The stove is turned off and the pot is removed from the heat by a goat monster. As she does this a human dressed as a cowgirl in the room opens the cabinets and pulls out a bowl and brings it over to her.
“Thank you, Clover.”
“Ya welcome, Toriel.”
“Clover, are you sure you don’t want any? There is plenty to spare.” she asks while pouring the bowl.
“No thanks, mam. Ah had somethin’ to eat just before Ah left mah house.”
“Well dear, if you ever feel hungry, you can grab a bowl.” She then hands the bowl to the deputy.
“Make sure you warn them it is hot, okay?” She smiles at Clover and she nods back before taking the bowl. Clover then makes her way to the living room. On the couch wrapped in a blanket is her partner Chara, suffering from a cold. She quietly walks over to them and places the soup on a nearby table before turning towards the couch. Heh, they are adorable. She gently places her hand on top of the shape that is quietly snoring.
"Chara, thime ta wake up." Clover says quietly while shaking them. It slowly arises with a small groan.
"Clover?" they state "Is that you? When did you get here?" a small chuckle escapes the deputy and she waves at them. Chara arms proceed to grasp out and starts pulling Clover towards the couch only for her to fight against it.
“Ch—Chara!”
"Cold. Give me your warmth."
"Nuh uh, ah donna wanna get sick." She tries fighting back while trying to avoid hurting her sick partner. Unfortunately as she struggles Chara’s grip tightens and…

Both kids immediately pause at the sound as a red dust spreads across Clover’s face. A smirk forms across the royal’s face.
“Donna ya dare.”
Chara ignores the warning and releases their grip slightly before strengthening it again, repeatedly.

"Pll-please (squeak) stahp it Chara." her blush spreading across her entire face. Chara stares at Clover in the face with a small pout.

"CHARA!"
The royal decides to be merciful and releases their girlfriend before sniffing the air.
“What’s that smell?” Clover then grabs the bowl of soup.
“Yer mom and Ah made ya chicken soup for your cold. Chara sits up and slowly takes the bowl and begins eating while Clover gets on the bed. Clover sits on the floor and watches her partner drink the soup.
“So, how ya doin Buddercups?”
“My head is killing me.”
“Awww, Ahm sure everthin will be fhine, Chars. Da soup will help.” she says while smiling.
“...thanks, Lucky.” Clover proceeds to then sit on a nearby chair and grabs the remote.
“Wanna watch somethin, love?” Chara’s face turns a bright red before answering.
“Owl House” Clover flips through the TV and puts on the show.
By the time the episode is over Chara had long finished the soup. Clover takes the empty bowl and brings it to the kitchen to wash it out. Afterwards she returns to the living room and hears Chara yawning.
“Tired, Dreemurr?” she teases
“Shut up, cowgirl.” Clover lets out a chuckle before noticing Chara staring at them.
"Is dere somethin on mah face?" Clover tilts her head in confusion. Suddenly Chara leans forward and starts nuzzling their face on their girlfriend. She leans out of reach causing Chara to faceplant onto the ground.
"S–Sorry Budd-buddercups, but ya gonna get mah sick by doin’ that!" Clover walks over to pick up Chara only to find them smirking.
“Got you.” they state and lean in to plant a kiss directly on Clover’s lips. Her face instantly burns a bright red and her brain scrambles.
“Hehe, you are so pretty when you get embarrassed.” They tease and Clover uncovers her face.
“Why are ya like this?” She whines.
“Cause I love you and need your warmth.” with a small pout and the deputy lets out a sigh.
"Ahlright, fine Buddercups, Ah will stay with ya." Clover then grabs the nearby blanket and wraps Chara up before pickin them up. It was Chara’s turn to blush. She carries them to its bedroom and places them on the bed and climbs in with it.
“May I be the small spoon?” Clover rolls her eyes at the request but opens up her arms anyways. Chara immediately snuggles closer to the cowgirl and wraps them both up in the blanket. Clover then wraps her arms around her partner who soon follows. Then Chara closes their eyes with a smile on its face.
“Sleep well, Buddercups.” Clover places a small kiss on the top of their head and closes her eyes as well.

"Ah hate ya."
