You loved dating an archangel of the lord despite the fact that he also claimed to be a trickster who got his kicks pulling pranks on people. Gabriel was a wonderfully romantic person though despite his odd quirks thus when he said he couldn't live with out you and if you'd like to move in with him you jumped at it. Gabriel's bed was like sleeping on a cloud so it wasn't hard for you to get a deep good night sleep so when you suddenly awoke in the middle of the night you were a little surprised. Groggily looking at the digital clock on the nightstand that read 1:45 AM you gave a small moan of irritation to having been jogged from your peaceful sleep then you began looking around to find out why you'd been awoken, turning over to see if Gabe was awake as well only to furrow your brow in confusion as he was tossing around making small moaning sounds.

"Gabe? Babe? You o...Gabe?" You had just laid a hand on his shoulder to rouse your archangel only to quickly discover that he was drenched in sweat with burning flesh.

Now awake a little more you realized Gabriel was panting heavily with his hair sticking around his face, the sheets soaked in sweat as well. Gently you started shaking Gabriel's shoulder in an attempt to wake him finally succeeding although his response was slow and his eyes had huge dark circles under them. You reached over to the light on your nightstand, flicking the switch on before turning back to Gabriel who looked up at you groggily with a deep flush all over his face.

"Hey...what's up...babe?" Gabriel asked in a deep gravely voice while attempting to sit up only to grab his head with one hand with a groan.

"Easy Gabe, what's wrong with you?" You asked gently laying a hand on his shoulder for balance.

"Don't know...I feel like I'm on fire though," Gabriel stated

"You’re certainly running a fever," You retorted placing your other hand on his forehead.

"I'm fine," Gabriel tried to put on that trademark smirk of his but failed almost instantly.

"No your not, lay down and take it easy," You insisted lightly pressing Gabriel back to the mattress before climbing out of bed yourself. You went to the bathroom to get a cool cloth as well as a glass of water that you then brought back to Gabriel, setting the glass on the nightstand on his side of the bed while settling on the edge of the bed. You patted the cool cloth along Gabriel's brow line down to his cheeks in an attempt to cool him down then you assisted him in sitting up so that he could take a sip of the water you'd brought.

"Can archangel's even get sick?" You wondered as Gabriel lay back down

"Only under very specific circumstances," Gabriel panted out with a heavy swallow

"Such as?" You prompted for his continuation

"Um...certain viruses that are brought on by heavenly weapons or things like that," Gabriel briefly explained

"Like the fight you got into yesterday?" You wondered sort of putting two and two together.

"Perhaps...that angel did use a different weapon," Gabriel admitted

"Well just try to relax, all we can do is try to get you better," You state with a worried smile while you brushed a strand of sweaty hair from his face.

After managing to get Gabriel into the bathroom for a cool soak in the tub you returned to the bedroom so as to change the sweaty sheets, replacing them with fresh ones. You cracked the window as wide open as possible to allow the cooler night air to flow in as well as cranking up the air conditioner then you went to check on Gabriel who was simply enjoying the cool of the water but the flush on his cheeks was not reseeding much. Much to the archangel's protest you helped him out of the tub then dried him off before getting him back into bed with a fresh glass of cool water and an ice pack that you pressed to his temples. Gabriel let out a deep sigh as he leaned into the wonderful coolness of the ice pack, eyes fluttering closed as you attempted to stay as far from him as possible for heat sake. Soon Gabe's breathing evened out eventually but his fever was refusing to break making you more concerned then ever. You removed the light sheet Gabe had over him then got some fresh ice for the towel you'd been using, dabbing it now down his torso then down his legs in a desperate attempt to cool down Gabe's core temperature. Finally after 2 hours of worrying and trying to bring down Gabriel's fever it broke, coming down to a reasonable level that made you breath a deep sigh of relief especially when he started to come too.

"Gabe? Can you hear me, babe?" You asked in a low tone

"Y-yeah," Gabriel rasped out as his hazel eyes fluttered open

"Thank goodness! I thought I'd lost you," You stated in a relieved tone that had an under tone of a whimper in it as tears formed in your (E/C) eyes.

"I'm fine babe, don't worry," Gabriel assured you with that marvelous smile of his

"Don't ever do that again!" You scolded half-heartedly

"Okay," Gabriel agreed still smiling at you

Gently Gabe reached his hand up to cup your cheek, pulling lightly to get you to come down to his level. As soon as you were level with his face your lips met his in a passionate yet chaste kiss that spoke volumes to how worried you'd been about him and how relieved you really were that he was going to be okay. Gabriel tapped his forehead to yours once he pulled from the kiss, lightly stroking your cheek with his thumb as he stared into your eyes.

"I'm sorry I worried you," Gabriel apologized in a low voice

"I know," You stated with a smile

"I love you, (Y/N)" Gabriel stated back

"I love you too," You whispered lovingly before pressing your lips back to his for another kiss.

Aww, so sweet!  It's nice to see a Sick! Angel where the reader is the one looking after the angel instead of the other way round.  Loved it!
