Lucifer blinked his eyes as he roughly removed the blanket from his body feeling extremely hot. He felt like something was burning against his chest. His face scrunched up in annoyance and discomfort.

He opened his eyes and roughly clicked the button on his side table. The curtains of the room got unfolded letting the bright rays of sunlight attack the room.

He looked down at his chest and frowned finding his beautiful doll curled up against his chest. He instantly touched her forehead and closed his eyes sighing heavily. She was having a high fever.

And why not the way they both stayed in the pool even though the winter has started taking over it was expected. He heard her slightly coughing indicating that she was waking up.

He immediately cradled her cheeks in his large hands. Catelin slowly opened her green eyes meeting with his worried hazel ones. His eyes were darker than normal and that was enough for her to know.

Aggressive Lucifer. He was still in control of Lucifer's body. But what made her happy was how his expressions weren't of anger or aggressiveness anymore. He was worried.

"You are having a high fever. Stay in bed. I will bring breakfast here. After breakfast, we will go to the hospital ok." She was shaken to her core hearing the great mad man talking in such a soft and sweet voice.

Even though his voice was deeper than usual as he just woke up still the softness lurking from his tongue melted her heart away. She suddenly was in awe of herself. She does have such a great effect on him.

He stood up grabbing the blanket he abused a while ago from the floor and covered her body with it. She got submerged into the bed covering herself with the blanket only letting her eyes out making him smile at her.

He kissed her forehead and went to the bathroom. But before he could enter he heard her voice.

"Lucifer." He stiffly kept on standing there for some time debating on if he should be stubborn or let her be. Finally giving up he went to her and leaned to her face.

"You're sick that's why I am letting you be. Call me babe and don't forget it." He said with a mad tone making her internally roll her eyes. She wasn't used to this but maybe now she has to.

"Alright, babe. I was saying that." Before she could continue she let out a painful cough making him more worried.

"Just call Trevor he can bring an injection for me here. " Her words wiped his worried frown and madness again appeared in his eyes.

Catelin's jaw dropped seeing his worried eyes turning into possessive and obsessive ones in a flash. How can he change his emotions so fast? He gritted his teeth controlling himself.

"Don't! I repeat don't get on my nerves doll. I already told you to stay away from him and don't take his name. Only take mine. No, don't take mine too just call me babe all the time. Now you better stay here and I will go prepare breakfast after washing my face."

Catelin opened her mouth to protest but earning a sharp glare from him she shut up and let him do what he wants after all she was too weak to argue with him.

He got freshened up and went to the kitchen. The first thing, he did was to drink a glass of milk to gather some strength as he was hungry too. After thinking for a long time he finally decided to make soup and pancakes.

But then he realized he doesn't know how to make soup nor did he have soup mixture. So he decided to make only pancakes at least he has its mixture. He smirked satisfied thinking he will make the breakfast easily but only if he knew.

Catelin on the other hand with difficulty got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. She got cold. Her throat was hurting even her body was aching badly. After brushing and washing her face she applied a lotion and went out.

Even though she knew he will get mad but she also wanted to see what he was doing? She had never seen him cooking. She doesn't know if aggressive Lucifer knows how to cook or not.

She reached the kitchen and pursued her lips when she heard him mumbling to himself. Wait! no, he wasn't mumbling to himself instead he was.

"You bitch! What is wrong with you? You fucking better cook right this time or I am gonna." He stopped threatening the pancake that was on the pan.

"Wow good going bitches I am becoming crazier now. Talking to fucking pancake." He said gritting his teeth as he turned the pancake and again it was burnt.

He roughly slumped the spatula on the counter with the done face. He glared at the burnt pancake on the pan.

"Fuck you!" He cursed glaring at the burnt food.

And that was the last string of Catelin. She burst out laughing. He was looking so funny fighting with a pancake which can't even reply to him. Lucifer looked up and for a second he felt embarrassed.

But then he realized. "Why the fuck did you get out of the bed?" He rasped out walking towards her as he turned off the stove.

Catelin tried to speak but her laugh wasn't helping her. She gasped out in surprise when he grabbed her waist and picked her up. He placed her butt on the kitchen counter staring at her sick face. She smiled at him.

"Nothing I just came to see you cooking but got to see a comedy show as well." She said giggling making him narrow his eyes at her. He placed his hands beside her on the edge of the counter leaning his face closer to her.

"I can show you different types of shows as well." He whispered brushing his nose against hers making her breathe out heavily.

He was ready to shut her lips with his but instead, she shut his lips using her small palm. He stared at her hand before glaring at her right in her eyes with a warning. But Catelin had stopped getting scared of his scary looks.

"I am sick babe. Maintain a good distance from me or you will get sick too." She said pushing his face back but instead, he grabbed her wrist and pulled it away from his lips. He kissed the back of her hand before staring into her eyes.
