@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ You’re welcome, sugar
-Doesn’t know you’re staring at me until I glance over at you, eyes forming crescents when I meet they meet yours-
-Waits for you to try the tea, relieve washing over me when it tastes good-
Of course, it is chamomile, so it’s supposed to help you sleep.
-climbs onto the other side of the bed and shuffles beneath the blankets-
If you lay on my chest I’ll hold the ice pack on your head~

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *glances at you when you come back, sitting up a bit more*
Hey...thank you.
*Stares at you for a moment, thinking about how lucky your future mate is going to be. Smiles softly, reaching to take hold of the mug and bringing it to my lips. Blows softly before sipping on it*
This is perfect.
Thank you again

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ Sugar~
-uses my free hand to hold the back of yours as you caress my cheek, leaning into your hold-
I’ll be back as quickly as I’m able.
-pulls back and places the ice pack in your hands-
-Briskly strides out of the room and toward the kitchen. I shut off the timer and slip my phone into my picket. I take the tea bag out of the cup and use the spoon to help push out the excess tea. I toss out the teabag before returning to pour honey into the mug. I stir it up carefully before placing the spoon in the sink. I carefully bring the mug back to my room-
I’m back, Ji
-places the mug onto the end table next to you-
Make sure you drink it, it will help your throat.

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ Seokwoo....
*Trails off when I hear your timer going off, giving you a soft smile*
Be back soon, handsome.
*Caresses your cheeks gently before settling back down against the pillows as I wait for your return*

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ -Your somewhat raspy voice is tugging on my heartstrings, only encouraging me to stay-
I wanna time with you too, Jisung.
-Hears my phone’s timers in the kitchen for your tea-
I feel the same, I like being near you and when we are a part, I can’t help but only want to be with you.
-Glances to the door as my phone is still pinging-
I need to get your tea, Ji. I promise I’ll come in with it and stay in here with you for a little while, okay?

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ You don't have to make the soup just yet.
You can stay a little longer...
*speaks softly, voice a little raspy from not feeling well*
I just wanna spend time with you.
I mean...I know we've practically been inseparable since we met but I feel like I can't get enough of you.

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ So sweet, welcoming me back.
-notices the way you gaze up at me, finding it to be different from how you normally would look up at me-
-it almost makes me feel shy, so when you close your eyes I’m relieved-
You’re welcome, Sugar. I’m happy it feels nice.
-gently adjusts it from time to time, careful not to place it against your head too roughly-
Ah, you being like this is making me want to stay in here so bad. I need to make you soup.

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *waits patiently for you, playing with the edge of the blanket a bit as I wait*
*Perks up when I hear you coming, giving you a smile once I see your handsome face*
Welcome back
*Watches you with an affectionate gaze, looking up when you press the ice pack against my forehead, closing my eyes*
That feels really good.
Thank you.
*Caresses your arm gently, peeking back up at you*

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ Of course, I’ll be back soon
-Returns to the kitchen where the kettle is still warming up-
-I open the tea bag and place it inside the black mug I collected from the cabinet, letting the tag dangle outside of it-
-It’s about ten minutes later and the kettle begins its incessant whistling, only silencing itself once I turn off the burner and remove it from it-
-I press down on the button which pops open the spout’s covering. A few droplets escaping onto the counter. I tilt the spout into the mug and fill it up as much as I’m able. Places the kettle back onto the burner before setting a timer for four minutes. Collects the honey from the counter along with a spoon. I set them beside the mug so I wouldn’t forget to add it in-
-In the meantime, I collect an ice pack from my freezer. Places it in a bag and then wraps it in a thin towel for your head-
-Walks back into my room, sitting on the edge of the bed and leaning over to lightly press it against your burning forehead-
Is it alright, not too cold?

*he sighs and he steps back to his cabin, walking to the bed to sit down on it alone. he grabs a blanket, wrapping it around his legs and leans back against the wall, eyes closing*

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *sits up enough to check out your when you walk away, smiling to myself. Settles back down comfortably with a groan, rubbing my head a bit*
Hm?
*Glances over at you when you peek in briefly*
Yes please. Honey would be great.
*Grabs another pillow and sits it behind me, propping myself up into a seated position since it seems like you'll be coming in with the tea quicker than I thought*

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ -a wide smile forms before a laugh escapes and I pull away briefly to finish laughing-
You’re cute, and completely right!
-leans back in and presses the softest kiss to your forehead, not wanting you to feel sad about me not doing it-
Gosh, I better go, otherwise I’m just gonna wanna cuddle you the entire time.
-reluctantly pulls myself away, leaving the room but keeping the door open just in case you need me for something-
-Once in the kitchen, I fill up my kettle with some water and place it on the stove top, turning it to high so it would boil faster. I collect the chamomile tea from the cabinet along with the honey-
Oh… I should ask him..
-Swiftly strides to the bedroom, peeking my head in-
Would you like honey in your tea?

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *closes my eyes when you lean in, fully ready for the kiss you offer but pouts a little when it doesn't come yet*
Hey, don't leave me hanging.
My forehead needs that kiss. It's part of the treatment ~
*smiles softly, waiting again for the kiss*

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ Great! I’ll make you some right away.
-lips tug into a caring smile, cooing at you looking up at me-
Believe me, I won’t be able to stay away for very long.
-leans in, wanting to kiss your forehead, but I wasn’t sure if you’d stop me or not-

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *closes my eyes when you cup my warm face, letting out a soft sigh at your touch*
Tea sounds perfect.
I love tea.
*Peeks up at you briefly*
Be back soon.

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ You’re welcome, you sweet thing.
-pulls the blankets over you before cupping your face and lightly caressing the skin just beneath your eyes-
Just rest, I’ll make some tea for your throat. Then I’ll focus on making the soup, alright? Do you like tea?

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *lets you take my shoes off then climbs further onto the bed. Lays down and gets comfortable, glancing up at you with watery eyes from being sick*
Thank you wolfie
You're the best.

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ You’re welcome, Sugar
-removes your shoes, carrying them back out to the entrance of the lodge and placing them next to mine. I return like the flash-
Alright, lay down comfortably and I’ll tuck you in before getting started, alright?
-I begin to pull the blankets back, fixing them from this morning has I hadn't bothered to do so earlier-

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *eases myself down onto the bed when you crouch down*
Thank you
*Rubs my red nose a little then sniffles again*
You're so good to me.
I appreciate you.
*Covers my face with my arm when I cough a bit*

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ I really wouldn’t mind sleeping on the floor, but the bed is definitely an upgrade.
-nods, raising a hand to lightly pat the back of your hand as you rub my chest-
-Carries you to my bedroom and turns my back toward the bed, slowly crouching down so you can plop yourself onto it. My arms loosening around your legs so you can move a little more freely-

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ Ahh wolfie...I don't want you to sleep on the floor.
*Frowns at the thought*
In that case, the bed. That way we can comfortably sleep together.
*Rubs your chest gently*

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ Of course, why shouldn’t I be? I want you to be your healthy, sugar glider self.
-frowns to myself momentarily-
Hm, would you be more comfortable in my bed? I would like you to be comfortable. I like both the bed and my couch, but I’m sure I’ll be sleeping wherever you are. So.. I’ll sleep on the floor if I have to.

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ You're really worried about me being sick, hm?
*Sniffles again, though it doesn't do much good considering how stuffy I am*
The couch is fine.
I don't want my germs on your bed.

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ -Hooks my arms around your knees, hoisting myself up carefully-
You’re welcome, Sugar. Don’t worry, if I get sick it will be my fault. I’m afraid I will be watching over you frequently to make sure you start to feel better.
-I explain while exiting the main room without saying goodbyes, much too concerned about getting you to feel better-
-I get to my lodge relatively quickly, not wanting you outside for too long. I unlock it and open the door, kicking it closed with my foot after entering-
Wanna lay on my bed or the couch?

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *waits until you're low enough before carefully climbing on your back, sniffles*
Thank you wolfie. I'll try not to get you sick.

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ -Slowly stands, placing your feet on the ground and helping you to steady yourself-
-kneels down as you requested of me, waiting for you to climb onto my back-

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ I think I can
*Nods softly*
Just get low enough for me so I don't have to jump

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ Sounds good, it’ll be easier if you climb onto my back, will you be able to?
-I ask, knowing you said you’d get dizzy when moving around too much-

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *smiles sweetly at you when you cup my face, kissing you slowly and tenderly each time out lips make contact. Smile widens at the way you stutter, stealing one last little kiss before you move away*
Thank you
*Watches as you disappear before rolling over and burying my face into your pillow, inhaling your scent happily then cuddling your pillow*

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ Me too, it felt really nice.
-Waits until you’ve moved far enough away so I can get off the bed-
I don’t think I could say no, even if I wanted to.
-Turns back so that I’m able to stand in front of you. I lift a hand to gently cup your face, my other hand joining soon after. My head tilts vaguely to the right as I lean in, eyes falling to admire your plump, pursed brims. Seconds later I’ve captured your lips, slowly molding and shaping them together. My heart leaps and my body warms. I part from your lips, but only a mere few centimeters before leaning back in for another kiss. I repeat this two or three times before finally parting-
I-I’m gonna go check for that toothbrush..
-Turns back to the bathroom, my strides long and filled with purpose. I begin to shuffle through the cabinets, drawers and any other nooks I can think of-
