Chesty coughs and cuddles
“You’ve kept that cough through two colds and it sounds like you’re on your third.” Wanda frowned as you hunched over on the couch coughs wracking your form.
“Forth” you croaked when you had finally stopped.
“What?” Wanda asked unsure she had heard you correctly
“Forth cold.” You clarified
“right were going to Bruce” wanda said pulling you into a sitting position.
“Nooo i was comfy.” You whined.
“Babe this isn’t normal. You need to see a doctor.” Wanda reasoned pulling you to your feet. When you were upright your vision swam and you stumbled forward, luckily wanda wrapped her arms around you to stop you from falling flat on your face.
“Woah there tiger, nice and easy.” She said. “Wrap your legs around my waist love and I’ll carry you.” So you did. Like a toddler your head rested by her neck and your arms around her neck with your flying flush to her torso. She held you up under your thighs, but you were too tired to care.
“Baby girl, you feel a bit warm sweets. Have you taken your temperature lately?” She cooed. You buried your face in her neck and mumbled softly
“‘M not a baby.” You whined
“Ok love.” She chuckled realising you were a bit too far gone to response in your hazy fevered state. “I’ll get Bruce to check when we see him.” She cooed. And you whined at the mention of going to the sick bay.
“Baby trust me it’ll make you feel better.” She soothed.
“Don’t wanna.” You whined hearing Jarvis announce you were here.
Wanda carefully set you down on the bed, having to sit down herself as you clung to her and refused to let go.
“What can i do for you two girls today?” Bruce asked wiping his hands on his lab coat.
“Y/n/n’s had a cough for about three colds-“
“Four”
“Four colds and i think she has a fever, i was just hoping you could check her out to make sure its nothing serious.” Wanda said patting your back as you began to squirm.
“Ok. Y/n/n can you look at me for a sec.” Bruce asked, running the tip of the thermometer over your forehead.
“Hmm 100.7 not dangerous but still a fever id like to keep an eye on.” Bruce said more to himself than anyone else.
“Has she had any meds?” He asked grabbing a stethoscope.
“Not yet i don’t think.”
“Give her a Tylenol and see how her fever reacts” he said slipping the metal tip under your shirt and unto your back. You squirmed at the cool metal and wanda held you tighter shushing you softly.
“Hmm her breathing sounds a bit crackly. I think she has a chest infection, ill need to do more tests.” He said. “Jarvis scan Y/n’s chest and send the report to my lab computer.” He said walking over to his desk.
“Scan complete.” Jarvis said.
“It seems i was right, Ms L/n has a nasty chest infection.” He said as you began coughing again.
“I’ll give her some antibiotics and when she finishes the course bring her back for another check up to see if its cleared.” He said pressing a box of green and white pills into Wanda’s palm.
“For now she needs rest and to keep an eye on her temp. Let me or Jarvis know if it gets above 103 and I’ll give her an ice bath if needed. If you like i can have Jarvis send live updates of her stats to my computer if that makes you feel better.”
“That would be great thanks Bruce.” Wanda said. “Well i better get this one to bed.” Wanda said as you nuzzled into her neck again.
“Thanks again Bruce.” Wanda said and you slurred something incomprehensible.
“Its alright girls don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything at all.”
You must have fallen asleep sometime on the way back because the next thing you knew you were asleep in your bed with your girlfriend.
Life was good, even if it was hard to breathe.
