Your throat wasn't as sore per say, but you felt an uncomfortable sensation when you swallowed your saliva or ate food. And your nose? Well, it was so stuffy you could hardly breathe. You peeked out your tongue to wet your extremely dry and chapped lips since you were forced to breathe through your mouth. You sighed and clinged the purple handkerchief even tighter in your palm, about to fall into yet another nap when you heard a soft knock at the door.
You sighed yet again and pushed your sluggish form off the bed, and walked to the door to open it.
The door revealed Talbott in a brown flannel jacket and a pair of jeans. He held a paper bag in his hand. When he met your eyes, his entire face softened. You suddenly felt aware of your disheveled state, messy hair and all, but you were pulled out of your thoughts when a low voice called your name.
"Hm?" you answered quicky, grimacing when you heard your hoarse voice after not using it for quite some time. You cleared your throat and gestured Talbott to come into your dorm room. You sat back on the bed with a soft thump, rubbing your eyes as he closed the door behind him, and took his place on your left.
"How are you feeling, love?" he asked, his right hand reaching behind you to rub slow circles on your warm and clothed back, soothing you.
"Like shit." you joked, as an attempt to lighten up the mood. You leaned onto his shoulder, and he held you tighter.
"Did you have your medicines on time?" he whispered, his plush lips leaving featherlight kisses on your hairline. You nodded, shutting your eyes as you reveled in the feeling of Talbott's hand rubbing up and down on your arm.
Suddenly he completely pulled away, prompting your eyes to snap open. He was reaching into the paper bag. You caught a glimpse of grey but then he placed an object onto your lap.
It was an oval-shaped owl plushie, it was almost like a pillow, and it was really really soft. You gasped and smiled as you turned to look at Talbott- but he was already staring at you, anticipating your reaction.
"Tal! I-" you squeezed the plushie,it was so soft!
Talbott smiled at your antics, his hand moving to brush a stray lock of hair behind your ear.
"Do you like it, birdie?" he bit his lip, he already knew the answer but he needs to hear you say it in words.
"Tal, I love it! It's so adorable," you assured him, arms reaching out to give his torso a squeeze.
"Thank you Talbott." you whispered, head leaning on his shoulder as you hugged him tighter. You wish you could stay like this forever.
"I know you can't smell it now, but | sprayed a little of my cologne onto it so you'll have a part of me when you miss me- I know it's weird l'm sorry this is weird I-" Talbott started rambling, but he stopped when you cupped the both sides of his face with your hands. You smiled at him sweetly, which prompted him to let out a relaxed exhale, and you kissed his cheek.
“I love it Tal, I love you,” you assured him, your eyes boring into his sweet amber ones, as he held your right hand tighter to his face, and kissed it.
“I love you too, little bird”
