In Sickness and In Health
Arthur Harrow x Reader
Words: 900
Summary: Your husband was a good man, you knew that you loved him for it.
Arthur was a kind man.
You loved him for his kindness, it was the first thing you noticed about him when you two first met.
His kind eyes, lips and smile. One could say you fell in love with him instantly. One look and you were his.
You were with him through a lot.
Khonshu being one. And how he used Arthur.
But you didn’t have much time to hate the God of the Moon. You started to feel worse and worse after Khonshu left.
At first, you were tired, you didn't even want to leave your bed. When you coughed up blood was the last straw for Arthur as he got you to a hospital.
An illness so cruel, your body turned against itself. You looked at Arthur, you saw the sadness in his eyes, how he looked at you.
Anger, sadness and yet he wasn't going to just let you die.
Do not take his sweet wife.
He couldn't let that happen.
He will not sleep until he finds a way. He could never forgive himself if he just sat there and watched you fade away.
Never.
So, he looked for a way. And his answer came in a world, a new world.
The World of Amit.
"I will create a world. A world where we can be together, healthy, till the end of times." his hold of your hand was strong. You feared what his plan was.
"I trust you, Arthur. And I love you." you really did, even if his words fill you with worry.
When he disappeared for days, you were worried, who knows what he was doing.
But he would often come back and saw you getting worse and worse, seeing you like that hurt him on a level he never thought was possible.
There, in your own bed, you slept, but Arthur feared you were fading away too quickly.
"Just a little more time, My Love." he kissed your hand right above your wedding band as he watched you sleep. You looked peaceful like all your pain disappeared while you slept.
Then one day, you woke up as if nothing happened. You woke up fresh, young and full of life.
You knew your husband succeeded in whatever plan he had. You were cured.
But, you couldn't find him anywhere.
You walked around the apartment, looking for anything he hid from you. Anything he would hide which would tell you where he was or what he was doing.
All you found were books. Egyptian Gods, but you noticed the books were mainly about Amit.
It was strange but then again, Arthur could be like that, strange.
Then as you were ready to give up, you sat down, looking at the bookshelf, you fell asleep.
In your sleep, you saw a crocodile Godess, Amit. You thought you really shouldn't read those books before bed until she spoke.
"You have to find him, or he will die."
You woke up with a start and suddenly, you knew exactly where he was.
As you arrived at the hospital, you thanked the cab driver before getting out.
You saw a while limousine in front of the hospital, which was strange, you thought.
Just as you walked in, a man seemed to be wheeling Arthur out in a wheelchair.
"Excuse me?" you asked, making both of them look at you. "Is visiting time over or...?"
"My Love!" said Harrow before the man could answer. Then as you looked the man up and down, you realized he certainly wasn't hospital staff.
Looks like five more minutes and you would have been late.
The man spoke in Spanish but then Arthur stood up.
"You are alive! It worked! Amit saved you!" he said, and although you were looking at him your focus was on the man behind him. You gave him a look when he dipped his hat and off he went.
"That is why you are here? Pretending to be insane so they can't put you to prison?"
"How did you find me?" he asked.
"Your-Amit, she told me to come or it would have been too late."
"And you did." he hugged you close to his chest.
The warmth was the same, no matter if you were angry with him, no matter if he did all this just to save you, he was still the man you fell in love with.
Your Arthur.
"I'll get out of here, and then we can be together like we planned." you looked at him then at a member of staff on the floor.
"We could run, like, right now. He killed them all, mostly." you said and on second thought, you didn't hesitate.
You grabbed his hand and ran.
Maybe wasn't the smartest idea to run with someone who has hospital clothes on, but no one caught you.
"We have to move." you said after you arrived home. "We have to-" he interrupted you with a quick kiss.
"I missed you, Darling."
"I missed you too."
---
Arthur explained everything to you, the whole story, Marc Spector, Khonshu, Amit and the fight.
Perhaps living in Cairo was predictable after all that happened.
Yet, something about the pyramids just looked so inviting to you, you needed to be close, just like Amit.
Getting an apartment right across them, to have the full view at all times, you woke up to not only your husband's arms around you but to the view of absolute beauty.
You assumed your healer had to do something with the fact that you were so fascinated with Ancient Egypt.
But you didn't care.
You were with your love in a place you absolutely adored. Where no one can find him.
After all, they did say in sickness and in health, and to you, that just got a whole new meaning.
