Rosamund eyed Astrid, lifting her eyes from her phone. Raising one eyebrow at the woman she was sitting across from. "Really?"
The other woman was curled up, bundled up in two heavy blankets, her nose red and irritated. Her eyes were a little swollen, yet they crinkled with terrible delight when Astrid nodded. "I'm sick. You said anything I want."
"I think Silco said that, not me." But Ros is standing, and moving forward. "He really is such a worry wart."
"Says the woman sitting at my bedside."
The redhead paused in her step, but for a long enough moment for Astrid's smile to fall a little. It perks right back into place when Ros pressed her lips to her forehead, the redhead humming as she pulled away. "Still warm."
When she takes a step back, a weak hand quickly grabs her wrist, tugging her back. Astrid is pouting, the blanket tugging further around her head, and parts of her bob are sticking out the sides of it. "My meme said two kisses."
The redhead eyes the brunette for a moment longer before leaning down and giving her a peck on the lips. "Anything else, lambchop?"
"First, that's gross. Never call me that again-"
Ros interrupts with another kiss, a quick peck against the not really angry ball of sickness's mouth. "I'm calling you it always now, lambchop."
"Ewww. Also, can I get a snack?" Astrid wiggles in her blanket confinement like it's a straight jacket instead of the warm fortress she's built around herself. "Do we still have honey buns?"
Another kiss, with a second following from Astrid herself. It has Rosamund humming, moving to tuck Astrid's hair back under the blanket prison, smiling when the sick woman leans into her touch. "Yes. I'll get you some."
And Ros, she really can't be blamed when she also gets sick. Not with the puppy dog eyes, her partner was giving her when she brought back the food. Commenting on how lonely it was in bed, and how she needed a sick movie buddy.
Those big amber eyes. It was too much. Unfair, actually. But she supposed Astrid did the same
Far better than the look Silco would give her when she'd start sniffling.
But the look on his face when she sends him the same meme when she's curled up and ill was probably the best one yet.
