Baekhyun (1/1)

“He would be really concerned so he would stay with you the whole time, he'd even sleep on your couch just so he could be close to you in case you needed something.”  A sweaty Byun Baekhyun arrives at your house and puts his duffel bag and a few things on the floor and seats to the nearest chair beside your bed. He places one hand on your forehead to check your body heat.You croak a little I’m fine but he ignores your protest.“I just got from a very important matter and I couldn’t concentrate on anything because you’re sick. And now you’re telling me you’re fine which I think is not true since your body temperature is high.” He stated. “I can’t just sit back and relax while I watch you groan in pain.”“Since when did you become a thermometer, Byun Baekhyun?” You whimper.He chuckles and rolls his eyes. “I can tell, I did not say I’m a thermometer.”“You shouldn’t have bothered coming here. There are more important things than--” You say and he places a finger between your lips to silence you.“You’re not supposed to tell me that. You are my girlfriend and you’re more important than anything.” He says and reaches out for some plastic bag beside him. “Have you eaten?”You stick your tongue out. “Too weak to eat.”His eyes widen. “Even a bit?”You shake your head. “Don’t overreact, oppa.”“Aw, c’mon. Eat something.” He tells you and hands you a small pack of biscuits. “And I’m not overreacting. I’m just concerned about you because you matter to me.”“Baekhyun, you’re too tired to make something. Just go home and sleep.” You tell him. “And I can’t swallow that thing.” You continue as you push the plastic away.“No, I’ll sleep on the couch and I’ll only go home when you’re okay. I’m staying here.” He singsongs. “I’m staying.”“Baekhyun—““Hey, aren’t you actually happy? You don’t want me here?” He asks, looking hurt.“Of course, I want you here.” You reply immediately.The fact that Baekhyun staying for the night makes you feel giddy and happy although you’re sick. “You’re my boyfriend anyway.” You continue.He blushes then stands up from his seat. “Is there something you’d like to eat? Perhaps porridge of what kind?” He asks and shots up from his seat.You roll your eyes. Baekhyun doesn’t even know how to hold a spatula right. You pull his arm and force him to seat again.“Porridge? Do you even know how to make one?” You mutter. “Just sleep. I can stay on the couch—““What stay on the couch? You’re not leaving your bed. You’re sick so stay there.” He points to the bed you’re lying on. “Have you eaten already?” You ask him.He stood up again and gave you a wide grin. “No.” He answers.“Go get something before you sleep.” You tell him.“Who told you I’m sleeping? I’m not sleeping and I’m not going to leave your sight.” He replies, as a matter of fact and slouches back on the couch.“Baekhyun, you can’t skip meals because of me. Don’t be stubborn.” You tell him.You know Baekhyun can’t even live a single minute without food.“Hey, you’re skipping meals too. We’re even.” He states and you hear a tummy growl in protest. It was probably his tummy.“Baekhyun, you’re making me feel worse.” You say and you aren’t lying when you tell him.He innocently looks into your eyes. “I do?”“Yes. Now, stop repeating my words and go get something. I’ll be just fine. It’s not like I’d do some acrobatics here.” You tell him and gesture the way towards the kitchen.“Alright, but I’ll be back okay? Don’t do anything until I come back.” He laughs. “Don’t do anything. Don’t try doing anything while I’m away.”“Yeah, whatever.” You tell him before he disappears behind the kitchen.  It was after ten seconds flat when he comes back with nothing on his hand.“Have you eaten?” You ask him.He innocently answers a small yes before he sits back on the couch.“Oppa stop lying to me.” You tell him and look at him straight in the eye. “You were there for only ten seconds. How could you eat that fast?”He blushes and winks at you. “You know me too well. Hey, I can’t eat without you.” He answers.“Do you want me to feed you then?” You ask him, preparing to sit up.“No. You know, it’s uneasy.” He answers and pushes you back down. You roll your eyes again and he jokes and tells you to stop because it’s creeping him out. You mutter a go eat, oppa but instead of listening to you, he settles beside your bed. He lifts a hand and touches your forehead. Without saying anything, he continues to compare both your temperatures as he touches his forehead using his free hand.“Is that going to make a difference, Baekhyun?” You ask him.“Naw not really, I’m just trying to figure it out.” He tells you.“Figure out what?”“The temperature. Duh.” He answers and rolls his eyes. “Do you need something?”You think twice but shake your head and you immediately feel dizzy. “No, I’ll be fine.”“Are you sure?” He asks again. “You really don’t want my porridge?”“Yes. I’ll tell you when I need something.” You reply. “I might die from food poison if I eat something you made.”“Okay. Okay. Whatever.” He answers. “Anyway, you have to get well soon. You know I can’t concentrate when you’re not okay.” He says and fixes your blanket again.“I’m going to be okay. I’m strong.” You reply and laugh. He pinches your cheek just like before, every time you say something he can’t really argue about. You feel like blushing even though you’re pale at the moment. He smiles at you and you couldn’t help but smile back because everything about him is contagious and you just couldn’t resist him. He was Byun Baekhyun after all. He leans over you and whispers,“Sleep. I’ll watch over you.” He manages to kiss your forehead despite the hotness of it.After he tells you those five words, you instantly feel your eyelids close slowly.  You open your eyes to the sight of Byun Baekhyun sleeping on the couch, his small face on the pillow, his bangs sliding off his forehead, his cheeks like the usual, his mouth hanging open, his arms cuddling a small stuffed toy and his short legs trying to fit in the small couch. You still felt wobbly and all, but the sight of him sleeping couldn’t hold you from getting up and sitting beside him. This is what he meant by he’ll watch over you.Maybe more like I’ll sleep beside you and we’ll wake up together. You couldn’t blame him. He was tired from work and he had to rest too.You fix his bangs before pinching the stuffed toy he was cradling. You smile at the sight before putting another blanket on top of him.  You kiss his forehead as you tell him, “Sleep well, oppa.” A/N: ohhh~ Baekhyun here :) so how was it? eh? eh? ;)
