Nathaniel hiccuped and buried his face in V's chest. "It's a s-stupid fear and I get that, but that doesn't mean I'm not afraid, and… a-and it doesn't mean I'm not allowed to be afraid…"
Nathaniel hiccuped and buried his face in V's chest. "It's a s-stupid fear and I get that, but that doesn't mean I'm not afraid, and… a-and it doesn't mean I'm not allowed to be afraid…"
"it's not a stupid fear Nath. And whether it is or isn't you're obligated to feel however you want to feel." He lightly stroked the bridge of Nathaniel's nose andheld him close. "I just hope this can be done you can feel.more comfortable around, even if she's a doctor. And if not, that's ok too." He settled on the couch and pressed a kiss to his head "want me to talk with her first before she talks with you?"
"I-I dunno, maybe…" Nathaniel kept his face hidden, wrapping his wings around himself as he trembled. "I don't… I don't want her to try anything… I-I don't trust her…" He mumbled weakly.
"she won't love. Probably just asking you questions, maybe a general check up to make sure it's nothing serious and then give you some medicine that will actually help." He explained, pressing his lips to Nathaniel's temple. "Want some breakfast now or after?"
"Not hungry…" Nathaniel mumbled softly, his heart pounding hard in his chest. "Don't want food… wanna stay here." He coughed a bit and huddled closer, his cheeks flushed with fever.
"you can stay as long as you'd like." V murmured, worried that Nath wouldn't eat but not wanting to push him, at least not until after the check up. He glanced up when a he heard a knock at the door, "come in!"
Jarvis and Urielle entered along with a young woman who looked like Jarvis, saved for the honey blonde curls and dark brown wings, more bird like than angel wings
Nathaniel looked up when he heard footsteps and froze upon seeing the woman. His wings puffed up and he tried to get away, only really succeeding on getting himself tangled up with V. He started panicking, his eyes wide with fear as he hyperventilated.
The angels looked on in concern as Nathaniel tried to distance himself from the woman. "We'll be outside, let us know when Nath is alright." Urielle said, gently guiding Jarvis and Ariah outside.
V nodded and hugged Nathaniel to him, holding the small angel against him as he tried to get him to calm down. "My love, please. She hasn't even done anything yet. Please just hear her out." He begged, brushing aside Nath's hair and trying to get him to calm his breathing
Nathaniel buried his face in V's chest, sobbing weakly. His wings were still puffed up, and he seemed terrified. "P-Please… I c… I c-can't do this… please…" He whispered, choking on his sobs and hiccuping. "Please, V…" He was obviously distressed; seeing the woman only made the fears feel more real to him. He couldn't trust her. He didn't want her anywhere near him.
"I know Nath, and I'm sorry. I really am Nath but she's here to help you. She's not like the other doctors I promise." He sighed softly and glanced around, "want me to bring you to the bedroom? Urielle can stay with you while me and Jarvis talk with Ariah in here. You don't have to talk to her if you're not ready." He suggested, slowly standing and adjusting his holds on Nath's curled up body.
Nathaniel whimpered shakily and held tighter to V, hesitantly nodding. Maybe he could calm down more quickly if he could curl up under the covers in bed. "I-I don't wanna… d-don't wanna talk to her…"
"alright, that's fine. She might ask you some questions though and might want to look you over." He said softly, taking Nath to their bedroom and setting him down in the bundles of blankets they had, allowing him to get comfortable.
Nathaniel huddled up under the blankets, still crying softly and shaking. He buried himself in his covers, almost as though he hoped that the doctor wouldn't see him if he could hide himself in the sheets.
V watched as V huddled into the blankets, "I'm gonna go talk to her, alright? I'll be back soon." He said softly, heading out if the bedroom and leaving the door open just a bit in case Nath wanted to hear what was going on
"Mm…" Nathaniel huddled up tighter and huffed indignantly, still crying softly. He tried to keep quiet, however, so that he could hear what V was saying to the doctor.
V opened the door to allow the three back in, apologising for Nath's out burst and guiding them to the living room.
"There's no need to apologise Valderian. Believe me it's not the first time I've had that happen and it won't be the last." Ariah said with a reasuring smile, glancing over at the bedroom door before focusing back on V. "Can you tell me what's going on with Nathaniel. Urielle and Jarvis told me he's not much of a talker, especially to doctors.
V nodded "they're right." He took a deep breath and explained everything from the beginning, how Nath had seemingly had a cold for what seemed like weeks now, had been throwing up constantly even with help from medications and had barely eaten anything unless it was with Urielle or Jarvis.
Nathaniel listened in to the conversation as well as he could while buried in the covers, curling up into a tight ball. He was still anxious, and felt awful at the same time. His cheeks were flushed with fever, he was shivering violently, his stomach was churning, and he was clammy all over. He was generally just incredibly uncomfortable, and there wasn't much he could do about it.
Ariah nodded slightly as V explained everything. "I'm glad you called, V." She said with a small smile.
V sighed softly and shrugged "not sure how good it'll do, he's not too happy about this. I get why but I just wanted to help him not make him feel worse."
"He'll be alright." She reassured, watching as Urielle stood and headed over to the bedroom, gently knocking on the door before slipping inside.
Nathaniel looked up warily when Urielle came in, huddling up tighter to hide himself in the blankets. He's probably going to try and force me to go see her… He whined softly in protest and buried himself fully under the covers, wrapping his wings around himself as he trembled. "N-No… please…" He whispered shakily, obviously still afraid.
Urielle's eyes softened as he settled beside Nathaniel, lightly reasuring his hand ontop of his wings. "I'm not going to bring you to her Nath, just thought you wanted some company." He said softly.
Ariah went over the symptoms again, making sure she understood what was going on. She asked a few more questions about Nathaniel, most generalized sleep patterns and over all health.
She frowned softly when V told her about how Nath had been kicked out of heaven.
"Such a young angel should never go through something like that." She whispered softly, hugging her sides and taking a deep breath. "Can I see him?"
V slowly shook his head "I don't think he'll let you see him."
Nathaniel reluctantly poked his head out from under the covers and huddled up against Urielle, still trembling. "I-I'm sorry…" He whispered weakly. "I'm… I'm being a problem, aren't I?" He hiccuped a bit and wrapped his wings around himself. "I-I just… I don't… I don't wanna see her…"
"no angel, you're not being a problem. Ariah understands your choice not to see her and she can treat you just as well through description. We'd prefer if she saw you in person just to make sure you're alright but it's alright if you don't want to see her today." He said with a smile, wrapping his own wing around the tiny angel. "would you be okay with talking with her a bit? Or more, she talks to you She doesn't have to come in here, she can just stay at the door."
Nathaniel whimpered softly and clung tighter to Urielle, clearly unsure and uneasy. "I… I-I dunno… maybe…" He whispered, his breathing starting to quicken already at the thought of it. "I-I just… I really don't want her to touch me… I'm not… I'm not comfortable with that right now…"
"that's absolutely fine. You won't even have to see her. Shell just be on the other side of the door, okay?" Urielle said, standing slowly "I'll be right back okay? Want V to stay in here with you?" He asked before he headed back out to the living room
"O-Okay… and… and yeah…" Nathaniel replied weakly, huddling back up under the covers when Urielle left him. He curled in on himself, trying to keep himself from hyperventilating as tears stung his eyes.
