Tez was sleeping fitfully. Her back was pressed against him and she felt hot, which was unusual due to her naturally cool touch. Her hands moved about in sleep, her fingers twitching as she murmured in distaste.
Her eyes flew open, but she didn't move. She was taking short, quick breaths and her eyes darted nervously.
He would immediately notice the heat of her skin, and she turned her head into the pillow witha groan.
She mumbled something incoherent before turning her head too look at him. Her brows furrowed, and she seemed more pale than usual. "..My head hurts," she mumbled, covering her eyes.
"Oh, baby girl," he murmured, running his fingers through her hair. "I gotta check behind your ear, okay?"
He checked slowly and she would feel his hands trembling before he sighed with relief. "It's okay. It's not the plague. You're okay." He kissed her neck quickly before standing up. "I'll get you some stuff for your head, okay?"
He looked down at her, smoothing her hair back slowly. "Tez, I'm just grabbing medicine. I'll be right back, okay? I'm gonna take care of you."
