Chapter Text

You walk into town feeling tired but you refuse to get checked because you were always that stubborn refusing help all the time from everyone. You walk into Pierre's shop with visible bags under your eyes but you could care less all you wanted was to buy some seeds for your farm. "30 Potato seeds please Pierre." You say putting down 1500 dollars. "Okay! here you- .. go." Pierre responded taking an almost instant notice to your sleep deprived state. "Thank you." You say taking your seeds and yawning loudly. "When was the last time you slept?" Pierre asked concern etched onto his features. "uhh 2:00 AM." You respond sleepily heading for the door. "See you later Pierre." You leave before Pierre can respond trudging towards your house every step felt like a mile before you fell face first in the dirt.

"Oh my!" A concerned Harvey responded leaving his medical area because of a loud noise. He quickly checked your vitals noting your tired expression. "When was the last time you slept." Harvey said checking your temperature to find a burning fever. "2.00 AM." You responded weakly. He cursed under his breath before picking you up and rushing you inside putting you on a stretcher. "I'm cough, cough. I'm fine." You respond weakly and Harvey shoots you a knowing look. "It never hurt to be careful." He responded going to the back to get some medicine for your fever. "Drink this." He said putting a bowl near your lips. "It should quicken up the healing process." He said waiting for you to stop resisting. You took small sips of the cool liquid it filling up your stomach and causing for you to feel less like a forest fire.

"Thank you." You muttered gratefully. All around you could hear him working and writing down your symptoms clearly concerned for your well-being. Unable to stay awake any longer you fall asleep on the stretcher your mind becoming foggy and clouded by drowsiness. "Yawn." you say loudly sitting up wincing in pain from untreated scars of your past. "No stay laying down your injured." Harvey said writing down more doctoral terms. Despite his words you still sit up from the stretcher leaning your back against the cold wall. "It's worse than I thought." He muttered quietly. "How long have you gone without those injuries treated?" He asked nervously. "Two weeks." You respond quietly almost ashamed. He cursed under his breath. "Can you stand?" He asked and you try to stand up from the stretcher wobbling a bit before finding your balance.

"Change into those scrubs and lay back down." He said writing more things down. Knowing your complaints would be useless you do as asked coming out of the changing room in scrubs. "Sit down." He stated taking out some gauze and Hydrogen Peroxide. "Show me all of your injuries." He said concern engraved on his face. You roll up your sleeves to show cuts from farming and tiling the ground. "That will do for now." He said grabbing a cotton ball and putting a good bit of Hydrogen Peroxide on it before saying. "It might burn a bit but don't pull away." You nod and brace yourself for the sting as he cleans your wounds. "Why didn't you say anything." He asked worried wrapping gauze around your arms. "I didn't want to be a burden." You respond truthfully and he looks at you with a hurt expression.

"You could've at least told me." His voice cracked ever so slightly making you incredibly regretful for not saying anything sooner. "Y..Your other injuries?" He asked trying to maintain a bit of professionalism. "I have one on my back." You say as he goes behind your adjusting the scrubs to be able to clean your wounds. As you felt the sting you inhaled sharply tears welling up in your eyes. "It's okay i'm done cleaning it." He said wrapping your back in gauze trying to get you less tense. "You've been overworking yourself way too much." He said in a matter a fact tone. You just nod in agreement with him. "If this keeps up I might personally go to the farm myself to stop you from overworking yourself." You chuckle then quickly realized his seriousness. "I need to work for a living though." You say in defensive tone.

"You also need sleep for a living if you continue working at this rate you'll send yourself into an early grave and that.. that can't happen." Right then and there was the moment you realized just how much Harvey cared about you. "What if I did go into an early grave who would care?" You say despite knowing his feelings. "I would." he responded his voice broken with emotion. "I need you alive." He muttered softly and almost out of instinct you grab his hand and intertwine your fingers with his. His eyes widen at your bold move but he doesn't pull away. You yawn. "You need rest." He says a small grateful smile gracing his lips. "But I want to talk to you." You say smiling yourself. "Tease." He muttered before trying to convince you to sleep. "But in this stretcher and in these clothes their so uncomfortable." You say cheekily thinking you've found a loophole.

"Okay then." He said having an idea. "Follow me." He says heading towards a set of stairs you've never been up. "Where are we going an attic." You joke before holding your tongue when seeing his room. A small Oh came out of your mouth as you looked at him. "That's what I thought now you have a bed and more comfortable clothes now go to sleep." He said triumphantly and then headed back downstairs to work. You change into a new set of clothes them being to big since they weren't your own and you slip into his bed which is surprisingly comfortable not even a minute passed before you fell asleep dreaming of soft dreams probably the best nights sleep you've had in a while but you would never tell Harvey that. "Zzz."
