Meg looks up at him and gently placed her hand against his forehead as she set down the book, hoping that his fever had finally broken.
group
Sadly, the warmth had only gotten worse. His face was red now and he was shivering more.
Meg bites her lip in worry as she pulls up another blanket. She reaches into her satchel, pulls out a handkerchief, and dips it into the water before dabbing it against Aaron’s brow.

Aaron makes a face in his sleep, whimpering softly.
“I know, Aaron. It's ok.” she whispers, not wanting to wake him up. “Once the e fever breaks, you'll start feeling better.”
group
He whimpers again, mumbling in his sleep. “Mmmphm…”
She gently shushes him, continuing to wipe his brow as she starts humming.

Eventually, he hums softly and relaxes. His fever slowly starts to go away.
Meg smiles softly as she sees him relax and feels his fever fading. But she doesn't remove the blankets yet.

He leans into her, snuggling into the blankets and humming softly. It seemed like even as his fever disappeared, he enjoyed being under all the warmth.
Meg chuckles softly and places a light kiss on his cheek before going back to reading.

Aaron smiles softly in his sleep. After a long while, he slightly wakes up and mutters to Meg, still half asleep. “Hmm…what are you doing…?”
“Watching over you.” she replies, smiling softly. “I've been reading your book too.” she admits.

He hums, “Why not cuddle me instead…” He mumbles, snuggling into the blankets.
Meg blushes at the suggestion, shaking her head. “I wouldn't want your friend to get the wrong idea about us if he walked in.”
group
Aaron huffs, “He’s fineeeeeee…he doesn’t careeeeee…”
“He said you were like a son to him.” she points out, raising a brow. “I think he cares very much.”
group
Aaron grumbles sleepily, “Mmmmmmphmmmmm…”
“Go back to sleep, Aaron.” she chuckles. “Your fever is gone now. You’ll be able to get some real rest this time.”
group
He huffs, still grumbling. “But I wanted cuddlesssssssss…”
group
(He’s just so cute when half asleep-)
(lol he really is)
Meg blushes again and shakes her head. “Maybe when you are feeling better.”
group
He huffs again, then slowly falls back to sleep.
Meg chuckles softly at the quiet protest but lets him sleep.
group
Aaron stays asleep for most of the day, perfectly comfortable. After a while, he starts to wake up. “Mmm…”
“Good morning, Aaron.” she smiles softly as he wakes up. “Feeling better?”
group
He smiles, nodding. “Yeah…I just had the best sleep of my life-“ He opens his eyes and looks at her. “Hm…quite a treasure to wake up and see such a beauty.”

(And right to the flirting-)
