EVEN MORE Tyrrish Headcanons you didn’t ask for (Xaden, Garrick, Bodhi, Imogen, aka the Kitchen Table crew)
AN: Wow I’m just posting everything but a chapter update to ‘Drifted’ aren’t I? Writing about trauma is hard for me, and IDK why i chose to make Cree’s character full of it and pair her with Bodhi who’s…surrounded by it. But, what’s a fanfic without a little author induced torture, right?
ANYWAYs, let’s get into it
Garrick, Imogen, and Bodhi would draw straws on who would have to update Xaden on Violet during her first year before Liam was tasked as her bodyguard. Bodhi never drew the short straw but was always the one who ended up telling Xaden. He carried on the tradition after Garrick and Xaden graduated.
Bodhi is viewed as the little brother of the group for two reasons. One, he always was one step behind Xaden and Garrick and a physical year younger than him. And two, despite everything he's been through, he never let it take away his humanity. Xaden cruelly jokes that Bodhi is the only one in the revolution with a still beating heart
Bodhi only 'broke character' once during his years at Basgiath when someone in his squad used a particular slur when referencing his deceased mother. Garrick and Xaden had to drag him off the cadet and dispose of the body and make a cover up so he didn't get charged with breaking the codex. It was their first trio heist together before the actual weapons operations.
Garrick didn't talk to Imogen the first month of her year at Basgiath because he was ashamed of all the horrible things he'd done in his first year
Every one of them has cried in front of Xaden at least once. Even Imogen, though she was heavily inebriated
Also, everyone has cried in Bodhi's lap. Even Xaden, who was also heavily inebriated.
Xaden didn't want to let Imogen into operations at first due to her unpredictable emotions; Garrick convinced him otherwise. When Imogen thwarted not one but 4 separate attempts on Xadens life, it was one of the first and few times he actually admitted to Garrick that he was right.
When Garrick and Xaden found out that Bodhi lost his virginity to someone at Basgiath the two literally detoured from their weapons operations to find out who it was like the protective and nosy older brothers that they are.
Imogen snorts when she laughs. She rarely laughs as deeply as she used to so when it does slip out, it instantly makes everyone feel like they aren't in a active war and that they're back home in Aretia.
Bodhi, Xaden and Garrick have all had sexual relationships with Fliers/Poromish people. Imgoen has not and refuses to out of what she calls 'pride and respect for dragons.'
I think all Tyrrish folk are pretty open and fluid about their sex lives until they find their person. Much like fated couples or mates, its Tyrrish tradition to find 'your person'.
I think they all marry for love only and Xaden's family dynamics are the outlier. Though I think Fen's 'person' was Tyrrendor the country verses Xaden's mother.
Because of this, Xaden grew up with a warped perception of romance and relationships. Also, he's fluent in all Tyrrish history and customs. He knew and spoke Tyrrish before the common language, and learning the common language was very difficult for him.
Also, Imogen is Garrick's person, 100%.
Xaden got his ego, wit and charisma from his father but his aunt, Bodhi's mother, taught him a lot about actual charm.
It was actually his aunt who, upon finding out that then 13 year old Xaden ghosted his girlfriend, made him go the the gardens and pick fresh flowers and hand deliver them to the girl's house with a handwritten apology declaring his 'boyish stupidity'.
Before the unification, if someone finds their person and they choose to marry, the couple would create a rune specific to the joining of their love/family house. Xaden giving Violet a book on weaving textiles was NO coincidence.
Tyrrish weddings are fun as shit (Why yes, there is one in 'Drifted'). In fact, there is a 'Cardulo Clause' that states that any wedding guest who drinks beyond their fare share at a wedding ceremony most pay a balance to the respective wedding partners. This came in part due to Imogen's great, great grandfather who, legend says, drank an entire keg to themselves during a wedding.
Okay now I'm actually going to go back and write 'Drifted'.

A Tyrrish Men Headcanon you didn’t ask for - smoochies has returned
Lolol I’m back.
Prompt: smoochies with the Marked Ones
Garrick:
Smooch spot: the jaw
He loves a good kiss on the lips and then kissing his way across your jaw
This man also likes to pull you in for a kiss with hands lacing behind your neck and his thumbs on your jaw
His kisses are passionate
When you two are flirting or he’s just showing off it’s short little cutesy kisses, but when your in the depths of your love for eachother he’s grabbing hold and not letting go
He is know for kissing you and “walking” at the same time so if you close your eyes kissing him and opening them up to a different space, get used to it
It’s also his room or some secluded place
Bodhi
Smooch spot: the cheeks
Idk he’s sweet like that
If your sitting he’s walking up behind you, kissing your cheek before you sit down
When you hug, he’s putting a little kiss on your cheek before letting you go
He likes to cup your face in his hands, thumbs caressing your cheeks
He may even pinch your cheeks a bit and kiss them too
Knowing that hes always the one breaking up arguments between Xaden and Garrick he is known to help calm you down with a kiss to the cheek. Like if you’re heated after a fight he just comes up and wraps his arms around you like “hey, easy.” And one little kiss and you’re like “alright I’m calm get off me” lolol
Xaden
Smooch spot: forehead
Give this man a forehead with a beautiful brain behind it and he’s smooching
He loves a little kiss right in the spot of your forehead and hairline
One because he’s tall and if you’re not tall the forehead is the go to spot for an easy quick kiss
And he does think your smart and brilliant so the spot is meaningful too
He loves to put his thumb and index finger on your chin and lift up your head, kissing you on the lips and then finishing with a kiss on your forehead
Ok but who do you want Tyrrish smoochies from?? Tell me in the comments!

Bed days with Bodhi
You wake up to a sculpted body of dark tawny skin and the most beautiful pair of brown eyes staring at you. A smile etching his face as he takes you in. Gods, what a sight. You will never take his stares for granted.
He leans over and kisses your lips; tender and soft, as if he was waiting since dawn to kiss you. Taking the lead he gathers you in your arms, pulling you close and across his bare chest, letting you rest on top of him.
“Morning.” He hums.
“What time is it?” You murmur into his chest with sleep still on your voice.
“A little after 8”
You lift up your head, “8? Fuck we need to get up. We missed formation.”
“And yet the day continues.” He muses.
“You can get off the hook, you’re a third year. And your cousin owning the place we’re staying also helps. Me? I’m-“
He holds you close to him, keeping you in bed , “you’re my girlfriend. So you’re fine. And Xaden likes you-well, tolerates you. He doesn’t really like anyone except Sgaeyl and Violet.”
You chuckle, “No harm taken.”
“He probably tolerates you more than me and Garrick to be honest-“
“That’s not true.”
Both your heads snap up and look towards the other side of the room, eyeing Garrick who was leaning against the door.
“How did you-“
“You’ve got to reenforce your wards better Bodhi.” Garrick chastises with a smile, “I came to check in on you, concerned for your well-being and what do I see? You two in bed with an oh so obvious morning glow. Did you get any sleep?”
You flop your head back on to your pillow, ignoring the red hue to Bodhis face, “Garrick if you’re going to yell at us can you just do it in bed? I’d love to go back to sleep.”
You almost yelp as you feel the bed divot as Garrick does just that, walk across the room and climb into bed.
Bodhis jaw nearly drops open, “Get out!”
“Cmon!” He smirks, “it’s just like when we were kids.”
You laugh, closing your eyes, “just try not to snore.”
But of course he does. But no matter, all three of you end up falling back to sleep. The revolution wearing on you all. But in this moment, you pressed against Bodhi and cuddled in his arms, with Garrick sleeping on your side, all feels right and exactly as it should.
You stay asleep while Imogen comes into the room, ready to scowl at someone, but instead lays down at the end of the bed, eager to catch a few minutes of sleep. None of you notice the shadows creeping in to the room, slowly caressing all of you before settling back under the crack of the door.

Idk what’s going on in my mind but here’s Garrick.
Garrick pulls you into his chest and you find it hard to resist. He’s easily twice as strong as you are, yet the moment you press against his chest his arms envelop you in a softness that contradicts his hardened muscle. How could a man so strong, steadfast and unbreakable be so soft with you?
Hes seated in a chair, you standing between his spread thighs. He’s so tall even sitting down he’s at the perfect angle where he only needs to crane his neck up slightly to kiss your lips and jaw. His arms caress you. One hand against your lower back, the other along your jaw and neck. He’s so warm.
A gasp escapes your lips as he kisses down the front of your neck; you’ve been taught to never let another cadet this close to your throat, but for him, you’d give him everything.
“This alright?” The warmth of his breath on your setting your senses ablaze. “You can tell me when to stop.” Strong, breathtakingly beautiful, and consensual? You could have fallen for him right there.
“Don’t.” You breathe in reply, “dont stop. kiss me harder, please.”
He chuckles, his lips still pressed to your neck. His hands travel down to your waist, lifting each leg gently to straddle his thighs, “as you command.”

idea for a tyrrish men head canon: our boys see their SO crying and don’t know why. what do they do?
Lolol as someone who has been holding it down in the sad gals club I will happily indulge in this.
Garrick
This idiot
Lolol but I adore him
He wouldn’t have any clue you were crying at first. He’d literally walk in, sit down and start chatting and not pick up on it at first
Hes like, “So I told him he could kiss my, wait are you crying??”
Now you’ve got his attention.
Hands on your face, thumbs wiping away tears
Internally he’s losing it. Trying to run through the catalog in his mind to pin point what moment may have made you cry
If that doesn’t work he’s pulling you to his chest in a protective hug, letting you cry on him
After a few minutes he’ll try asking you what happened, but in a Garrick way
“Who do I need to hurt?”
If you gave him any name he’d take care of it.
If it’s something like training, he’s tutoring you. Even if it’s classes, he will find someone to help
He’ll check in on you after, but will probably ask other people to do it. Usually it’s Bodhi.
The thing with Garrick is, I think raw emotions like that scare him. He’s an impenetrable force of a a man but deep down I think he keeps a lot of emotions locked up. The apostasy or his first night fostering was the last time he cried. So when he catches you crying in front of him he gets scared, and then laces humor over it. He doesn’t know how to help, but he’s Garrick so he finds a way
Someone just hug him
Bodhi
He’ll never wear it but get this man a crown and a throne. King he is
Bodhi not only knows you’re crying but he takes steps to help you ground yourself
If you’re getting teary eyed in the halls he’ll step in front of you, his tall frame shielding you from everyone. “I got you.” He murmurs, “take the time you need.”
If you’re with others and he sees you sniffle he’s finding a way to shuffle everyone out of the room or out of your space so you can have a few minutes. He’ll always ask “can I sit with you, do you need me?”
He gives the most nurturing hugs. You could tell he was raised with love in how he takes care of you. He won’t assume he knows what’s wrong or that you have to tell him
He will say “can I ask what happened?” Or “can you tell me what’s going on?” “Can I help?”
Though if someone hurt you, it’s not really a questions he’ll take care of it
Xaden
I do not think Xaden would ever not know why you were crying. He’d be too scared for your well being not to use his signet to find out
He cannot help himself
But say he’s does find you crying and it’s in a public place he’s dropping the whole room in shadows and walking towards you. People may be screaming in the darkness but he’s got you. “You okay?” You hear his voice but feel his hands and arms around you
If someone made you cry
Oooof
Hr won’t say anything at first but a few days later he’s like “seems like our problem had been taken care of”. He’s sweet to say that your feels are his. However, You know what he means when he speaks cryptically like that
“Xaden! What did you do?”
“Me? I didn’t do anything.”
“And if I ask him what happened?”
“Doubt he’d be able to say much. Such a shame he fell during patrol. That’s why I tell you to stay way from those open alcoves. You never know what can happen when you’re not careful.”

Tyrrish Men Headcanon you didn’t ask for - things that make them go 👀
A random Headcanon about the things you so that make them go “omg I love them”
Xaden
👀 - hair down. We know this from the books but it’s not just having the hair down, it’s taking it out in front of him and letting fall down your shoulders and back
And if your hair is in braids or twists, when they all just flow freely down your back he’s smitten
If you got big textured hair, wear that natural and let those curls and coils out, he will just fall on his knees in front of you
Short hair or no hair? No problem, just pull his and he’s equally as 👀 lolol
Bonus 👀 - when he gets that duchy call him your grace or his full noble name and it’s over
Bodhi
👀- public affirmation
Affirm this man
And he’s yours
It’s not a simple “good job” or “your so great”z it’s seeing and recognizing him.
Its “we’re going with Bodhis plan, he’s the smartest of us anyways” or a personal compliment “Bodhi you were amazing during practice today”
Even if you walk into a room and see Bodhi Xaden and Garrick but you say “Hey Bodhi” first
Bodhis always lived in the shadows, raised as the spare and a step behind everyone
But when you put him to the front of the line, he’s smitten
And if your praise him privacy..
Bonus 👀 - give him control. He’s in charge
Garrick
👀- bending over
I mean if you moved he would be all attention but it’s the act of bending over and letting him get a view of that peach
And if you’re wearing your flight leathers and your bum is clearly defined in the fabric
He’s doing everting he can to stand next to you
Just pretend to drop something and bend down to get it and this man will be smitten
Don’t wear shorts around him
He may be cheeky enough to try to grab or pinch at you but if you smack his hand away he’ll respect the boundary of course
He will also love the challenge of trying to get you to let him one day
Bonus 👀 - tell him he’s been good. Just do it

Life With The Marked Ones
Prompt: Bed Day
"Where the hell is Xaden?" Garrick questioned from the wooden table in the kitchens of Riorson House. "He got back last night, didn't he?" "You dont remember?" Bodhi raised a brow, "Its bed day." "Fuck, you're right."
Okay my friends what is bed day? Let me tell you. Being in a relationship with a Duke of Tyrrendor, former lieutenant, former former leader of The Second Rebellion and keeper of the 107 Marked Children of the Apostacy, you've come to the realization that Xaden, whether he likes it or not, has to be everywhere at once. And, you suspect this wants of being in control don't help the matters. So, when he returns from long missions across the border, he's exhausted, but stubborn. So, you made a rule.
Bed Day.
The moment he comes back from any mission that is more than one night, he's on bed rest. The moment his body hits the bed, he's got to stay there for an entire day. Even if he's too tired to undress or shower, who cares. You'll change the sheets after (though, boots must be off prior to bed day, you learned the hard way how absolutely disgusting riders boots are). No clothes are also a welcomed option as well.
Food? You've got it taken care of. You're the only one allowed out of the bed to gather the necessary supplies like food, water, cake (if he's been a good boy, of course). On occasion, churam may be permitted on special occasions or if agreed upon by both parties prior to the said bed day.
Bathroom breaks are a sole exception to a leave of bed day. And yes you will be watching as this shadow creature does try to sneak from the washroom towards his desk to do work. Rest is the work, Riorson. And rest can mean many things right, a good night's sleep, a nice meal...moderate exercise, you are very flexible to whatever Xaden needs to feel whole again.
However, no weapons allowed in bed. You learned that the hard way when you were awoken to daggers being sharpened on your lap.
And as much as this man protests the idea of actually standing still, taking care, and getting some rest, he secretly loves it. And loves you in the process.
Do you have any rules for Xaden in regards to bed day? Add them in the repost or comments.

At work just thinking about how
Garrick would 100% be that coworker who would get everything done from 9am-10am and just BS and hangout at peoples desks (literally sitting on their desk)
Xaden would have his office door closed at all times and never leave unless the rare bathroom break / snack grab. And his calendar would be blocked all day and I just know he has no real meetings planned. Emails would have no subject line
Bodhi would take on all projects and be the nicest person to work with, make the most beautiful presentation decks and have personalized greetings for everyone
Imogen would wear her coat all day so she could quickly get up at 5pm to leave. Would probably be the person everyone was afraid of but shit would get done if she was in charge of a product.
Liam would still have happy intern energy even if it was his 5th year of employment

Another Sleepy Tyrrish Men Headcanon
I should be sleeping but instead here’s Garrick
How does he sleep? It’s the letter X, yall. He’s sprawled out taking all the space. At Basgiath he was crammed in small beds that didn’t fit his frame so if he’s back in Aretia, he’s got his body taking up all the bed space.
Any pillows? One. A single pillow is all he needs. When you stay over and ask for a pillow he’s going to be cheeky and say “I’ll be your pillow.” But he’s also serious, he only has one pillow…
But he’s Garrick and always has a plan to take care of everyone so once he finds out how awkward it was to have you over with no spare pillow he secures one for you
How many blankets? Just one. A semi thick blanket. But bonus points is that it’s big. The Tavis family were all tall so his family blanket in his room is so big you both can easily share without fighting for warmth.
Does he snore? Oh yeah. Lumberjack Garrick is sawing logs over there. Xaden makes mention that Garrick runs his mouth even in his sleep. Yes, It’s loud but it’s like, cute lolol. If you give him a little nudge to roll over on his stomach he’ll stop.
He makes you a pair of earrings that have noise canceling runes on them, because he’s Garrick
Nightmares? Yes. More on that below
Cuddler? He’s grabbing you up and tossing you on the bed and grabbing you again once he gets under the covers. He loves to fall asleep with you held close, preferably with your face against his chest. Though, after he’s asleep he rolls off if you and sprawls out on the bed.
Goodnight kiss? Yes.long, slow, intimate as hell and you two usually find yourselves….a bit more active before sleeping due to that level of loving
Is he waking up for late night smoochies? Yes sir. Though I’d like to imagine the nightmares wake him up and he’s so scared and startled he can’t go back to sleep right away. But, he sees you next to him and starts cuddling you again, kissing your shoulders, back, neck, face, wherever.
Is he a shameless flirt who wants to love on you every moment of the day? Yes. Is he also a man with trauma that wants to be comforted but is too prideful to ask for help so he just wants your touch to ground him and intimacy is the only way he thinks he can do that? Also, yes.

It’s a cold night and I’m thinking about
Bodhis room in Aretia has a fireplace but he rarely uses it as open flames can sometimes trigger memories of the rebellion and his parents but when you ask to stay over one night he’s riddled with stress about lighting the fireplace. Instead you show up at his door with a large quilt that is imbued with warming runes so you both can stay warm.
Garrick going the extra mile at Basgiath to pull his bed away from the window so you you aren’t next to the cold when you stay over. Garrick also has created a rather comfy pile of furs and blankets on the floor on occasion so you both can sleep together more comfortably
Xaden lets you layer up in his clothes before bed. He thinks it’s hot when you are wearing his clothes. But to him it’s not because “you’re his”, rather this gesture gives him confidence to say that “he’s yours”

marriage proposals from our fave tyrrish men? 😍
Oh, this is a good one.
Who would plan it out: Liam. He’d actually have a romantic evening or something staged planned. He’d probably take you to a special place or somewhere that is meaningful to you both. The rings are wooden and have special carvings on them. He’s tearing up while proposing to you. Like has to pause with a little, “sorry” while he’s proclaiming his love for you
Who’s impulsively proposing: Garrick. Probably Bodhi too. Garrick is probably proposing right before a battle. It’s still romantic he just looks you in the eye and is like “if I die, I want to die as your husband, your beloved so my soul will be connected to yours and I’ll wait with Malek when it’s time to join me” and he’s marrying you right then and there. If you’re on Tyrrendor territory He’s grabbing Xaden and is like , “you’re the king, marry us now.” To ensure it’s official. Like the battle is delayed because you two are getting married
Bodhi on the other hand would have a whole plan to propose like Liam but he gets too eager and just wants to do it now. He loves you why wait. One morning you’re laying in bed and you feel his hand over yours and then you look down and the most beautiful ring is on your finger. It was his mother’s, he hid away her jewelry during the battle of Aretia by her request, thinking it would be for a short while until they were reunited, but they never were. When you start to grasp the significance he tells you “she would have wanted you to wear it, demanded it actually. She would have loved you…” and now you’re just crying. You get married at the temple of Amari, his mother’s favorite place. And if you’re not from Tyrrendor, he’s the type of guy to recite his vows in your native language, even if it’s a rare one.
Who just assumes you’re already married: Xaden. Like he saw you and was like “yepp they’re the one.” Lolol. He literally does everything someone who is married would do, anniversaries, lavish gifts, and you have access to everything of his. It’s been years since you two got together and one day you’re like “are you ever going to propose?” And he’s just staring at you for a second before he’s like “why? am I not already your husband?” Takes him a minute but immediately he’s getting up, walking to his family chest and pulling out a drawer with rings and is like “pick one. And if you don’t like these I’ll make you one. When should the ceremony be?”

Tyrrish Men Headcanon you didn’t ask for
Sick in bed
I wrote this for myself I’m going through it lolol
Garrick:
He’s got the sick bowl for you. And he’s so sweet about it
He just brings it to bed with some soup, kisses your forehead and lets you be
He will try to humor you by being a little flirt and charming
Will probably say something like “you’re just doing this to skip formation?”
But he knows you need rest and takes it seriously
Will offer to let you have the bed to yourself at night and will sleep somewhere else in the room so you can fully get better
Bodhi
Everyone move
Bodhi is here
He had your medicine schedule and keeps you hydrated at all times
Will help you get up, shower, help you change clothes and get you back into bed
And will be so soft and gentle with you
Even if you throw up in front of him, he does not care
Will literally rub your back and go get you some water
And, he’s sneaking you in sweets to have throughout the day
Xaden
He’s giving you his full attention
No matter how sick you get he’s there for you
He’s also good at getting people to help you rest or bringing in people to cheer you up and help take care of you
He brings all the good sick stuff for you
Yes medicine, water, and food and drinks
But he has your favorite book, comfy clothes, warm blankets, knows if you want the blinds open or closed
He’s giving you kisses throughout the day, little forehead ones or kissing your cheek or hair
He also has no problem advocating on your behalf if you need more time to rest
Will probably read to you in bed
Which one do you want to take care of you if you’re sick? Tell me in the comments

Taking Care with the Marked Ones
For the ever so talented @callsign-rogueone. Wishing you strength and healing, feel better soon!
Garrick usually walked with a strong stride. It wasn't a run, per say, but he had long legs so anytime he was in motion, most of his squad would complain they'd have to run to keep up. He always liked walking with Bodhi and Xaden. They always had a little pep in their step and took the importance of going from place to place with speed and not lollygagging along.
But now, Garrick was running. Leaving everyone behind.
What else are you supposed to do when a kid comes running in to the kitchens screaming about a venin.
Luckily, Garrick new Riorson House like the back of his hand, so it took him no time to run through the halls, turn through the corners and jump a few steps on his dash down to the front doors and out to the open courtyard.
Standing amongst a crowd of wailing children was a the supposed venin in question, hunched over. Oh, it was on. Yet, right before Garrick could arch his hand back and put his signet to work, the figure turned around, startled.
Garrick immediately jumped backwards, losing his footing and falling onto his backside. Once the bewilderment passed he found himself holding back a laugh.
The 'venin' in question was you. An incredibly sick, congested, and feverish you.
"I told you!" The girl, Julianne, who sounded the alarm shouted as she made her way out to the courtyard, her small, relic bound hand pointed forwards, "She turned into a venin."
"I what?!" You shouted.
Julianne wasn't having any of it. Her fingers tightened into fists in preparation for a fight, yet before her small body could move forward Garrick hoisted her back by the back of her shirt collar and sat her down on the stone floor next to him.
"Easy easy." He chided, "I think we have a case of mistaken identity here. But, your most heroic rider is here to save the day."
Garrick slowly began to rise, striding towards you with a cocky grin.
"Garrick," You warned, taking a step backwards, "What in Dunne's name is going on?"
"Remember when I told you that you should've taken it easy last week when you started to feel sick and you called me a, and I quote, "overprotective weirdo'?"
You huffed, not before a few coughs escaped your lips, "I'm fine. Stop babying me."
"You're eyes are literally red. Now, play along."
"Play along with what-"
Garrick suddenly grabbed your arm, spinning you around as if the two of you were in a dance, "Fear not, innocent children, I'll save you from this devious fiend." He bellowed heroically. With ease he lifted you up and hoisted you over his shoulder, much to your protests.
"Garrick! Put me down right now!" Your voice barely audible over the cheers of the children.
"Quiet foul creature." He spoke with a laugh while walking back towards Riorson House.
"My hero." Julianne swooned while pressing her hands to her cheeks.
Now, lets be clear you did not give up the fight that easily. Throughout the entire, embarrassing walk through Riorson House and up to Garricks room you kicked, thrashed, and few a few expletives here and there. It made it even worse that they had no effect on your captor, who found the situation rather funny while he layered on the embarrassment by telling every cadet walking by, "Out of my way, precious cargo coming through."
By the time you made it to his room you were dumped onto his bed with a bounce while he walked into the private bathing chambers without a word.
"Hey!" You called after him as you fought against blankets into find yourself in a sitting position.
Garrick returned to the room with a towel over his shoulder, tossing it gently in your direction, "Okay, water is running. Once your bath is done you're back in bed until I say so."
"You can't just order me around! I'm not in your chain of command."
"But you're in my room." He smirked while raising an eyebrow, "My bed even."
"Against my will! I am not sick, I'm-" you paused momentarily to inhale a dribble of snot that escaped your nose, "Fine!"
"That shouldn't be attractive." Garrick mumbled while walking towards you. "Look, you've been nonstop since we got here weeks ago. Patrol, class, looking after Julianne and the other kids, driving me up a wall. So now, you're going to let us take care of you. And as a lieutenant and someone who is absolutely in your chain of command, I'm ordering you to feel better."
You couldn't help but stare into Garrick's hazel eyes, but he had that determined, yet somehow cheeky look where you knew you were not going to get yourself out of this. He was Xaden's right hand. Power ranking aside, if Garrick had to deal with Riorson on the regular, who knew what level of patience and stubbornness he had stored within in him to subdue you. With a raspy sigh you folded, grabbing the towel and rising to your feet.
"Good girl." He smiled, "Though I wouldn't have minded having to carry you into the tub."
"In your dreams, Tavis." You huffed while walking past him.
You had to admit, a hot bath was much needed for your aching muscles. You didn't know how long you had stayed in the tub, but once the water cooled off you slowly rose from the waters and sheepishly made your way back to Garrick's room. Waiting for you at the side of the bed were a pair of your clothes, a tray of food, and a few tinctures of what you assumed were medicine with a hand written note with dosage instructions.
Garrick was an ass on most days. Cocky, a little arrogant, funny but not funny at the same time. But damn if he didn't know how to put his big head and brain to use when taking care of others. You had never felt more annoyed and loved.

Headcanoning Comfort, because my insurance wont cover it
I can feel Bodhi slip behind me from my spot on the floor. His gentle touch startling, but comforting me back to the present. I dont know how long I’ve been sitting here, or how many people may have come by. But Bodhi always has a way of making his touch feel like a homecoming of sorts.
He props up his knees, arms slowly encircling my body and he holds me, easing me back into his chest with enough force to guide me to him but light enough to keep me in power of my own autonomy. but i welcome his hold, and press in to him. He drops his head on my shoulder. His curls caressing my cheeks and neck. His one arm moving to secure my waist, the other across my chest.
"Have you come to get me?" i ask, "to tell me to get up and just get over it?"
"no." he replies with a tenderness, "I'm just here to sit with you."
"what if i want to sit here for awhile? what if i dont ever want to get up."
"well," he brushes his cheek against me, "good thing I'm comfortable."
i stay silent for a while i absorb his words.
"ill stay with you, for as long as you'll have me."
"even if i ask for forever?" i ask, my voice feeling so small.
he smiles, "as long as you'll have me."

Bodhi is that type of guy who will be exhausted from training and when you come up to him with water he kisses you first. Kissing you is more refreshing and hydrating than anything.

I apologize for this but I feel that Xaden and Bodhi are the type of guys who sees that their SO is tired so they just drop to one knee and pat their thigh like, “come sit down, my love”
Lolol
