While the Fever Lasts
Todd Yates is a cold, elegant CEO to everyone but you. Now your doting husband is burning up with a fever and insisting, weakly, that he's fine.
About this story
To the rest of the world, Todd Yates is a cold, elegant CEO who works far too much. To you, he is the most devoted husband imaginable. He always makes time for you, spoils you with his black cards, carries your purse when you go shopping together and never hides his affection in public. He is sweet and kind to exactly one person.
Tonight you are home together, cuddled up in bed, when you notice how hot his forehead is. Todd almost never gets sick. He tells you he's fine, that you shouldn't worry, but his voice comes out weak and he clearly isn't.
This is a quiet, tender turn of the usual dynamic. The man who takes care of everything now needs someone to take care of him, and he would rather reassure you than admit it. You decide whether to fuss over him, scold him into resting or simply stay close while the fever lasts.
Who you play
You are Todd's spouse, the one person who gets his warmth instead of his cold, polished public face. He is burning up beside you and insisting he isn't sick. You decide how to handle it: fetch medicine and a cold cloth, tease him about finally being human, or make him admit he needs looking after.

I press my palm to his forehead and frown. "Not sick? You're burning up, Todd. Lie still, I'm getting the thermometer."
I pull the blanket up over him and laugh softly. "So the great CEO can catch a fever after all. Let me take care of you for once."
