V nodded slightly and left the room, heading to the living room. He’d come back later to check on Nath but for now he’s give him space. He flopped down on the couch.
one on one?
Nathaniel was pretty much starfishing on the bed at this point, sprawling out at much as possible on the bed to cool off. He whined and stirred pretty frequently.
“I’m assuming our warrior is fighting a battle?” Urielle asked once V came in. V nodded and layed back on the couch. “Yeah, he’s not too happy right now.”
Urielle nodded “well, he has to learn one way or another on gown to deal with it.”
Nathaniel moved more on the bed, curling up into a tight ball and then spreading out, constantly stuck between too hot and too cold to be comfortable. "V…" He called out after a while, whining loudly.
The three angels looked towards the bedroom where Nathaniel called out. V laughed softly and shook his head, standing up and heading over. “Yes my love?” He asked, leaning against the doorframe and watching Nathaniel
"It's hoooot…" He whined, sprawling out on the bed again. "Can I have some water or something…? Jus'… jus' make it stop, please…"
“I’ll see what we can do.” He sighed softly and went to the kitchen to find water and a cool rag. He went back to their bedroom and sat beside him. “Scoot over beautiful angel.” He said softly, handing him water and gently patting Nathaniel’s head with the cool towel
"Mm…" Nathaniel closed his eyes and sipped at the water while V put the towel on his forehead. "I want it to stop, V…" He whispered weakly. "Make it stop…"
“I know sweet angle. Be patient, it’ll go away soon.” He said softly, continuing to dab at his head. “The lady Jarvis knows is still an option if you want her advice.” He said softly, settling beside Nathaniel but still not close enough to touch. “That is, if you want.”
"Nooooo…" Nathaniel whined and huffed indignantly. "Don't wanna see the doctor lady… I don't trust her… I'm sure I'll be fine on my own."
“I-I know my love. I know you don’t like the doctors. But she is an option if you ever want to.” He said softly.
Nathaniel shook his head a bit and sighed shakily, curling in on himself a bit. "I-I don't wanna see her… don't like doctors…"
He nodded “alright. You don’t have to see her.” He glanced at the door way when he heard shuffling and smiled softly at Urielle and Jarvis.
“We have to get going you two. We won’t be able to come over tomorrow but do call us if you need to.” Urielle said, hugging both of them. Jarvis did the same before following his fiancé out the door
Nathaniel waved goodbye to Urielle and Jarvis before closing his eyes. "Getting sick is stupid… and… and dumb…"
V chuckled lightly and pressed a kiss to husband head “it really is lovely, but you’ll get through this eventually.” He reassured, standing to go to the bathroom to rinse the towel again under cold water
Nathaniel whined when V left him, curling up tighter in the bed. He looked up when his fiance returned, and purred as the cool cloth returned to his head.
“Let me know if it’s too cold, alright?” He murmured softly, settling beside him and gently stroking Nathaniel’s head with the towel
"Mmkay…" Nathaniel closed his eyes and sighed, trying his best to relax into the cool touch of the washcloth. "I wanna feel good again…"
“you will love, soon.” He replied, propping his head up on his free arm to be more comfortable. “Have you ever felt this sick before?”
"Mm… once…" Nathaniel coughed weakly. "Pretty soon after I got kicked out, actually. My body wasn't prepared to handle all the human diseases on earth and I was horribly sick for a while. Sicker than I am now."
He nodded, remembering back to when they had left heaven. V himself had never really gotten that sick but he imagined it was difficult for Nathaniel. “Was there anything that Urielle or Jarvis did before that helped you get better that we haven't tried yet?”
"Mmm… they made me drink a lot and take cold baths. And they made me drink some purpley liquid thing that tasted really bad…" Nathaniel coughed weakly again and huddled closer to V.
“Hm, probably cold medicine.” He said, thinking over what it specifically could be in case they could find it later. He wrapped an arm around Nathaniel, pulling him gently to his chest. “Cold now, angel?”
Nathaniel nodded stiffly and tucked his head under V's chin. He quivered in the other's arms, obviously frustrated and uncomfortable. He really just wanted to feel good again.
“Alright, let me know if you get too hot and I’ll let you go.” He said softly, flattening down Nathaniel’s wings and straightening out some of the ruffled feathers
"Mmkay…" Nathaniel yawned and huddled closer to V for comfort. "I just want it to go away… I wanna feel good…"
V gently ran his hand through Nathaniel’s and pressed soft kisses to his brow. “You will, Nath. You’ve been through worse. Just be patient and try to focus on getting better.”
"Mmm…" Nathaniel coughed a bit and curled up tighter. "I don't wanna see the doctor… don't wanna talk to her…"
“You won’t see her my love.” V said softly, nudging his head “not unless things get more serious, but I don’t think we’re there just yet.”
"Nooooo… I don't wanna see her ever…" Nathaniel coughed again, rubbing his throat with a wince. "Nngh… I-I'll be fine…"
