WebMD for Demons (Bosco x Jasmine) - Babycarrot

A/N: Hi! Longtime lurker here submitting my first ever fic. I based this on 2018fordfocus’s fic “*googles how to uncommon a demon*” on AO3, I don’t know them but I love the concept of the fic so so much I just had to write my own continuation of the storyline in the form of a sickfic haha. Hope you enjoy it!

Bosco woke up with Jasmine still fast asleep next to them as per usual. She had pulled all the blankets over herself so that Bosco had none. They didn’t care of course, demons don’t get cold anyways and the morning air was refreshing on their bare legs.

The smell of bacon and eggs usually would’ve woken Jasmine up by the time Bosco was done cooking but she had had a long night and Bosco decided it was best to let her rest while they scrolled through social media.

Eventually Bosco decided to go wake their girlfriend since her breakfast was starting to get cold. They tiptoed into the bedroom and found Jasmine in the exact same position they had seen her in when they woke up. Bosco slowly peeled back the many layers of blankets to find that Jasmine still hadn’t woken up from the cool air on her skin.

Bosco very gently shook their sleeping girlfriend who groaned in response and pulled the blankets back over her head.

“C’mon sleepyhead, your breakfast is gonna get cold,” Bosco nudged.

“Not hungry,” Jasmine mumbled from under the covers.

Bosco furrowed their oddly-shaped brows, “you’re always hungry….” they trailed off as Jasmine started whimpering, and they rubbed her shoulders.

“What’s wrong baby?” Bosco felt their heart tug at the sounds Jasmine was making.

“I feel terrible” Jasmine responded,

Bosco was confused, “about what” they asked.

Jasmine rubbed her eyes, seeming to finally be fully awake. “Ugh you demons are so lucky, you have no idea what it’s even like to be sick do you bitch?.”

“Huh”

“I feel hot and cold at the same time and I’m tired and everything just hurts, you feel other things too, it's not a great thing about being human but-”

“WHAT?!” “Why is that a thing, how do you fix it?!”

Jasmine whined a bit as Bosco’s loud voice pierced through her skull, “you usually don't, you just have to rest and take medicine until it goes away.”

Bosco was freaking out a bit, “uhh I might have a book with some healing spells in it” they said frantically.

Jasmine gripped Bosco’s hand before they could get out of bed and look for a spellbook, “no magic…” she said weakly in a hoarse voice as she felt a wave of dizziness pull her further into her tired state.

Bosco pouted, feeling useless when it came to helping their girlfriend to feel better. All they knew was magic, they were still getting used to life on earth and the responsibilities that came with being human.

Sensing Bosco’s inner conflict, Jasmine kissed their hand and looked up from her pillows to make eye contact.

Bosco ran a hand through Jasmine’s blonde hair, “is there anything I can do to help?”

“Just…hold me” Jasmine’s eyelashes fluttered close at the touch, drifting back to sleep in Bosco’s embrace.

~~~

Jasmine rolled over and nuzzled her face into Bosco’s chest about an hour after falling asleep in Bosco’s arms.

“Hi baby” Bosco stroked Jasmine’s damp, messy hair. “you feeling any better?” Jasmine responded with a groan which Bosco could only assume meant no.

“I know I’m not great with temperatures but I’m pretty sure your face feels hotter than normal.” They were confused and concerned about how Jasmine felt so hot in their arms but continued to shiver under her mountain of blankets.

Jasmine sighed, “there’s probably a thermometer in the bathroom.”

Bosco nodded, figuring out what a thermometer was from the context. They kissed Jasmine on the head and left to search for said object.

Bosco felt oddly guilty when Jasmine took her own temperature. They wished they were more knowledgeable about humans so they could actually help Jasmine feel better. They wished Jasmine would let them heal her with magic, but they had made a promise and they were going to respect Jasmine’s policy. Even if it meant that they had to endure watching Jasmine look so miserable, they were a demon of their word.

An annoyed huff broke Bosco from their thinking. Jasmine was squinting her eyes at the small device in front of her, unable to see the small numbers without her glasses. Bosco gently took the thermometer from her and announced “101.4℉.”

“What does it mean?” They really did need to learn more about humans.

“Humans are supposed to be 97℉ to 99℉, any higher means something’s wrong.”

Bosco frowned deeply, once again feeling useless and guilty. “Poor Jasmine, she deserves someone who can take care of her, someone who knows what to do….”

Bosco lost their train of thought when they realized Jasmine had fallen back asleep. Their heart warmed at the sight and they decided they would do the damn best they could to help the girl they had fallen in love with.

~~~

Jasmine woke up for the third time that day. Bosco smiled at her and replaced the cool cloth they had placed onto Jasmine’s forehead. She sighed into the sensation and closed her eyes, she had started feeling warm from all the blankets insulating her body temperature.

Jasmine wriggled free of the blanket burrito that was tightly wrapped around her as a result of the tossing and turning in her sleep. Bosco helped her to sit up and placed a kiss on her cheek.

“Morning baby” they said with air quotes on the word ‘morning’ as it was 2:43pm. “Do you think you can eat some toast or soup? You really need to take some of this medicine but not on an empty stomach.”

Jasmine couldn’t help but smile at the care and love in Bosco’s words. She hoped they would just attribute the bright pink blush to her fever and not her heart exploding with love for the demon. Jasmine was so distracted by her foggy brain processing emotions that she forgot to answer the question.

She nodded weakly and gave an almost whispered “I love you” to her partner.

Bosco frowned at how hoarse Jasmine’s voice sounded. “I know this is gonna be almost impossible for you but try not to talk too much, you need to rest your voice.” They smirked at her, hoping their usual bit of teasing would disguise the worry they felt.

Jasmine shoved at them halfheartedly as they got up to bring her some food, fighting off another wave of dizziness immediately afterwards.

They sat together in silence for a few minutes as Jasmine ate and Bosco played with her hair. When she got to the point where she couldn’t stomach anymore, Bosco left briefly and returned with a glass of water and some pills.

Jasmine squinted at the unfamiliar bottle, “where’d this come from?”

“I went to the pharmacy while you were asleep, we were out of some things anyways.”

“But…how did you know this is what I need?” Jasmine asked, taking the pills.

“I…kinda had to google a bunch of stuff about human illnesses.” Bosco blushed and Jasmine smiled, feeling loved and cared for. “Yall have it rough man I’m sorry you have to go through this mess,” they both chuckled. “Oh, that reminds me,” Bosco said, getting up and returning with a thermometer.

‘100.7’ the device read and Bosco felt an odd pride take over them. “That's less” they thought, “that means Jasmine is getting better!”

Bosco no longer felt useless but rather content with their skills at caring for the human they loved so much. Meanwhile, Jasmine could feel the love emanating from Bosco’s care.

“I love you,” she said.

“I love you too, now get some rest baby, I’ll make sure you feel better when you wake up.”
