caitlyn woke up before her alarm, turning it off and getting out of bed quietly. she turned to the other side of the bed, admiring her lover, her violet. caitlyn then proceeded through her morning routine, washing her face, putting on her fancy moisturizers, hanging her uniform up and steaming it, getting it ready for the next few hours, brewing her tea while waiting. she walked into vi and hers shared room, setting her tea down next to her makeup on the vanity.
it had been about 30 minutes since she had gotten up. it wasn’t too surprising that vi wasn’t up yet, but odd that she hadn’t tried to pull caitlyn back into bed. they usually spent 5-10 minutes in bed, arguing about getting up. other times, vi would wake up as soon as caitlyn got out of bed, usually asking why she was up so early, or where she was going.
but vi was fast asleep, barely moving. caitlyn walked over to her partners side of the bed, placing a soft hand on the brawlers forehead, brushing it against her lovers face, to cup her cheek. she was burning up, sweat beading on her forehead, her worn out sleep shirt sticking to her neck and chest.
vi let out a soft groan, lifting a hand up to hold caitlyn’s. “Hey cait..” vi said quietly, emitting a soft smile in return from caitlyn. “Hi love. are you feeling okay, can i get you anything?” “mmh.. you” vi flirted back, making her wife laugh.
“well i’m right here, what else can i get you?” caitlyn moved her hand to stroke vis face. “some water would be nice.” caitlyn moved over to the bedside table, grabbing the pitcher and pouring the pink haired girl a drink. she moved her hand to vis shoulder, helping her sit up and handing her the glass, carefully guiding it up to her face.
“im going to grab you some medicine and a cold compress, ill be right back. stay right here, okay?” “ caitlyn said, placing the glass down, and getting up from the bedside. “yes ma’am” vi joked, trying to avoid being serious. she never liked to take anything serious when it came to her health, especially when caitlyn was worried.
caitlyn padded out of the room, coming back with a cold compress and a handful medicine. “take these, darling.” Vi didn’t say anything, she just took the medicine out of the enforcers hand, and downed the pills with the remaining water.
caitlyn ran a hand through her lovers hair, and moving to place a chaste kiss on vis lips, then softly pressing the cold compress onto vis forehead. “cait, you don’t have to take care of me, i know you have paperwork to do. you can go , i’ll be okay.” vi sniffled, trying to act like she’d be okay on her own.
Caitlyn’s brows furrowed, a concerned look morphing on her face. “hey, i never said anything about leaving. i *want* to take care of you, vi.” she moved to sit on the edge of the bed. vi didn’t respond, just softly smiled back at her wife. “you’re so sweet, cupcake. so good to me.”
“c’mere” caitlyn motioned, violet sitting up to be pulled into a hug by caitlyn. violet hugging her tightly, caitlyn feeling the intense heat radiating off of the other girls body , pulling away and softly tucking vi back into their bed, leaning down to peck a few kisses on the sick girls face, smiling as her soft laugh filled the room, slightly horse from her sore throat.
“cait stop!!” she giggled in between soft kisses being pressed onto her lips, her cheeks and the bridge of her nose by her wife, ignoring her plea. caitlyn stopped, then leaned in to give her a sweet, soft kiss, making vis head spin (or it could be her fever…. either way, it made her happy).
“mm.. what if you get sick?” she said in between another small kiss, caitlyn pulling away to think about her response, hovering over her lovers. “ i’d be okay with that. i don’t mind being sick for a few days if it means i get to stay home and kiss my wife all day long.” she said with a smile, leaning in again to kiss vi again, shifting her body to fit into vi, embracing one another.
“i’ll always be here for you, my love.”
they spent the rest of the day curled up in bed, caitlyn sweetly tending to her stubborn wife, lovingly pampering her.
(Caitlyn got sick later in the week, and vi happily took care of her)
