I laid in bed, unable to move. My head was aching but my throat was aching even more. Ashtray was already up, surprisingly. He was up and ready to go and deal with Fez down at the gas station and later on, they were gonna sell at a party. But i was too unwell to help today, Ash just thought i was being lazy.

"Y/n! Ma, come on, we have to go!" He called out to me, but i had no energy to reply, plus my throat was absolutely killing me. He walked into the room and his impatient look disappeared when he saw me snuggled into the pillows, blankets all over the place. "You're actually sick? I thought you were being dramatic" he spoke in a monotone voice.

"It hurts..." was all I managed to say but it came out croaky, like a frog...making me sound funny. "Oh baby...i wish i could stay here to look after you but Fez needs my help today" he spoke, sitting on the bed and stroking my warm cheek. He then felt my forehead. "You definitely have a temperature" he said with a frown. Ashtray leaned down and kissed my forehead before walking off.

A few minutes later, he came back with a warm, wet flannel and laid it across my forehead. He left again only to return with some ice water and soup, he knew i often had that when i was unwell. "Some stuff for you and tablets over on the bedside table incase you need 'em, okay ma?" My boyfriend spoke with a gentle tone. I frowned as he stood up, i was gonna be left alone, in Fez and Ashtrays apartment...sick.

"Ashtray, please stay!" I sniffled, am i getting the cold now too?! "Y/n i-" "Im sure Fez will understand, please just stay until i fall asleep at least..." I whispered, not wanting to raise my voice in the slightest, thinking it might trigger the pain in my throat. Ash sighed and nodded. "Okay, i'll stay for awhile" he replied, giving in with a slight smile.

He took off his shoes and got into some comfortable clothes before messaging Fez and leaving him a voice message to explain why he wasn't going to show up, as Fez was not answering his phone.

After all that, Ashtray laid beside me and we laid face to face. He stroked my cheek with his thumb, soothing me, making my eyes slowly shut and a smile to form at the corner of my lips. I fell asleep with a now cold flanney on my forehead and Ashtray slowly soothing me to a peaceful sleep.
