing and hiccuping and obviously struggling to breathe. "I-I don't— trust her…" He curled his wings tightly around himself so he wasn't so visible. "She's gonna— s-she's gonna— hurt me…"

“She won’t Nath, it’s Jarvis’ sister, I don’t think she’d harm you.” He argued with a tired sigh. He gently petted Nathaniel's wings.

"P-Please, V… I'm scared…" Nathaniel whispered weakly. "What if she hurts me on accident? Even… s-she could hurt me even if she didn't mean to…"

“Love, I don’t think she’s going to do anything more than check you over and give you a stronger medication.” He said, gently rubbing his back. “I’m not even sure she’ll need to do that. Maybe she’ll just ask questions.”

Nathaniel buried his face in V's chest and sobbed weakly, keeping his wings curled tightly around himself. "I'm s-scared, V… I don't— know how— t-to fix myself…"

V shook his head and tucked Nathaniel into his wing. “My love, there is nothing about you that needs to be fixed. You just caught a cold or something. Everything is going to be alright.” He nudged his head gently, trying to coax him out of hiding. “It’s alright to be scared.”

Nathaniel curled up tighter, keeping his face hidden from V as he sobbed. "B-But I'm being stupid!" He wailed. "I-I'm an adult and I'm still this scared of doctors!"

He shrugged “so? Some people are scared of water, some of flying, some of snakes. There are a lot of things that are seemingly simple that adults are afraid of.” He argued, gently petting Nathaniel’s wings. “Nath, considering your past with doctors, if you can call them that, it’s understandable that you have a deep fear of them. But please believe me when I say that I would never force you to see one unless I truly thought it was the only way to help.”

Nathaniel sniffled weakly and rubbed at his eyes with a dry cough. "I-I just… I feel so stupid and weak and… and useless… I can't even fight off a stupid cold by myself…" He hid his face again, trembling violently.

“You’re not useless Nath. Not now and not ever.” He pressed him close to Nathaniel and tilted Nathaniel's head up. “People go through things like this all the time. Don’t worry, things will pass eventually. Have patience my dear angel.”

Nathaniel kept his eyes closed when V lifted up his chin, trembling violently in his fiance's hold. "B-But I just… I feel that way, a-and I dunno how to make myself feel better…"

V laughed softly at Nathaniel for keeping his eyes closed and pressed a kiss to his nose. “You’re a stubborn angel, you know that right?” He teased lightly, gently petting the bridge of Nathaniel’s nose “well, what made you feel better when you were sick before?”

"Not much, honestly…" Nathaniel hiccuped a bit. "I-I was pretty much just miserable until I started feeling better on my own…"

“You’re sure? There wasn’t anything you did that made you momentarily feel normal?” He Bunche day his mouth tot he side in contemplation, trying to think of something that would make Nathaniel feel better, at least for a few hours

"Not really. I-I mean, I was only eight… I didn't know what to do when I was sick anyway. It was an entirely new experience for me."

V tilted his head, still trying to figure out what he could do. “Well, what about now? Is there something we can do now?” He stood with Nathaniel in his arms, hooking his legs around his waist and just walking around the home

"I dunno… sleeping helps, but I'm not really tired enough to sleep right now." Nathaniel rested his head on V's shoulder as he was carried around and sighed softly.

“Hmm, well, we could always talk about the wedding or something.” He suggested, carrying Nath around to the kitchen, the the around the living room. “Actually I’ve been curious, why’d you choose the beach as our honeymoon place?” He glanced down at Nath with a small smile, genuinely curious
