your eyes fluttered open to see remus looming over you his head cocked to the side, eyebrows furrowed in concern. "are you alive?" he asked quietly, gently prodding you. you groaned, "go away, rem," turning to bury the side of your face into the cool pillow, weakly slapping his hand away.

you felt the bed dip as he sat down, pulling the warm burgundy covers over you and placing a tender hand on your forehead. you had been sick since yesterday afternoon, remus had noticed when you, a usually attentive student, had fallen asleep in the middle of charms class with a burning hot fever.

"how are you feeling, love?" he asked. "terrible," you croaked, wincing at your scratchy voice remus turned to his nightstand to pass you water. the coolness of it soothed your achy throat instantly "thanks, remmy," you whispered, handing him the glass. you watched him as he placed the glass, slippery with condensation back down on to the nightstand, smiling dopily over at him as he dimmed his lamp.

he climbed under the covers muttering a "c'mere, love," pulling you towards him and wrapping his arms around you softly. you whined in discomfort at the sudden change of position, limbs aching. nevertheless, you buried your face into his neck, inhaling his familiar earthy scent. the feeling of his arms wrapped around you, the soothing stroking of your hair, and the feeling of his soft knitted sweater in your hand lulling you into a state of deep relaxation.

observing your still figure and listening to your unsteady breathing, remus could tell how wiped out you were. "sleep, sweetheart," he said softly into your hair, pulling you closer to him. you hummed sleepily into the crook of his neck, your eyes heavy. you felt him press a kiss into forehead as you let your exhaustion take over, pulling you into a restful sleep in his comforting embrace.
