Tumblr media
It started as a tickle in your throat.
You drank as much water as you could to try and get rid of it but it doesn’t work.
Barely a day after your realisation, you’re waking up with a full body ache.
Sneezes and a coughing fit follow suit and you’re breathless by the time you manage to get it under control.
Gentle, cool fingers slide themselves under your shirt, rubbing soothing circles onto your back. It doesn’t take much for you to figure out who they belong to, even when your head is pounding.
‘Sorry for waking you.’ You hoarsely say, wincing at how dry your throat is.
‘It’s okay.’ Your girlfriend whispers.
Her hands touch your forehead and Laura frowns worriedly.
‘You’re burning up baby.’
‘S’okay.’ You mumble tiredly, wanting nothing more than to go back to sleep.
Everything is a little hazy but you can feel the bed dip as the blonde leaves.
She’s back a moment later, fever reducers, lozenges and a mug of warm water in hand.
You groan as she gets you to sit up. The world swims a little and you don’t like it.
A distressed whine must have left your lips because the striker seems doubly worried now as she looks you over.
Her palm rests against your forehead again and her brows are furrowed anxiously as she pulls away.
The mug is pressed into your hands and your girlfriend helps guide it to your lips.
You sip slowly and Laura hums in approval.
She swaps the mug out for the medication after a few minutes.
‘You’ll feel better after these, I promise.’ She coaxes.
‘Thanks schatz.’ You murmur and she kisses your too hot cheek.
‘I’ll let the staff know we’re not coming for training today.’
‘No no. You should go. I’ll be okay.’ You immediately say.
The striker shakes her head, already putting the mug and remaining medication away.
‘I’m staying here to look after you.’
‘Lau…’ You try but she is adamant.
‘You know you would do the same for me.’ She states, leaving no room for argument as she strips her shirt off.
She slowly eases yours up and over your head before getting you to lie back down with her.
Your girlfriend spoons you close, smiling when she hears the sigh of relief you let out. Her body is so much cooler and is a welcome touch against your feverish one.
Carefully, she pulls the blanket back over both your bodies and you melt into the German forward.
Laura’s efforts have made you feel a lot more comfortable that it’s not long before you are falling back asleep.
******
It’s your girlfriend’s hushed voice that registers on your bleary mind when you begin to come to.
‘No her fever hasn’t broken yet so you may as well go ahead and tell the coaching team that we’re both not going to be able to come in tomorrow.’
You crack open an eye, making out the blonde’s figure in the dimly lit room.
She is sitting at the foot of the bed, her phone held to her ear.
In doing so, you note with some displeasure that your head still hurts.
Shifting your body, you find out that the rest of your body still does too.
Laura must have heard the sheets rustling because she turns around immediately and hangs up the call with a rushed, ‘I’ll call you back later Lara.’
‘Hi.’ You mumble as she fusses over you.
‘Your temperature is still running too high.’ She unhappily says after checking once more, this time with an actual thermometer.
Curiously, you ask, ‘Where did you get that?’
Your fever is not so high as to forget that you do not own a thermometer.
‘I had a few of our teammates drop off some stuff earlier.’ The blonde explains, blushing a little.
‘I love you.’
Your favourite person smiles, gently pressing her lips against yours.
You melt until you remember that you remember that you are sick.
Weakly, you push her away, ‘Lau! No kissing! No kissing! I don’t want you to catch my bug.’
Your girlfriend laughs, ‘My girl I hate to remind you but I’ve been cuddled up with you all day. Kissing you doesn’t make a difference because I have already been exposed to your germs.’
Your eyes widen and the striker giggles again.
‘Don’t worry, I love you and that includes your germs. Plus I have a great immune system.’ She confidently states.
The striker firmly kisses you once more to prove her point.
You kind of want to keep her away, to make sure she doesn’t get sick despite what she had said but you are really feeling too ill.
You’re exhausted too and as Laura keeps running her fingers through your hair, with you settled on your chest, your eyes begin to slip close.
‘Sleep my love.’ She whispers.
******
When you next wake up, it’s because Laura’s hand is on your forehead.
‘Hey you.’ She smiles.
You smile back, feeling significantly better. Your head is clear and your limbs hurt less.
‘Your fever’s broken.’ The blonde murmurs, affectionately stroking the space between your eyebrows with her thumb.
‘What time is it?’ You ask.
‘Late. Four in the morning last I checked.’ She answers, after thinking for a moment.
‘Schatz! What are you doing up?’
The forward shrugs, ‘Looking after you of course. I couldn’t sleep till I knew for sure that your fever’s gone down.’
You pull your girlfriend down beside you.
‘I love you so much. So so much.’ You whisper.
‘Love you too.’ Laura easily promises.
‘My fever is gone so please get some sleep.’ You insist, somewhat guiltily realising that she has the beginnings of dark circles forming around her eyes.
‘Take your medicine first. You’re due for another dose.’ The German woman argues, pointing to the pills and bottle of water set neatly on your bedside table.
You do as she asks and then tuck her into your side, kissing her chastely.
‘Goodnight schatz.’
******
Laura’s right.
Her immune system is strong and she does not catch whatever illness you have.
She does however wind up with a cold after her impromptu snowball fight with Lina.
Then it’s your turn to look after her, holding her close as she sleeps restlessly, her fever running its course.
‘Love you.’ You whisper to your silly, silly girlfriend.
She had really gone at it with the Bayern midfielder, the both of them stuffing handfuls of snow down the back of each other’s shirts.
It had been hilarious and you are sure the photos would turn out so too. You love that side of Laura, the one that draws in everyone, fans and teammates alike with her antics.
But this other side of the blonde, the one that only you see, who makes grabby hands for your cuddles with fever flushed cheeks and whines when she has to take her medicine, well you love it too.

Mario : You know why I hate Bayern? Why they're the most powerful team in all Germany? It's the Müller/Neuer relationship. I want that with Marco, but he always steals the cover.
