After your little spill, you were forced to be bedridden for longer than you'd ever have liked. You understand the concern, multiple broken ribs was serious, but still, you had a ranch to run. Especially since before they'd decided to help you, it was just yourself managing everything. 

You at least had gotten them to agree to spending your time in bed in the comfort of your own home, though it had been an uphill battle to say the least. You wouldn't admit either how much the journey killed you either. Too much snow on the ground to utilize a wagon and thus, you were stuck riding with one of your boys instead. 

Now, you're currently lying in bed, staring up at the ceiling with absolutely nothing to do and bored out of your mind. 

Sun and Moon were both busy, and for that you were indeed grateful. They seemed to be doing well taking care of your ranch, the two of them. At least, from the view you could get from your window that is. They always somehow appeared out of nowhere when you tried to get up and go downstairs, much less even consider going outside. 

But, with them being preoccupied, there was little for you to do with your free time. You usually spent all day working, you had no hobbies really, never the time. Until now, that is. 

Moon had provided you his books, but you've already read each of them cover to cover. Twice. 

You're just about tempted to make an attempt for the stairs again when there's a knock on the doorway, Sun's head peeking in the doorway. 

"Hello, Darlin'. How're you feelin'?" He asks, walking over to you and standing at your bedside.

You huff, lifting your hands up and dropping them back against the blankets. "I think you can clearly see how I'm doing, Lone Star."

"Oh." He tuts, sitting down in the nearby chair. "I think you're not truly appreciating the time you have. Won't be easy to get back into it once you're on your feet again."

You shake your head. "You don't know me well if you think I'm not going entirely stir crazy right now. I can't wait until that day comes. Get to boss you around proper."

"That so?" Sun chuckles, taking hold of one of your hands. 

You eye his grip, already sensing that he's up to something. "It is."

He notices your stare, and lifts your hand up. "What? Somethin' the matter?"

"Not quite. Not yet."

He lifts your hand to his lips, pressing a kiss to it. "You're not worried about something, are you? Would you like to talk about it?"

"I think talking is the last thing on your mind right now." You tsk. 

At that, he grins. Another kiss is pressed to your hand. Then your wrist, and he makes his way up your arm, reaching your face soon enough. 

As he goes along, he feigns innocence in his tone. "I'm afraid I don't follow, Sweet Thing. Are you sure there's not anything on your mind? I'm happy to ease your worries, any way you'd like."

"Something tells me you're interested in easing your own worries." You realize his focus is on your lips and scoff. "You're not slick, you know."

He keeps his gaze trained there, smirk still settled on his features. "Maybe not. May I?"

You think it's cute he's asking, considering the fact there's no scenario where you say no. 

"You may."

His lips press to yours then, testing, gentle. But once he realizes—again—that you're not made of glass, he becomes bolder, pressing harsher, eager. 

After several rushed kisses he pulls away to look at you. 

Sun's hand cups your cheek, rubbing his thumb against it. "Truly is a damn shame you're bedridden. I miss our little 'conversations' out in the barn."

You go to answer, but are interrupted by a dark chuckle coming from the doorway. 

Both of you whip to see Moon leaning against it, arms crossed. 

"'Just checkin' in', isn't that what you said, Sun?" Moon questions, tone low. "Make sure they're doing alright, then you'd be right back to help clean stalls?"

Sun doesn't answer, face sheepish as Moon walks over to the other side of the bed, attention now on you.

He sits down beside you, bed sinking in as he does so. "Mornin' love. Sleep well?"

"Just fine." You snicker out, feeling Sun's nerves radiating from where you lie. "And how's your morning goin'?

Moon tsks. "Not too great so far. My hand disappeared on me so I've had to handle chores all on my lonesome."

"I wasn't gone that long..." Sun mutters. 

You ignore him for Moon's sake, instead pouting as you take the blue bot's face into your hands. Just a tad chilly from the outside air. "Oh, you poor thing. And it's cold out there today, isn't it?"

He leans into your touch, purring out his response. "Dreadfully."

"Well, let's see if we can't fix that, Moonshine." You pull him down to your level, kissing him softly, slowly, but deeply. He melts into your touch with a muted chuckle and you hear an irritated noise off to your right. 

You pull away when you're satisfied, Moon has a dazed look in his eyes that makes you giggle. 

"Go get back to work, Lone Star. You've got a minimum of ten stalls to clean out." Moon states through his haze.

Sun sputters. "Ten? That means you only did two!"

"Consider it compensation for lying." Moon says, leaning back in to kiss you again.

Before he can, Sun pushes him away from you, moving so that he's taking up your field of view instead. He kisses you quick, again and again, peppering you with kisses you can hardly return. 

All the sudden, he's yanked away and tossed off the bed and onto the ground. You can only watch in disbelief as the two cowboys get in an all out brawl on the ground. Laughter overtaking you as they bicker back and forth whilst fighting. 

It's killer on your ribs, but damn if it wasn't worth it. 

If you weren't excited to get back on your feet before, you sure as hell are now.
