in Sickness and in Health

Wallflower let out a yawn, It was just one of those days. She’d woken up that morning with a splitting headache, oh well, nothing she hadn’t dealt with before. Soon after, sneezing, leg pains, stuffy nose. She’d have to guess she’d caught something or other.

Normally she’d just down some coffee and go on with her day, but one little thing wasn’t going to let that happen. Her girlfriend, Sunset.

She’d moved in with the yellow-skinned girl not that long ago, probably a week or two. So when she noticed her partner was feeling under the weather, she insisted she stayed in bed.

Unfortunately for Wallflower’s plans for the day, Sunset wasn’t budging on that. Now she was swaddled in their shared bed, the purple covers only exposing her head. She appreciated the thought, but the green girl didn’t exactly like being stuck in bed all day.

All she could really do was watch tv, which normally she was fine with. But today she really wanted to do some gardening. She had a patch of Penelopes that would be blooming soon. She always loved seeing her plants grow, it was just one of the little things that brightened up her day.

“Wallflower, I made you some soup!” Her girlfriend called, coming up the stairs. The young woman had a bright smile on her face, “How are you doing?”

“Hey, Sunny…” she replied hoarsely, “you really didn’t have to, I’m fine.”

“Yeah, nice try,” Sunset said, setting a tray table over her girlfriend’s lap, and setting the soup on top of it.

The green girl pulled her arms out of the covers, taking a spoon from the other girl's hands. She may not have felt she needed it, but she also didn’t wanna waste Sunset’s hard work. She dipped the spoon into the food, then brought it to her mouth, feeling a warm sensation as the broth poured down her throat. It was good, she’d give her that.

“Thank you,” she said, quietly continuing to eat.

“Now really, how are you feeling?” Sunset asked again, sitting at the foot of the bed, “I’m not gonna judge you for taking a sick day.”

“I really am fine, Sunny,” Wallflower replied, taking another spoonful of her soup, “you don’t have to worry about me.”

“Of course I do, I love you, it’s practically my job,” Sunset joked, “besides, I know how unlikely you are to take a break when you need it.”

“Oh, Haha,” Wallflower gave a fake laugh.

“I’m serious, you gotta take care of yourself,” the yellow girl said, “What am I gonna do if you end up in the hospital because you didn’t take your health seriously?”

“I think that's a little extreme, Sunny,” Wallflower gave her a look.

“Well, still,” Sunset said.

Soon enough, the gardener girl finished the meal her partner had made. She leaned back with a yawn, “Thanks, sunset.”

“Don’t mention it,” her girlfriend said, kissing her on the forehead and taking the empty bowl, “let me know if you need anything.”

“You still don’t need to do all this for me,” Wallflower said as she started for the stairs.

“Of course I d-d-ACHOO!” Sunset’s sneeze cut her off, almost making her drop the dishes in her hands.

“Huh, now who’s sick?” Wallflower smirked.

“I’m fine, it was just a sneeze,” Sunset shook it off, a bit of blush on her cheeks.

Her girlfriend raised a brow, “Really? After all that talk about taking care of yourself?”

“Oh come on, I’m telling you, I’m fine,” the yellow-toned girl said, trying to inch her way out of sight.

“Nice try, Sunny, I don’t buy it,” Wallflower said, moving the covers and patting the side of the bed she left unoccupied, “Get in here.”

The two locked eyes for what felt like years, neither blinking. Sunset looked at the coy smirk that adorned Wallflower’s face. As much as she didn’t want to admit it, she was being a hypocrite here. She let out a groan.

“Fine, you’re right,” She conceded, walking over to their bed. She set the tray on the nightstand and climbed in. Wallflower draped the blanket over her partner, “You can be a real pain sometimes, you know that?”

“Oh, you love me,” Wallflower said, setting her head on the redhead’s shoulder, “Comfy?”
Sunset replied by wrapping her arm around her green mate, “I am now.”

A smile formed on Wallflower’s face. She leaned up and planted her lips on her Partner’s, health be damned, they were sharing a tender kiss. Sunset hugged her tighter as time seemed to slow.

When the two finally separated, Wallflower yawned, setting her head on Sunset’s chest. The yellow girl snuggled closer to her, brushing one of her green locks out of her face.

“I love you,” Sunset said in a soft voice.

“Love you more,” Wallflower said in a sleepy voice, letting out another yawn, her eyes slowly drooping as she drifted into sleep. Her breathing slowed to a steady pace. Sunset wondered what dreams would creep their way into her partner’s mind, she hoped pleasant ones.

She planted another kiss on her sleeping partner's forehead, she was so cute when she slept.

After a few minutes, she was sure the gardener was completely asleep. For a moment, she considered slipping out of bed. After all, she did have some things she wanted to do today.

She shifted her arm just a bit, causing the sleeping Wallflower to sturr just a bit. He gave a sigh but then smiled, putting her arm back where it was. The sleeping girl may not have said anything, but she was right, it was Sunset’s sick day too.

“Alright, I’ll take my own advice,” Sunset whispered in defeat. She shifted herself to get comfortable, setting her head on the sleeping girl’s, letting out a yawn of her own, “Goodnight, Wallflower…”

Soon, she too drifted to the realm of slumber. Her only thought was that her partner would still be there when she awoke...

Author's Note

I dunno why everyone in this contest is writing angst fics, Lesbians are at their best when they're wholesome, and or chaotic.

Get some therapy, y'all. :ajbemused:
