could hear her sniffle and dropped a box of kleenex on her lap.

looked at the kleenex as they slid to the floor. She just groaned. "Tack.."

chuckled and walked back around to pick them up and put them on the table. "How do ye feel?"

"Like death.." She hated getting sick. She went from independant to a whining mess. "'M cold, I hurt, I don' want t' be sick 'nymore."

sat beside her and pulled her into his chest carefully. "I'll keep ye warm. But the only way I can help ye from gettin' hurt is by medicine."

made a face. "Nej." She didn't like medicine. She didn't get sick very often, but she was never good with being sick. Shifiting she cuddled into his chest to get comfortable.

smiled at that and put his arms around her, rubbing her back lightly. "Just stick it out. Like the Vikings did."

nods. "Ja 'xactly. Medicine only fools y' int' feelin better."

smiled and stroked her hair lightly, wanting to keep her warm.

glad to have his body heat. She liked that he was with her when she was sick like this.

liked being there for her. He felt useful, for once.

thought he was always useful. She loved him, and she loved when he was around, be it him screaming like an idiot or him cuddling her, she was just happy when he was around.

loved being around her, since he knew she appreciated him. "Want me to get ye some tea?"

nodded. "Ja.." She sounded so pathetic right now, and she felt even more pathetic.

didn't think she was pathetic at all. He loved her just as much as he had before she got sick.

glad of that, even if she hated how she was when sick. "'m so pathetic.." She groaned.

rolls his eyes. "We all got our down times. Don't sweat 'bout it."

shook her head. "I can't.. Berwald 'sn't 'round.. So I have t' work 'nd m' boss doesn' like that 'm not in Sweden.." She sighed, stress sick was probably the worst sick in her mind.

sticks his tonige out. "I can help ye. Don't think too much 'bout it."

shook her head. "Nej, 's m' country, not y'ers. Y' gotta do y'er own work."

shrugs. "For ye, I'll take on the added load."

shook her head again. "Nej. Won' let y'." She was stubborn.

hums. "Watch me~"

wouldn't let him. She would keep her work hidden. Or have all digital files on her password protected laptop.

would try his best to do her work for her. Or at least help her.

would seriously not let him help.

would do the puppy face.

wouldn't look right now.

stares at her with the pupppyy faaaccceeee.

looked away and just leaned against his chest.

chuckles. "I'll help regardless."

hit him lightly. "Nej."

laughs at that and stroked her hair. "Come on. Don't be so stubborn."

shook her head, letting him stoke her hair like that. "'M goin t' be stubborn."

sighs. "Of course. Ye're not be a true Swede other wise..."

nodded, sniffling. "Mhmm. I won' ever give up bein stubborn."

held her nose. "I have ways to make ye stop."

shakes her head. "Nej, y' can't."

smirks. "Jaaaa~ I do."

shakes her head again, she began to protest but starts to cross.

sighs and just pulled her more against him. "Just be good."

groaned a little bit, but leaned against him. "'m tryin.."

kissed the top of her head. "Try sleepin' then..."

nodded. "Mhmm.." She didn't want to sleep without him around though.

would stay with her, as he always did.

glad for that. she kept her head against him, closing her eyes she began to drift off to sleep.

closed his eyes as well, slowly nodding off. He had missed this
