*Gives your spidersona fluffy blankets, sloth plushies, a Japanese bento box filled with delicious food and fruits, and hot chocolate* It's okay to take care of your needs, wants, and health. You also deserve getting lots of encouragement and compassion. <3

Aw, thank you so much! I really appreciate this <3

Here's a dumb small thing I wrote, self care I suppose:

====

Acedia shuffled through the door of Otto's lab one day after a rough month and a particularly hard day before. She wasn't dressed up as usual, still wearing her pajamas and slippers as she approached Otto who was working on some new scientific invention.

"..Otto?"

The little man turned around with a little surprise, his greeting fell short as he noticed Acedia wasn't looking too upbeat as she normally does.

"Oh, what's the matter, dear?"

"Could.. Could you take over for me today? Maybe tomorrow, too? I just.. I think I wanna just.. sleep for awhile.. I need to rest.. I'm so tired from everything.." she curled in on herself a little like a wilted flower, rubbing her face then dropping to hold her arms close for a comfort.

Otto understood well, after all the unwanted events throughout the month, it was draining. On top of that, it certainly took quite the toll on her mental health, he could tell that much by comparisonto himself.

"Of course, dear. Please, rest all you'd like, you don't need to ask me twice. You've done more than enough, I think that's reason enough to get you a staycation from life for however long you need."

Dropping his work he came over to give her a hug and help her walk to bed. The arms at his back taking care of a few things as they left the lab before zipping back to him.

"Thank you, Otto.." she sighed, giving a tired yet genuine little grin, "Please, take care." and slipped into the room to get some well needed sleep.

"Of course, I would do anything to help you." He smiled back and looked to his arms when the door closed. "Well, it seems we have some work to do today, friends." Speaking softly, he turned around and went back to his lab to get ready to patrol the city.

Otto was a loyal man to his work, but even more so to those he loved, both friends and family and more. No work he had would stop him from helping and caring, not even if the work was often fighting super powered bad guys on occasion.

No, he did this willingly and happily. He, too, shared the sentiments of wanted to help that Acedia showed. Admirable quality, he respects that.

With everything set to go, Otto took one last moment to prep some water and snacks, leaving them quietly on the table with Acedia before taking off.

She seemed so frail in many ways, though she's far from it, he thought. Always a trooper, he liked that about her, it inspired him, encouraged him to do the same. No matter how tough it may seem, it could always be better if you tried.

To preserve that took a lot. He'll happily fill in for her heroic duties for however long she needs to recover. He feels it was the least he could do.

...

For the first time in awhile, this was the best sleep Acedia had gotten. Undisturbed and at peace. Her worries melting away to the waters of her subconscious. Resting easy knowing Otto is keeping the world safe.

..And helping to look after her when she needed it most. She couldn't have loved him more if she tried.
