Im so sorry for not updating for a long time, life has been stressful and i've been trying to manage it all alone :, (
-----------------------------------------------
"Yeah I don't think I can come to work today..." I said over the phone fighting back the urge to cough. I was sat up against my bed, holding my stomach with my arm in excruciating pain. "Why not? You know we need you today" My boss said over the phone in an annoyed tone. I sighed and closed my eyes tightly. "I'm sick sir, I don't think I would finish my shift" when I reopened my eyes, Wilbur walked into the room with a smile. He was going to say something but closed his lips seeing I was on the phone. I rose a finger up to him as he nodded and left the room quickly to give me privacy. I heard my boss sigh very audibly as of for me to hear him. "You better be good tomorrow (y/n)" My boss said as I thanked him. He gave me a simple goodbye and cut the line first. I sighed not wanting to feel worse than I already was. I closed my phone and tossed it beside me. I leaned my head back towards the headboard, feeling the uncomfortableness on my flat head but ignored it. "What did he say?" I heard Wilbur ask as he walked back in with a towel. "He got mad but I don't care anymore. My body hurts too much" I whined as Wilbur made his way towards my side of the bed and pulled up a stool. He gestured for me to lay down properly as I did as I was told.
He gently pulled my hair away from my forehead and ears. He placed the damp towel against my forehead. I smiled feeling the cold sensation cool my warm body temperature. "Do you want to eat some soup? Or is it too early for lunch?" Wilbur asked as he looked down at his watch to check the time. "It is currently ten in the morning, would you like some coffee instead?" Wilbur asked as I simply shook my head yes. "Can you get me some sweet bread as well?" I asked as Wilbur nodded and left the room.
I closed my eyes trying to distract myself from the pain I was feeling all over. My stomach felt like it was being repeatedly punched by some small child. My head felt like a boiling pot wanting to boil all over a stove top. A small sigh escaped my chapped lips. Feeling sick was the worst feeling at all. The pain was one thing, but not being able to do anything was a second. I didn't enjoy being taken care of at all. Of course I like it when Wilbur does things for me, or does things without me telling him. But, having him to change my forehead towel, cook me food, having to help me bathe is hell.
I heard the creak of the door of the room open as I sat up against the headboard again. I smiled seeing Wilbur walk in with a hot mug that he bought for me for our one year anniversary and a plate with three pieces of sweet bread. "You know, I got myself one too to see what the hype is all about this Mexican sweet bread" Wilbur said as he pulled a side table and placed the food down. He stood back up to help me readjust a lot closer to him. "I promise you...You will like it" I said struggling to finish my sentence. I cleared my throat as Wilbur eyed me carefully as I shook my hand at him.
"You should try it first, I wanna see your reaction" I said with a smile. Wilbur turned his attention back to the bread and nodded. "So do I just dip the bread inside the coffee correct?" Wilbur said as I nodded. "For how long?" He asked again as I snickered. "For like a few seconds but not too long or your bread will break and fall in. It's happened to me multiple times" I said as Wilbur carefully took his piece of bread and dipped it inside the coffee in an angle and brought it out. "Now what do I do?" Wilbur asked as I ushered for him to eat his piece. Wilbur shoved the soaked part into his mouth and immediately started fanning his mouth. "Its...So hot!" He cried out as I mentally face palmed. "Of course it is! The coffee is piping hot" I laughed at how he finally finished his bite and held his hand over his heart. "I almost burned off my tongue and you're over here laughing?! How could you" Wilbur complained playfully as I snorted, covering my mouth as I laughed.

After breakfast, Wilbur suggested we took a walk even if it was around our neighborhood. The weather outside wasn't cold neither hot so it was a mixture. "Make sure to hold onto me incase you fall or faint" Wilbur said as he got his thin frames onto his nose. "Can we listen to something on our walk?" I asked softly as Wilbur helped me get changed as I sat on the edge of the bed. He got me into a loose long sleeve shirt that was originally his but I've worn it so much that it is practically mine now. He helped me into some loose shorts and helped me place in my feet into some crocs. "mhm! And if you're up for it, we can water the plants together" Wilbur said flashing me a smile up at me as he put my crocs into sports mode. I smiled back down at him as he finally stood and brought his elbow out for me to cling into.
The sun immediately hit my eyes as I tried to lift up an arm to cover my eyes but my arm felt too heavy. "Here" Wilbur said as he removed his baseball cap and placed it on my head with a smile. "But what about you?" I said as he locked the front door and placed the keys into his pocket. "I'll be fine (y/n)" he said as he leaned down to give my cheek a soft peck as he pulled me into our walk. Our neighborhood wasn't the type to be really active or busy with cars always being on driveways. However, it did have its fair share of children playing outside and fruit trees being on the edges of fences. I felt Wilbur place something in my ear as I turned to look at him. "What should we listen to? A podcast or some music?" He asked as he scrolled on his phone trying to find something interesting. "Click on the latest hits for indie pop" I said as he nodded and shuffled the playlist. As soon as he pressed play, the familiar sound of a guitar brought a smile on my face.
"Oh my god..." Wilbur groaned as he went on his phone to skip the song that was currently playing. "No! Don't skip it, I love this one" I said as he continued to groan. "But its embarrassing listening to myself sing like this" Wilbur stated as I sang along to the tone in a soft hum. "But I love the way you sing. Your voice just soothes me very well" I said blushing a bit at my confession. Wilbur stayed quiet as we passed a few children playing hopscotch on their parents driveway. We gave them a short wave and continued on our walk. "is that true (y/n)?" Wilbur asked as I gave his arm a soft squeeze. "mhm, your singing calms me down whenever I have shit days at work. I know its kind of awkward for me to say that haha" I said chuckling after my sentence. Wilbur only hummed and brought me closer to him as I admired wildlife animals climbing on trees and walking amongst the road.

"Man, that actually helped my stomach pain a lot more than I thought it would" I said as I slowly made my way towards the room, holding nearby furniture and walls for stability. "Would you like me to do dinner?" Wilbur asked as he put away his coat and baseball cap. "hmm can we nap and eat dinner later? I really wanna lay down" I said as Wilbur nodded and rushed to my side. I slipped off my crocs and went to go to my drawers to retrieve clean clothes to wear. Yet, Wilbur told me to sit on the bed while he fetched my clothes. He grabbed me one of his T-shirts and some pajama pants. "I can change myself" I said as he nodded and gave my head a soft kiss. He went towards his side of clothes to change as well to nap along. When I was done, I tried getting up to get on my side of the bed but Wilbur walked right behind me to help. "I can get on the bed just fine Wilbur" I said trying to push him away. "But I want to help though" he said as he held onto my hips and lifted me up to the bed. He pulled the covers that were stuck underneath my legs and covered me up to my chin.
"You're too kind to me Wilbur" I whispered as he stifled a chuckle and kissed my forehead a lot longer than usual. "I am in love with you (y/n). Anything you ask me to do, I will do it for you in a heartbeat. You don't know how far I will go to prove my love for you" Wilbur said coming down to kiss my lips this time. He tried pulling away but I weakly brought my left arm and pulled him back down wanting to feel him close to me. Our lips moved slowly but deep. My hand ran through his shaggy brown hair that was growing a bit long. I could feel his thin glasses pressing against my nose but I didn't mind it, I found it rather attractive. Wilbur adjusted his upper body to be right over me, his hand gripping the bedsheets beside me while the other caressed my cheek. His thumb ran over my cheek, feeling his rough skin making me pull him deeper to me. I felt warm all over, my face, my neck and my stomach. We finally pulled away for some air and stared at each other with shy smiles.
"God, I really love you" Wilbur said as he quickly removed his glasses and placed them on the bedside table loosely and leant down to kiss me once more. I pulled him from his shirt and he rolled over next to me, our lips not disconnecting for a bit. I tried getting above him but a sharp pain in my abdomen made me shoot my eyes wide open. I pulled away immediately and covered my mouth. "(y/n)? You okay-?" Wilbur asked his face all love dazed trying to make sense of what was happening. I threw the covers off of my body and rushed to the bathroom. I lifted the toilet seat and released all the contents I had in me. Tears pricked at the edges of my eyes as I heaved harshly. "its okay, you're okay. Let it out, it'll make you feel better" Wilbur said soothingly as he rubbed circles around my back and helped my hair off my face and mouth. I wiped my mouth with a piece of tissue and groaned in pain as I turned to Wilbur. "The nerves got to me I think" I said as Wilbur blushed and sighed. "Here, let me help you" he said as he wiped my mouth for me and flushed the toilet. He gave me a few mints instead of brushing my teeth so I could get to bed as soon as possible.
I was laid back down and a cold towel was placed on my very warm forehead. "Thank you Wilbur, I didn't say that much today" I told Wilbur as he held onto my hand in his. "Don't worry about that. Get some rest, okay?" Wilbur said as he kissed my hand and then my head. "I'll be right beside you if you need anything" With that, my eyes were shut closed from exhaustion as soft humming beside me lulled me into slumber.
