Vane: Recovery

[gorgonfondness]

Mia's slowly but surely getting better.

Not that that's stopped Draco from hovering near her for the last couple of days.

It's very sweet, and she truly appreciates it, but...

"Dear, you're going to wear yourself out if you spend ALL of your time worrying about me."

Draco had half dozed himself at times, but was clearly sleep deprived. Between the stress of Mia's illness and his own on-going nightmares, sleep had been infrequent and scarce for the past few days.

"Mdfhdff?" He blearily replied, grey eyes slowly blinking open.

[gorgonfondness]

She softly reaches out to stroke his forehead.

"You're worrying too much. I'm getting better, really I am."

"I know, just staying here in case..." Draco replied softly, his head tilting towards her hand.

[gorgonfondness]

She smiles at him, softly and sweetly.

"At least get some tea or something. If not for me, then at least for yourself."

Draco nodded, "I suppose I could." He started to get up, and swayed a little, blinking several times to try to wake up more.

[gorgonfondness]

Mia slowly sits up, propped up by pillows.

"Draco? Are you all right?"

[dragonofgrey.livejournal.com]

"Tired," he admitted, "Maybe some tea will help." Another staggering step, and he decided to back up to flop onto the bed again.

"...In a moment."

[gorgonfondness]

She strokes his forehead again.

"You're not working at your shop, are you? You would be spread far too thin at this rate if you are."

Draco shook his head, "I have a note up stating a family emergency. It's fine."

[gorgonfondness]

Blink.

Blink.

Blush.

"I'm a family emergency?"

Well, she knew he loves her, but at the same time, she doesn't exactly have a lack of people to take care of her here.

He could, in theory, work...

Draco glanced back at her like it was obvious, "Of course, you're my fiancee. Practically family now."

[gorgonfondness]

She reaches over and hugs him with all of her strength, which fortunately isn't much since she's still recovering.

"You are, without a doubt, the sweetest person I know, darling."

She'd kiss you, Draco, but she doesn't want to risk you getting sick, even if you do have Jessica's healing magic and your potions.

[dragonofgrey.livejournal.com]

He really doesn't mind missing out on kisses, because illness is still very ....ew and icky.

She can make it up when she's well again.

"You know when you say it? I feel tempted to believe it." He ruefully replied, because normally? Him and sweet? Yeeeeah, usually don't go together.

[gorgonfondness]

"Well, you are. Not a matter of believing it. It's the truth, and the truth is always true even if no one believes in it."

This could either be normal Mia talking or recovering from delirium Mia talking.

But as she said, the truth is always true.

Draco settled against her, feeling himself drifting off again, and said the universal words of men in couple relationships everyway.

"Whatever you say, dear," he yawned.

[gorgonfondness]

She happily sighs at him.

"You needn't be so accommodating, dear."

[dragonofgrey.livejournal.com]

"Only because I'm tired," Draco mildly whined as his eyes closed. "Night, love."

[gorgonfondness]

She strokes his head a little, looking as he dozed off.

But she still wanted tea.

She carefully gets up and finds that, if she moves slow, then she didn't really have a problem with walking.

Draco woke a while later suddenly from another nightmare. He then started when he realized Mia wasn't in bed anymore.

He got up, and looked around for her, "Mia, where are you?" Rubbing his eyes some.

[gorgonfondness]

Mia was sitting at a table in the Magic Guild kitchen, a teapot and a cup in front of her.

She was lightly dozing, too asleep to hear Draco all the way over in their room, but not too asleep.

[dragonofgrey.livejournal.com]

He eventually found her, and exclaimed, "Mia, you shouldn't be out of bed yet. Come on, luv, wake up."

[gorgonfondness]

She wakes up, not startled but wondering what woke her up.

Oh, it's just Draco.

"Just wanted some tea," she murmurs, picking her cup up again.

It's good, even if it's gone cold.

[dragonofgrey.livejournal.com]

Draco had grabbed his wand as soon as he got up. So he came over to poke her cup and the teapot a few times to warm and refill them again.

"You're still sick. I could have Accio'd some."

[gorgonfondness]

"I didn't want to wake you up. That was the first time I had seen you sleep since I got sick."

A little smile over her cup.

"Sometimes you look so sweet when you're asleep, like you're a little boy."

His cheeks burned pink at that, and he whined, "Mia.... I do not." >.>
