LIZZIE'S POV
"M-mom? M-mom are you h-here? Wh-why you left me alone?"
Y/n fever is so high that she delirium starting to see things that are not there, or rather, people who are not there.
Something inside of me breaks when i hear those words.
Where is her mom?
Did she really leaves
y/n? What happened to her parents?
Why doesn't there seem to be anyone here to take care of her?
I mean they should be here to take care of their daughter and instead i look like the only adult ready to rush to help and take care of her.
Maybe they both stayed in NYC, but something bothers my thoughts.
I look at Cassie who is leaning against the door jamb for answers.
"Cassie what happened to her mom?" i ask worried
She lowers her head, closes her eyes and takes a long breath and then looks at me again.
"It's not up to me to tell her story, it wouldn't be fair. But i think we should let her imagine that she really is here" i nod and then go back to looking at y/n.
"Hey babygirl it's me" i say trying to stay in the role.
My heart melts when i notice that my coat is under the blanket and she is hugging it tightly.
"M-mom i missed y-you, why d-did you leave me?"
"Hey baby i missed you too, i'm so sorry it wasn't my intention, but now i'm here, you're gonna let me take care of you right?" it really hurts me to see her like that, a person like her should only be loved.
"Y-yeah"
"Good girl" i say with a weak smile
I look back at Cassie again
"We should take her to the hospital, the fever is too high"
"Not the hospital please" she says with a little bit of fear in her voice
"Cassie the situation is serious"
"I-i know but she doesn't want- she doesn't want to go to the hospital, please try to do something, anything" she desperately begs me
Why doesn't she want to go to the hospital?
What is she hiding from me?
"Fine but if the situation doesn't get better, i'll take her to the hospital, i don't care if you or her don't want to" i say with a serious voice
"Okay, i'm sure you can find a solution, i trust you and y/n too. Can i do something to help you?"
"Yes actually, i need a wet cloth, painkillers and something to help her calm down and sleep, in the meantime i try to undress her to bring down the fever"
"Okay i take everything and be back immediately" she says and then disappears somewhere in the apartment.
"Hey babygirl now we have to take off some clothes and the blanket, so your fever will go down" i say look at Y/n, she looks like a kid right now
"B-but i'm cold" she says trembling
"I know baby but this is the only way, trust me"
She looks at me with shining eyes and then nods, slowly i take off the blanket on her, i also take off her hoodie remaining only in bra. I look at her body carefully, if it weren't for the situation i would be looking at her for hours - fuck what are you saying Lizzie, she's your student and she's a girl.
What the fuck is wrong with me?
I'm probably starting to get delirious too.
"P-please m-mom i'm cold" she says trembling even more and crying.
It's breaking my heart to see her like this.
"I know, try to be patience please, for mommy okay?"
"O-okay mom" god she makes me so tender
"Here i am, i brought everything" Cassie says as she walks back to the room
"Thank you, why don't you go to your room and try to get some sleep? You definitely need it"
"Oh no it's okay, i stay here" she says and immediately after yawns
"It's okay, i'm stay here with her, if the situation doesn't get better i'll come to tell you. Come on go and rest for a while" i say smiling at her
"Fine, but promise me Miss Olsen, if something happens, you'll come and call me"
"Promise Cassie" after that, she nods and goes to her room
I turn my attention back to y/n, take the wet cloth and gently place it on her forehead.
"Hey baby now you have to raise your head a little bit so you can take these medicines that will help you" she does as i said, i help her take the medicines, then i adjust better her pillows and put her head down again.
"You doing great baby, now try to sleep a little bit okay? I'll be here if you need me" i say with a smile
"C-can you hug me until i fall asleep?" she asks with puppy eyes.
God she's so sweet
"Of course i can baby" and after that, i settle better in her bed so i can hug her.
She puts her head on my chest and hugs me tightly to warm up.
"Better?" i asks to her
"Mmmm yes" she says, relaxing in contact with the heat of my body
"Good" i leave a kiss on her head and hold her tight to me.
Her bared torso, covered only by her bra, collides with my body and suddenly i feel a strange feeling that i think i have never felt.
Shortly after she falls asleep, i stay awake to check her fever which slowly goes down.
I don't know what's happening to me, it's the most absurd scenario i could live, i never thought i'd find myself in a situation especially knowing me and knowing how reserved and determined i'm about delimiting my spaces.
But i can't stay away from her and it's crazy i know.
I mean am i really here in her bed hugging her?
Did i really get up in the middle of the night just to come to her?
I wouldn't have done it for anyone else but to her it seems like everything is worth it, she is worth it.
I feel so good with her that immediately after i fall asleep too, hugging each other.
——————————
Slowly i wake up, i feel arms surround me, when i turn around, i see next to me a little y/n that hugs me like a koala.
I look at her and smile, i must admit that she's really cute.
I gently place a hand on her forehead and feel the fever has dropped since last night.
Slowly i move in the bed to get up without waking her.
I cover her with her blanket and put my coat back next to her and immediately she hugs it.
I still admire her a little bit while she sleeps, then i go to her desk, take a post-it and write something and then stick it to the pillow next to her.
After that, i leave her room and let her sleep.
I go into the living room to get my things when i notice Cassie looking out the window.
"Hey Cassie, why are you already awake?" i ask to her and she turns to look at me.
"Oh Miss Olsen, goodmorning. Well i couldn't sleep, i had some thoughts in my mind"
"You wanna talk about?" i ask gently
"No don't worry...how is Y/n?" her eyes seem so dead and she is obviously tired.
"She's better but she needs to rest these days and take the painkillers, listen Cassie now i have to go home to change my clothes and then i have to go to school, but as soon as i'm done working i come back here, can you take care of her?"
"Oh yeah of course, don't worry, you have already done enough, thank you for taking care of my best friend, i am so grateful to you Miss Olsen" she shows a weak smile
"Oh you don't have to, i care about you guys and expecially i really care about her, i don't know what this life has done to her but i don't need to know to take care of her, i would protect her anyway, i feel that it's something that comes to me from the heart" i say smiling
"I think y/n has found her guardian angel and for me this is enough to tell you that i'm happy that you've become a part of our life"
"Thanks Cassie, i have to go now, see you later okay?"
"Yes, see you later Miss Olsen" after that, i head to the door and go out to get back to my car.

Y/N'S POV
Slowly i open my eyes allowing the sun's rays to blind me for a few seconds, and then get used to the light. My head looks like it's about to explode.
I look around confused and disoriented, i don't remember anything about this night only that i was trembling and sweating, i probably had a fever.
When i turn to the other side i see Lizzie's coat, i take it and hold it close to me feeling her perfume.
I close my eyes and for a moment it seems to have her here next to me.
When i open my eyes i notice a post-it note on the pillow, i take it and read what it says:
Hey honey,
i hope you feel better
and that it was a sweet awakening
I had to go, work calls me,
but don't worry i'll be back to you soon,
in the meantime Cassie
will take care of you
your, L. :)
Wait this mean Lizzie was there?
I look closely at my body and notice that i'm only in my bra.
What the fuck happened last night?
I get out of bed quickly, my head is spinning for a moment, i go to the living room but i can't find anyone, then i see Cassie appear from the kitchen.
"Hey are you awake" she says smiling and running to hug me
"How do you feel?" she asks
"Like a shit honestly, Cassie, was Lizzie here tonight? And why i'm only in bra?" i ask confused to my best friend
"Wait you remember it?" she asks to me confused
"No but i saw a post-it note on the pillow and i think she wrote it" i say and she smirks
"What? Why are you smiling?"
"Well yeah she's been here all night actually, she left this morning. If it weren't for her i wouldn't know what would i do y/n, you were sick and the situation seemed serious. She took care of you. She took off your hoodie to bring down the fever and she slept with you. You know you asked for her"
"Did i?" shit why i don't remember anything.
And i slept with her wearing only the bra?
Oh my god
"Yes and she didn't hesitate a second to run to you"
"Oh..." she really cares about me then
"She wanted to take you to the hospital but i insisted"
"Cas you know about the hospital" i say a little bit annoying
"I know don't worry but-"
"No but" i cut off the conversation
"Fine...anyway whatever is arising between you two y/n, please hold it close, she's good for you" she shows a soft smile.
I think of her words, actually Lizzie is really good for me.
She was even before i met her.
Every time i looked at a picture or a video of her a feeling of warmth pervaded my body, but now that she's here i feel this sensation growing every day, even if we have known each other for a few days.
I know, she's famous and most of all she's my teacher, but i don't want to stay away from her and i have no intention of doing it, i'll try to be careful and not to ruin this friendship? Yeah I think I can call this a friendship after all.
"You should rest, you are still weak. I have to go shoot some things but i'll be back tonight, do you think you can do it? I can go another day it's not a problem-"
"Don't worry boo, i'm better now, in case i need something i'll call you" i say to her
"Fine, love you" she leaves me a kiss on the cheek and then leaves.
—————————
I'm on the bed watching TV, doing one of my usual Wandavision rewatches, you can imagine why. Whenever i feel bad or sad, i put on one of the episodes and i feel better, all thanks to her.
while i'm focused on watching tv i get a message, i take my phone and instinctively smile when i see who wrote to me.
