I've been under the weather for a couple days and for the first time I wake up and feel almost human. I can breathe pretty good and feel a lot better. I stretch out and the bed is empty. I frown and sit up just in time to see Chris come back. "Hey..."

Comments

"Hey..." I say as I sit down on the bed beside him. "Sorry, had to pee. I was hoping I'd get back before you woke up. How are you feeling?" I ask and press my lips to his forehead to do a quick temperature check.

[ersatzach]

"I feel a lot better," I say. "I feel good, actually, despite how raspy I sound."

[chris_w_pine]

"You do sound all sexy and raspy," I chuckle.

[ersatzach]

"How sexy," I say. "I think I should take some cold meds..."

[chris_w_pine]

"Yeah, you should," I say and brush his hair away from his forehead. "And get some food in your belly. What do you want for breakfast?"

[ersatzach]

"Pancakes?" I suggest. "Coffee..." I smile.

[ersatzach]

"Yeah, that sounds good," I smile.

[chris_w_pine]

"Okay..." I murmur. I kiss him again softly. "Good morning, baby..."

[ersatzach]

"Good morning..." I rasp.

[ersatzach]

"That sounds... amazing," I say. "If you think its ok... maybe we can go outisde, sit on the deck for a bit? Get some sun?"

[chris_w_pine]

"Yeah, the fresh air will do you good," I say. "Do you want to stay up here and I'll bring you breakfast or do you want to come with me?"

[ersatzach]

"I'd like to come with you," I smile.

[ersatzach]

"Yeah?" I say and he nods. "Thanks..."

[chris_w_pine]

I take his face into my hands and smile. "Good morning, beautiful."

[ersatzach]

"Good morning..." I rasp, kissing his lips softly...

[ersatzach]

"I love you..." I rasp. "Thanks for taking such good care of me."

[chris_w_pine]

"It's what we do, right...take care of each other..." I whisper. "Okay...breakfast time."

[ersatzach]

It feels good to...feel good. I get the pets fed and then pour myself some orange juice and a glass for him and get the coffee going too. "It looks like a nice day..."

[chris_w_pine]

"When it gets a little warmer, we'll head outside and sit in the sunshine," I smile.

[ersatzach]

I smile. We eat and make light conversation. "So I'm healthy enough for make out sessions?"

[chris_w_pine]

"Well...we'll take it slow. If you start to cough I'm putting on the brakes."

[ersatzach]

I sip my coffee and he eats his pancakes. "Feeling better, too?" I ask. The worry was wearing on him..

[chris_w_pine]

"I slept better last night," I admit. He was still and wasn't coughing, his fever has gone down...I felt like I was able to rest.

[ersatzach]

We both take our mugs of coffee and I grab the newspaper for him. We settle onto one of the lounge chairs, my back against his chest. "It's nice...sunny and 72. Gotta love LA."

[chris_w_pine]

He always jokes about the weather here...and how that has turned me into a soft city boy who can't stand the cold. Okay...he's correct...but that's not the point. "It did rain two days ago," I remind him. "Those great big thunderstorms..."
