"How're you doing, bed bug?" Dean grinned, peeking his head around the corner of the doorway. He'd been hearing you sniffling from your shared bed all goddamn morning, and it was torture. Not only because he didn't like the thought of you in discomfort and more than your usual 'extremely concerned boyfriend,' but also because he was being made supremely aware of the fact you were in his presence while also making sure he knows he's forbidden from touching you.
"Bad." A cough. "Why?" Another cough. God, you felt like you were gonna vomit; every cough rattled around your lungs like you were about to hack one up. The noise clattered like a coin shaking back and forth in your windpipe.
"Oh, suddenly a guy can't care about his girl when she's sick?" Dean mumbled, taking a step into the bedroom, shutting the door before walking the rest of the way to your bed.
"Dean, Dean, don't, I'm sick," you whined, voice cracking, pulling the blanket over your sick mouth to stifle another couple of coughs and protect your sweet-but-so-stupid boyfriend.
"Mm, don't care," he mumbled, crawling in bed and mouthing at your cheek. "I can't handle this anymore." Kiss. "I've been hearing you all day, and," kiss, "it's making me sick." Kiss. "Sick that I can't touch you." Kiss. "Sick of not being in bed with you." Kiss. "Sick of not taking care of you."
"Stop it—stop! Dean, you're gonna get yourself sick," you practically whimpered, trying in vain to shove him off of you.
"Good," he grinned from on top of you. "Then you can take care of me and I can have you all to myself."
You groaned, rolling over on to your stomach, now bracing your back instead of your rosy-patchy face, stuffy nose, and chest heaving with breaths laboured by snot and whatever fluids were clogging your sinuses. "Don't hide that pretty face from me," he mumbled, pulling a lock of hair back from the pillow to lay over your ear so he could more appropriately mumble lowly in your ear.
"Dea-an," you whined trying to squirm away from his kisses.
"You hate me," he huffed, pulling you over and kissing you on the mouth. Even a forced cough from you didn't stop him, and you could feel the diseased little pieces of spittle slipping past your lips and into his open mouth.
"Ew—Dean, that's disgusting!!" you scream, shoving him off you and eliciting a laugh from him.
"Now you have no reason to roll away in the honourable name of protecting me from your sickness," he grinned, pressing one more peck onto your evading lips. "If I didn't get sick there, I won't get sick. Period." You just huff, raw and red lip jutting out in a whiny pout. "Hey—hey," Dean mumbled, face falling serious. "Tell me you want me to stop kissing you."
Silence. Interrupted by a cough, but... in terms of discomfort? Utter silence.
"Yay," he chuckled, kissing your forehead softly before sitting back on his heels, still straddling your thighs. "Oh, and, hey—I made you tea, soup, there's a half a baguette I saved you in the kitchen. Let me know if you feel hungry for it, 'kay?"
"Mm hm—" you began before you were cut off.
"And I'll run you a bath, how does that sound? You can get all warm and cozy, and maybe I'll even join you if you want. But either way, at the end I'll be ready with a towel to bundle you up and keep you warm, okay?"
"De—" again, interrupted.
"Or maybe a shower together? I just wanna make sure you're all warm and clean and getting better, pretty girl."
"Dean." You barely coughed that out, but it caught his attention. "Do you have an infection fetish?"
"What?? No. That's bizarre."
"You're way handsier than normal—which... which, for the record, is a very hard threshold to break—you won't stop kissing me, you're running around the house like a rat on Ritalin taking care of me. You have a sickness fetish."
"That's stupid, baby, why would I wanna see you in pain? Uncomfortable at all? I love you."
"Exactly," you grinned, sneezing. He was quick to reach over to the bedside table, grabbing a tissue and dabbing it around the wet corners of your mouth, only proving your point. "You want me to get better, but even more, you wanna be the one who makes me better. You have a kink for being my little... nurse. When I'm sick, I'm dependent on you, and you"—cough—"love it, you freak."
He was shocked. Shocked, flabbergasted, utterly in awe of how quickly you picked up on that. "Jeez, and here I thought I was subtle."
"You don't know the meaning of subtle, Winchester. You couldn't even spell it."
"S, U—" he trails off. "You know what, you're a little, sassy minx when you're sick, aren't you?"
"No filter. No inhibitions."
"Sounds perfect," he grins to lower himself down between your upper thighs.
"No!" you squeal, grabbing his head and yanking him back up. "Kissing, fine. You can't..."
"Eat you out?" he teased.
"...yeah," you mumble, growing red, half bashful and half sick.
"Fine," he groaned, getting off of you and leaving your aching body to shiver without his warmth and weight holding you down. He quickly scurried off to the kitchen, grabbing your tea. "Three creamers, three sugars. Your usual order," he smiled, stirring softly, "and yet not half as sweet as you."
"Aww," you mumbled, reaching out for the drink, but he just tsked and sat on the side of your bed.
"Ah-ah-ah," he said with a boyish smile tugging at his round cheeks, "I wanna make sure it's not too hot." He took a sip, thinking it over for a moment, before grinning like he'd just had an epiphany. Before you'd gotten a chance to see him swallow, he leaned forward and kissed, prying your lips open so the tea would stream into your bilious mouth.
You swallowed, simply over the idea of fighting Dean on his gross fantasies anymore. "You're a freak," you mumbled, wiping your mouth and reaching for the remainder of the tea left in the mug.
"Maybe," he sighed, handing it over and crawling to lay back in bed with you. "I just want you to feel better," he huffed as though he was the victim of a vicious character attack, large hand stroking up and down your tummy.
"I feel fine."
"You look achy," he murmured. "Where're you sore? Where does it hurt, pretty girl?"
"My... nose, and tummy, and around my thighs."
God, you were driving him mad.
"Great," he huffed, wrapping both arms in an entrapping loop around your middle. "I'll remedy that last ache after you're healthy and it's already gone," he groaned into your neck.
"I think you would either way," you joked, reaching back to scratch his hair as he buried his face further in the crook between your soft throat and shoulder.
