It’s the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas. Or at least it should be. It’s hard to get yourself in a Christmas spirit when you have to interact with family members you don’t like and to top it all of your biggest support, Mingyu, is not here. With crazy last minute schedules and his plans to spend the holidays with his family you were unfortunately forced to be separated for the holiday season.
And you were fine with that at first. You know your boy doesn’t get to spend a lot of time with his family and you were ready to survive a couple of hours filled with annoyance triggered by your distant family. What you were not okay with was enduring all of that while being sick. And it wasn’t just any common cold. Your fever was so bad it made you all drowsy, you felt like you were about to cough your lungs out, you couldn’t breathe and your throat hurt so bad you felt like ripping it out just to get rid of the pain. But nonetheless this is what you have to deal with and it seemed like what was suppose to be a semi enjoyable time turned to be time of pure torture.
So here you are, sitting under what feels like ten layers of blankets, waiting to either fall asleep or pass out of weakness. You don’t care which one it is going to be, you just want the suffering to end at least for a minute. You were texting Mingyu constantly for the past few days. Your big boy is very caring and attentive so when he found out you’re sick he wanted to make sure that even though he’s across the globe he gave you all the comfort he possibly could. But today he was especially quiet, normally that would get you worried but with the fever and the pain you couldn’t even bother to think about it in any cohesive way.
You were trying to fall asleep when you suddenly heard the doorbell. You heard your mom getting up to see who it could be so you didn’t think much of it although you were a little surprised because you couldn’t think of anyone that would come at this late hour. You heard some quiet mumbling as you were falling asleep and then the door to your room opened. Your back was to the door so you thought it may be just your mom checking on you. You felt as if someone was sitting down on your bed and then you felt warmth enveloping you and a hot breath on your cheek. And then you heard it.
You almost didn’t believe it at first thinking it was some kind of weird fever dream. But then you heard it again “Baby~” sounding almost like an angel sent just for you. Which honestly he is. You turned around as quickly as your weak body allowed you to. And there he was, your knight in shining armor, your golden retriever boyfriend, smiling and looking at you with kind eyes.Your little Christmas miracle. If you weren’t crying before out of pain you sure are sobbing now. You can’t even see Mingyu through the tears. You only hear him saying sweet nothings to you to calm you down and you feel the warmth of his hug. Just like a big puppy, he came running to you the moment he found out you were suffering. And even though you’re still sick and exhausted none of that felt as bad now that he was here because you know you’re always safe in his arms.
