A sudden light, firm but soft was coming from Zendayas flashlight. The time was 3:34 in the morning, and a sore throat kept the brunette wide awake and frustrated.

She slowly rolled out of her boyfriends embrace, doing her best not to wake him up and succeeding, which she was proud of since he is a light sleeper.

Her throat was sore and itchy, and she was practically high on the amount of tea she has drank the previous day, she groaned in frustration and slowly pulled out a cup from the drawer before adding too much sugar and a tea bag.

She could feel her eyes closing on her, but she fought the tiredness with a sip of her tea that burnt her entire mouth.

"Hey babe, why are you up?" A low voice screeched over the silence, followed by a yawn escaping the brunette haired boy's mouth.

Zendays eyes flew up, quickly putting down the cup of tea and tucking her knees under her chin. "Are you okay?" The boy continued with slight worry growing on his features.

Zendaya sighed tiredly, leaving her precious cup of tea behind and snuggled into his chest.

"I just got the flu, but I'm fine" she murmured, lifting her eyes up from his chest to lock with his greenish ones.

He smiled softly, his hand finding its way to her loose hair.

He always likes it when she let her hair out of her firm ponytail, finally letting her brunette soft curls fall on her shoulders.

"I can cuddle with you until you fall asleep.. or you can stay downstairs alone finishing that cup of tea" he said in a soft whisper that made her even more sleepy than she already was.

"Mhm I really want to finish that cup of tea" she chuckled softly, removing his hands from around her before he pulled her back into his embrace and smiled.

"I'll bring you that cup of tea and honey while you'll go upstairs and get comfortable in bed, okay?" He asked nuzzling his nose into her brown curls. She slightly nodded, and was soon already tucked under the covers.

She smiled sadly to herself, too uncomfortable to focus on anything but her cold, when her boyfriend showed up, his back resting against the doorframe of the room.

He admired her cute face from the small distance, waiting for her to notice him. her head whipped around to his direction and she chuckled "look at you, all.. helpy"

"Helpy?" Tom questioned as his eyebrows furrowed "how much tea did you drink?"

She laughed and grasped the blanket, motioning Him to get under the covers as well which he happily accepted.

He protectively wrapped his arms around her, his chin resting on her head and she sighed thankfully.

"Thank you babe, it means a lot" Zendaya said nuzzling her head deeper into Tom's neck.

"Oh please" he smiled "I'll do it for the rest of my life if I need to"
