jschlatt imagines

this one was a request from DerikaMckoy1 , hope you enjoy!!

pain filled your head as the morning sunlight shone through the open bedroom curtains and right into your eyes. you placed your hand on the right side of the bed to try and find a sleeping schlatt to comfort you, but you were met with a partially-folded over comforter and a cold side of the bed. you heard little clanks and bangs coming from the kitchen and figured he was up and at it.

you wished you could say the same. your head pounded like it had never before. you did whatever you could to relieve any amount of pain, which ended up being rarely opening your eyes, stuffing your head into a pillow, and rubbing your forehead constantly.

you didn't know what time it was as you had opened your eyes a couple of times since you had woken up. the massive headache pounding through your head kept you from being able to function, so you were still in bed and had been for quite some time after you were actually awake.

schlatt, on the other hand, had woken up earlier than normal, trying to get a good start to his day. he spent the morning doing a bit of cleaning and editing and was now in the kitchen sipping on a cup of coffee. he pulled his phone out of his pocket and looked at the time.

it's already noon? y/n's normally always up by now.

schlatt realized that you uncharacteristically still hadn't gotten up. he decided to go check on you and began making his way to the bedroom. "y/nnnnnnn, wake uuuuppppp," he drew out as he walked into the room and over to your side of the bed, shaking you lightly.

you swatted his hand away and grumbled. the loudness of his voice made your head hurt ten times more and you weren't having it. "too loud," you mumbled, your face still in a pillow.

schlatt's eyebrows furrowed as he sat down on the edge of the bed. "what's wrong?" he spoke, making an effort to be significantly quieter.

"bad headache," was all you replied with. schlatt frowned as you turned over to face him, slightly opening your eyes before shutting them once again. "too bright," you mumbled.

schlatt immediately got up and closed the curtains, getting rid of most of the light in the room. "i guess you're gonna be down and out most of the day?" he asked as he sat back down on the edge of the bed. you nodded into your pillow.

"do you need anything?" he asked as he tucked random stray hairs behind your ear.

"ibuprofen, water, cuddles," you bluntly responded. schlatt softly chuckled at your choice of using significantly limited speech as he got up.

"okay," he smiled and made his way out of the room to grab the bottle of ibuprofen sitting in the bathroom and a glass of water from the kitchen.

while he did that, you slowly but surely started to be able to open your eyes without immense pain flooding through your head every time. this was the worst headache you had ever had.

schlatt returned a little while later and sat a glass of water on your nightstand. he uncapped the bottle and handed you the correct dosage. you sat up slightly and sipped on your water as you took the medication.

"what was the third thing you needed?" schlatt asked with a small smirk. you lightly exhaled out of your nose and closed your eyes while facing him.

"cuddles," you responded as you tiredly raised your arms out and did a little "gimme gimme" motion.

schlatt chuckled lightly as he slid into bed beside of you. he quickly wrapped his arms around you and placed his legs with yours. his head instinctively went to the crook of your neck. you smiled, some of the pain in your head subsiding almost instantly.

"cuddles are the best medicine," you whispered, making schlatt chuckle.

"thank you for taking care of me," you said with a smile as you turned over to face schlatt, letting your slightly-opened eyes adjust to the absence of most light in the room.

"it's what i'm here to do, hon," he responded with a smile before kissing your forehead. "now you get some rest, okay?" he asked, looking deeply into your eyes. you nodded lightly as you felt yourself begin to doze off.

"while you're resting, i'll work on making that headache go away," schlatt added before looking back to realize you were already pretty much asleep.

a little more sleep couldn't hurt.

schlatt kissed your forehead once again and tightened his grip on you, snuggling even close than before. he began to join you in a comfortable afternoon nap, the two of you glad to be by each other's side.
