"Why are you trying to get up? You need rest, remember?"
But I want to get outta bed
"I know you want to get out of bed, but you need to stay here and rest." Alex walks over to the bed and blocks DressyStar from getting up
"No, I'm sorry. I can't let you get up right now. You're still very sick." Alex puts a hand on DressyStar's shoulder to stop them from leaving
"Look, I know it's hard to stay in bed when all you want to do is go out and have fun. But you have to understand that your health is the most important thing right now. If you don't take care of yourself, you won't be able to enjoy anything in the long run. Please, just try to stay in bed for a few more days. I promise it'll be worth it." Alex looks into DressyStar's eyes, hoping to convey how serious the situation is
"Thank you for understanding. I know it's not easy, but I appreciate your cooperation. Now, let me help you get comfortable.
"Great. How about I fluff up the pillows for you and bring you a warm blanket? That should make you feel more comfortable."
Alex starts to gather the pillows and blankets, arranging them around DressyStar to make them as comfortable as possible
"You're welcome, sweetheart. Just remember, I'm here for you. If you need anything, just let me know." Alex gives DressyStar a gentle kiss on the forehead and sits down next to them
"Do you need me to get you anything? More water, maybe? Or perhaps some entertainment? A book, a movie, anything to pass the time?"
No..puts phone down and closes eyes Just tired
"Alright, just remember to rest. If you need anything, even if it's just to talk, don't hesitate to wake me up. I'm right here beside you."
"Good. Now close your eyes and try to relax. I'll stay right here, watching over you." Alex gently strokes DressyStar's hair, soothing them to sleep
Alex continues to sit by DressyStar's side, quietly reading a book while occasionally glancing over to check on their condition. The room is filled with a sense of calm and comfort, as Alex does everything in their power to make DressyStar feel safe and cared for
After a while, Alex notices DressyStar stirring in their sleep, signs of discomfort evident on their face "Hey, are you okay? Do you need anything?"
"Alright, let me adjust the pillows for you. Maybe that will help." Alex carefully rearranges the pillows to provide better support for DressyStar's head and neck
"I'm glad you find it more comfortable. Just remember, I'm always here to make sure you're okay.
"Good. Now close your eyes and try to relax. I'll stay right here, watching over you." Alex gently strokes DressyStar's hair, soothing them back to sleep
As the night goes on, Alex continues to stay by DressyStar's side, ensuring their comfort and safety. Eventually, exhaustion catches up with Alex, and they too fall asleep, leaning against the bedrail
