Sebastian slowly awoke to a blaring noise coming from near his head. He opened his eyes blearily and saw his phone lighting up. His muscles ached and his whole body was sore, but he reached for the phone to see his 4:00 an alarm going off.

He turned it off and laid there for a moment, contemplating his options, but he decided since it took all his energy to even turn off his alarm, that he wouldn't be able to do much else today. So his next energy sapping move was to call Kevin and call off for the day.

Kevin could just hear in his voice that he was definitely feeling run down. He told him to feel better soon and keep him updated on how he was. Sebastian hung up quickly after and immediately fell back to sleep.

Sebastian didn't sleep very well through the night and early morning. His nose was all stopped up so it made it hard to breathe. And since he couldn't breathe through his nose, his mouth was open way more so now that was dried out. Sebastian just felt like a complete and utter mess.

His entire morning was a blur.

At one point Rylee came in, asking if he called Kevin. He said yes and fell back asleep.

A little later he remembered hearing the door open and something clink on the table, but he didn't have enough energy to will himself to fully wake up and see what it was.

He coughed himself awake. But barely remembered it happening. Giving way to sleep again.

His phone ringer went off but he didn't move to answer it, hearing the chime cease. And back to sleep.

The next time he woke, he looked at the bed side alarm and saw the time said 9:00. It didn't feel like 9:00. He wasn't sure if it felt like it was earlier or later. But it didn't feel like 9:00.

The next thing he knew, he was looking at the clock and it was 11:23.

What?

He hadn't realized that Rylee was the reason he was waking up right now. She was rubbing his shoulder gently and he looked up at her wearily. "Hi."

"Hey bub, how you feelin'?" Rylee questioned, placing the back of her hand on his forehead again, still a bit warm.

"Eh."

"Yeah, you look 'eh'," She chuckled, "here. Take these." She handed him two orange DayQuils and a glass of water.

He took them and popped them into his mouth, and slowly drank the entirety of the glass she handed him. He didn't realize how thirsty he was.

"I'll be right back," Rylee patted his knee and took the glass out with her.

As she left, Sebastian tried to push himself up, but only made it a short distance, half sitting up against the headboard behind him. He reached for a tissue and blew his nose hard, grossed out by his own self. He ended up needing another one.

Rylee walked back in, glass completely full with water again, setting it on the side table. Sebastian chucked his tissues into the waste basket beside him. He leaned back against the headboard, trying to breathe through his nose but to no avail.

"This might be silly but it also might help," Rylee said, holding up something else that Sebastian didn't see her bring in. It was a teeny four inch tall plastic cactus.

He looked at her with utter confusion. Am I sick and high?

Rylee laughed at the face he made, "It's a mini humidifier. It's not going to solve all the worlds problems but maybe if it's on this side table near your head, it'll help a bit." She shrugged, hitting the on switch on the bottom of it and it's little clear flower on top began to change colors, pushing out a light mist.

Cute. He thought, very Rylee-esque.

"So, how about you, keep on trying to catch up on that sleep...I'll just be downstairs okay?" She pushed his hair back again, running her fingers through it lightly.

He nodded, "Thanks, Ry. For everything." He mumbled tiredly. "Even for this lil guy," he tacked on, flicking the little cactus, almost knocking it over.

"Ay. Respect George."

Sebastian almost choked on nothing, a belly laugh causing him to cough, "George?"

"Yes, George." She patted the humidifier, leaned down to kiss Sebastian's forehead, "love you," and left the room.

Sebastian stared at the little cactus, and chuckled to himself, "George."

He slid back down to lay his head on the pillow and quickly fell back asleep.

——————————

Sebastian woke up feeling weird. His forehead felt heavy? How does your forehead feel heavy? He went to put his hand on it and was met with a cold damp washcloth.

"Oh. That makes sense."

"What makes sense?"

Sebastian jumped at Rylee's voice, he didn't realize she was in the room. But there she was, relaxing in the armchair on the opposite side of the room, reading.

"My head felt... and...just...never mind." He couldn't form a logical sentence, so he just decided to give up on the thought.

"How're you feeling?" Rylee said, closing her book and walking over to sit on the edge of the bed, placing her hand on Sebastian's knee, rubbing her thumb in small circles.

"I think George is helping." Sebastian cracked a smile.

Rylee laughed, "Well good, cause he tries his best."

There was a momentary silence between the two of them, that Rylee broke by asking, "So, could I interest you in some food? Some soup perhaps?"

"Eh, I dunno," his sentence was punctuated by his stomach growling loudly through the room.

"Okay well...Stomach just spoke up, so! I will be back." She patted his knee once as she stood up and left for the kitchen downstairs.

About ten minutes later, Rylee came traipsing back upstairs, soup in hand and a small plate of crackers to boot.

"You're too good to me," Sebastian said, his shoulders sagging into the back of the bed as he sat up, taking the warm bowl from Rylee.

"I just like keeping you alive. You're sort of important to me," she shrugged with a smirk.

"Ditto."

She laughed heartily, "Did you just ditto me?"

"Umm...yes." He said, taking in a spoonful of soup, looking at Rylee through his eyelashes.

"You're lucky I love you." She laughed again, nudging his leg.

——————————

The rest of the day went about the same.

Sleeping. Coughing. Sneezing.

Sneezing. Sleeping. Coughing.

Coughing. Sneezing. Sleeping.

Sebastian was starting to feel a bit better though. He could sort of breathe through his nose now. The DayQuil was surprisingly working wonders on his system.

——————————

The next time Sebastian looked at the clock it was 8:56. He actually felt significantly better. His nose was still a little stuffed but he didn't feel half as run down as he did a few hours ago.

He got out of bed, grabbed his phone and pocketed it and went downstairs, where he found Rylee fast asleep on the couch, book laying across her chest.

He walked lightly to the fridge to grab a new Gatorade but accidentally knocked a bottle off the shelf onto the floor. He cringed at the noise and poked his head around the fridge door to see if he woke Rylee up, but she didn't stir.

He shut the door and padded back towards the stairs, taking a sip from his new bottle. As he turned the corner, he accidentally kicked his foot into the bottom step, causing him to let out a loud "fuck!" He sat down to collect himself for a minute when he heard Rylee's groggy voice say "Sebastian? Are you okay?"

"Shit, I'm sorry Ry. I was trying to let you sleep."

"It's okay, I didn't mean to fall asleep anyway. What happened?"

"I stubbed my toe on the steps." Sebastian said with a pout.

"Aw," Rylee replied, "you're just falling apart today aren't you? Well besides your toe, how are you feeling? I'm surprised to see you out of bed."

"Basically, but actually I feel pretty okay. Not 100% but, a lot closer than 12 hours ago."

"Good! I'm glad." Rylee smiled softly, she sat up a bit, making room on the couch where she patted, ushering Sebastian to come sit by her.

For the rest of the evening, the two stayed cuddled together on the couch, catching up on their marvel marathon, diving into Avengers.

It was a nice way to end the day that started out not so great.

They both eventually ended up moving up to the bedroom, where they both fell asleep relatively quickly, snug together, under the covers.

——————————

Wednesday came along in a flash. Sebastian woke up feeling surprisingly refreshed, and decided to go onto set for his 9:00 am call time.

Rylee went over to Alexa's apartment for the afternoon, relaxing and watching trashy tv shows together over glasses of wine.

"So I'm guessing Sebastian's better since he went to work," Alexa asked curiously, taking a sip from her glass.

"Yeah, it was some weird 24 hour bug. He's practically back to normal, but he got hit with it like a freight train as soon as he landed Monday evening."

"Aw, Poor buddy." Alexa pouted.

"Yeah...I honestly think the filming schedule is just wearing him thin. He films here, he films in Georgia. He flys back. He's gone again. I don't know how he does it."

"Yeah, Chris' schedule is insane too, he hasn't had to do the Georgia trips though."

At that moment, Rylee's phone buzzed in her pocket. She pulled it out to see a new message. It's like he knew they were taking about him.

😍

Hey Babe.

How's it going?

❤️

Not too shabby

Alexa says hi

How're you feeling?

😍

Hi back 🙂

Almost back to normal. But still feel like I'm surviving sometimes. I've caught a lot of naps today.

❤️

Well that's good. And I saw one of your prime nap spots. Underneath the catering table? Really? Chris may have took a picture and blessed me with the evidence.

😍

Oi. That fuck. 😂

❤️

😘

😍

Gotta get rolling. I'll talk to you later. Love you

❤️

Love you, be safe.

The girls spent the rest of their evening together until eventually, Sebastian came knocking on the door to pick Rylee up on his way through at around 8:00.

"So, how was your day?" Sebastian asked as they walked back down to his car.

"Good, relaxing, how about yours?"

"Not too bad. I can breathe out of my nose now. So that's cool. I actually feel like I'm pretty much back to normal."

"Oh yeah?"

"Mhmm." Sebastian hummed, opening the car door for Rylee.

"Well then, I may have some plans for us this evening." Rylee smirked, leaning up to kiss him slowly, standing outside the car.

"Hopefully we've got the same plans in mind, or someone's gonna be disappointed." Sebastian laughed.

"Oh I think so." Rylee smirked as she slipped into the car, Sebastian closing the door behind her.

A moment later, Sebastian was in the drivers seat, "I have an idea. Do you want to go on a detour?"

"Will it interfere with the plans?"

"Baby, it is the plan," Sebastian smirked as he drove the other direction from their apartment.

They drove for a little while, Sebastian knowing exactly where they would end up, but Rylee hadn't the slightest. She could see the city disappearing behind them as they drove.

Not too much later, Sebastian parked the car and Rylee was taken aback by their location.

It was beautiful.

They were parked in a small lot off a side road, high above the city on a hill, where they could see the whole skyline, starting to shine brightly with man made lights as the sun went down.

"Sebastian, this is amazing." Rylee said in aw.

"It's always been one of my favorite spots. No one comes up here, it's like a little hidden gem. But it's nice to know all the hustle and bustle is down there, and it's just simple and quiet up here." Sebastian talked quietly, putting his arm around Rylee, pulling her closer, "Someone New" by Hozier lightly playing in the background.

"So...this is it?" Rylee questioned.

Sebastian looked her way with a furrowed brow, confused.

"This is where you murder me right?" She jokingly asked.

"Yup, how'd you guess?" Sebastian laughed.

"I watch enough murder documentaries, Sebastian. The hot old man sweeps the young unassuming girl off her feet and makes her fall in love and then," Rylee makes a neck slicing motion along with a disgustingly accurate sound.

"Well, one, ouch. I'm not old. I'm only like two years older than you. And, two, I wouldn't," Sebastian copied the neck slicing motion and disgusting noise she made, "too messy...I've got other ideas for messy though..." Sebastian laughed lightly, leaning across the center console to nip and kiss at Rylee's neck.

"Bad move," Rylee came back with.

Sebastian sat back for a second, "huh?"

"Murder 101 Sebastian Stan. Semen always gets people caught. Have you seen what they do with black lights?"

"Ohhhhhh my god. Shut up." Sebastian cracked up, diving back in full force, crashing their lips together, tongues meeting together. Rylee sat up more, putting her hand on Sebastian's chest as she sat on the center console, dragging herself back across it to get to the backseat. The hand she kept on his chest grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him back into the backseat on top of her.

Their mouths connected back together and one of Sebastian's hands drifted under Rylee's shirt and up to her breast, kneading it in his palm.

Rylee reached down between them, slipping her hand down into his sweatpants, thanking everything ever that he was wearing those and not some tight jeans. She palmed his cock, eliciting a deep moan out of Sebastian.

"God Rylee." Sebastian groaned. He slid the hand from up in her shirt out and down to her leggings, tugging on those and her panties, pulling them down to her knees. He plunged two of his fingers into her folds, ripping a gasp from her.

As she pumped her hand up and down his length, he worked her at practically the same tempo, adding another finger.

Rylee was done with waiting and yanked down Sebastian's pants and boxer briefs, spreading her legs out more, pushing her leggings and panties off the whole way, an open invitation.

Sebastian picked up the hint and lined himself up with her, plunging in slow, but deep. It always amazed Rylee how amazing he felt inside her. She put one hand on his hip, the other behind his neck, grabbing into his hairline. She wrapped her legs behind his ass, somehow forcing him in deeper.

Sebastian and Rylee's moans and noises mixed together in the back of the car while the windows began to fog from the heat being produced.

He continued thrusting, reaching back under Rylee's shirt to get back to her breast where he left off. He pushed and fought with her shirt and bra, trying to get down to her with his mouth.

She moaned and laughed lightly at the same time, looking up at Sebastian and his frustration. She helped push her shirt and bra up. Sebastian let out a relieved, thankful sigh as he dove down to take her left nipple into his mouth.

He popped his mouth off it, blowing on it for a moment, the cold made it perk even more than it already was. Pleased with his work, he dove down to work on the right side.

Rylee's nails scratched down Sebastian's neck and back, all the feelings at once, overwhelming. She could already feel herself, coiling tight, ready to burst at the seams.

Sebastian could feel her clenching, around him as he thrusted in and out, making sure to find that spot that got her moaning louder every time he hit it.

"Fuck! Yes Seb! Right there!" Rylee panted out between thrusts.

Sebastian let his mouth off her nipple with a pop, "Mmm. Yeah. Cum for me baby." Sebastian whispered low in her ear.

"Fuck! Sebastian! Yes!" Rylee practically yelled as she came, climax ripping from inside out.

Sebastian thrusted a handful more times and was overtaken by his orgasm as well, spilling into her.

"God damn," Sebastian sighed, breathing heavily, as he plopped down on top of Rylee, still inside her.

Rylee let out an "oof" along with a laugh at his dead weight on top of her. "Uh, 'scuse me sir."

Sebastian huffed out a laugh and went to get up, pulling himself out of her, but stopped.

"Uh...Ryles. I'm stuck." He laughed.

"What?" Rylee questioned.

"My pants...are caught on the door handle," Sebastian laughed harder now.

Rylee sat up on her elbows to see that yes indeed, Sebastian's pants were somehow stuck on the door handle, but she couldn't sit up fully to reach back behind him to help. So she stayed on her elbows and tried to kick her foot out to knock it loose, but then they heard a whirring sound.

"Oh shit," Sebastian fell over on top of Rylee again, when he felt the cool August breeze on his bare ass. Rylee had accidentally rolled down the window with her foot.

They both couldn't stop laughing at this point. Sebastian tried to maneuver his body differently again, this time, pulling his pants off of the handle, but by doing so, he accidentally opened the door, causing him to fall backwards out the door, straight onto the ground.

Rylee couldn't help but let out a loud laugh at the situation. Through her laugh filled tears, she asked Sebastian if he was okay. He thrusted his hips up, planting his feet and back onto the ground, to tug his pants back up around his hips. He gave Rylee a thumbs up but stayed on the ground, still laughing.

Rylee was still laughing when she heard Sebastian say "Oh, shit!" quickly and scramble back into the car, shutting the door and rolling up the window.

Her laughs died down quickly, out of confusion, until she saw a pair of headlights drive by, briefly reflecting into Sebastian's car. They drove by slowly, but they couldn't be sure if the people were looking at their car or just taking the turn to continue up the steep hill.

A few breathless moments passed, and the headlights continued their arch, going around the other bend behind them. Both Sebastian and Rylee breathed a sigh of relief and then began laughing again. Sebastian backed up a bit and grabbed Rylee's clothes for her, and inched over to give her more room to slide them on.

Their laughs had eventually died down, Rylee attempting to wipe the tears away from her eyes as they both sat side by side in the back seat. "What a night," Sebastian stated, planting a kiss on Rylee's lips.
