Team Arrow had defeated Prometheus and had escaped Lian Yu.

But in the process the last few weeks had wrecked Thea enough that a simple summer cold had basically knocked her flat. Nothing serious thankfully, just a combo of stress and a summer cold messing her up all at once.

So she was basically stuck indoors on bed rest for a mere cold when she felt that now familiar chill that was Trunks's typical arrival. Little did she know it was a wild round of time travel phone tag since Felicity had called Ray who called Rip who called Trunks. Between coughing fits she calls from the sofa,"I know that chill anywhere!" as a nasty sneeze can be heard. But he would find her on the couch with enough tissues to stock a small army and looking as miserable as she sounded on the phone the prior night when she made it back to Star City.

That smile is part of what had won him, or at least given him bravery enough to give all of this a try. If she can still smile like that, where it lights her up and makes you believe she can do anything, after all she's been through... It was enough for him, and brought a smile back.

Settling closer against her, both for support and to provide warmth, he had the cap ready for when she was done with some sips from the bottle. "Just nod your head yes or no. Do you want to curl back up, after some water?"

Thea nods a yes, one more attempt at sleep could help? But her smile is that real one, one not many get to see. Its Thea at her most real and true. But in spite of her current misery she drops a kiss onto Trunks's cheek.

She's squeezed gently in a hug in turn, his head leaning against hers, at the kiss. Waiting to be sure she's done with the water bottle, before re-capping it. Making sure it's sealed, then placing it nearby. "Alright, so more cuddling it is, and hopefully some more sleep and rest."

Trunks kept her wrapped up in the blankets, and moved to wrap his arms around her too. Cuddling and curling her against him protectively, kiss dropped on the top of her head as he breathed in and out, relaxing. Keeping her warm, hoping she was comfy, and ready to try and rest some more himself. "Anything else? Less blankets, more blankets? You comfortable, Thea?"

[redarrowqueen]

Thea's throat was screwed up enough from that last fit but she could nod she was ok for the moment. But she does snag a blanket, a sign she's cold since she's gotten good at going non verbal while sick. She's on the mend but its just hit a few tiny snags along the way.

Trunks just tucks that blanket around her more too, before settling down. "Sleep if you can Thea, and don't worry." The unspoken I'm here, I'll handle it hopefully got through to her as well as Trunks took a breath in and out, and relaxed.

Hopefully he'd be able to sleep again too. Once they were both awake again, it'd be time for food, and then she was getting clean while he did laundry. How very very exciting.
