Reader takes care of a stubborn sick Capri who doesn’t want to miss cheer practice
Capri finally got cleared to do cheer again after the incident however a week and a half into cheer practices she gets a cold
Sang it to you soft & sweet
Capri Donahue x fem! reader
Warnings: coarse language, fluff, mentions & some descriptions to Capri’s accident and injuries, tiny bit of angst
Capri couldn’t wait to get back to cheerleading, but life kicks her down when she’s already down.
The last ten weeks have been pure chaos. From Capri’s electrocution accident, to her near death experience, her coma and her waking up. You got no breaks, feeling all the emotions. You were exhausted, but so happy Capri got through it. You didn’t lose her. Your girlfriend was still here, with you. Capri was out of school for awhile and relied on you to get her assignments done. You helped her catch up, and she was doing just fine, as you’d expected her to be. She was always a bright student. Now, Capri was just…bored. She has been longing to get back on the tumbling track, get moving again like she used to. It felt like eons ago when she last got to be as active as she was. So she was feeling a little bit upset over it, her doctors have yet to clear her for strenuous physical activities like cheerleading following a prolonged hospital stay.
To her, the biggest surprise was coming out of the ‘freak accident’ and being alive. Doctors say that it wouldn’t have been possible given how she literally died following the electrocution. But since they knew her case and extent of how she was hurt, this was a what they called a miracle. And hey, they weren’t wrong. She was experiencing some after effects, but they weren’t the worst part of her recovery process. The worst, was her being diagnosed with PTSD following the incident. The flashbacks and nightmares leading to insomnia attacks, she was tired for a long time and it had only recently improved. Why? She finally gave in and agreed to start seeing a psychiatrist and got her started on the appropriate meds to control her symptoms.
“I’m boredddd.” Capri groans.
“I know, baby.” You bite back a sigh, hand on her thigh tentatively.
“It’s been weeks, why am I still not allowed to do anything?” She sulked, laying her head in your lap. You naturally started to play with her hair and braid it. She smiles at you for that.
“Baby, you’ve been through a major thing, you’re still getting a bunch of symptoms from the electrocution. They just wanna be careful and make sure you’re completely safe before they clear you for something as strenuous as cheer.”
The accident didn’t leave her any scars, but she was definitely dealing with a lot, still. Muscle spasms, headaches, loss of balance, random tingling sensations…she even had an irregular heartbeat for awhile. Technically, the worst part of it was over. But was it, really? You guys didn't know if she’d be dealing with any long term effects yet.
“Are you coming with me tomorrow? For my appointment?”
“Baby, of course I am.” You took her hand into your own, pressing a kiss to the back of it. She doesn’t respond verbally but a smile tugs at her lips. Before you could say anything else, Capri’s sister returned home from her lunch date with her husband.
“Hi, guys.”
“Hey, Lucca.” Capri greeted back without a sigh.
The older sister couldn’t help it but laugh. ��Why are you just moping around? You guys can go to the mall or the park.”
“Already did.” You answered while Lucca walked over and sat down on the armchair.
“Anyway…you ready for your appointment tomorrow?”
“I’m nervous.” Capri admitted. “Also kinda sucks that Daddy can’t come with me too.”
“I know, honey. But y/n will be there, and me. Heck, even Jude if you want him to stay instead of just dropping us off. “We’ll keep Dad updated, alright? He knows, but he’s just—”
“On that business trip. I know, I know. He was scheduled for that since before I got hurt.”
————
Capri squeals, “God, I can finally start doing cheer again. Oh, I’m so excited.” You rubbed her back, arm eventually snaking around her waist protectively. Ever since she’s gotten discharged from hospital, you’ve become way more protective of her than she was of you. And damn, the girl made sure everyone knew that you were her girl. Her excitement was adorable, but you were quickly worried. About how she’d hold up at practice— that was tomorrow. You didn’t show it, of course. You couldn’t do that. You didn’t want to be a downer and ruin her mood. She was so happy.
The four of you went out to lunch to celebrate, then went home. The older couple had work, while you and Capri had school the next day. So, some downtime was definitely needed. Capri also called her Dad immediately to let him know the good news. It was always such a sweet thing to witness the bond between Capri and her Dad— she was such a Daddy’s girl. Her Dad was busy, but he always tried his hardest to spend as much time with her and Lucca as possible. He also treated you like another daughter of his, which was lovely.
Everything went back to pre-incident normalcy for a week. The next morning, Lucca and Jude dropped you both at school on their way to work. It was obvious Capri was in a better mood than usual lately. She was practically floating. Heck, she even said hi to Darby. As per every Tuesday’s schedule, you and Capri would be separated by classes for the first half of the day, only meeting up again at lunch. “Hi, baby.” You approached her, that smile on your face quickly fell.
Uh-oh. She wasn’t doing well.
“Capri, honey?” You sat her down, “What’s the matter?”
She avoided eye contact with you but there was no doubt that she seemed a little pale. Capri sneezes seconds later, giving you the confirmation you needed. “No cheer for you today.” You told her.
“Babe, I’m fine.”
“No, you aren’t. I don’t want you to push yourself too hard.” You spoke, cupping her cheek to make her look at you. “Do you wanna go home?” She ponders over your question briefly, then nodded her head without a word. Ever since what happened, she was significantly less stubborn, knowing how terrible things could get if she didn’t take care of herself, if she wasn’t more careful. Since the school clearly knew about Capri’s situation, they allowed her some leniency in terms of leaving school early. So you were able to take her home, no problem. Even though she’d agreed to go home, you knew she was upset about it, having to miss cheer practice. “You know, the squad just practices no matter what. We’d never miss a session over a cold.”
You bit your lip, not saying anything for a bit. “I’m sorry, but— you need to be careful right now, your body’s still recovering and now you’re sick so if you push yourself even just a little bit too much, I’m scared, honey.”
“I get it.” Capri gives you a solemn nod, “I’ll rest, okay?”
Once back at her place, you got Capri upstairs and into her bed after she changed out of her current outfit into a more comfy one. “You wanna get some sleep?”
“No.”
“Capri.” You warned.
She pouted, “I’m not sleepy.” You climbed into bed and carefully laid yourself on top of her. Capri sighs, “Yeah, I can easily roll you over and you’d be on the floor.” She smirked too. As annoyed as you were that she was being a little difficult, you decided to play along for a bit.
“Oh, yeah? You’d let your baby fall to the ground and hit her head?”
“Anything’s possible with me, y/n. You should know that by now.” She chuckles, rubbing your back soothingly.
You smirked, asking her playfully, “So, I’m your baby?”
“Huh. Did I say that?” She teased.
“Fine.” You huffed, “Stay up, don’t sleep.” Capri was just amused. Why was it so hard for her to take a goddamn nap that she so clearly needed?
“What can I do so you’d agree to take a nap?” You asked, gazing up at her big brown eyes. “I could sing.”
“You could.” Capri grins.
“Sure.” You agreed, having just the song in mind.
When you were done, you realised Capri was staring at you. “Uh.” She sniffed, “Did you…did you sing me this song while I was in the coma?” You blinked profusely, “I did. I wrote it to kind of just process all of what I was feeling and then one day I just sat there and sang it to you, hoping it would do something.”
Now her eyes were glossed over and her lips were quivering as she presses a kiss to the top of your head, “I’m so sorry I put you through that, darling.”
“It’s not your fault.” You were swiftly feeling like crying as well, but you swallowed your tears. “I’m just glad you’re still here with me.” Capri continues rubbing your back in a soothing motion, “Anything’s possible with me, y/n.”
You chuckled tearfully, “I’m sorry for being so insistent that you rested. It’s just that after everything…I’m terrified that I would lose you again if something happened so I’m being so careful but it’s not helping you if I just stay afraid all the time because life still has to go on, I shouldn’t be stopping you from cheering.”
“I think it’s sweet you’re looking out for me like that…being so protective. But, I get you. It’s not easy, having to go through all the stages of grief, the shock, the helplessness, the anger, and then hearing that ‘oh, she’s alive! But…she’s in a coma’. What happened didn’t just affect…me. It affected so many people, my parents, my sister, my friends…you. I heard it all, the crying, the screaming…and baby, I am so grateful that you stuck by me. You didn’t need to, but you did. And honestly, you— you were what I was fighting for. I could never leave you, ever.”
“Get some rest, I’ll be right here with you.” You licked your lips, getting off of her and laying beside her instead.
She nodded, finally not fighting the sleepiness.
Your arm rests across her chest, palm patting her to sleep. “We’ll get you a dose of meds for the cold if you need it later, okay?”
“Okay.” She agrees quietly.
“I love you.” You told her.
“I love you too, darling.” Capri replies groggily, “I love you so much. Thank you…for everything you’ve been doing for me.”
“You are my one, you set my world on fire.
I know there’s heaven but we must be higher.
I’m gonna love you till my heart retires.
Forever will last.
I think it went something like that.”

nico covering snow angel by reneé rapp only bc i associate winter with nico and his last name is di angelo so it would all be kinda funny (also he would 100% kill this song i know it)
and what if i said that was going to be a song on one of his future albums....
#but no literally the lyrics about making it through the winter is SO him#with bianca/maria's death in december and his father's in january#and obviously the angel aspect of it i loveee looking for songs that mention angels and stuff bc i just think it's a way of subtly adding#his own touch to it similar to with haunted/ghosts#examples (spoilers for graveyard tracks):#“in the angel's city seeking fortune and fame” - the lucky one#“always an angel never a god” - not strong enough#wrongcaitlyn#talk ur talk asks

My Week in Reviews: May 19, 2024
Mean Girls (Samantha Jayne & Arturo Perez Jr., 2024)
Not the train wreck I was expecting. Angourie Rice barely makes a good Cady and her singing is probably the weakest in the cast, I don't get the obsession with Reneé Rapp even in real life, so Regina doesn't work, at all, and the dude who plays Aaron is f*ckin' ugly, so his being the focus of Cady and Regina's attention throughout most of the movie never seems genuine. But other than that, there's some great shit, in here. Gretchen and Karen are awesome. The songs that aren't terrible are actually kinda great. And Moana f*ckin' owns Janis, easily becoming the single true upgrade over the brilliant original. - 6/10
Lisa Frankenstein (Zelda Williams, 2024)
It never gets as weird or over-the-top as it should, but I still had a really good time with it. Kathryn Newton is fantastic (as usual) and thankfully there's enough humor that lands to save it from the elements that don't. - 7/10
The Map of Tiny Perfect Things (Ian Samuels, 2021)
It has likable leads and a solid heart that makes it work as a coming-of-age story even without the time-loop mechanics. But I'm kind of a sucker for time-loop movies, so this didn't have to work all that hard to win me over, from the start. - 8/10
The Idea of You (Michael Showalter, 2024)
I've never identified with a singer in a boy band more than when this dude falls head-over-heels for Anne Hathaway. This wasn't bad. Nothing specific really stood out about it aside from Annie, but it had some good moments and ideas and was far from a waste of time. - 6.5/10
Madame Web (S.J. Clarkson, 2024)
Only having Sydney Sweeney in her Spider-Woman costume for less that 10-seconds of the film really has to be the biggest cinematic cheat of the decade... if not longer. Worse even than when they put Drew Barrymore all over the Scream posters. But really, I dwell on this because if I dwell on the actual film itself the depression over the fact that this big budget release with the overall quality of an old Troma flick actually got funding and a wide release would be crippling. Who thought any of this actually worked?!? - 1/10
Also revisited Andrew Patterson's The Vast of Night (because the mood struck for some quiet sci-fi) and Tom Vaughan's Starter for 10, because I completely forgot that I'd ever seen it in the first place, and Alice Eve.
Enjoy!
-Timothy Patrick Boyer.

Hii, first time sending something cuz I’m shy and insecure of my english grammar skills 💀 anyways, just wanted to say that I loveeee your fics, I’m always re-reading them! You’re amazing 🫶
Also, songs that I think can be JJ coded (most of them are kinda sad, sorry not sorry):
Strangers - Mercer Henderson ; 21 - Gracie Abrams ; Mixed Signals - Ruth B. ; She won’t go away - Faye Webster ; She likes a Boy - Nxdia ; Accident - Karly Bowman ; Pretty Girls - Reneé Rapp ; Moondust - Jaymes Young ; I’ll call you mine - girl in red ; Friends Don’t - Maddie & Tae ; exes - Tate McRae ; r u ok - Tate McRae ; Blow my brains out - Tikkle Me ; Picture You - Chappell Roan ; Bugambilia - Nasa Histoires ; ¿Cómo pasó? - Ela Taubert // (the last two are in spanish tho 🥴)
I hope this helps and that you like most of them 🤔🖤 I won’t add more cuz this got long 😰😂 sorry, i get carried away when someone asks for song recs 🥹
Oh and before I forget, saw your post so here 🌹
- 🗿
Don’t be shy! Your grammar is great and bring on the sad songs that’s like my favorite kind of song rec 👀 I will gladly check them all out! I don’t think I’ve actually listened to any you just gave me (even if I do know some of the artists and like them) so this will be good fuel for my fic motivation 😌
Also here’s your JJ sneak peek 😉
You were supposed to hate her, she left you. She hid you and then she got back with her ex, but here she was devouring your lips with her own. You weren’t supposed to swoon at the way she called you hers or melt when you felt her tongue dance against your own. But she was JJ— she was all you’ve ever wanted.

Okay lemme come up with some questions for ya~
Besides Norm, who's your favorite actor/celeb?
What other shows/movies do you like to watch?
Aaand what's your kind of music?
THANK YOU FOR SENDING QUESTIONS ILY!!
Okay
1. To be honest I have Norman reedus brain rot, no one else exists. Like it’s Norman, then everyone else is on the same level. However, I think Melissa McBride is incredibly talented and doesn’t get enough credit!! I like Zack galifinakis too (idk if I spelt it right), Ed helms, I like when Jim carrey does more serious films like eternal sunshine. I like Steven carrell too. OBVIOUSLY I love Andrew Lincoln, I’ve seen most things he’s in and he seems like a great guy, my uncle used to work with his brother and Andy is often near where I live so that’s exciting. JDM is cool too, I just definitely have a problem with appreciating others when I’m fixated on Norman.
2. I LOVE THE OFFICE US!! I’ve watched it about 12 times, I also like modern family. I’m really terrible at watching films and tv shows and TWD is the only show I’ve truly ever loved, RIDE w norm in second place and the office is third. But if we’re counting DARYL DIXON separately then that is above twd for me.
My favourite films are eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, Joker 2019, pink floyd the wall, tangled, little miss sunshine.
3. I used to exclusively like rick and “emo” like from when I was like 13 to 15 but now I kinda like everything. My fav bands are pink Floyd and nothing but thieves. I love Foo fighters and stereophonics but also love lady gaga and reneé rapp. It’s all over the place.
Jesus that was so long I’m sorry

Not that anyone will care but a lil introduction post for the fun of it :)
I'm Elijah, I go by any pronouns but I present more masculine which I've kinda stuck myself with despite feeling more femme atm. I'm 17, I love music more than life (which includes both writing and listening to it)
I'm a rookie singer/songwriter/guitarist.
I absolutely adore Billie Eilish. My music taste is very broad, to list a few: Boygenius, Melanie Martinez, Reneé Rapp, Noah Kahan, The Weeknd, FLETCHER, Hozier David Kushner, ashniko and Twenty One Pilots (a lot I know)
I'm an extrememly awkward person, and that's about all there is to know lmao.
Although if you want deep conversations or pretty words thrown at you I'm the one to come to :)
(also my hair is no longer pink that picture is a lie)

I don’t think your bland especially in your writing, I hope you didn’t take any offense to that 😭.
But like you have such verity, from anime (JJK on to Top💪🏻) to titans to Tbosbas. I barely ever see anyone write for titans!Jason Todd. Like I know him in the comics is superior but I feel like him in titans could use a little love too yk 🥹
And I’ll probably be sending asks a lot so prepare to be sick of me 🫶🏻
-🌺anon
omg pookie, thank you!! i absolutely love titan! Jason Todd, it's what introduced me to Jason Todd in the first place and got me a bit more interested in DC (tho am a marvel gal) comic jason is superior no doubt about it, but titan! Jason hitz different girlie!
i honestly started writing for LA!Sanji and LA!Koby. Like I absolutely loved them, and I love my jjk men tho i haven't catched up to the anime (am scared and delulu, I can't see nanami dead and gojo gone, hush, i knw about the manga as well, but GOJO WILL COME BACK 😶🌫️)
and then I fell in love with Ethan, and I was always a Hunger Games girly and i love myself a villain so Coryo came along! ❤️
now i am kinda going insane over Spencer Reid from criminal minds so expect at least one fic about that man
i also had such a huge crush on Reneé Rapp from mean girls, she's so awesome!
i am in a lot of fandoms, if i like something, i am OBSESSED OVER IT, there's no question about it!!
and send me as many asks as u want, i promise i won't get sick of it!

Okay sooo I watched the musical Mean Girls movie yesterday and I want to say a couple of things. First of all, it could've been worse tbh, it has it's moments, some jokes were good, others were terrible, visually it's not that bad, but I wish they tried to be more timeless instead of merely 2020s; the social media depiction was mediocre if I'm being honest, I hated it. When it comes to the songs, I honestly didn't like most of them, but I had some favorites and I think they deserve all the flowers cause omg they're all bops, those are:
World Burn
Apex Predator
Someone Gets Hurt
I'd Rather Be Me
Meet The Plastics
About the cast, I LOVED Reneé Rapp, it may be too early to say this, but I think I prefer her version of Regina George, she's gorgeous, her presence is stellar, her voice is excellent... The best part of the movie. Auli'i Cravalho and Jaquel Spivey were also great. For the others I don't really have that much to say, they were fine I guess. I think the movie failed in showing how mean the plastics were and making me invested with the characters stories, everything was kinda rushed and some scenes were unnecessarily long; we brought a friend who hasn't seen the original and well... He said he would not watch it without a good reason lol. The biggest fail in my opinion was making everything so soft, like bad double-faced people still exist, it's not a 2000s thing; the message that all of us do terrible things at some point or another and that it's part of the human experience to learn from it, specially in the teenage years, wasn't that well done. I didn't really see the "Mean" in this Girls and to say the truth, I wouldn't watch it again soon, and I think it will be easily forgotten.

thank you for answering :) i wasnt sure if you were tired of this discussion hahaha
i think that it's a little strange how they wanted to make tatum the s1 leighton and tried to villainise her but then accidentally wrote her to be a little too nice to leighton earlier. had she been just a little bitchier or that they showed another scene of her not being too nice, it wouldve come across better and we wouldnt have this wtf? moment. im not sure if you're familiar with the show, but another tweet pointed out how accidentally likeable tatum is and compared the reactions to her (assumed) departure to how the reactions were to penelope from legacies (the tvd spinoff). and that kind of hit the nail on the head for me. i think it doesnt help that gracie dzienny pulls off that "mean top bitch you would root for" so well. maybe they shouldve watched her in first kill 😂
i just wonder how theyre gonna write leighton and alicia now since they sort of used up quite a bit of plot they couldve used for s3. and considering midori is on greys now, i wouldnt be surprised if they had to rip them apart just to accommodate any potential scheduling conflicts. it just feels like they shot themselves in the foot here a little. had they not write off tatum so quickly, they couldve given themselves space just in case that happens as well.
it all just feel like wasted opportunities. youre right in saying its easier for us to sit back, judge it and think we couldve done better after they already finished the job. especially considering how volatile the fate of hbo's projects are right now. but it just feels so wasted because the show already had a good chunk of people loving it and it also naturally grew this season. it couldve just been so much better, but of course we dont know what went on behind the scenes.
not that i dont deeply love the show, i really do and i get really excited every week. but if this happens again next season, then it'll just a little painful to watch subsequently because all i'll think of is how it couldve been better. and thats saying a lot considering its already quite a great show.
I’m really just missing the nuance from how Tatum was written. I mean, there is a way to have her be as supportive as she was and for her to still, ultimately, be someone who reminds Leighton too much of a version of herself she wants to change. But to pull that out of their asses and toss Tatum aside despite all the good qualities she’d been given, nah that ain’t it.
But in that sense I’m not sure Tatum was accidentally likeable. I think they cast Gracie for a reason, surely, a reason beyond that she kinda resembles Reneé Rapp. I do think the creators put enough thought into it to consider that Tatum would inevitably be likeable to many and I don’t think the intention ever was to completely villainize her. Nor would that be a good story. It’s just... there’s such a disconnect between her first three episodes and how easily she’s discarded. Once again I can only say that it was lazy writing and that’s what I find upsetting.
I’m just curious to see how Leighton’s journey continues, and I do hope they put more weight behind her social awakening in season 3. There is the question of how she can continue being with Alicia when Midori might not be available for as much as a love interest of a main character should be, but really I just care about Leighton. If they write Alicia out in episode one I am gonna be upset ngl lmao because then what was the reason? Ah well, we’ll see. I take comfort in the show’s apparently good numbers and that it was renewed for season 3 so quickly. But one can never know in today’s fragile streaming market and especially with HBO Max and their bullshit so I hope the show doesn’t alienate its audience in season 3. I fear the season 2 finale might have done some damage; valid or not is another matter, but yeah it’s tricky with audiences nowadays. But also, like you say, it is a great show and I enjoyed season 2 very much despite my criticisms, and I just wish for the pacing and other adjacent issues to improve in season 3. I feel like by the third season a series should be mature enough to have that stuff figured out.

I have seen the scissor conspiracy and it’s honestly it’s growing on me but I’m still unconvinced.
I want Meg thee Stallion!! Get the pony her Stallion pls! I also want to see the scissors scissoring in full glory ✂️✂️🙏
And of course tummy hurts with Towa (I screamed loudly at my computer when i saw Towa)
Side note Reneé isn’t scheduled for anything for like a month after Sunday so I’m kinda just a little hoping for a lesbian visibility week/day post of some kind (unserious and unhingedness is very welcome) she made one on her spam account for intentional lesbian day so here is to hoping I guess
left this without an answer bc i forgor but yes i also hope someone tells her it’s lesbian week (please someone help renee “i thought pride was in august” rapp)
saw someone make a case for her bringing on bryan tiller which is plausible but i’m pretty sure he’s on tour rn so.
see you in 23 hours 🫡
