MCYT(Mostly Hermitcraft)Oneshot Boo... - Chapter 9: Chapter 9

"Scar..Wake up love" Doc whispers as he pulls Scar close. He smiles fondly, watching his lover's eyes flutter open. Scar blinks several times to clear the sleep from his eyes before he sits up.
Doc leans forward and presses a kiss to Scar's forehead, then pulls out of bed. "I'll make some breakfast." he says, leaving a sleepy Scar in bed.
He quickly runs downstairs and gets started on making breakfast for the two of them. When he finishes making their breakfast, he turns around and is met with a rather tired looking Scar standing at the top of the stairs, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Good morning my Scar." He smiles. "Do you want breakfast? We could eat in the lounge room?" Scar just nods sleepily in reply, making his way to sit down at one end of the couch.
Once he has food ready they both go into the living room. Once they're done eating the pair curl up together on the couch. As they lie there watching television Doc can't help but notice how tired his boyfriend looks, despite the fact that he went to bed earlier than he normally does. Scar yawns again causing Doc to laugh softly. "Are you alright Scar?" Doc asks, reaching over to hold his hand.
Scar sighs in contentment as he lets Doc's thumb rub circles across his palm. "Just a little sleepy. But it's nothing I can't handle." He kisses Doc gently and rests his head on Doc's shoulder.
Doc hums happily. "Well, maybe you should get more sleep." Doc suggests.
Scar pouts at him, and wraps an arm around Doc's waist pulling him closer. "But then you won't be here."
Doc chuckles slightly and brushes a strand of hair out of Scar's face. "I know, but this is important to me too. I want you to get some rest when I'm at work. Ok?" Doc asks. Scar reluctantly agrees, nuzzling further into Doc. The two lay there for a few more minutes before Scar drifts off to sleep. Doc takes that moment to watch Scar sleep; how beautiful his eyelashes were against his skin, how peaceful his features seemed when he slept, how perfect and breathtaking he is. And he loved him so damn much, he wouldn't trade him for anything in the world.
He watches as Scar shifts slightly and buries his face in Doc's neck before nuzzling deeper into his chest. Doc smiles and picks Scar up. He takes Scar upstairs and lays him in bed. He pulls the blanket on Scar and kisses his forehead. He starts getting dressed for work. He puts on his lab coat and grabs his bag. "I'll see you later Scar. I love you" Doc whispers as he walks out of the room and leaves for work.
When Doc gets home he goes upstairs and sees Scar, still curled up in bed. The sun had set sometime during his shift so that now Scar was all in the dark. His hair was messy and fell out of place, as did the loose thread hanging on his shirt. Doc frowns lightly and sets his bag down. "Baby?" Doc sits and shakes Scar's arm slightly.
Scar groans quietly and opens his eyes, staring at Doc blearily before blinking rapidly a few times to clear the sleep from them. "Sorry Scar. I needed to see if you are ok.." Doc presses the back of his hand to Scar’s forehead, Scar's forehead is burning hot. "Hun, you're burning up. Do you feel sick?" Doc whispers. He reaches over and takes a thermometer from his bag. "Open your moth please." Doc asks, Scar immediately opens his mouth. He slides it under Scar's tongue, waits a few seconds the reads it. "101.2 degrees baby." Doc states, looking worriedly at Scar who's now awake enough to look up at him. "You have a high fever. How do you feel?"
Scar closes his eyes and shrugs nonchalantly. "I dunno, fine." He replies sleepily, his eyes falling shut. He makes no move to remove the blanket. Doc chuckles fondly. "I'll be right back. I'll get you some medicine and hot tea." Doc says as he kisses Scar's head. He gets up and heads into the kitchen to start making tea for Scar. Once he's finished, he comes back to the bedroom, Scar is passed out on the bed. He kneels beside the bed and strokes Scar's cheek. Scar grumbles quietly in his sleep, turning his cheek towards Doc. He brings the teapot close and pours some tea into the cup. "How about I bring you some pain killers once you've had some tea?" Doc says, stroking Scar's hair. Scar mumbles something that sounds vaguely like an affirmative, then curls up tighter on himself. Doc stands and places the cup on the nightstand. He then goes to the bathroom and grabs the medication. He returns to the bedroom carrying the medicine. He sets the tray on the side table before sitting on the edge of the bed next to Scar. "Scar, sweetheart, drink some tea please" he asks. Scar rolls to his other side, away from Doc, curling up even smaller. "Come on babe, don't be stubborn" Doc coaxes. Scar doesn't budge, still refusing to open his eyes. Doc sighs heavily, before grabbing one of the pills off the tray. He shakes two of them onto the palm of his hand. "Look at me sweetheart. Please try to sit up."
Slowly, reluctantly, Scar opens his eyes and turns back towards Doc, letting Doc help him sit up. "Swallow these and have some tea. Then we can go to sleep." He instructs. Scar takes the pills and drinks tea to help them go down. Doc grabs his pjs and gets ready for bed. After slipping into bed, he turns off the light and lays down, pulling Scar into his arms and resting his chin on the top of Scar's head. "Night sweetheart. Sweet dreams." He says softly kissing the top of Scar's head. Scar mutters something under his breath, sounding vaguely disgruntled. "What was that love?" Doc asks, concerned that Scar may be in pain. He's answered by silence, which Doc assumes means he's asleep. He sighs. "You'll feel better tomorrow sunshine". With that Doc closes his eyes and falls fast asleep with Scar pressed securely against him.
The sun is beginning to rise outside their window, casting rays of golden sunlight through the curtains. Doc wakes first, feeling more refreshed than he usually does in the morning. There is a soft snore coming from his side of the bed which causes him to smile softly. Scar has rolled closer to Doc, his body now lying flat on the bed. Carefully, and slowly so as not to wake him up, Doc slides carefully from the bed, careful not to disturb him, until he is stood fully upright. He pulls on his slippers then quietly pads his way out of the bedroom. He walks into the bathroom and takes a shower. It wasn't long after that that Scar began to stir, shifting on the bed as well as his eyes open.
When Scar is awake Doc comes out of the bathroom, wearing only the towel.
Scar covers his eyes with the blanket. This causes Doc to chuckle and quickly get dressed. "Good morning beautiful." Doc greets, smiling widely at Scar as he climbs up onto the bed.
Scar hums sleepily in response, peeking through the coverings hand to look up at Doc. "Morning." He breathes, a small grin spreading across his face. He closes his eyes again and cuddles up closer to Doc.
Doc holds him close. "Are you feeling better?" He says as he puts his hand to Scar’s forehead. “Not really, I think the medication just made things worse." Scar mumbles into Doc's neck. Doc sighs.
"Do you want some more tea?" Doc asks. "Mm yes please." Scar replies, opening his eyes again and giving Doc another sleepy smile. Doc leans forward, pressing a kiss to Scar's lips before standing from the bed. “Alright love, I’ll make us both some tea. You stay here ok, I'll be right back.” Doc says as he goes to the kitchen and makes tea. Scar nods his head and pulls the covers higher, wrapping his arms around his knees. He stares into space absentmindedly.
When Doc returns, he hands Scar the steaming mug of tea, Scar accepts the mug with his cold hands. "Thanks babe." He murmurs while blowing on the hot liquid before taking a sip.
Doc sits cross legged next to Scar and sips his own mug of tea. The quiet atmosphere between them is comfortable and comforting, they enjoy each others company, listening to the birds chirping in the yard outside. Eventually though, Scar decides it's time to break the quiet. "Hey Doc..? Aren't you going to get sick from laying with me?" Scar asks. Doc laughs lightly. "No I'll be perfectly healthy, trust me." He assures Scar. Scar looks at him with worry written all over his face. Doc laughs.
"Scar. Creeper's have better immune systems than Vex's. Also im half robot baby." Doc smiles. "I rarely get sick love." Doc brushes hair out of Scar's face.
"Ok... but what if you do?" Scar asks hesitantly. "Well that would be unfortunate." He smirks, gently running his fingers through Scar's hair. “Don't worry, it happens to everyone, especially when someone loves you as much as I love you..." he trails off trailing his fingers down to cup Scar's cheek, bringing their faces inches apart. “....and you're worth every bit of sickness I suffer through for.”
Scar blushes furiously. He wraps his arms tightly around Doc and holds him as tight as he can.
He buries his head into the crook of Doc's neck. “I love you.” He mumbles, his face buried into the fabric of Doc’s shirt.
“And I love you my darling, I always will.” Doc whispers gently. He runs his thumb gently along the curve of Scar’s jaw, feeling how flushed Scar’s cheeks were. He lifts up Scar’s chin and tilts his head up to meet his eyes, leaning in and giving him the most gentle and loving kiss he can manage. When he pulls away he rests his forehead against Scar’s. “My dear brave, brilliant man.” He kisses him again, this time lingering longer. They lean into each other, sharing a deep tender kiss. Scar pulls back abruptly, breaking contact with Doc. His face is flushed, he averts his gaze shyly. Doc chuckles.
"You hungry?" Doc asks. Scar nods. “I’ll put some toast in the toaster. Wait here." He says as he leaves the room, leaving Scar alone in the big bed. Scar watches Doc leave the room and lets out a shaky breath before burying his face in his palms, covering his flushed face.
He stays like that, unable to stop the blush from spreading on his cheeks. Doc is the only person who can make Scar feel like this. The only one who ever touches him in the sweetest way possible. He is so happy he started dating Doc. Sure, the man is slightly scary and has an intimidating glare, but deep inside, he knows he isn't anything like he thought. Doc treats him with love and care, treats him like he is worthy of everything, treats him right.
Scar's thoughts get cut off by the door opening.
"I'm back with your favorite~" Doc smiles as he holds a plate of pancakes and diced potatoes.
Scar looks up at him and smiles back, his cheeks flushing red again. He reaches for the plate, when he takes it he starts eating. Scar loves Doc's cooking.
Doc settles down beside Scar again. A fond smile spread across his face as he watches Scar eat. "How are you feeling?" He finally breaks the silence.
Scar shrugs. "Still stuffy and a sore throat."
"It's alright darling. You can take another day or two if you need to rest more." Doc smiles more.
Scar grins and finishes his food.
They sit in silence for about 10 minutes before Scar breaks it.
"Doc. Our anniversary is next week" Scar mutters.
Doc grins. "Our 4 year anniversary." Doc whispers with a lovestruck look on his face.
Scar puts his plate on the nightstand and scoots closer to Doc. He places a hand over his chest and rubs soothing circles there, causing Doc to let out a soft hum and press a short kiss to Scar's head.
"Yeah...our 4 year anniversary." Scar repeats quietly, a small smile forming on his face. "What do we do for it?" He asks curiously.
"If you're feeling better by then, I'm taking you out for dinner~" Doc smiles.
Scar giggles. "Sounds perfect, thank you for making breakfast too."
"Of course darling!"
A few days later Scar has managed to recover enough that he feels comfortable enough to go outside. He heads downstairs where he sees Doc sitting at the table eating eggs and bacon.
"Morning Doc" Scar smiles.
Doc turns his head and smiles back. "Morning sunshine. You feeling better?" Doc asks.
"Yes, I am feeling much better" Scar replies as he sits on Doc's lap and kisses his cheek. "Thank you." He says softly as he hugs Doc close. "Anytime love." Doc says as he strokes the back of Scar's head. He kisses Scar's temple and continues eating his breakfast.
Scar takes a piece of bacon and giggles as he eats it.
"Heyyy thats my bacon!" Doc complains playfully.
"It's mine now." Scar responds as he eats more bacon.
"You're such a baby" Doc pouts, looking amused.
Scar sticks his tongue out at him playfully.
Doc cups Scar's face and presses a soft kiss on his lips.
Scar happily returns the kiss.
"I love you Doc" Scar whispers.
"Love you too, Scar." Doc smiles more as he stands up while holding Scar.
Scar wraps his arms around Doc's shoulders and rests his head on his shoulder.
"So what should we do today?" Doc asks.
"Can we go outside?" Scar asks.
"Yeah. We can definitely do that." Doc agrees. He carries Scar through the hallway to the porch. He places Scar gently on his feet, before stepping back to admire Scar admiring the flowers in the front yard. Doc chuckles, walking forward and sitting next to him.
"They're so beautiful." Scar says with a smile.
Doc smiles back. "You're much more beautiful then the flowers." Doc whispers.
Scar gives him a soft smile. "You're so cheesy." Scar murmurs as he kisses Doc on the nose and snuggles into his side. Doc wraps his arms around Scar protectively and rubs his back softly.
They fall silent again and watch the flowers, watching the sunlight shimmer off of the water below.
"Hey Scar..?" Doc murmurs suddenly.
"Hmm?" Scar answers, still staring at the flowers.
"I wanted to wait for...our anniversary but there couldn't be a better moment than now...to ask." Doc starts.
Scar looks up at Doc confused. "Ask what?" Scar questions softly.
"Will you marry me?" Doc blurts out quickly as he pulls a ring out of his pocket.
Scar's heart skips a beat. "What?" He gapes in shock and disbelief.
"I know! It's a lot but... please, please say yes." Doc pleads, nervously biting his lip.
Scar doesn't reply. Instead he jumps up slightly and embraces Doc, kissing him deeply. Doc sighs softly, wrapping his arms tightly around Scar's waist. The kiss grows deeper and warmer, until they pull away breathlessly.
"Yes." Scar gasps out. "I will marry you Doc! I've been waiting so long!" Scar kisses Doc again. Doc holds Scar's waist softly.
"Really? For real?!" He asks excitedly.
Scar laughs. "For real Doc! Oh my god..." Scar leans forward again and captures Doc's lips once more, smiling into the kiss.
When they break the kiss they both start laughing and smiling uncontrollably.
They end up falling onto the ground laughing together.
"I love you so much" Scar says softly.
"I love you too Scar." Doc replies
