#Crocus was there as primary care of course but Shanks stayed with him to help tend

How would shanks take care of his lover who got sick? Do you think he would be clueless or bad at it lol I think he would be worried about you though

Oh I don't think he's clueless or bad at it, I think he mostly plays up being a lil flighty and silly for laughs and the comfort of his friends and whatnot c:

That being said, it depends on the severity of the sicks? If you wake up and its obvious you have a cold and you're feeling crappy, Shanks is shuffling around your duties for the next few days and keeping you comfortable, making sure you have plenty of water and hot tea and soup whenever you want it. He's very doting in general, I think he takes great pains to be with you as much as possible, keeping a cool cloth on your head, helping you with things and the like.

Honestly he ends up sick more often than not when you do because he will not stop giving you kisses and cuddling your face in against his to comfort you.

If it seems more severe, or you have a fever that won't break, or you're in pain of some sort, he would likely bring Hongo in on it, and defer to his medical expertise, although he still hovers around you and makes his own checks of you while that's going on.

At the end of the day, Shanks is both a deeply competent man who is in love with you, and a Yonko with extensive reach, wealth, and influence, so whatever you ended up needing, from bedrest to surgery, he would make that the crew's priority until you were declared safe and on the mend, and be incredibly supportive and gentle with you the whole time.
