like a phoenix. (2.7k words)
what if phoenix- instead of being virtually indestructible, actually wasnt? what if he was actually incredibly prone to death, but he justā€¦ never stayed dead?
(trigger warning for a multitude of causes of deaths!! some in detail and some not. other twā€™s include implied suicide attempts, implied child neglect, derealisation and thinking one is already dead. be warned! take care of yourself!)
at 9, he wakes in his bed after having a high fever and his mom ships him off to school hours after it began. he finds it odd, because last heā€™d checked his temperature (that morning, when he told his mom he felt like he was going to die and his mom had left to go run errands, barely sparing him a glance), his temperature had been at 107 degrees farenheit. that was definitely high, but after he slipped into unconsciousness, writhing and restless and in a lot of pain, he woke up to his mother checking his temperature and saying he was fine to head off to school. he didnt feel fine, but his temperature had gone down significantly enough that his mother felt like he had no excuse not to go. hes glad he went to school though, even as he shivered, sneezed and sniffled, because there he found a friend in a boy with a funny bowtie and a heart made of gold.
he crunches and chokes on glass shards and poison but doesnt die. the doctors dont find anything wrong with him, aside from feeling a bit ill, so he goes back into the courtroom and dollie is convicted of murder. hes happy his roommate is away for some theatre troupe thing, because the sickness eventually catches up to him and he throws up shards of glass, acid and blood. it cuts into his throat and burns his eyes and he swears, he swears he dies right then and there, freezing and shaking and everything hurts. but when he wakes up hours later, the sun having set and the only light source in his dingy dormroom the moon outside, hes amazed to not feel sick anymore. but the puddle of sludge is drying beside his face and he considers himself lucky, or maybe unlucky, because unlike dahliaā€™s other victims, he actually lives to tell the tale.
phoenix arrives early to the office, having been in the public library nearby reading a book on reincarnation. he enters the office and promptly has his skull caved into his brain. he does not see his assailant, but when he wakes, theres an oddly dressed girl crying, crouched over his bossā€™ cold body. he doesnā€™t think about the drying blood in the back of his head, or how cold miaā€™s body is (and why he can even tell, considering the fact he has not touched her corpse) or the chapter in the book heā€™d been reading that talked about quantum immortalityā€” all he thinks of is proving maya feyā€™s innocence.
as it turns out, being constantly anxious and terrified of mortal peril actually has its perks. maybe the fact heā€™s a lawyer whose only ever dealt with homicide cases definitely wasnā€™t benefiting his mental wellbeing either. in any case, its that fear of literally everything and constant feeling of impending doom that makes his body react before his mind does. taser! danger! maya! so, he gets tasered. and it fucking HURTS, but he feels more relieved than frightened as the searing pain shoots through him, because heā€™d been able to push maya away before von karma got to them both. wasnt a symptom of death by electrocution an overwhelming feeling of helplessness and imminent death? maybe he was going crazy. when he comes back though, its to his head in the lap of a crying spirit medium, so maybe a psychotic break isnt too bad if it means everyone else gets to escape with no damage to their own psyche.
its only after she stops screaming in terror- oh my god, nicks a zombie!! kyahh!!!- and nearly beating him with her bulky magatama necklace, that she tells him what she saw. (ā€œlike, there was a sudden bright light and then i realised it was coming from you! but when i tried to touch your glowing skin,ā€ she says it like its the most absurd thing sheā€™d ever seen, which really said something considering the fact she was from a family of people who could channelthe dead ā€œit was HOT! like, japanifornia summer hot! blazing! i was only able to check your pulse after you cooled down a bitā€¦ā€). maybe its this that makes him less alarmed by the way his skin glowed in the dark of his trashed bedroom, after drinking himself to death following a certain phone call from a terribly sad, newly bossless detective. he doesnt think he can bear the taste alcohol ever again, after that.
maybe the number of times heā€™s died of blunt force trauma to the head should be a cause for concern, even more so when he wakes up without any of his memories. heā€™s terrified, and doesnt even knows who he is, until he does, and is able to prove maggey byrde innocent. fun times! he should probably watch out to make sure his next death wasnā€™t to the head, lest he be as mentally impaired as a number of people liked to say he wasā€¦ (and he should probably also be concerned by the fact he was already thinking of the next time heā€™d die, but ah well, blame it on the concussion).
as it turns out, getting whipped to death was not on his list of ways he thought heā€™d die next, but life liked to mess with him like that, it seemed. still, dragging his delirious self to the bathroom of his office to try and save the infected wounds from killing him wasnā€™t all that fun, and heā€™s immediately reminded of his first death, slow and painful, alone and scared of what came next. he feels bad for feeling relieved when maya shows up and screams upon seeing the state he and the bathroom (thatā€™d heā€™d accidentally trashed when his legs gave out after he opened the door, a number of bottles fallen to the floor beside him) were in. he stops her from calling the police- there was no point, he didnā€™t have much time left. but when she asks what she could do, he goes quiet. (ā€¦justā€¦ stay here? i dont- he coughs up a distinctly red shade of spit. maya makes a noise between a choked cry and a whatthefuckwhatthefuckwhatthefuck. but phoenix was shivering worse now, and hugs himself tigher. i dont want to die alone.) so she stays with him, on the cold bathroom floor, as his labored breathing eventually slows. when he awakens, he finds maya asleep leaning against him, and promises to get her burgers as a thank you.
who knew death by a monkey throwing a giant bronze bust of max galactica at you could happen? at this point, heā€™s almost glad he was basically immortal, because there was no way in hell heā€™d allow his autopsy report to say ā€˜cause of death: monkey manslaughterā€™! edgeworth would laugh himself to tears if he saw! not that he could see. or cry, because he was dead. and not coming back. damn.
so edgeworth isnt dead! yippee? he thought it was his thing to get reanimated after death, not edgeworths. when he saw him, standing in the middle of the police department, alive and breathing and very much not dead, he nearly started laughing. he mustā€™ve finally gone insane! curse the amount of times heā€™d died of brain related injuries, not that he knew how many of them there were at this point. he might actually have laughed a bit, because pearls was looking at him like he was losing it (he was) but he couldnt really bring himself to care as he had more pressing issues at hand, like saving his best friend from a crazy serial killer holding her hostage, and punching his other best friend in the face for faking his own death (because really, dying was his thing! not edgeworths!). and if he pulls edgeworth into a hug immediately after, throwing caution in the wind (you only live once, right?), the warmth- a normal, human temperature, unlike his burning hot when he came back from death- is enough to stabilise his harried mind for just a moment, before he has to return to his guilty client and his hopeless situation.
by some crazy turn of events, he actually doesnt die from having boiling hot coffee thrown at his face. it burns, and maya screams when she sees the boils on his face after that first trial with godot, but after throwing a wet towel over his face and putting him in timeout on the sofa for 12-hours, the burns go away as if they were never there. he fell asleep at some point, and after alot of back and forth debate, they eventually came to the conclusion that 1. his body heat rising to burning levels when he dies must have caused his body has to grow immune to heat and 2. since sleep was like a ā€˜temporary deathā€™, a ā€˜temporary woundā€™ would just heal like it did when he died of normal wounds, right? he didnā€™t want to dwell on it too much, because maya was looking at him like she wanted to test that theory for real, so he quickly changes topics before things got out of hand.
so their theory on the immunity to heat thing was correct! ā€¦almost. larry had tried to stop him, but it was fire and he was basically immune to heat, right? nope! his skin burned and boiled but he didnā€™t die as he tried to run across the burning bridge. even so, nothing hurt more than falling through one of the burnt planks and slamming onto the surface of the freezing cold rushing stream below. luckily the death was near immediate, but unfortunately he came to while in the water still, so he swallowed a sizeable amount of water before paramedics arrived. he hears the doctors find his survival miraculous, despite the scorching hot fever he was now under. he blacks out again, and comes to in the hospital, feeling absolutely terrible.
the horribleness feels familiar though, and when edgeworth walks in, he realises what it must be, when the man presses the back of his hand to his temple and quickly pulls his hand away as if burned. (oh. he thinks, tearing up despite himself. it must be the fever. iā€™m going to die like this again.) his internal monologue mustā€™ve been external though, because edgeworth balks (ā€˜again?!ā€™). but phoenix was crying in hiccups and sobs, feeling terrible and like he was nine years old again, wishing his mother were there to nurse him back to health like sheā€™d never done before. he faintly hears edgeworth sitting down on his bed and reaches out, gripping the mans waist like it was a lifeline. in a sense, it was. ā€œdonā€™t go.ā€ he whispers, gripping the man tighter like heā€™d disappear into thin air (again). ā€œplease, please donā€™t go.ā€ in his delirium, he nearly wails in despair when he feels edgeworth move, but he was only moving to readjust himself so heā€™s lying next to him, their bodies so close that it must burn, but the only sign edgeworth shows that heā€™s in pain is a wince and the crease of his brow. he allows himself to be cried on, curling a protective arm over phoenixā€™s burning body. ā€œi- i dont know whatā€™s going on, wright, but iā€™m not, iā€™m not going anywhere, okay?ā€ he seems to be attempting exasperation, but it comes out terrified and concerned, but phoenix is fading quickly, so it might just be his waning mind making up things that donā€™t exist. ā€œi am terrified. your body is life threateningly hot andā€” wright? wright!ā€
he comes to with nurses surrounding him, and a distressed edgeworth swearing on his life that that man was dead, his body was seizing and on fire and- and his heart stopped beating! but phoenix couldnā€™t dwell on it, because the mention of fire immediately brought him back to why he was in the hospital at all. and plus, it gave him the chance to use his best friends sensitive treatment of him afterwards to convince him to play defense attorney, so that was nice. still, he feels like he dies when he finds out dahlia had actually been iris and that godot was actually his dead mentors apparently not dead boyfriend. oh, and he was also a murderer. he also feels like he dies when dahlia- actual, serial killer and dead by execution dahlia, was exorcised from mayaā€™s body. but that had more to do with his soul leaving his body in terror rather than actually dying, so that was a nice change of paceā€¦ probably.
later, heā€™d had to have a conversation with edgeworth to give him an explanation on just what the hell heā€™d witnessed in that hospital room. although, apparently his re-aliving symptoms mustā€™ve started becoming more dramatic, because miles describes it as his whole body glowing as bright as the sun, and then his eyes opening for a moment to reveal nothing but white, glowing eyeballs with no irises. phoenix has to convince him to still board his flight the day after, that he was okayā€¦ probably. maybe not safe, but definitely okay. (still, edgeworth stays the night at his, and they hold eachother close, basking in the shared warmth of two alive bodies in heat equilibrium, listening to eachothers breathing and rhythmic heartbeats, no signs of impending mortality in sight, save for, what did the french call it? la petite morte? most of all, phoenix basks in the promise miles makes to him. ā€œiā€™m not going anywhere,ā€ he repeats, over and over like he was trying to convince himself as much as he was phoenix. ā€œiā€™m not going anywhere, i promise.ā€)
and when he loses his badge, he thinks he really does die, permanent and definitively. he feels far away from his body when the forger is called to the witness stand. feels like a ghost when the council walks out the room and past him, making no eye contact and answering the unanswered question on the tip of his tongue. feels his life crumble to pieces when a blonde man with a pleasent, almost saintly smile gives him the most maddeningly sympathetic look and tells him he is sorry for his loss, as if there really was someone dead. only, the only one dead mustā€™ve been him, because there was no one else there who had just lost their life. he couldnā€™t even hear himself as he laughed, which turned into sobs, as he excused himself and fleed to his bicycle. not one pedestrian bats an eye at the state he is in, so he must really be a ghost, cycling past speeding cars and large trucks and buses as if it couldnā€™t kill him, because he wasnā€™t there, he was already dead. when he reaches his office, freezing and quiet and dreadfully void of any human life, he passes by the window his boss had died at and sees his reflection, unkempt and red faced and badgeless. he wants to scream, but he couldnā€™t because no one would hear a ghost scream, so instead he just sits down in the spot his mentor had lost her life in, and mourns.
when two weeks later a warm, incredible alive life falls into his hands in the shape of a little girl with a too big tophat and a joy for being alive that heā€™d lost years ago, well, maybe he is glad that he couldnā€™t die for real, if only to be able to wake up to that beaming grin as his little girl tries to pull her daddy out of bed because sheā€™d made breakfast, and it only smells burnt because of the magic something sheā€™d added as a special ingredient. he eats it, char and all, because he canā€™t taste the burnt-ness of it anyway, but he could taste the love and care put into it, and that was more than enough to take his mind away readying himself for his next death. instead, he thinks of his daughterā€™s next performance at the wonder bar, and their next trip to kurain, and milesā€™ next visit. for once, he thinks of living.

NarutošŸ¦Š-*
Hes lazy at home. Not because heā€™s tired he just wants you to take care of him, but when you call him a baby for all these requests he gets mad ā€œI AM NOT A BABY! I AM A GROWN MAN! NOW SPOON FEED ME!ā€
He tries to prank you but fails, your too smart to fall for it. He always tries to trip you in public while walking and every time he is the one on the floor and your the one laughing some how-
He likes the idea of drawing and being an artist he just canā€™t draw. He can only draw stick people with different hair, one time he tried to draw you, gave up and instead gave you a picture of a stick person with your hair. Itā€™s now on the fridge LOL
He tries to act cool around his friend with you but just makes a fool of himself. ā€œYeah this my bae so what?ā€ ā€œYeah Iā€™m his bae and heā€™s my baby, my big, soft, smiley baby!ā€ His soul is now crushed and his friends all laughing
He sleeps like a ANIMAL. he full on canā€™t sleep normally, You both go to bed the same time, one of you is always gunna wake up on the floor, mostly you. Then he wakes up like ā€œwhy you on the floor?ā€
SasukešŸ—”ļø-*
He may seem cool but he gets very flustered. He doesnā€™t cover his face though he just closes his eyes so he doesnā€™t get more flustered and so he can ignore the fact that he is red
He CANT Dance, donā€™t EVER take him dancing. Itā€™s not because heā€™s bad at dancing he just never learn. If there is music he will bop his head to the beat though, if you try to get him to dance he will freak out and freeze. He just doesnā€™t like it ok!
His waist is weirdly sensitive, you could barely touch his waist and he will start giggling. He isnā€™t ticklish anywhere else but if you take a feather to his waist he will start LAUGHING
He will kick your feet when he wants attention. If you guys are out to dinner with friends he will kick you under the table to get your attention, he thinks itā€™s funny until you fight back and stomp on his foot. He made you kiss his pain away at home, atleast he got attention LOL
He forgets the silliest things one time he forgot how to tie a knot so anything he needs to tie like his clothes or shoes you had to do for him. You donā€™t know if he actually forgot or if he just wanted to be babied-
ItachišŸ„€-*
He canā€™t handle heatwaves. If itā€™s over 90 degrees heā€™s gone for. One time you woke up on a heat wave morning waiting for him to wake up and walk out but he never did, you went to find him and he was in bed, sprawled out, shirt and covers off soaked in sweat. You had to rub ice on him to get him conscious -
Unlike naruto, he likes drawing and can ACTUALLY DRAW, although he can only draw plants but he doesnā€™t mind he likes plants! He will draw you flowers instead of buying you some which is like equally as cute~
He has very sensitive eyes. Like how he canā€™t handle heat he cant handle the sun either. If it isnā€™t cloudy he will have to squint to keep his eyes from hurting. When you told him to wear sun glasses he said ā€œI still want to see you clearly though loveā€¦ā€
Heā€™s not a big fan of skin care but he likes those face roller things. He bought one just so you could use it on him, he likes that itā€™s cold but also massaging!
He sneezes like a girl- he has the cutest, most petite sneeze youā€™ve ever heard out of a man which is cute and very funny. He doesnā€™t even realize it either ā€œa-choo!ā€ ā€œThat was crazy out of characterā€ ā€œhuh?ā€
KakashišŸƒ-*
Heā€™s allergic to cats, he likes cats sure but he never hangs around them because heā€™s allergic. You didnā€™t know that and one day you brought a stray inside and he instantly turned puffy (poor thing)
Once he gets home and discards the mask he puts lip tint on. He has pink lips for that reason. When he first puts it on he will find you and kiss you just to leave a mark before waiting 10 minutes then whipping it off
He needs reading glasses but never uses them, then complains to you when he gets a headache as if you didnā€™t tell him to put them on
He takes a lot of baths. If he showers it bound to end up a bath. And he doesnā€™t care if your using the bathroom if he wants a bath heā€™s gunna make a god Danm bath. One time You were just washing your face and he busted in the door and ran to the bathtub, You washed your face as fast as you could-
He is EXTREMELY tired when he first wakes up, he doesnā€™t move for like 20 minutes so if he needs to get up and do stuff your gunna have to make him, like actually youā€™ll have the carry him out of bed.
KibašŸŗ-*
He bites his nails from stress so you have made it a habit to smack his hand away when he does. It worked since all you have to do is tap him softly and he will stop. Heā€™s so glad you help him get over bad habits
He decorated akamarus ears when heā€™s bored, one time you walk in on him giggling like a little girl and akamarus ears were pulled together in a little ponytail! You joined in on the funšŸ¤ž
He comes back from a casual walk along a complete mess, you have no idea how but one day he came back with half a bush stuck on his leg. He always cleans up though!
He sometimes transforms akamaru into himself to prank his friends or you, mostly you. One time akamaru came up to you as Kiba and started licking your face ā€œEW OH MY GOD?!ā€ ā€œAUUFF AUF!ā€ ā€œKIBA YOUR NOT FUNNYā€
He always has tan cheeks and nose. Compared to the rest of his face, his cheeks are cute and golden!
ShikamarušŸ€„ļø-*
He lets you win at intelligents based games to make you feel better. Except one time he actually tried and lost. Heā€™s convinced you cheated
His hair is straight but gets very frizzy if not cared for. (You care for it since heā€™s lazyy)
He draws on himself when bored, mostly just trippy designs like swirls and stuff. Will also let you draw on him, only if your good tho he doesnā€™t want ā€œbad drawingā€ on himšŸ˜”
He has a box FULL of hair ties and will notice if you take one. ā€œThis one you literally stole from me?ā€ ā€œDonā€™t care put it back!!!ā€
He gets Freezingly ļæ¼cold at night, like really really cold. When he snuggles up to you to warm up you could feel how cold he really is and you donā€™t understand how since you are both under covers-
ShinošŸŖ²-*
He keeps bugs in the house so they can watch over anything, they are basically his security cameras-
His hair is so cute and wavy! Also gets very frizzy because of the texture like Shika. He also makes you take care of it, he just really likes you touching his hair
He gives you bugs as gifts, not like freaky beetles but cute little bugs like lady bugs or fuzzy green caterpillars. You find it cute that he gives you things that mean so much to him
He shockingly has a sensitive neck, only to you though. Bugs can crawl all over it and he doesnā€™t move but if you try to kiss it he gets chills. Also shockingly he has really soft skin idk maybe he sheds skin (IM JOKING)
When he gets home and can finally undress he lets you take his glasses off since you love his eyes and he loves that you love them. He gets insecure about it sometimes!
NejišŸŽ‹-*
He speak really highly and intelligently but heā€™s honestly a little dumb sometimes, or maybe heā€™s just dumb with you to be silly we donā€™t know
The only jewelry he really wears is an ankle bracelet you got him
He loves hair charms, he likes decorating his hair! He likes putting clips and braids in it, sometimes even put color streaks in it if he wants to be festive
He really likes pottery and making things out of clay, heā€™s very creative and he finds clay the perfect outlet. He even makes pots for you!
He has a flower garden that NO ONE is allowed in. He treats them like theyā€™re his babyā€™s, because they are! Heā€™s favorite plant he has is his cactuses.
LeešŸ„‹-*
Heā€™s extremely energetic and powerful yet he has asthma, he denies it. But if itā€™s really hot outside he runs out of breath REALLY fast which makes you worry
Heā€™s scared of spiders you kill the spiders for him or he runs! If you trap a spider and chase him with it he will almost start crying (he will start crying) heā€™s ashamed to admit spiders are his weakness
He wears mascara, he gotta make them lashes voluminous yk. He stole his mascara from tenten too. You made him give it back to her and bought him his own
Itā€™s pretty obvious but he is FLEXIBLE! Backbend, splits anything he can do. You thought he broke his spine onces-
Heā€™s not much of a plant guy but he has the TINIEST succulent in your room that he cares for, every other plant he has had died but not that one~
ChojišŸ„-*
He loves finger painting and is actually really good at it, youā€™d think it was made by a professional and an actual paint brush but no it was Choji and his finger paintšŸ˜­
His hair is so thick most hair ties he uses break. He has to use hair needles instead because itā€™s the only thing that holds if he wants his hair up for a while
He thinks pillow fights are actually entertaining he could have a pillow fight with you all day and never get bored. He goes crazy if heā€™s over at someoneā€™s house and they suggest pillow fights!
He loves bath bombs!!! He basically died when you run him a bath and put bath bombs in it, his favorite scent it lavender. Even if you didnā€™t add a bath bomb he loves when you make him baths he thinks its adorable
He paints your cheeks like his in your sleep, thatā€™s his idea of a prank even though itā€™s basically him just being a cutie ā€œlook now your like me y/n!!ā€
Gaaraā³-*
He turns the black rings around his eyes to cat eyes sometimes. He looks ADORABLE with cat eyes. He sometimes even uses eye shadow too, if he canā€™t change it he thought might as well make it look cutee
Heā€™s scared of mosquitos, he just doesnā€™t like bugs that can fly and go after human blood it freaks him out
He wears one of those scent bracelets and puts your signature scent in it so he always smells like you~
He gifts you plants all the time
He collect the silliest things, there are these cute little cat charms at a near by store and heā€™s working on collecting them all!
KankurošŸŖ†-*
Shockingly he really likes reading. He likes fiction books the most, he asks you for suggestions
He asks you what new make up design he should try, sometimes he just gives you the brush and lets you go wild. But you always make him look cute~
He fidgets with the ears on his hat when heā€™s bored. It rubbed off on you so now if heā€™s around you with his hat on you start messing with them-
He steals your clothes and hides them so you have no choice but to ask to use his for the day. After the day is over he comes up to you smiling and hands you your missing clothes ā€œfound em!ā€ ā€œBy found em do you mean took them out of the hiding spot?ā€ ā€œYeah-ā€
He paints his nails either black, pink or purple. He also lets you paint them, it honestly just ends up a mess. He would totally whip nail polishes on your nose~

Congratulations on 700 followers Mo šŸ˜–šŸ’—....I really LOVE reading your fanficsā˜ŗļø
I was kindly requesting Navy hummingbird and sloth please
Tumblr media
Eeeek thank you so much for reading! I hope you like this one! (Honestly? I kind of wrote this with the thought of it being Burning Hearts, my Law series, adjacent.) Needy Law is so cuuuuute!
Pairing: Trafalgar Law x Fem!Reader
Prompt/Trope: Sex Pollen/Aphrodisiac x SomnophiliaĀ 
WC: 1900
Warnings: oral, sex pollen affects, somnophilia without discussion but letā€™s assume they have (donā€™t worry weā€™re cool!) unprotected sex, p in v sex,Ā prone bone, creampies and breeding baby!
Happy Anniversary, Baby (18+)
ā€” ā€”Ā 
Law was a composed man. Over time, you had managed to worm your way through his hardened exterior to reach his nerdy, compassionate, caring center. Even as he opened up to you, he was still methodical about most things, including sex. He had the motions to make you orgasm down to a science at this point, making sure you were pleased far more than worrying about his own release. He always pulled out. He was the doctor who prescribed your birth control for godā€™s sake but he insisted on being careful anyway. Even if you begged him to finish inside, he was stubborn. You would never complain about your relationship with Law, he was just the way you liked him.Ā 
Law was up early one morning going over paperwork at his desk. He couldnā€™t sleep any longer and didnā€™t want to wake you from your peaceful slumber by tossing and turning, so he decided to get some work done.Ā 
After an hour or so of being engrossed in his work, Law glances at the calendar hanging on his office wall. Todays date had little pink hearts drawn around it in gel pen, by your hand of course.Ā 
ā€œOh shit.ā€Ā 
Law had forgotten about your anniversary.Ā 
He had to think of something fast, preferably before you woke up. You were always telling him he worked too much so he couldnā€™t imagine the ass-chewing he would receive if you found out he forgot your anniversary.Ā 
ā€œFlowersā€¦ā€ He mumbles as he rises from his desk and leaves his office. He headed down the hall to the large closet you had converted into a makeshift greenhouse for your beloved hydroponic garden.Ā 
He rips open the metal door and is hit in the face with moist air and the refreshing smell of greenery. The walls and center of the room were completely covered in carefully curated small plants, vegetables, flowers, and ferns. Law steps in and closes the door behind him.Ā 
ā€œShe likes yellowā€¦ā€ Law mutters to himself as he finds himself overwhelmed by all the flowers around him. He was a doctor, not a botanist, he had no idea what any of these plants were so he just decided to choose something in your favorite color.Ā 
He walked up to a large bush on the left side of the room that had unique-looking yellow flowers blossoming all over it. He thought this would be as good as any so he reached out his hand to pluck at the stem of one of the blooms.Ā 
Just as he wrapped his tattooed fingers around the plant, the flower released a puff of yellow pollen right in his face. Law jerks backwards. The particles fly up into his sinuses and causes an uncomfortable tickle.Ā 
ā€œAh- ACHOO!ā€ Law sneezes violently which triggers the rest of the flowers on the bush to release their own supply of pollen into the air, clouding his vision and irritating his nose further.Ā 
Law covers his face and rubs his eyes, trying to brush any remaining flower pollen off of him.Ā 
ā€œMust be some kind of natural defense mechanismā€¦ fuck that.ā€ Law gripes as he wipes the last remnants of the pollen from his tired face.Ā 
Law catches his breath and chooses to abandon this particular, aggravating plant. He spies a rosebush in the corner of the room. He knows what those are for sure, and as long as he doesnā€™t prick himself on the thorns, it should be less of a challenge to harvest them.Ā 
Law walks over to the rosebush and begins snipping off the beautiful yellow blossoms, keeping the stems just long enough to put in a vase. Once he had around a dozen roses, he left the greenhouse room to find suitable container for the flowers in the kitchen.Ā 
Rooting around in the kitchen cabinets, Law struggles to find anything nice enough for an anniversary bouquet.Ā 
He wipes sweat from his brow and realizes that heā€™s been having to do it every few momentsā€¦ why was he so sweaty? Was the boiler on the fritz again? He made a mental note to check the furnace on the ship after he gave you your gift. Law ignores the heat creeping up through him and continues searching the cabinets.Ā 
He is pushing coffee mugs aside just as he notices the warm feeling become even more intense. Sweat was beading at his temples.Ā 
ā€œFuckā€¦ā€ Law grunts and abandons his quest briefly so he can pour himself a glass of water. He chugs the entire cup in a few gulps and slams it back onto the kitchen counter. His jeans felt tight now. He looks down. His dick was fully hard, straining against the thick fabric of his pants.Ā 
ā€œWhat the hellā€¦ā€ Law had no idea what was happening to him. He was normally so in control of his faculties, but he now found himself painfully erect for no reason at all. He felt more droplets of sweat trickle down from his scalp to his neck. He grips the countertop and hangs his head, breathing heavily.Ā 
It had to be that plant. He had no other logical explanation for the ache in his crotch and the uneasiness he was feeling in his head. The water didnā€™t help. He needed your help. You knew everything about the plants in there and would know exactly what to do to make the effects stop.Ā 
Great, Law thought. Not only did he blow off your anniversary, he might have severely injured himself in the processā€¦ once again he wins the ā€œShittiest Boyfriend in the Grand Lineā€ award. You were going to kill him, and at this point Law was so uncomfortable that he would probably let you. He abandons the flowers strewn across the kitchen counter and heads to your shared bedroom, desperate to find a cure to his ailment but also apprehensive of your reaction to his idiocy.Ā 
He pushes open the bedroom door and quietly slips in, so he wouldnā€™t startle you if you were still sleeping. Before he has a chance to even form the words he wanted to use to explain himself to you, he was stopped in his tracks by your sleeping form.Ā 
You had tossed all the covers off your body since Law had left, and you were laying on your back snoozing peacefully. Arms stretched over your head, Lawā€™s bright yellow t-shirt emblazoned with his Jolly Roger was the only article of clothing you had on. You looked so serene, lost in your dreams, little snores escaping your parted dry lipsā€¦ but Law could only focus on one thing. His t-shirt had ridden up and your thighs were spread, perfectly exposing your naked sex to him.Ā 
Law felt his entire heartbeat in his cock now. Your plump, outer pussy lips looked so delicious, so kissable, and all Law could think about now was burying his tongue in you as you slept. Without thinking, Law unzips his pants and steps out of them when they fall to the floor, hissing as his dick finally has more room to breathe. He was no longer in control of himself, he could almost smell you from across the bedroom. He needed to have you now.Ā 
He shouldnā€™t! The last of his sanity was pulling at his brain, begging him to just wake you up and ask you how to diffuse the effects of the flowerā€™s pollenā€¦ but your naked cunt before him was just too much to resist any longer.Ā 
Still feeling hot, Law strips himself completely, hat included. His hands tremble with need and tension as he tries to delicately settle himself on the bed between your legs, not wanting to wake you up. He would have a small taste and then let you restā€¦ just one little lickā€¦
He couldnā€™t help it. He immediately latched his whole mouth around your sex and laves his tongue up from the bottom of your hole to the top of your clit.Ā 
ā€œHnnnhhhā€¦ā€ You whimper and shift in your sleep.Ā 
ā€œMmmmā€¦ā€ Law groans into your pussy as your sweet taste helps alleviate some of the pressure he was feeling in his body. He canā€™t help but hump his hard cock into the mattress below the two of you, no doubt leaking pre and staining the sheets.Ā 
Law notices you begin to stir and squirm underneath his touch, so he gently places his hands on your thighs to keep you still while he lapped at your pussy as if he was desperately parched and your body was an oasis. Becoming increasingly aroused, more of your slick leaked out of your hole into Lawā€™s mouth which he greedily slurped up. The familiar flavor of you made his eyes roll back. He needed more.Ā 
Law pushes himself up and positions himself on his knees between your legs. He grabs his cock and strokes it a few times harshly before lining himself up with your weeping hole.Ā 
ā€œIā€™m sorry babyā€¦ā€ Law whispers as he pushes himself into you.Ā 
ā€œOhā€¦ā€ You sigh and your eyelids start to flutter.Ā 
Without giving you time to wake up, Law sets a punishing pace with his hips and hammers into your wet cunt. Your breasts bounce freely underneath Lawā€™s t-shirt and you rub your eyes involuntarily.Ā 
ā€œL-Law?ā€ You sleepily say as you gain consciousness and realize heā€™s on top of you and balls deep inside of you. You thought you were just having a sex dream but you were shocked to find your partner waking you up with his cock.Ā 
ā€œNeeded you nowā€¦ Had to take youā€¦ You looked so fucking good and I just couldnā€™t stopā€¦ā€ Law grunts out as he thrusts into you with everything he has.Ā 
ā€œFuckā€¦ feels so goodā€¦ā€ You whimper out, sleep still heavy in your mind.Ā 
ā€œShit, Iā€™m gonna-ā€œ Law huffs out before you feel him press hard into you. You then get the unfamiliar feeling of him shooting a heavy load inside of your walls.Ā 
ā€œD-did you r-really just-ā€œ You stutter. You feel his member still twitching and hard inside of you.Ā 
ā€œFuck why wonā€™t it go down?ā€ Law grits his teeth.Ā 
ā€œW-what?ā€ Before you had time to question him further, Law picks you up by your waist and man handles you onto your stomach, spreading your legs again to make room for him. He pulls your hips up and presses his dick inside you again, your tender hole seeping white liquid out and coating him.Ā 
ā€œShit! Law!ā€ You moan as you feel him hit your favorite spot from behind. He picks up a brutal pace as he fucks you. ā€œS-slow down, babe!ā€ You try to push a hand back on his abs to quell his fervor. ā€œIā€™m gonna-ā€œ
ā€œC-canā€™tā€¦ I canā€™t! Fuck!ā€ Law huffs as he grips your hips impossibly tight, surely leaving marks. You had never seen this animalistic side of your boyfriend and you couldnā€™t help how much it turned you on. You felt yourself hurtling towards the edge of orgasm embarrassingly quickly for someone who had just woken up.Ā 
ā€œAH!ā€ You yelp into the pillow below you as you cum, hard.Ā 
ā€œYes baby, this pussy is so fucking good, squeezing me so tightā€¦ā€Ā 
You were a babbling mess as Lawā€™s heavy thrusts send you into overstimulation.Ā 
ā€œGotta fucking fill you again, want you to drip for daysā€¦ā€
You whimper in response.Ā 
ā€œYeah youā€™re mine baby, all mineā€¦ gonna stuff you so fucking goodā€¦ FUCK-ā€œ Law almost shouts as you feel more hot liquid filling your insides, surely leaking out around his member.Ā 
Law rides out his second orgasm with a few more deep thrusts before he collapses over you and nuzzles his face between your shoulder blades.Ā 
Finally feeling relieved, Law pulls out of you tenderly before flopping on his back next to you on the bed, out of breath. You turn to your side and snuggle into him as he wraps his arms around you.Ā 
ā€œHappy Anniversary?ā€ Law says tentatively.
ā€œHappy Anniversary indeed. Was that my present?ā€ You giggle.Ā 
ā€œI cut you some flowers, left them in the kitchen, though.ā€ Law says as he strokes your hair.Ā 
ā€œWaitā€¦ what flowers?!ā€ You raise your voice as your head shoots up off his chest.Ā

Hey there, I have a specific Nat request! Natasha and the reader both come down with a nasty case of the flu but are determined to join the rest of the team on a mission. However, Tony, known for his germaphobia, firmly refuses and quarantines them in their rooms for their own good. Left alone in the compound, Natasha and the reader care for each other and grow closer as they bond over their shared illness. When the team returns, they find Natasha and the reader fast asleep together on the sofa, having found comfort in each other's company during their time of need.
Stuck With Me
Tumblr media
怚 Notes - I feel like I haven't written Nat in ages, I was meant to post this ages but never finished! Hopefully you enjoy :D 怛
怚 Pairing - Natasha Romanoff x Reader 怛
怚 Summary - You and Nat both get sick and can't go on a mission with the team. At least you can keep each other company 怛
怚 Wordcount - 2300 怛
怘 Check Out My Masterlist! 怙
ā•šā•ā•ā•ā•ā•ā•ā•ā• ā‹‡ā‹†āœ¦ā‹†ā‹‡ā‹†āœ¦ā‹†ā‹‡ ā•ā•ā•ā•ā•ā•ā•ā•ā•
It wasnā€™t supposed to go like this. The team was buzzing with excitement as they prepared for the upcoming mission, the air thick with anticipation and purpose. Everyone was in high spirits, except for yourself and Natasha, who were huddled together in the corner of the briefing room, looking utterly miserable.Ā 
A couple of days ago, the whole of the Avengers had been made to be some PR, and as such you and the rest of the team had spent the day interacting with the public. Everything had seemed fine at the time. Oh how thatā€™d change.Ā 
That morning, you had blinked slowly as you woke up and instantly regretted it. The first thing you registered was pressure, deep throbbing pressure nestled behind your sinuses snd temples. You rubbed your eyes and groaned quietly. This couldnā€™t be good.Ā 
Beside you, Natasha stirred, you could hear her groan too followed by a deep, rough cough as she pushed herself to sit upright. She cleared her throat and looked down to you, her expression noticeably softening when she took in your flushed features.Ā 
ā€œYou too?ā€ She asked quietly, you could tell from her voice she wasnā€™t feeling well. Her tone was quieter, more reserved. Not to mention the thick congestion which blurred her words.Ā 
You shivered and shuffled up to her, through the thin fabric of her shirt it was hard to miss how warm she felt and you let your head rest against her, ā€œYouā€™re warm.ā€ You mumbled, pushing the back of your sleeve against your nose as you felt it run a little.Ā 
"I think we caught something," Nat grumbled, her voice coming out raspy and sore.Ā 
"No kidding," You mumbled hoarsely in agreement, ā€œBut from where?ā€Ā 
She thought for a moment, eyes narrowing. "PR day. All those handshakes, the photos... people everywhere." She scrunched up her nose before she stifled a sneeze against the back of her hand,ā€Æ "Did you get your flu jab?ā€ She sniffled, the question popping into her mind. Sheā€™d been meaning to get hers but life was just busy and she hadnā€™t gotten round to it yet.Ā 
Your eyes widened and you gave her a knowing look, ā€œOh shit.ā€Ā 
ā€œOh shit indeed.ā€Ā 
**Ā 
If only this hadnā€™t happened today. Today, yourself, Nat and the rest of the avengers were meant to be setting off on a mission to Wakanda to assist in the ongoing vibranium crisis. It was to be an all hands on deck affair, every last pair of hands needed.Ā 
So instead of curling in bed where you shouldā€™ve been, the two of you decided it would be better to drag yourselves down to the meeting room and sit through debriefing like absolutely nothing was wrong.Ā 
You honestly donā€™t know how youā€™d thought that youā€™d somehow get away unnoticed. It was painfully obvious something was wrong. Natasha was as white as a ghost and couldnā€™t go more than a few minutes before giving into a liquid sniffle, all just to keep her nose from running. Just beside her, you were shivering, visibly and helplessly, all while you couldnā€™t stop beads of sweat from forming on your forehead.ā€ÆĀ 
ā€œOh no, absolutely not.ā€ Tony had almost yelped when he entered the room and caught sight of the pair of you, ā€œThese two are absolutely not coming anywhere near this mission.ā€Ā 
You groaned inwardly. Of course, Tony would be the first to notice. He had an uncanny ability to pick up on things he didnā€™t like - germs being at the top of that list.Ā 
Natasha didnā€™t haste to shoot him a glare, usually in any other circumstance this wouldā€™ve been enough to make him back off but the effect was ruined when her breath hitched and she immediately curled into her hoodie with a series of damp sneezes.Ā 
Tony visibly flinched, his hand already reaching for a sanitiser bottle he seemed to have materialized out of thin air. He pointed toward the door. "Out. You two are quarantined," He decided firmly in a tone that read there was no room for argument. "There's no way I'm letting you infect the rest of us, especially me.ā€Ā 
Steve and the others had arrived by this point and were murmuring agreement. Somewhere in between Steve trying to rationalise with an ever, stubborn Natasha and Tony shrieking about infection, Bruce had ran down to medical and grabbed a first aid kit.Ā 
When he returned, he kneeled down and pulled out a thermometer from the box. ā€œAlright, letā€™s see what weā€™re dealing with here.ā€ He reached forward to take her temperature but she held a hand out to stop him from getting closer.Ā 
ā€œWait.. I need to-ā€œ Her eyes fluttered shut as she quickly turned to the side, burying her face into the crook of her elbow just as a series of harsh sneezes burst out of her, ā€œHh'kshhh! Hih'tshh! Hehā€™ktsch!"Ā 
ā€œBless you.ā€ You murmured softly. You tried to close your eyes to get some relief from the throbbing in your temples but you jumped a little at the feeling of a thermometer being rolled over your forehead. You had forgotten that Stark had insisted on buying the fancy kind.Ā 
The device beeped its verdict and Bruce sighed, shaking his head in disapproval as he stood back up, ā€œNat 38.2, Y/N 38.5. In no way shape or form are either of you up for this. Youā€™re both at serious risk of dehydration. You need to rest.ā€ā€ÆĀ 
ā€œQuarantine. Both of you.ā€ Tony repeated though heā€™d noticeably taken a few large strides backwards. He pointed towards the door wrinkling his nose in disgust before looking up at the ceiling, ā€œFRIDAY, disinfect the room after they leave. Use the strong stuff.ā€ He exaggerated a shudder as Nat fell into a particularly rough coughing fit.Ā 
ā€œScratch that, disinfect everything theyā€™ve touched. I want this contained.ā€Ā 
The system announced a ā€œYes, sir.ā€ and you couldnā€™t help but groan in defeat. There was no way the two of you would be able to get out of the now and you shivered once more as you dragged yourself up out of the chair youā€™d being huddled in, pulling up Natasha to stand up next to you.Ā 
Natasha looked like she wanted to argue, but the effort of coughing left her too exhausted to put up much of a fight. Her posture sagged slightly as she stood, clearly feeling every bit as lousy as you did. You gently nudged her, signaling it was time to go, and she gave a reluctant nod. Neither of you were thrilled with the idea of sitting out on such an important mission, but it was becoming increasingly clear there was no way around it.Ā 
You caught Nat by the arm gently as she wobbled on her feet. Before the pair of you left, she shot Tony one more withering glare, though it had less of its usual sting. She stifled another sneeze into her elbow, her breath shaking as she sniffled miserably. Tony, ever the kind, sympathetic gentleman of course, took another step back, waving his hand in the air like he could physically push the germs away from himselfĀ 
ā€œWhat are we meant to do now.ā€ You mumbled after youā€™d left the room. When the others left youā€™d have the whole compound to yourself, usually in any other scenario the two of you would make good use of the alone time but there was no way either of you for feeling up for that.Ā 
"I don't know," Natasha rasped, her voice was sounding a little worse from coughing, "Sleep, I guess." She sniffed again, her nose still red from the constant sneezing and rubbing. ā€œOr we could stage a jailbreak. Sneak onto a jet before they leave.ā€Ā 
You chuckled quietly then coughed and chuckled again, ā€œSorry love but if you think weā€™re gonna be able to sneak past them while coughing up a lung then youā€™re more feverish than we thought.ā€ You reached out to rub her back when she started coughing again, ā€œBesides I donā€™t think youā€™re up to flying, do you?ā€Ā 
ā€œMaybe not.ā€ She rasped after catching her breath. The pair of you were just about to turn to make your way to your bedroom when you had a different idea.Ā 
ā€œHow about we grab some blankets and cuddle up in one of the living rooms, grab some supplies and camp in there? That way we can watch some movies or something if youā€™re feeling up to it.ā€Ā 
Natasha gave you a tired but grateful smile, her green eyes heavy with fatigue. "That... doesn't sound half bad," she admitted in a hoarse whisper, sniffling again as she rubbed at her nose with the back of her hand. "But if we're doing this I wanna rewatch the Star Wars movies.ā€Ā 
You shot her a knowing grin, ā€œMy, my. Natasha Romanoff, the great Black Widow is a secret nerd. Who wouldā€™ve guessed?ā€ That earned you a small nudge in reply and on the way, the two of you headed to a storage closet to grabā€ÆĀ 
as many blankets as you could carry without falling over whilst Nat grabbed a large box of tissues and headed off to get some medicine.Ā 
Youā€™d just settled down on the sofa of the common room when Nat shuffled in holding a bundle of things in her arms. Tissues, cough medicine, a thermometer, two hot water bottles and your matching water bottles.ā€ÆĀ 
Originally, you had seen them being sold in a little shop whilst you were out one day. A clear, hard plastic bottle but with a little cartoon of the Black Widow on it. Youā€™d bought it instantly and it had become the main bottle youā€™d use.ā€ÆĀ 
Of course Natasha had blushed with embarrassment the first time sheā€™d seen it but she couldnā€™t deny the action was adorable. So the next time she went out, she had gone out of her way to buy a matching bottle. This time one with a little cartoon of you in your fighting outfit.Ā 
She set the supplies down on the coffee table in front of you before flopping down on the sofa next to you, immediately she regretted letting go of her hot water bottle and grabbed it, cradling it for a moment as she got warm before tucking it under her hoodie.Ā 
ā€œYou need anything else?ā€ She shook her head and you cleared your throat before reaching to pick up the remote to start the first movie before handing it to her as you remembered that you had no idea which order the movies went in.Ā 
The corner of her mouth quirked a little as a smile played on her lips, ā€œEpisode IV, no prequels first.ā€ She began to explain why it was so important even though it went right over your head anyway, ā€œWe watch in release order, weā€™re not heathens.ā€Ā 
You nodded along, pretending to understand the logic of watching the Star Wars movies in release order, though to be honest, most of the reasoning had gone straight over your foggy, headache-riddled brain. She rambled on for a little, and you occasionally nodded to signify you were still listening until she eventually pressed play, and the familiar fanfare and iconic text crawl started to roll up the screen.Ā Ā 
For a moment, you both just sat there, quietly watching, the only sounds in the room the hum of the TV and the occasional sniffle from Nat. Her head slowly started to lean onto your shoulder, and without even thinking, you shifted slightly to let her rest more comfortably. The warmth from her hot water bottle radiated through her hoodie and into your side, a comforting presence.Ā 
"You okay?" You murmured softly, glancing down at her. She looked exhausted, her eyes half-lidded as they flickered between the screen and you.Ā 
"Mm-hmm," She mumbled, though her voice was so thick with congestion it came out as more of a hum. She snuggled in closer, her hand absentmindedly toying with the sleeve of your shirt. "This is perfect," She whispered hoarsely, her body sagging into yours with that telltale heaviness of someone about to drift off. She was perfectly still for a few minutes until you felt her chest rising suddenly as she sat up quickly and rubbed at her nose, ā€œF-fuck I-ā€ She tried to warn, luckily you knew what she needed but you still barely had time to pass her the tissues before she set off into a flurry of sneezes.Ā 
ā€œBless you,ā€ You replied softly after each one, watching as she blew her nose and gave you an apologetic lookā€Æafterwards which made you respond with a gentle kiss to her forehead, ā€œYou canā€™t help it love, donā€™t worry.ā€Ā 
The rest of the week was spent the same way, the two of you cuddled up on the sofa together. Youā€™d hold her close when she was shivering and sheā€™d periodically swap out a cloth to place on your forehead. Napping had become the biggest part of the day, the two of you sleeping with arms wrapped around each other. It had been during one of these naps when the team had finally arrived home. Clint had come clambering in, looking to kick back and watch some trashy TV after days of concentration but what he was met with instead was a huddle of blankets and two sniffly girlfriends tucked up in each other's arms.Ā 
He couldnā€™t resist snapping a quick photo, one which he totally wouldnā€™t use for blackmail in the future. He smiled softly as he saw how relaxed the both of you looked and quietly tiptoed out of the room, closing the door softly and writing a note not to enter. There was no point waking the pair of you up, not when you both looked so peaceful. Heā€™d simply wait to tease the pair of you when you were feeling better.Ā

Oscar's dialogue at the end is a message that I, as the author, want to remind you all. you've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it! happy reading love mimi
Tumblr media
Sometimes, it felt as though the world was out to get you. You faced the world and your flight, fight or freeze instincts kicked in. When you woke up, it seemed like it was going to be one of those days. That unexplainable feeling of nausea turning your stomach and an unexplainable headache pulled at the back of your head. Your jaw tensed as the nausea hit you in another wave and you forced yourself to roll over and close your eyes. Maybe if you could get back to sleep youā€™d wake up feeling better. Your mind however, had other ideas. Instead, deciding to send you down the spiral of impending doom - a lovely gift first thing in the morning. Thoughts whizzed through your head; Why did you feel so nauseous? Why did your head hurt? Had you forgotten something? What were your plans for the day and was that why this horrible feeling was creeping up? You sat up, accepting that you wouldnā€™t be falling back asleep and decided to get ready for the day. Perhaps a shower would help? The warm water was soothing as it rushed over you and whether it was the heat or the steam or the fact you were doing something to distract yourself, for a moment you felt a little better. Exiting the shower you decided that while the nausea had subsided, it would be a good time to start hydrating and maybe think about eating something. Your phone rang and dragged you from your internal rambling, ā€œHi baby!ā€ You smiled, despite the fact that your boyfriend couldnā€™t see you, ā€œGood morning angel,ā€ You could hear Oscarā€™s dopey lovesick grin through the phone, ā€œhow did you sleep?ā€ You set him down on loudspeaker as you got dressed, ā€œI slept okay! How about you?ā€ ā€œI would have slept better if you didnā€™t keep stealing the blanketsā€¦ā€ You gasped, ā€œI do not!ā€ Oscar laughed, ā€œYou absolutely do! One night Iā€™m going to record you for evidence.ā€ You giggled, ā€œYou do that baby.ā€ Oscar nodded then realised you couldnā€™t see him, ā€œIā€™m just calling to find out what you want for breakfast? I figured Iā€™d stop off at that little cafe that you like on my way home.ā€ You gulped, you had no clue what you wanted or how to decide, ā€œIā€™d love that, thank you handsome!ā€ You thought frantically for a solution, ā€œUhh you can choose for me! I trust you!ā€ There was a pause on the other end of the line, ā€œAre you sure angel?ā€ ā€œYup, mhm, so sure!ā€ ā€œO-okayā€¦ā€ After making Oscar promise to drive safely, you hung up.Ā 
You realised that for a moment while talking to Oscar, you hadnā€™t even thought about feeling anxious but it was as if that realisation had summoned the feeling back. All of a sudden your hands felt shaky and it was hard to focus on anything but the disconcerting feeling in your chest. Sitting down on the couch you did your best to control your breathing. Sometimes you wished that it would just turn into a panic attack and be done with. Anything would be better than this on-off-on-off situation. It was like feeling a sneeze that wouldnā€™t leave your body. Unsatisfying and unsettling.Ā 
The front door opening made you snap your head up and you realised that subconsciously you had been rubbing your hands on your sweatpants to try and get rid of the clammy feeling. You shook your head and smiled as Oscar walked through the door, you were just a little bit anxious, it was no big deal.Ā 
Oscar beamed at you as he entered the living room. He noticed that you seemed distracted and almost a little shifty. Your eyes kept darting around the room and your hands were absentmindedly picking at a loose thread on the hem of your t-shirt - a habit you usually despised because it had the potential to ruin your clothes. He said nothing, just walked through the room to the kitchen and placed down the paper bags filled with breakfast. ā€œYou okay there angel?ā€ You nodded at him but it wasnā€™t enough to reassure him, ā€œAre you sure?ā€ You nodded once more, why now of all times were you feeling sick again? You sat there grinding your teeth together and clenched your jaw, feeling too sick to open your mouth and reply. You wanted to reply, you really did! But your brain had decided that words were a step too far. ā€œDid you do something while I was out, hmm?ā€ Oscar joked but all it did was make you more anxious, ā€˜was he angry?ā€™, ā€˜was he going to shout at you?ā€™, ā€˜breakup with you?ā€™, ā€œCome on troublemaker, you can tell me!-ā€ ā€œNothing! Nothing happened! Now will you please stop asking.ā€ You snapped, immediately clapping a hand across your mouth in shock before the tears were welling up in your eyes. ā€œOscar Iā€™m so sorryā€¦ Iā€™m so sorry baby I shouldnā€™t have snappedā€¦ Please donā€™t be angry!ā€ You rambled a million miles an hour as your hands began rubbing and grabbing the material of your sweatpants again, not even realising your breathing had turned heavy and you were sweating. Oscar stood there in shock, he had never seen you like this before, was this because of him? He slowly approached you, not sure of the issue and not sure how to resolve it. ā€œItā€™s okay angel, itā€™s okayā€ He held his hand out to you but you shook your head, talking through a clenched jaw in the hopes it would help the queasy feeling in your stomach, ā€œHands sweaty.ā€ Oscar nodded, ā€œOkay then, can I sit next to you?ā€ You nodded, he gently took a seat next to you, careful not to jostle or jolt you, ā€œIs this a medical emergency?ā€ You shook your head, ā€œdo I need to call an ambulance?ā€ You shook your head once more, feeling like you wanted to cry.
How embarrassing that you were having an episode like this in front of your boyfriend after hiding it so well for so long. And even more embarrassing that you couldnā€™t tell him what was going on let alone why you felt the way you did, ā€œIs this a panic attack?ā€ You shook your head no. Oscar made a little ā€˜ohā€™ and sat quietly next to you, unsure of what to say or do. You took a deep breath and forced yourself to open your mouth, despite how heavy your tongue felt. ā€œIā€™m just a bit anxious.ā€ ā€œWhat about?ā€ You shrugged, ā€œNothing. Everything. Hard to explain.ā€ Oscar smiled at you through your one word answers and short sentences, ā€œWell I can wait, itā€™s okay.ā€ You nodded, hands starting to tingle with how long youā€™d been rubbing them against fabric and you winced as a sudden cramping feeling started in your stomach. Oscar seemed to notice your discomfort, ā€œPlease let me hold your hand angel, I promise I donā€™t care if itā€™s sweaty and you think itā€™s gross, I just want to help okay?ā€ You nodded, breathing deeply and letting him take your hand in his.Ā 
As soon as your hand was in his, his thumb was rubbing gentle circles over the back of your hand. A soothing motion that you let your eyes focus on. Watching his hands and how they moved, anything to keep your attention off of the anxious feeling.Ā 
As he sat next to you Oscar wondered how he should approach you to talk about this. Clearly there was something you werenā€™t telling him. He thought he knew what it was and he understood why you hadnā€™t told him. He knew that people got anxious, hell he was always anxious before a race, but he also knew that for some people it went beyond unsettling feelings. He guessed that thatā€™s what you were dealing with too. Heā€™d seen Logan feeling like this a few times and so he wracked his brain to try and remember what the American had told him was useful. How about distraction? It was worth a shot! ā€œWant to watch a film?ā€ You nodded, eyes still laser focused on Oscarā€™s hands. ā€œI knew you had a thing for my hands but you are allowed to blink you know.ā€ He joked, cracking the smallest sound of an exhale of laughter from you, that was a start. ā€œWhat film should we watch, hmm?ā€ He grabbed the remote to start flicking through options, his hand never leaving yours, but aware that there was enough space between you so you didnā€™t feel smothered. ā€œI think something cute and funny? Yes thatā€™s a goooood plan Oscar.ā€ You gave a weak smile once more as he talked to himself and he smiled at you, ā€œhow about Tangled?ā€ You nodded and he selected the film, settling back into the couch, head looking at you once more, ā€œDo you want to cuddle?ā€ You shook your head and he just shrugged, wanting to keep you as comfortable as possible,Ā  ā€œThatā€™s okay, you just let me know when you do, okay?ā€ You nodded and he squeezed your hand to comfort you, ā€œDo you want to sit back on the couch?ā€ Your body was still tightly wound and feeling like a live wire so you shook your head, physically unable to relax. And still all Oscar did was smile at you.
As the film started, you did your best to focus on it, finding yourself unable to stop smiling and releasing some of the tension in your shoulders at various points when your boyfriend spoke the lines along with the characters, with facial expressions. You watched on screen as Rapunzel and Flynn entered the Ugly Duckling Pub and you realised your body finally felt relaxed enough to sit back against the couch. Oscar silently breathed a sigh of relief, all he wanted to do was fix it for you but he knew that he could only do so much.Ā 
By the time the next song had finished, your body was subconsciously leaning against him. Your head rested on his shoulder and he gently tilted his head to rest on top of yours. You gave a little contented sigh. As you sat there, a wave of tiredness hit you, the physical symptoms and mental strain youā€™d been feeling since you woke up taking its toll. With Oscarā€™s warm body next to you and the comforting sounds of one of your favourite movies on screen, it wasnā€™t long before you felt your eyes beginning to slowly close. Oscar looked down at you and saw that your lashes had fluttered shut. He pressed a gentle kiss to the top of your head and let his own eyes slip shut.Ā 
When you woke up a couple of hours later, the TV was off and you were laying on the couch with a soft blanket covering you. You sat up and sleepily rubbed your eyes, ā€œOsc?ā€ You heard low music drifting through the door to the kitchen and you could hear Oscar mumbling to himself and humming along, cursing occasionally when pots and pans clanged together. He poked his head out from the kitchen door, ā€œThereā€™s my pretty girl. Good morning angel.ā€ He cooed at you and the way you blinked back at him sleepily. ā€œWhat time is it?ā€ ā€œItā€™s lunchtime! I was just reheating breakfast.ā€ You nodded, sitting up and pulling your knees up to your chest as he padded across the room to take a seat at the end of the couch by your feet, ā€œIā€™m sorry.ā€ Oscarā€™s eyes searched your face as you looked down at your hands in your lap. Oscarā€™s hand rested on your knee, ā€œAngel, you never have to apologise for something like thatā€¦ā€ He trailed off, hesitant to ask you his next question, ā€œdo you want to talk about it?ā€ You inhaled slowly, nodding, ā€œYeah I think I would.ā€ He gently nudged you with his elbow and you shifted back to let him sit in front of you, both of you sitting cross legged. He held his hands out to you and you took them with a shaky exhale.Ā Ā 
ā€œUmmā€¦ Iā€™m not exactly sure how to explain it?ā€ You admitted, your fingers playing with his own in an effort to keep yourself grounded as that familiar feeling of your shoulders tightening and nausea creeping up began to settle in. He followed your gaze, ā€œThatā€™s okay, we have all the time in the world. Explain it however you feel is easiest.ā€ You nodded once more, ā€œSo obviously you noticed that I was feeling anxious,ā€ He tilted his head to one side to show you he was listening as you continued, ā€œThatā€™s because I have generalised anxiety disorder. And the thing isā€¦ I feel like that most of the time.ā€ You admitted shakily, desperately willing yourself not to cry. If Oscar was surprised or taken aback he didnā€™t show it, instead just linking your hand with his and squeezing, encouraged you continued,Ā 
ā€œThere are good days and there are bad days but Iā€™m always anxiousā€¦ Thereā€™s this constant feeling of underlying panic or anxiety or this sense of impending doom.ā€ You looked up and noticed how Oscarā€™s eyes searched yours, willing you to understand that he wasnā€™t going anywhere, ā€œI feel nauseous, I feel shaky, my hands get clammy, sometimes itā€™s like I forget how to breathe, my head and stomach hurt for no reason, my head goes fuzzy and itā€™s hard to focus on anything but the feeling of how anxious I amā€¦ā€ ā€œBabyā€¦ā€ Oscar breathed, you gave him a watery smile, tears filling your lash line,Ā 
ā€œIt makes me irritable, it makes me bitchy, it makes me snap at people I love, it makes me sensitive and emotional, I cry a lot, I cancel plans at the last second, I keep to myself and I build my walls upā€¦ā€ You trailed off, meeting his gaze and noticing that his eyes were filling with tears too, ā€œSometimes it feels like Iā€™m two people. Me and my anxiety.ā€ You couldnā€™t help the way the tears fell with a choked sob, ā€œAngel, can I please please give you a hug?ā€ Oscar pleaded, itching to pull you into his arms and comfort you.Ā 
You nodded through your sobs, finally feeling the huge emotional release that had been building since youā€™d woken up. He reached for you, gently grabbing your arms and pulling you forward onto him. Falling back against the arm of the couch with you against his chest as you both stretched your legs out. He held you for what felt like forever, tightly wrapping his arms around you and stroking your hair, gently murmuring to you and kissing your forehead. When your sobs had subsided a little, he wiped your cheeks, ā€œMy sweet girlā€¦ā€ He gently pressed kisses across your face, relishing in the way your crying eased and you let out a little sigh after each one, ā€œThank you so much for telling me angel.ā€ He paused, ā€œCan I ask why you didnā€™t tell me before?ā€ He asked gently. You sighed, fisting his t-shirt in your hand as you fought the nervous feeling that made your stomach flip. His hand rubbed up and down your back in a soothing motion as he felt you tense up in his arms, ā€œIā€™m not mad at you baby, I just want to know what I can do differently in the future. Iā€™d hate it if you didnā€™t feel safe enough to come to me for help.ā€ You nodded, nuzzling into his chest, attempting to block out the world and focus on Oscar. Just Oscar.Ā 
ā€œEveryone Iā€™ve told has leftā€¦ā€ You mumbled sadly, ā€œHmmm?ā€ His voice was soft, like he didnā€™t want to scare you out of answering, ā€œI told a few people growing up, uni friends and stuff, and they would always answer with the usual ā€˜oh yeah I feel anxious tooā€™... Until I explained I had diagnosed anxiety disorder and then,ā€ you sighed, ā€œthen they would tell me it was too much for them to deal with, or they would get mad at me for ruining plans, or tell me to just get over it when I tried to talk to them about it.ā€ Oscarā€™s hold on you tightened a little as he felt a spark of anger burn inside him. How dare they? Anyone could see that you were trying your best, he gave you his full attention as you continued, ā€œI guess all of those things mean that I have a hard time opening up and trusting people with the knowledge of my diagnosis because itā€™s always backfiredā€¦ Please donā€™t be mad at meā€¦ I do trust you, I justā€¦ā€ ā€œHey,ā€ Oscarā€™s voice was low to ensure he didnā€™t trigger you, ā€œIā€™m not mad or disappointed at you baby, Iā€™m frustrated with myself for not noticing sooner.ā€ ā€œIā€™m pretty good at hiding it,ā€ you admitted, the two of you led there in silence for a moment before Oscar spoke again, ā€œWell Iā€™m beyond proud of you. For dealing with it everyday and for opening up to me.ā€ You tilted your head up to look at him and pressed a soft kiss to his jawline, ā€œThank you for listening.ā€ He smiled back down at you, ā€œOf course.ā€Ā 
You summoned up the courage to ask him the question that had been on your mind for a little while, ā€œH-how did you know how to help?ā€ Oscar breathed deeply for a second, ā€œThereā€™s someone on the grid who uhhh, struggles with the same thing. Theyā€™ve opened up to me and explained what helps them so I figured Iā€™d try?ā€ You pushed yourself up to look at him in surprise, ā€œSomeone on the grid?ā€ Oscar nodded, ā€œI wonā€™t say who, because itā€™s their thing to disclose and explain,ā€ You nodded, ā€œOf course!ā€ ā€œBut theyā€™re doing their best to work on things and ask for help and theyā€™ve been doing really well.ā€ Oscar made a mental note to ask Logan if he would consider talking to you. ā€œWell, Tangled was a great choice!ā€ You giggled as Oscar nuzzled his nose into your neck, ā€œYeah? I wanted to pick something that wouldnā€™t make you feel worse.ā€ You couldnā€™t help the way you threw your arms around him and cuddled into him, so thankful for him and the thought and care he gave to you. ā€œI love you.ā€ It was muffled against his chest but he knew what you wanted to say and so with a chuckle he kissed the top of your head, ā€œI love you too, angel.ā€
You stayed there for a moment before he was gently pushing you to sit up so he could look into your eyes, ā€œI want to say something.ā€ He hesitated and you nodded at him to continue. He gently held your chin with one hand, keeping you looking at him as his other hand found yours in your lap, linking his fingers with yours and squeezing, despite the way your hands were starting to get a little clammy again, ā€œYou may have anxiety disorder but itā€™s not who you are, baby.ā€ Your eyes widened, he continued, ā€œYou are not your diagnosis. There is so much more to you than that. You are kind and caring, youā€™re smart, youā€™re beautiful, youā€™re creative.ā€ Your heart melted at how passionately he was speaking. ā€œYouā€™re loved and valued by me and so many others, angelā€¦ I love you, the anxiety gremlin that comes with you and all.ā€ You giggled at how he referred to it, ā€œAnxiety gremlinā€¦ I like it!ā€ He smiled, kissing your nose, you scrunched it up and he kept talking, ā€œI know I canā€™t fix it and make it go away, believe me baby I wish that I could. But I promise that Iā€™ll be here through all the bad days and the good days. Iā€™ll do everything I can to make it easier and more bearable for you.ā€
You couldnā€™t help the way you started crying again, happy tears this time, Oscarā€™s thumb gently wiping them away, ā€œSo when youā€™re feeling up to it, weā€™re gonna sit down and talk about how I can help. What I can do when youā€™re having a bad day, the things we can do together, how you like to be distracted, how I can help when weā€™re out in public, maybe a codeword?-ā€ You giggled as he started speaking faster and faster, you stopped his rambling with a soft kiss, pressing your lips to his, your hand cupping his face, thumb rubbing over his cheek, ā€œThat sounds perfect baby, thank you.ā€ Oscar kissed you once more, pulling you into him, ā€œYou just let me know when youā€™re ready.ā€ You nodded, ā€œI will, I promise.ā€ ā€œGood! But for now, we still need to eat our breakfast!ā€

12:37 am ā€” gojo satoru; sashisu
gojo satoru refuses to drink his medicineā€¦
reblog to help gojo get better
Tumblr media
out of everything you could call satoru, you think dramatic takes the top spot. so when you wake up in the middle of the night, you listen out for what could possibly have waken you up.
ā€œkoff! koff! UGH!ā€ you recognized gojoā€™s voice from the dorm building behind yours.
oh my fucking god. you sighed. that morning, that idiot had to get sent to his dorm because he kept coughing every time yaga spoke. he sneezed and sniffled, so you assumed that he was actually ill and didnā€™t just decide to up his antics for no reason. besides, he was a little quieter than usual today.
you got up to put on a jacket and practically stomped to gojoā€™s dorm, where you were met with his open door and geto standing against the door frame.
ā€œsatoru, I told you the medicine wouldnā€™t be as effective later on.ā€ geto sighed. you noticed his socks. they were pastel with characters on them. you ignored it to yell at who probably gave it to him.
ā€œgojo! if youā€™re gonna cough just cough! you donā€™t have to yell after!ā€ you said before sliding one of gojoā€™s slippers. there that idiot was, laying down faced up with arms stiff on his side and his comforter raised up to his chin. ā€œare you playing dead?ā€
gojo groaned. ā€œguys.ā€ he sniffled. ā€œI think this is it for me. suguru, I always loved you. y/n, I did steal your marshmallows last movie night. shokoā€”whereā€™s shoko?ā€ he looked up, illness suddenly voided for a second until shoko appears behind you. her dorm is a couple doors from yours after all. the snow-haired drama queenā€™s head fell back on his pillow and his sickness returned.
ā€œeh, what?ā€ she muttered to him before stepping inside. gojo started coughing again.
ā€œare you contagious?ā€ you asked before shifting away from gojoā€™s bed. geto took the medicine he got from gojoā€™s counter and placed it on the latterā€™s nightstand.
shoko walked over and sat on his bed. she placed her hand on gojoā€™s forehead before snickering. ā€œyouā€™re burning up. you really are gonna die.ā€ she laughed.
you all chuckled, except gojo who whined again. ā€œcanā€™t you use reverse cursed technique on me shoookoooā€¦ā€
ā€œnope. Iā€™ve only done it on physical injuries. why wonā€™t you just drink the medicine?ā€ she took the plastic little spoon and wiggled it to gojoā€™s face for emphasis.
gojo screwed his eyes shut and shook his head like a child. ā€œdonā€™t wanna.ā€ if it wasnā€™t 12:37am on a school night you mightā€™ve found it adorable.
ā€œyou might really die, satoru.ā€ geto shot from the foot of gojoā€™s bed. he definitely woke up from his coughing and subsequent yelling, seeing as getoā€™s room is right next to gojoā€™s.
the next morning after your first class, the three of you gathered in the cafeteria and geto stirred up a plan.
ā€œheā€™s probably not drinking it because he thinks itā€™s bitter.ā€ you conclude.
suguru sipped on his tea. ā€œah, I know. thatā€™s why I got the honey flavor version.ā€
ā€œhow are we gonna force him to drink it? itā€™s not like we can force feed it to him.ā€ shoko shook her lollipop. you were just glad it wasnā€™t a cigarette.
ā€œheā€™ll just turn on his infinity. I think we have to ambush him.ā€ you laughed at the image.
ā€œgeto, summon a cursed spirit to hold him down.ā€ shoko joked.
the cold breeze practically slapped you while walking to the dorms. geto was sure your victim was still asleep. he had the spare key when you thought to take off your shoes for maximum stealth. the two followed.
geto stood in front of the door to block the light while you and shoko slithered in. it was dark except for the nightlight by satoruā€™s night stand. you could make out the important things. the untouched medicine, and gojo sprawled over his bed under his sheets. he faced the left side cuddling a pillow. tissues filled the trash can dragged by his bed and some on the floor. poor kid.
geto tiptoed to the other side of the bed where satoru was faced while shoko prepared the poison. you got in position across geto and stifled a laugh at shoko trying to break the seal as quiet as possible. she tiptoed next to you and nodded to geto.
ā€œsatoruā€ geto called out. ā€œsatoru, wake up.ā€
ā€œsuguā€¦ā€ gojo whined. he didnā€™t open his eyes. geto gestured for the syrup-filled spoon. shoko handed it to him promptly and again, you stifled a laugh at your plan.
ā€œsatoru-kun. aaah,ā€ geto opened his mouth. geto using ā€œ-kunā€ was too funny.
surprisingly, satoru opened his mouth slightly too. what the hell? this wasnā€™t even part of the plan. suguru took the spoon to satoruā€™s mouth.
shit, it would probably just spill out with the way he was faced, you realized. you lunged to push satoruā€™s shoulder to the right so that he would face up. you decided him choking on it was better than it spilling. because that way it would at least get in his mouth.
gojo woke up. he made eye contact with you and immediately tried to get up. he moved his hand to push yours off but you held his shoulders down with your weight and geto got all the syrup in.
ā€œMMGHFHG!ā€ gojo yelled with his mouth closed. he struggled against you, and you gave it 5 seconds before his strength took over and even less before he activated infinity.
ā€œgeto!ā€ you called and he took over your hold on sickoā€™s shoulders.
gojo started kicking, and you straddled his shins.
ā€œswallow!ā€ geto exclaimed as gojo tried to push his hands off. shit, this wouldnā€™t work.
ā€œgeto! get on!ā€ you yelled and geto straddled gojoā€™s stomach.
ā€œswallow it!ā€ suguru grabbed gojoā€™s arms and held them against the bed by his head.
ā€œHHNGNGGHH!ā€ satoru shook his head.
ā€œsatoru! itā€™s honey flavored!ā€ geto argued.
shoko laughed and you heard her camera shutter. she stood far enough to snap a picture and you realized what it looked like. you were straddling gojoā€™s calves while suguru was straddling gojoā€™s, uhā€¦ lower stomach with his hands pinned by his head.
then, as if on queue, the door opened. your heads snapped to the door and you saw your sweet (to you, at least) junior nanami for about .7 seconds before the door closed again.
you flew off of gojoā€™s calves. ā€œnanami! wait!ā€

this ended with a lot more stsg than I thought lol

Balance
Mob!Azriel x reader AU
A/n: I reread @thehighladywrites professor Eris series and it inspired this lil mob Az blurb. Ruhn week day 1 post will be out later today, love you guys šŸ’•
Warnings: guns, cold medicine
Tumblr media
Cracking your eyes open, the sting of dryness made you blink rapidly. The coolness of the bed and room made your runny nose worse along with your cough. Your chest constricted, that dry cough ripping at your throat.
You reached for Azriel, desperate to absorb his warmth to stop your shivering. Touching the cold sheets on his side of the massive bed your hand shakes.
Wiping the sleep from your eyes you see the digital clock on Azā€™s nightstand blares two in the morning in red numbers. Letting out a groan you pull the covers tight around your shoulders. You swear he was here when you fell asleep, maybe it was a fever dream? You were still fending off a one hundred degree fever so itā€™s entirely possible.
Azriel was probably working, like he always was. It never bothered you unless you truly needed him like right now. There was only one thing to do now. Make your boyfriend feel guilty by wearing your cutest tired pout and wrapping yourself in a fluff blanket.
Doing exactly that (wearing your extra fluffy slippers for good measure) you head downstairs to Azā€™s office.
You heard arguing through the cracked door, making you second guess your decision to interrupt Azrielā€™s work. But, you already walked all the way down here, so there was no turning back now.
Padding over to the door you peek through the opening to assess what you were about to interrupt. Azriel was fully dressed with Rhysand and Cassian flanking him, along with a few other ā€˜employeesā€™. They all faced someone you couldnā€™t see. A man, clearly begging for his life, vehemently insisting he did not have the information Azriel was seeking.
You should leave. This isnā€™t something Azriel would want you near.
But he was right there. And you were desperate for him to comfort you.
The interrogation continued as you stayed hidden behind the oak double doors, your thoughts still warring on whether to stay or leave. As one of Azrielā€™s men hands him his gun, your body makes the decision for you, of all things a sneeze gives you away. A small squeak coming from you as you try to hold it in. Everyone in the office freezes, shocked by the little noise. Azriel shoves the gun into Cassianā€™s chest, making his way to doors, his demeanor completely changing into the loving, caring Azriel you know. Pulling the door open lightly you stare up innocently at your boyfriend. Azrielā€™s concerned face staring back at you, ā€œSweetheart, whatā€™s wrong? Were you sick again?ā€ His tone was soft and worried. You step to move into him but Azriel forces you back a little, confirming that he didnā€™t want you to see whatever was unfolding in his office.
You shake your head, ā€œNo, I just woke up cold and needed you.ā€ Azriel lets out a sympathetic hum, pressing his lips to your forehead. You felt his frown at your still too warm temperature and your trembling shoulders under his arms.
Turning to his men Azriel orders them to finish working. Scooping you into his arms, Az makes sure to angle you to not see inside. Mother above, if must be gruesome in there.
On the way back to your bedroom Azriel whispers calming words to you, ā€œIā€™m sorry I wasnā€™t there when you woke up, my love. I thought the medicine would keep you asleep. Weā€™ll get you some more before you go back to sleep.ā€ He punctuates each sentence with a soft kiss to your temple.
Placing you on the bed with all the care in the world, Azriel slips the blanket from your shoulders, draping it over the end of the bed. Getting another pill from the bathroom he places it on your tongue, holding a glass of water to your lips as you take small sips.
Taking his suit off for the second time that night, leaving him in a pair of black boxers, Azriel climbs into bed pulling you close to his chest. You immediately feel relaxed. Your arms feel heavy as you wrap them around Azrielā€™s shoulder, sleep creeping back into your body thanks to the meds. ā€œThank you Azzy, love you sā€™much.ā€ You babble.
ā€œI love you more, sweetheart. Rest now, I promise Iā€™ll be here when you wake up.ā€ His focus is fully on you now. His work downstairs is long forgotten.

Scenario
"Hurts," you whined, holding your head in your hands. You sat up in bed, "Achoo!" you sneezed, reaching for tissues. Tears dripped down your cheeks from the pounding headache overwhelming your senses. "Want Caregiver Title," you sobbed, crawling out of bed only to stumble your way to their room. You sniffled, your plush toy tucked between your arms, "Hate, hate, hate," you grumbled, leaning against the wall.
Bang Chan
"Daddy," you sniffled, wobbling towards his bed. Chan furrowed his eyebrows, "Little one?" he rasped, squinting his eyes. "Help," you whined, crawling into his bed. Chan sat up concerned, "Help? What hurts? Are you okay?" he rambled, pulling you onto his lap. You whimpered, panting against his chest. Chan checked your temperature with the back of his hand, "No fever, good, good," he mumbled, pushing back your hair. You wrinkled your nose, "Hates it," you shivered, curling deeper into his chest. Chan cooed, "I know little one, I know," he whispered, kissing your forehead. You nuzzled his palm, "Feel cho achy, Daddy," you whimpered, panting from the lack of breath. Chan hugged you close, "Do you want medicine?" he asked, his heart racing within his chest. You shook your head, gradually melting into his hold, "Daddy enough," you whispered, feeling better that you weren't suffering alone but in your daddy's arms instead. Chan chuckled, "Anything for you, little one," he whispered, giving you a firm squeeze.
Lee Minho
You huffed, plopping yourself on the floor, "Mama," you rasped, head dropping from the sheer exhaustion. Minho hummed, "Cupcake?" he questioned, patting his bed to feel you but you weren't there. You sniffled, resting your chin on the edge of the bed, "Mama, look down," you pouted, wanting to be lifted. Minho turned around, eyes widening at your peeking tear-stained face, "What happened? Why are you crying, hm?" he asked, lifting you by your armpits. You nuzzled his chest, "Can't sleep, all huwts," you mumbled, slumping your body on his. Minho furrowed his eyebrows, "We'll see a doctor in the morning. Take this for now," he said, pulling a strip of painkillers from his drawer. You glared at the medicine, "It bitter," you whined, trying to crawl off his lap but your body ached to move. Minho handed you a water bottle, "No complaining, cupcake. The medicine will help," he said, smiling as you took them.
Seo Changbin
"Baba," you whispered, crawling under his blanket. Changbin groaned, wrapping his hand around your waist, "Agi?" he mumbled, rubbing your back. You whimpered, "Feel sickies," you said, pressing your throbbing head into his chest. Changbin opened his eyes, "You do feel warm, agi-ah," he rasped, touching your neck. "Hates sickies," you whined, clawing the sheets to cope with the dull aches. Changbin sat up, rummaging his drawer for something, "Luckily Baba still has a few," he chuckled, putting the fever patch on your forehead. You melted at the chill feeling spreading through your face. Changbin smiled, kissing your nose, "Feeling better, agi?" he whispered, stroking your hair. You nodded, "Is better," you said, nuzzling into his chest. Changbin rocked your body, patting your bum, "Sweet dream, my little agi," he hummed, coaxing you to bed.
Hwang Hyunjin
You sniffled, looking around Hyunjin's room for tissues. "Achoo!" you sneezed, face messy with snot. Hyunjin woke up the moment you got in, "Aigo, come here, lovely," he cooed, holding a tissue. You crawled onto his bed, tilting your head back. Hyunjin chuckled, wiping your face, "Did the flu bug catch you again, love?" he asked, lying down with you on him. You nodded, nuzzling his chest with your plush in hand. 'Hot, hot, hot,' you thought, rolling off his chest. Hyunjin rubbed your tummy, "Are you feeling warm, lovely?" he asked. "It hot," you grumbled, trying to find cold spots on his bed. Hyunjin chuckled as you squirmed, "I bought something recently that might help," he said, taking out a cold neck pillow. You shivered at the chill but eventually found yourself sleeping. Hyunjin cooed, "Goodnight, my silly little love bug," he whispered, keeping the blankets low enough for your feet to stay warm.
Han Jisung
"Appa," you hiccuped, nudging his shoulder. You whined, coughing into your hands with tears streaming down your face. Jisung's eyes grew wide, "Sweetheart, oh my dear sweetheart," he panicked, hands shaking as he checked your body for any physical wounds. You whimpered when he jostled you a bit too hard, head spinning at the motion. Jisung held back a scream when you almost fainted, "Appa's going to call Daddy okay?" he said, anxiety getting the best of him. You laid on the bed too tired to stop him, even though you rather have him stay. Jisung dragged Chan to his room, explaining from top to bottom. Chan checked your temperature, "It's just another sinus fit, they'll be alright after some rest," he said, sighing in relief that they didn't need to go to the ER. Jisung sighed, "Gave me quite a scare, sweetheart," he chuckled, ensuring you were comfortable enough to sleep.
Lee Felix
You crawled onto his bed, kneeling on the mattress. Felix stirred at the movement but stayed asleep. You stared for a second before bursting out into tears, "Mommy!" you cried, whining at the headache you put yourself through. Felix jolted awake, body moving before his mind could respond. You squeezed your plush toy, coughing violently as tears poured onto the comforter. "Mommy's here. Mommy's here," he rasped, shifting you towards him, your back to his chest. You sniffled, "Sickies huwt," you whimpered, curling up between his legs. Felix held your head to his chest, "Take deep breaths, sunshine," he whispered, nosing your hair. You mimicked his breathing, "Ah hah," you yawned, feeling sleepy. Felix chuckled, eyes barely open, "Let's go back to sleep, yeah sunshine?" he asked, laying you down. You preened, getting cosy under the comforters.
Kim Seungmin
"Dada up, wake up," you whined, hitting him with your plush toy. Seungmin grunted, pulling his blanket further up his neck. You sniffled, opening your mouth to bite his shoulder when he suddenly covered your mouth. "You know what I said about marks, munchkin," he grumbled, leaning against his bed frame. You whined, licking his palm in retaliation. Seungmin frowned, "What's the matter?" he asked, knowing you wouldn't come to him without a reason. You wrinkled your nose, holding back a sneeze. "Ah," Seungmin sighed, grabbing a tissue. You sneezed into it and laid on his chest. He chuckled, "Looks like the little munchkin got a cold," he teased, stroking your cheek. You nodded, trying hard to ignore the dull ache throughout your body. Seungmin hummed, massaging your arms and legs, "Just close your eyes, Dada will take care of you," he whispered, coaxing you back to sleep.
Yang Jeongin
You wobbled towards his bed, body aching and cold, "Ninnin," you cried, immediately waking him up. Jeongin got out of bed, holding your cheeks, "Are you feeling sick, angel?" he asked, looking at your red nose and bloodshot eyes. You nodded, leaning into his hold as he lifted you towards him. Jeongin cradled your body in his arms, "Shh, shh. Go back to sleep, my sweet angel," he whispered, humming a lullaby for you to hear. You whimpered, body aching with each motion but the gentle hum of his voice drew you closer and closer to sleep. Jeongin noticed, sitting by the edge of his bed to rock your weak body, "Everything is going to be alright," he whispered, kissing your forehead. You burrowed yourself closer to his body, melting into the warmth he provided. Jeongin chuckled, booping your nose, "Sleep well, angel. I'll wake you in the morning," he cooed, tucking you close.

Yuu was forgetting something, she knew she was. But sitting in her pjs on a Saturday morning, an over-filled bowl of sugary cereal in hand, she couldn't be bothered to really care.
It was shaping up to be a good day too. None of the staff needed her help with anything, her friends all had their club meetings, and the kitchen was stocked with easy-to-grab snacks for Grim. the cat monster himself had even started his homework on Friday night with minimal fighting. Literally, nothing could be wrong, but she still felt uneasy. They woke up feeling weary and oddly bloated.
With an inquisitive expression, she taps her spoon against her bowl. They really hoped they weren't going to spend all day in a strange sense of deja vuā€¦
Then she sneezed and everything made sense. Yuu blinks, moving back to pull the seam of their pj pants, looking down as they groan, "Ah, shitā€¦"
Tumblr media
Azul loved Saturdays, they were his biggest money-maker days. Students came to the Mostro Lounge either to get a head start on homework, grab a drink after practice or clubs, or merely have a freshly cooked meal. It also was the day he had most of his workforce available so he could spare the time to walk around campus or catch up on his own paperwork.
But, what he's trying to do was gather his courage and think up a plausible enough reason for him to go visit his date-mate. Not that he usually needed one, they were very vocal about how he was always a welcomed presence in their company.
But, Yuu had beenā€¦easily irked? Prickly? Upset. Yuu had been upset for most of the week but anyone who questioned their mood was quickly shot down. The prefect would then tensely state they werenā€™t mad and then questioned why people thought they were mad. Sure they had a very intense resting bitch face but who didn't at Night Raven? (He's fairly certain you needed to either be handsome or have the most terrifying resting bitch face to be admitted to this school).
So he wasn't too pressed about his date-mate's mood until Floyd said something. He had come into the back office pouting of all things, saying 'Shrimpy smelled off'. They had also punched him when the eel merman attempted to pick them up, which wasn't normal.
Jade handled his twin, trying to cull Floydā€™s decreasing mood, while Azul opened a few text chats to ask if anyone had caused Yuu reason to want to kill someone. The genuine confusion and concern that answered back only made him more uneasy.
Now, on a sunny Saturday, Azul made the long journey toward Ramshackle. With an obscure board game tucked under his arm and a bag of exclusive gummy candy in hand, he was on a mission to improve his dear pearlā€™s mood.
Or he was until he was suddenly being dragged down the dirt road in a different direction. He yelped and shouted, trying to angle himself to see what was pulling him through the mud and sticks. The answer was Samā€™s shadows, the black willowy wisps quickly yanking him into the shop and setting him on his feet. Azul looks down at his outfit, scowling at seeing the dirt and grass stains. Sevens, did he rip his slacks?
ā€œLil fish.ā€
Azul jolts, eyes wide and semi-fearful at Samā€™s echoing tone. The man stood behind the counter, a number of medical supplies laying across the surface as his nails gripped at the wood. Samā€™s eyes were wide, pupils pinprick as his amethyst orbs almost glowed under all the shadows. Speaking of shadowsā€¦Azul looks around the shop, feeling actual fear stir in him. The shadows were everywhere, zipping through the aisles, slithering in and out of the back room, and some were even racing out of the shop, ā€œUhā€¦Yes, Sam? H-how can I be of assistance?ā€ He didnā€™t stutter, he refuses to admit he stuttered.
ā€œDo you know what a pad is?ā€
ā€¦
ā€œLikeā€¦Like a notepad or-ā€
ā€œNO!ā€ Sam slams his fist onto the counter, the lights of the near-endless shop flickering wildly at the force of it. He rests his face in his hands, paying no mind to his makeup and hat that fell to the counter. Looking up, his intense stare was replaced with one of desperation, ā€œYouā€™re killing me here, kid. Look, if you know what a damn pad is, just tell me where to get one! I know you and the lil pup talk!ā€
ā€œI swear, I have no clue what youā€™re talking about, sir.ā€ Sevens, had Azul ever felt scared of Sam? He didnā€™t like this, why was his fellow businessman so frazzled? What kind of pad was he talking about? Why couldnā€™t he find it and assumed Azul would know where and what the damn thing was?
Sam groans, hands running furiously through purple-tinted lock braids. With a snap of his fingers, the wisps all stop. Either quickly entering the shop or bleeding into the shadows to hide once more, ā€œLook justā€¦Go see the prefect. They called me asking for sanitation pads? Thatā€™s the business name they told me anywayā€¦That and justā€¦a lot of pain potions.ā€
Azul clicked out of his confusion, growing nervous at the potions request, ā€œIā€¦wait are they hurt? Shouldnā€™t they be in the infirmary?ā€
ā€œI suggested that, but they insisted they didnā€™t need to go, just the potions. Iā€™m sending them over soon, Crewel is due to deliver my order in an hour or two. Iā€™ll send him over after ya once he gets here.ā€ Sam grumbles under his breath as Azul rushes out of the store. ā€˜Primadonna dog hates when I call him while heā€™s brewingā€¦ā€™
Azul pulls his phone from his pocket, sending a text to both Jade and Floyd. Yuu was in pain, they had requested something called a ā€˜sanitation padā€™? Whatever those were. By the name he could only guess they were used for cleaning of some kind. He sent the twins a message to meet him at Ramshackle ASAP, potentially 119 status. Yuu had always joked about the Octavinelle trio being the first ones theyā€™d call if they needed to hide a body. But, it seemed when it came time for them to actually make the call, the poor thing must have been overwhelmed. He could only think they had done it in self-defense, but the cause didnā€™t matter. There wasnā€™t going to be a body in a few hours.
Halfway through the woods to Ramshackle, he hears other footsteps hurrying to catch him. Looking over his shoulder, he raises an eyebrow at the extra amount of people, ā€œWhy are they here?ā€
Ace, Deuce, and Jamil all kept a quick jog behind Floyd and Jadeā€™s long-legged walk. Floyd rolled his eyes, pointing behind him with his thumb, ā€œI was at practice. Crabby and Sea Snake saw the text and wanna help lil Shrimpy tooā€¦ā€
Deuce raises a hand, "I saw them leaving the gym on my way to track practice. Yuu's my classmate and friend, it's only right I help them."
Jamil hisses under his breath, side-eyeing Azul as he sped up to walk beside him, ā€œPlus, theyā€™re my date-mate too, assholeā€¦ā€
Rolling his eyes, Azul sighed, waving Jamilā€™s attitude off, ā€œYes, yes. We can meet with Draconia later about our timeshare lover's crimes. But for now, we need to go and assist them with the dead body Iā€™m sure is on their property.ā€
Ace sighs, relaxing more as he leans back, arms folding behind his head, ā€œYuu finally did it, huh?ā€
ā€œI meanā€¦They can only threaten to murder someone so many times before theyā€™d snapā€¦ā€ Deuce pipes up, rubbing the back of his head, almost dreading getting blood on his uniform again.
Floyd giggled, ā€œI canā€™t wait to see who Shrimpy squeezed~. I bet they made it real messy!ā€
ā€œHmmā€¦I wouldnā€™t put it past Yuu to kill someone via strangulation. But their MO seems to lean more toward bludgeoning.ā€ Jade smiles to the group, eyes closing in barely hidden glee, ā€œIf anything clean up will at least be interesting if weā€™re just dealing with some blood splatter and a puddle!ā€
Ā Ace and Deuce wince, watching Floyd, Azul, and Jamil simply nod at Jadeā€™s examination.
The mood was instantly broken once they came into view of Ramshakle. Floyd and Jade tensed, their smiles dropping off their faces before racing toward the dorm as two teal-colored blurs. Azul shouted, only to choke on his tongue at the smell. Blood. His nose wasnā€™t anywhere as sensitive as Floyd's or Jadeā€™s but even at this distance, he could smell the sharp iron smell. He jogged to catch up with his dormmates, his expression of panic causing the other three to speed up as well.
All he could smell was Yuuā€™s blood. Sharp and salty, but spiced and sweet because of their diet. A hint of some type of alien fragrance that no one could place and Yuu couldnā€™t name mixing it all together perfectly. And that was all he was smelling, not even a hint of another personā€™s blood.
When the rest of the group had made it to the front porch, Floyd was pounding on the door, eyebrows creased while Jade searched the bushes for the hidden key, ā€œShrimpy! Open up! Shrimpy!ā€
Jadeā€™s fingers had just grazed the false rock when the doorā€™s locks clicked open. Floyd swung the door so hard it nearly sent Grim into the hallway wall. The feline monster kept to the ground, eyes wide and teary with fear, ā€œYuuā€™s bleeding all over everything and they wonā€™t tell me why!ā€
Deuce was the only one who had the mindset to scoop Grim into his arms, the rest of them instantly rushing up the stairs toward Yuuā€™s bedroom. The sound of their footsteps pounding on the floor echoing in the house, each of them calling out in panicked voices. Azul could only grow increasingly worried, the scent of blood growing stronger and stronger.
Jade slams the door open, Ace instantly diving into the bed and startling Yuu awake.
ā€œThe-The fuck- hello?ā€
Ace cupped their face, using what medical lessons Riddle had drilled into his head to see if they had a visible injury, ā€œYuu! Can you hear me? We were calling you all the way downstairs- Ay!ā€ He tumbles off the bed when Yuu shoves him aside, dark eyes glaring down at the redhead.
ā€œYeah, I was sleeping. Why are all of you in my house?ā€
ā€œWe smelled blood shrimpy!ā€ Floyd kneeled onto the bed, sniffing around trying to find the main source of blood. Ignoring or nipping at Yuuā€™s hands trying to shove his face away from her body.
Azul stepped forward, eyes roaming in barely concealed haste, ā€œSam sent me over. He was worried by a request you had called him about? Itā€™s sent him positively spiraling.ā€
Yuu raises an eyebrow, having given up on getting Floyd off their bed and wrapping an arm around him instead, ā€œYeah I was about to ask. Octobaby, what truck did you get dragged behind and did you at least get the license plate?ā€
Whatever positive flow of atmosphere that was building ended, Floyd grasping the duvet covering them and pulling, ā€œShrimpy, where are you bleeding-ā€
A single tug was all it took for Yuuā€™s bottom half to be flashed. They all look in stunned silence. Fresh red blood on a series of towels under them, a smear on the inside of their bare legs. Yuu shouts but none of them respond, minds spiraling at what could have possibly happened.
ā€œFloyd! By the Seven, Iā€™m not wearing any pants!ā€ Yuu snatches the blanket back, draping it over their legs with a huff. They turn to Floyd only to have their face gripped harshly. Floyd stared at them with a dead expression, his single golden eye almost glowing with the force of his anger, ā€œFloyd?ā€
ā€œWho?ā€
ā€œWha-ā€
ā€œWho?ā€
ā€œFloyd.ā€ Jadeā€™s hands come into view, pulling Floydā€™s grip off of their face and his brother off the bed. Jade was no better, a pleasant smile on his face but eyes wide and void of any emotion, ā€œItā€™ll do no good to pressure them into telling us. Let us let our two professionals deal with this. The two of us can brainstorm methods of...disposing of the unsavory culprit once we have a name or description.ā€
Yuu watched them slowly leave the room. Floyd just barely letting Jade pull him along as his expression started to finally morph into a look of anger. His fists clenched as he gritted his teeth, body so tense his movements were more shaky than his normal loose glide.
Looking beside them, Yuu catches eyes with Ace and Deuce. Ace quickly turned away, a hand covering his mouth as a single tear slid down his cheek and his shoulders shook. Deuce was no better, gripping Grim in his arms as he hiccuped softly with just barely contained sobs. He looked like he was fighting back the urge to go into 'delinquent mode'.
Jamil finally moves, a hand on each of Ace's and Deuce's shoulders, guiding them to the door. Softly pushing them out too once Jade had managed to pull Floyd out of the room, ā€œLet us talk to themā€¦Weā€™llā€¦weā€™re gonna figure this outā€¦ā€
Yuu watches stunned as Azul walks toward them as though he was approaching a wounded animal; softly, with just a hint of fear and pity, ā€œAzulā€¦Whatā€™s-?ā€
ā€œItā€™s ok.ā€ Jamil closed the door, still facing it so Yuu wasnā€™t sure if he was saying it to them or mumbling to himself, ā€œIt'sā€¦Itā€™s ok, youā€™re gonna be fineā€¦ā€
Azul had finally reached them and they could clearly see the unshed tears in his eyes, ā€œItā€™s not your fault. This is not your fault, do you hear me?ā€ He ran his fingers through their hair, his other hand gently cupping against her cheek as his thumb shakingly caressed their skin. He opens his mouth, closing his eyes while he sighs a shuddering sob. Gathering his wits again he opens his eyes, a fiery determination glowing in them, ā€œWeā€™re here for you, my pearl.ā€
ā€œWhaā€¦?ā€ Yuu could only wrap their arms around Azul, the merman diving to embrace her in what had to be the most protective hold he could do with just his two arms. It felt safe and sturdy, like a cool blanket was wrapped around their body. While it was welcomed, Yuu only grew more confused feeling a wet spot start to form on their shoulder where Azulā€™s face had snuggled into, ā€œIā€™mā€¦very confusedā€¦ā€
ā€œYuu.ā€
If Azul wasnā€™t holding them, they would have jumped off the bed. Jamil stood right next to them with a blank expression. His face pulled into a mask of neutrality, but his eyes were steely, an ice-cold fire in them waiting to find a victim.
ā€œWho. You can tell me, you can trust me. Weā€™ll handle everything, you won't even have to look at the bastard unless you want to beat him to death yourself.ā€ He kneels on the bed, his hand moving to touch her covered thigh before retreating, a pinched expression breaking his mask before it was back in place, ā€œYou have to tell us who did this to you, hayati.ā€
Did what to them?
Yuu stared at Jamil, blinking when he finally had to look away to bite his lip. He looked to be holding back tears, fully turning around to put his face in his hands to mutter under his breath. ā€˜How could he let this happen? Why couldnā€™t he have just one thing with nothing to ruin it?ā€™ a teary sob of ā€˜Do they not trust him?ā€™
ā€œMy pearl?ā€ Azul pulls his face away from their shoulder, sniffling before he removes his glasses briefly to wipe his tears, ā€œDo youā€¦Would you like me to draw you a bath? This canā€™t be comfortable-ā€
ā€œAzul!ā€ Jamil whipped around, glaring at the merman, sparing them a worried glance before turning back to Azul and whispering heatedly, ā€œThey canā€™t take a bath until they get checked, you moron!ā€
ā€œWhatā€™s there to check Jamil!? We can all clearly see what happened! Why put them through the extraā€¦extra poking and defilement when we know what happened!?ā€
ā€œBecause we need evidence!ā€
ā€œWhat we need is a name! Or a description! Iā€™m not even going to entertain the idea of bringing this to a court. We have plenty of manpower on campus to bury whoever did this 12 times over.ā€
ā€œExcuse me, what the fuck are you guys talking about?ā€ Yuu spoke up, eyes glancing between the two of them, ā€œBecause if you mean the bleeding, thatā€™s pretty standard at this point.ā€ Maybe they justā€¦forgot they had a vagina? Boys normally didnā€™t react well to period talk in the first place, but this was an all-boy school and Yuu was more non-gendered than female-gendered. Maybe they just honestly forgot.
But, what they said had only made things worse, both Azul and Jamil looking at them in absolute horror. Standard. This was normal. This had happened multiple times already.
Azul starts to openly sob, wrapping himself around them in a way to keep everything else away, nuzzling his head into her neck and whimpering out apologies. Jamil covered his mouth, a look that Yuu could only call devastation on his face before he stood from the bed to pace the room. Mutters grew in volume and speed before Yuu finally realized what they thought had happened.
ā€œOh. OH!ā€ They quickly pull Azul from their neck, hands pressed to both his cheeks to keep him looking into their eyes, ā€œSevens! Guys no! That isnā€™t what this is, I promise! No one hurt me like that!ā€
ā€œYou expect us to believe that!?ā€ Jamil turns on them, eyes wild and red with held-back tears. He gestures to the bed, alluding to the mess of blood under the covers, ā€œWhat else could this possibly be!? Why are you trying to defend them!?ā€
ā€œJamil, Iā€™m on my period!ā€ Yuu looked back at Azul once her words seemed to hit Jamil, ā€œItā€™s just my period. No one hurt me. Iā€™mā€¦well, not fine. Periods are a bitch. But not thatā€¦I swear it wasnā€™t that.ā€
No one made a sound past Azulā€™s labored breathing, the mermanā€™s expression slowly morphing from one of despair into confusion. Once his breathing was finally under control, he pulled Yuuā€™s hands from his face, a single brow raised, ā€œYourā€¦your period?ā€
ā€œYeahā€¦Itā€™s just my period.ā€
Jamil pulls a face, eyes looking down as his brain worked to understand what Yuu was saying, ā€œ...Like the punctuation?ā€
Yuu frowned, turning to Jamil, ā€œDonā€™t you act fucking dumb with me.ā€ They press a kiss to Azulā€™s forehead, letting him slump against their chest, not seeing the gears turning in his head, ā€œYou and your sister are basically the same petty soul shared between two bodies. You know what a period is Jamil.ā€
The two mages catch eyes across the room, bothā€¦so painfully confused. Azul takes his time to finally untangle from Yuu, giving a small smile and patting hesitantly at the blanket, ā€œO-okayā€¦A periodā€¦right?ā€
At Yuuā€™s annoyed nod, Jamil sniffs, checking that he hadnā€™t cried before looking over to the door, ā€œAndā€¦Najma will know. Youā€™re sure she will?ā€
ā€œI mean basically every girl gets a period so I would think so Jamilā€¦ā€
The two boys share another look, communicating in a way Yuu hadnā€™t learned to do with them yet before they turn back to them with those soft, weak smiles. Azul caresses their face again, saying they should go back to sleep and that someone will bring up something to eat later on. It was slow, they clearly didnā€™t want to leave, but they both closed the door behind them. They share another look in the hallway, nodding before moving to regroup with the others.
The contained chaos they walk in on was almost comical if the reason wasnā€™t so mortifying. Jade had a hand gripped on each of Floydā€™s shoulders while they took up the loveseat, whispering to the taller eel as he held him back. The whispers growing in intensity as his eyes widened in manic glee every time Floyd growled and moved to pull out of his brotherā€™s hold. Ace was leaning against the wall, anger clear on his face as his nails bit into his forearms. He was the only one who looked up when they walked into the room. Deuce sat on the couch, curled around who they could only think was Grim, his shoulders shaking with barely contained cries.
Ace speaks up first, calling everyone elseā€™s attention to their entry, ā€œWell? Whoā€™s the bastard weā€™re hunting down?ā€
Jamil and Azul pause, Jamil looking to the side and sighing, ā€œThey say nothing happened-ā€
ā€œTheyā€™re lying!ā€ Grim cries from Deuceā€™s arms.Ā 
The spade Heartslabyul soldier sniffles, raising his head to look from over the couch, ā€œGrim said theyā€™ve been bleeding since this morning. From before he woke upā€¦ā€
Jamil pulled out his phone, already dialing his sister, ā€œThey said Najma would know whatā€™s going onā€¦They wereā€¦so sure nothingā€¦happenedā€¦ā€
Ace opened his mouth to yell only to be cut off at the sound of Najma picking up the line on speakerphone.
ā€œJamil? Whatā€™s wrong, you never call me?ā€
ā€œ...ā€ Jamil gulped, gripping his phone before speaking, ā€œNajma, I need you to be completely honest with me. Swear on your life levels of seriousness. Do you know what a period is?ā€
ā€œ...Like the punctuation?ā€
Azul bit his lip, a hand moving to cover his mouth and start to pace around the room. He walks closer to Jade and Floyd to explain, the two eels listening to his quick words in clear confusion.
ā€œIā€¦Najma, something happened. Is itā€¦normal toā€¦ā€ He let out another sigh, almost wishing it would take his soul with it, ā€œIs it normal to bleedā€¦out of your vagina?ā€
The beat of silence almost gave Jamil hope. Maybe it was some super secret girl thing that no male was allowed to ever know about. Maybe everyone in the room would have to be killed once Najma confirmed its existence. He knows he would at least prefer that over the alternative.
ā€œJamil, what the fuck? No!? No, that's not normal!? Jamil who do you know thatā€™s bleeding out of their-ā€
ā€œDonā€™t have time, Iā€™ll call you back once this is all settled.ā€ Heā€™s never hung a phone up so fast. It quickly rings again, but he just declines Najmaā€™s call and silences his phone. Now looking around, everyone else in the room is just as confused if not more so than he and Azul were.
ā€œ...What?ā€ Jade tilts his head to the same degree his brother does while they both study Jamil, each trying to findā€¦something in the conversation they just heard.
Azul spoke up, leaning his elbow against the fireplace, a hand coming up to rub at his temple, ā€œThey said they were simply on their period and that this was normal. They were also very certain Najma would confirm this sentiment, claiming it was a natural thing girls did.ā€
Deuce sat in thought, his brain working overtime to try and piece together the information they had, ā€œMaybeā€¦Uhā€¦Wait, I can ask my mom!ā€
ā€œWhat is your mom gonna know, Deuce!?ā€ Ace hissed, more frustrated than actually angry.
ā€œI donā€™t know, sheā€™s like...an older girl? Maybe she knows more about it than Najma would?ā€
ā€œ...ā€ Jade looks toward Azul with a shrug, ā€œItā€™s another source of information. Weā€™re literally going in blind with this.ā€ He looks down in worry, feeling Floyd relax in his arms. His brother wasnā€™t calm by any means, more so his mood had finally reached so low that his homicidal urges couldnā€™t properly latch onto it. He just kept Floyd in his arms, holding his taller brother under his arms as though he was a cat.
Deuce pulls out his phone with one hand, the other keeping a grip on Grim as the monster whines. It only took a very rings before the phone was answered again.
ā€œHi, Deuce! I was just about to send you a text. I found this new cafe and they make the cutest parfaits-ā€
ā€œMom, thatā€™s cool. Send me a picture later but. Umā€¦I got a really weird and private question to ask you-ā€
ā€œDeuce, we talked about this sweetie. Thereā€™s nothing wrong with liking certain things-ā€
ā€œNOT THAT, NOT THAT!ā€ He blushes, quickly cupping his phone away from view of the others. He whispers his question into the receiver, waiting with bated breath when the other line was quiet.
ā€œSweetie. Am I on speaker?ā€
ā€œUh, yeah?ā€
ā€œThat isnā€™tā€¦that isnā€™t something that should be happening. Is thisā€¦Deuce, is this about your friend Yuu?ā€ At the affirmative, she continued, ā€œI know you said they werenā€™t from aroundā€¦anywhere really. But you boys need to tell your teachers about this. Whoever told them this was normal lied to them.ā€
The nervousness returns, everyone sharing a look, Deuce thanking his mom before hanging up the phone. Pass the stray sigh or muffled rambles no one spoke, each one of them was scared to voice their theories. Everything easily pointed towardā€¦assault. But Yuu was such a level of certain that it was hard to deny the doubt that grew at the idea. There were magical ways of getting the truth out of people, they had Jade and Jamil, so it wouldn't be hard. But none of them wanted to break the trust Yuu had given to them. Not to mention the small chance that something did happen, and forcing Yuu to recount the horrible situation was cruel even by Night Raven standards if they were trying to actively suppress it.Ā 
It seemed like they sat in silence for hours before they all heard the front door slam open, footsteps quickly stepping through the hall before a signature black and white coat filled the doorway. Crewel stood with one hand on his hip, the other impatiently tapping his crop against his leg.
ā€œOk, whatā€™s going on? Iā€™ve had students running around terrified from Samā€™s shadows. I go to see Sam to ask about it and he informs me that he sent you runts to check on my puppy.ā€ Crewel looks around the room, his frown turning into a scowl before he schools his expression again, ā€œAnd there's no sign of my puppy in this pack of dogs, so whatā€™s happened?ā€
After a prolonged silence, Ace groaned, deciding to bite the bullet since no one else wanted to, ā€œYuuā€™s bleeding fromā€¦from their vag and won't tell us why.ā€
ā€¦
ā€œ...ā€ Crewel stepped to the side, light gray eyes seeming to look past all of them while he used his crop to point down the hall, ā€œGet out.ā€
ā€œSensei-ā€
ā€œGet. Out.ā€
The scramble they did out of the room was like a pack of dogs released into the wild, each of them refusing to meet the glacier-level stare of their teacher as they ran past. They didnā€™t leave Ramshackle property, choosing to instead stand outside and wait to be fully dismissed.
Crewel took the stairs two at a time, flinging Yuuā€™s bedroom door open. The sound of it slamming into the wall made Yuu groan in protest. He walks to the bed and sits, a hand instantly brushing their bangs back to alert them to his presence. He couldn't tell through his gloves, but they had seemed flushed, ā€œPuppy? Puppy, talk to me. What's happening? I canā€™t help if I donā€™t know whatā€™s wrong.ā€
Yuu hums, just barely getting back to sleep before Crewel woke them up again. A hand pressed to their lower stomach and grumbled, ā€œHmmmmā€¦.Periodā€¦ā€ ā€œ...Pup. Whatā€™s a period, explain it to me.ā€ He keeps his hand in their hair, petting in a way to soothe both of them if needed. Period, Yuu clearly wasnā€™t talking about punctuation. All his mind could reach then was that period was speaking of a state of time. Meaning this was something that happened on some type of schedule.
Groaning, Yuu sits up, letting her head rest against Crewelā€™s shoulder, ā€œPeriod, monthly bleed and all that. Itā€™s girl stuff, you know biology, Crewelā€¦ā€
Taking her in his arms, Crewel rubs at their back. Monthlyā€¦Itā€™s at times Crewel is made painfully aware of how lacking he and the rest of Night Raven College were in knowledge about Yuuā€™s biology. ā€œYuuā€¦Thatā€™s not a thing in Twisted Wonderland.ā€ He can feel the moment they tense up, letting them pull back to look at him.
Yuu stares at their pseudo-father, eyes searching for some sign of the past hour being nothing but a really bad joke. Seeing none, they feel a cold realization hit, ā€œOhā€¦Well, this is gonna be a real interesting timeā€¦ā€

Thoughts while in my cold medicine induced haze
Prompt: how absolutely terrible the Marked Ones would be at taking care of you. Because they canā€™t be perfect at everything
Xaden:
The fault: too overprotective
ā€œTell me again,ā€ he asked, ā€œwho were you with yesterday?ā€
ā€œHuh? Xaden, why?ā€ You grumbled hoarsely while pulling the covers up to your chin. It had been ten minutes since Xaden came into your room with a cup of tea and all of it was spent asking weird questions. The bedside manner this man had wasā€¦questionable. Pun intended. You just wanted him to snuggle and pamper you, was that too much to ask?!
ā€œThat Ridoc kid was sneezing this morning. Didnā€™t even cover his mouth,ā€ he explained. He stood up from the edge of your bed, practically pacing. ā€œSaw him yesterday didnā€™t you? I knew he was behind it.ā€
ā€œLove. Please just lay with me.ā€
He grumbled while laying next to you, his arms wrapping around your waist. Finally. This was the comfort you were seeking. You begsn to close your eyes and settle for a nap.
ā€œā€¦want me to stab him a few times for you?ā€
Oh for fucks sakes! You let out an annoyed groan and threw the covers over your head, not before throwing Xaden and his ridiculous theories out of your room for the rest of the afternoon.
Garrick:
The fault: too handsy
ā€œThank you so much for the tea, Garrick.ā€ You mumbled from the nest of covers you were under on the bed.
ā€œAww, you say my name so cute when youā€™re all stuffed up like that.ā€ He smirked while sitting on the bed next to you. ā€œYou know, you look really hot for being sick as shit.ā€
You narrowed your eyes at him. Was he serious? You were in the middle of a cold sweat, ā€œI havenā€™t even showered today.ā€
A glint if mischief appeared in his eyes, ā€œdirty girl.ā€
ā€œEnough. Keep it in your pants Tavis, Iā€™m sick!ā€ Gods, normally you would find his libido and teasing tolerable but today? not the day.
But this was Garrick. It was a losing battle, ā€œYouā€™re so hot when you order me around like that. Iā€™m kidding - donā€™t look at me like that. Just get some sleep okay?ā€
You rolled away from him and closed your eyes, hoping a nap would make you feel any bit better. After about an hour you woke, rising from the bed to head to the bathroom. You walked past Garrick who was lounging on a chair by the washroom door. It was nice he stayed with you while you slept. But that affection quickly ended once you felt his hand careen against your ass in a playful slap.
And while youā€™d normally find love taps like that endearing, you decided to return the favor and throw Garrick out of your room on his own ass.
Bodhi:
The fault: none! Angel this one is
Though, heā€™s probably such a hovering partner lolol
ā€œI got your tea, love.ā€
ā€œThanks Bodhi.ā€ You smiled at him while snuggling into your sheets. Now that you had some tea a nap wouldnā€™t be too far off. Just want you need.
ā€œOf course. Need anything else? A book?ā€
ā€œNo, darling. Iā€™m good.ā€
ā€œFluff your pillows?ā€
ā€œYouā€™re so sweet. Iā€™m fine.ā€
ā€œNeed some more medicine?ā€
ā€œAll good.ā€
ā€œWant me to get you lunch? Have you eaten?ā€
ā€œNo, and yes. Iā€™m all set.ā€
ā€œNeed a massage?ā€
ā€œNo.ā€
ā€œWant some help reorganizing your blankets?ā€
ā€œBodhi.ā€
ā€œCan I get you some water?ā€
ā€œPlease-ā€œ
ā€œCan I help you clean up in here?ā€
You groan and throw the blankets over your face as you attempt to silence the sounds of his questions and the other noises as he began to clean your room.

Vol 1 Vol 2 Vol 3 (Not Required) Vol 5 Vol 6 Vol 7 Vol 8 Vol 9
Salaryman!Kento x Housewife!Reader
When you get sick...
Word Count: 1.1k CW: SFW, Domestic Fluff, fem!Reader, Y/n is sick, Nanami takes off his shirt (nondescriptive)
A/n: Maybe you should meet Gojo sometime soon... idk... thoughts.
You mostly stayed inside the confines of your home, so getting sick wasnā€™t a common occurrence.Ā 
Food was always prepared well, with vegetables washed and meat cooked properly. The house was regularly dusted and vacuumed, sheets and pillowcases thrown in the washing machine at least once per week.Ā 
Nanamiā€™s routine had certain protections as well, sitting a comfortable distance away from clients and coworkers while at meetings, and being in a partitioned office space in a quiet corner of the building during the work day.Ā 
Despite these things, the sudden cold front seemed to disagree with your immune system, as you were now snuggled up in bed with a box of tissues.Ā 
ā€œKento, darling, I can sleep in the guest bedroom, itā€™s fine,ā€ you argued through your sniffles and occasional cough. He walked over to the side of the bed and pushed a few more pillows under your head. ā€œItā€™s fine, it would take too much work to move things. Youā€™re tired, so go to sleep,ā€ he muttered, a slight chuckle leaving his mouth at your willingness. ā€œYou know Iā€™m perfectly alright with sleeping here with you, you know,ā€ you lightly pushed him away as he sat on the bed. ā€œYouā€™ll get sick too, and you have work,ā€ you grabbed another tissue.
ā€œI could always take some time off, I have some sick days in my contract,ā€ Nanami smiled, feeling your forehead. ā€œIā€™m glad you can still take care of yourself, but Iā€™m here too. Just rely on me a little, Y/n,ā€ he stood up and left to grab you some water.
It was the evening after a long day at work, when Nanami found you in an unwell state. Dinner on the stove was half cooked, sitting there, as you had quit for his sake when the sneezing onset. His poor wife, already asleep and shivering on the couch by the time he got home.Ā Ā 
Nanami picked you up, your arms wrapped lazily around his neck as he carried you to your shared room and laid you down. You woke up shortly after the covers were pulled over your body, head peaking out from the growing mass of blankets and pillows surrounding you. Two more were still awaiting their place behind your head.Ā 
Now he was in the kitchen, turning on the stove to medium high and clicking the start button on the timer, which was already set to the final 15 minutes it needed until done. You had already felt a bit off that morning, something that he kept in mind all day, especially as he rushed home. Hence, a simple chicken soup was on the menu.Ā 
He filled up a big glass with water, and took out two bowls from the cabinet, moving back to stir the soup that was bubbling.
You closed your eyes, enjoying the smell of soup that floated through the air. Dinner would be ready soon, so there was no point in going back to sleep, not that you werenā€™t close to dozing off already. Nanami came back clearing the nightstand of clutter and setting the box of tissues on the bed next to you. A chair was pulled up next to the nightstand, and two bowls were placed on it.Ā 
You sat up comfortably, still surrounded by cozy blankets as you met your husbandā€™s gaze. ā€œI hate to admit it, you seem so miserable, but youā€™re very cute when youā€™re sick,ā€ he laughed as you blushed. ā€œI am not, Iā€™m quite disgusting actually, darling,ā€ you pointed to the pile of used tissues sitting in the garbage can. ā€œI donā€™t think itā€™s disgusting at all, my love,ā€ He grabbed your hand softly, and guided it to your spoon.Ā 
ā€œThe soup is delicious, youā€™ll feel better if you eat,ā€ he watched as you brought a spoonful to your mouth, a soft hum left your lips in agreement, it was quite good and easy to finish.
ā€œThank you, Kento,ā€ you smiled, pulling the blankets off as you stood up to get ready for bed. ā€œNo you donā€™t,ā€ he grabbed your waist and pulled you back onto the mound of pillows. ā€œIf you need something, I can get it for you,ā€ you frowned, letting out a few coughs. ā€œBesides I wonā€™t be here tomorrow during work, so you should rest up while I am.ā€ He stacked up your dishes and left, returning shortly.
ā€œWhich nightgown?ā€ he asked, rifling through the dresses in your closet. ā€œThe pink short one,ā€ you replied softly, voice slightly rough from your sore throat. He grabbed it and brought it over to you. ā€œDo you need help changing?ā€ He asked plainly, as you laughed. ā€œI can do it myself, Mr. Nanami,ā€ He sighed in defeat, unbuttoning his shirt to get ready himself.
ā€œWell I donā€™t want you getting off this bed.ā€ You shook your head in disagreement. ā€œI still have to brush my teeth,ā€ you whined, as he left you to finish getting ready in the bathroom, on your own, as he wiped down the nightstand with a wet cloth and changed.Ā 
You came back, dressed for bed with your hair tied up in hopes of keeping cool throughout the night. Tossing yourself onto the blankets, you crawled under the covers enjoying the comfortable mattress the two of you had bought together.Ā 
Nanami leaned down from beside the bed, his hand under your chin lifting your face, as he gently kissed your forehead. ā€œIā€™m glad you donā€™t have a fever,ā€ He murmured, lips still close to your skin. ā€œI probably just have a cold, I guess,ā€ you responded, snaking your hand down to grip his free one. ā€œYou should still stay away from me,ā€ Nanami backed off from you, sitting down.Ā 
ā€œI donā€™t mind getting sick, it causes no problems,ā€ he offered with a smirk. ā€œBut if you do really care so muchā€¦ Iā€™ll offer a compromise,ā€ a look of surprise overtook your face as you awaited his proposal. ā€œAt least I get to sit here until you fall asleep, hmm?ā€ you nodded, still longing for his presence, even at a distance.Ā 
He kissed your cheek as you drifted to sleep, a smile still on your face and your breath slow and heavy as he could hear the congestion.Ā 
ā€œGoodnight, my love,ā€ he sat still, lounging back into the chair. Little did he know it would be two more hours of watching you before he himself fell asleep, still sitting in that chair by your side.

Can I request one where Lampert and reader were friends with Kasper aka infected before he got well infected, basically the reader kept hanging out with infected and ended up getting infected too and they end up going to Lampert because they are still them atleast for a bit. angst definitely but you could make it have a fluffy ending
"I put more tape on those posters, Kasper. I'm sure Poptart will turn up soon."
"Thanks for doing that, bro. But...who's that?"
"Huh? Poptart is-"
"No, "Kasper". Isn't he like...the friendly ghost or somethin'?"
"Um..last I checked that was your name."
"Nah I'm pretty sure it's Infected." Kasper, or rather "Infected" as he apparently started calling himself, just shook his head before turning back his computer. He was in the midst of a gaming session, the round beginning as he tried staying focused.
You, on the other hand, just sat on the beanbag chair in his room, confused as all hell.
Ever since he caught that weird virus and brought it back to the apartment...it seemed to be getting worse. It began as a common sinus infection that made him lethargic, with half the stuff he was saying nearly indiscernible. He denied being sick enough to warrant a doctor visit, though, and figured it'll eventually pass.
And as his neighbor and best friend, you thought that giving him space was the best thing to do until he felt better.
At some point, you noticed a gradient creature with an unpleasant color scheme wandering in the dark alleys and down the hallway. It never spoke a word, making you wonder why it was here or if Kasper's illness had something to do with its appearance, but not even he was sure about it.
Then Poptart, his beloved cat, went missing a few days later. He knocked on your door crying and panicking the following morning, clearly scared out of his mind as he woke up to find its food bowl untouched.
That led you both to believe someone kidnapped the poor thing, so together you put up missing posters around the apartment complex, hoping somebody knew their whereabouts. Kasper had his suspicions that the gradient might've had been involved, but as off-putting as it seemed...you couldn't accuse it of anything without solid proof.
Last time you saw Unpleasant, it went onto the elevator, so god only knows what floor it could be on now.
Until it came back, you decided to stay with Kasper and look for Poptart, making sure nobody tore down the posters.
At the current moment, however, as you watched him game, you were a bit grossed out to see the pink snot dribbling from his nose--but when he raised his arm to rub it on his sleeve, you saw something even more alarming:
Pink-checkered textures covering part of his skin, briefly glitching before they vanished.
You got up from your seat and approached him, tapping his shoulder. "Kasper? I saw something weir-"
"I need to focus--oh no, no, no, N0!! My str34k!!"
You froze for a moment, concerned by the stark change in his voice--as though it was ran through a bitcrusher--before frowning as you saw him staring at his screen now, shoulders slumped at the "Defeat" message displayed across it.
"Awh man..." He whined, now sounding somewhat normal.
"Sorry, but..I just wanna be sure you're okay. At least keep a tissue handy, my guy. You're getting it all over your setup." Your eyes surveyed his desk for anything that could be a good tissue substitute--besides magazines.
"I told you, bruh, I feel fi...ah...ahhhCHOO!!" Kasper turned to sneeze directly onto the floor, where a few tiles began flickering pink...before you saw that same checkered texture from before.
But your gamer friend, totally unaware, just turned to stare you with a biggest grin on his face. "See? My sinuses are clear now!"
Then he sniffled again, sulking as his nose betrayed him.
"Look, this virus is turning into something bigger. It's gone beyond a small sinus infection." You huffed. "A virus wouldn't make you forget your own name. A virus wouldn't turn your carpet into that." Pointing to the glitchy texture that showed up, you made sure he was looking at it.
He blinked. "I did that?"
"You need a doctor, Kasper. And I will drag you to one if I have t-"
"For the gazillionth time, that's not my name!!" He suddenly snapped, punching the desk with anger you've never seen before. "It's "Infected"! How have we been friends this long if you can't even remember my ####### n4m3?! $w34r 1'll b4n u fr0m my lif3 if y0u d0n't st0p!"
You stared at him in shock, taking a step back as you saw his fist nearly glitch through the desk.
What was happening to him?
Did the virus force him to call himself "Infected"? Was it making him refuse to accept any help?
You had no idea, and it was scaring you.
"...s0rry.."
"It's..fine-"
"N0. It isn't.." His shoulders slumped again and he looked down at his hands, wondering what was wrong with him. "I...I didn't m34n t0 3xpl0d3 0n y0u. I..I just..."
Then he trailed off, staying unusually silence for several long moments.
That gave you an idea. You had to test something.
"Hey, just amuse me for a second...do you remember this guy?"
Infected raised his head, watching you pick up the picture frame that sat beside his computer. It was photo of him and Lampert--the living lamp robot you two met at ROKEA years ago.
Ever since the day he came to life, you three were the best of friends, always hanging out on each other's floors, trading stuff, making friendship bracelets, and playing games. You and Kasper were the ones to introduce Lampert to all the cool things the world had to offer..and inadvertently turned him into a bit of a germaphobe once he discovered things like sickness.
Still, you three did everything together. The day you took that picture was most memorable--especially the embarrassment of realizing the arrows on their shirts were facing opposite directions, which you only realized after the photo was developed and printed.
Oh, well.
Then after Kasper got sick, Lampert's been keeping his distance, and oftentimes things became tense in the elevator when the former didn't cover his mouth when sneezing or coughing.
But now that his infection was worsening, you weren't sure if the lamp would wanna see him anymore.
Or even...if he recognized the person in the photo at all.
You could tell by the way he took it from your hands and stared at it for some time, eyebrows furrowed with confusion, that he was starting to lose his memory.
"This l4mp dude..I think..I've s33n him on th4t elev4t0r.."
"We've known him for years, Kas. You and I..pretty much brought him to life." You frowned, worried that he was starting to forget him..
How long will it be before he forgot you, too?
"Don't tell me, after everything we've done together, you're forgetting about him--about us."
"I..I...I w4nn4 r3m3mb3r..but..." His hands began trembling, which you were oblivious to as your frustration began to rise once more.
"But nothing. You have to try. Forget your infection and think to when we last saw him. Where were we going?"
"..I don't...kn0w..."
"Yes you do. Who was in the elevator with us besides us three?"
"I h4v3 n0 id34..st0p it.." His voice shook.
"Kasper. You need to-"
"ST0P S4Y1NG TH4T N4M3!! Y0U'R3 N0T H3LPING!!" He shouted, and in that same moment the frame glitched, becoming covered in checkered textures. It felt like a sharp pain that pierced his hands, causing him to yelp and drop it to the floor, where it turned back to normal after it cracked.
You scrambled to pick it up without thinking, afraid he'd cut himself if he tried getting it, only to turn it over and discover that the photo inside was now ruined.
Kasper's face had been ripped out, as though the virus was trying its hardest to erase him and make him believe he had this random picture of some guy and a lamp robot for no reason...
'It's destroying everything he touches..'
Then your attention went to your fingers, which have turned pink. You gasped and quickly put the frame down, staring at your hand in horror.
It was already spreading to your wrist.
"W04h! A-Are y0u 0k4y??" Infected jumped out of his chair on instinct, unsure of what to do but wanting to help in some way.
But the moment he reached for you, you stepped away, clutching your wrist and scowling deeply at him. "Stay back! Now you got me infected, too, you jerk!"
"......I....I-I didn't m34n it.." His voice trembled, sounding more and more broken up as tears filled his vision. "I'm s0rry...I'm...s0 s0rry. I sw34r..I-I'm n0t d0ing it 0n purp0s3." Clutching his arm, he fidgeted with his sleeve, looking down at the ground in shame. "I'm sc4r3d, [y/n].."
Slowly, but surely, your gaze softened upon realizing how hurt he looked, and the fact that your insults weren't helping matters. You knew the risk to hanging around him when he was sick, so....how could you blame him?
Even he didn't know what was going on with him.
"I...I'm sorry for yelling. I know you didn't mean it. It's alright. We can see if Dr. Retro knows anything about this. She might have a cure or some medicine."
"......"
"Ka--Infected.."
He perked up, seeing you stepping closer. You knew there was no use in keeping distant from him now, since you caught the sickness, too.
With a small sigh, you patted his shoulder. "I'm not mad, okay? It's my fault for touching that picture frame. But I promise..we'll find a way to deal with this. I'll try to remember stuff for both of us...that is..if it doesn't also take my memor-"
He abruptly flung forward to wrap his arms around you, crushing you in a hug. Despite him sniffling like crazy (and feeling sweaty and gross), you returned it, letting his head fall against your shoulder.
He needed this.
You can't even remember the last time you two hugged, or did any of those cool handshakes he taught you.
"You know we'll have to tell Lampert, right?"
"Mhm.."
"...you want me to tell him?"
"Y34h.."
"Okay, next time the elevator comes, I'll hop on it." You patted his back, already sounding congested yourself, but you tried to ignore it.
Instead, you dread what you're gonna say to Lampert.
'He's gonna be pissed...'
...........
3008.
No, the Regretevator didn't have 3000 floors, but that's what Lampert's home floor was called anyways.
You weren't here to ponder why it was given that name, as the doors opened and you stepped out into a familiar place. A place you'd almost call a "second home".
Unfortunately, you were almost rudely pushed to the ground by some of the occupants--all who were rushing into the depths of ROKEA to find him.
Whoever made the rules apparently decided that should be the "objective" of this floor. But you knew where Lampert liked to hang out best, somewhere only you and Kasper would be able to find him.
So while the players scurried around like rats, racing against the clock, you headed straight to your friend, hoping you'll get to explain yourself without him freaking out.
As expected, you found him standing perfectly still among some lamps, switching his light off after realizing it was only you approaching. "Hi, [y/n]." He greeted with a small smile. "Any luck finding Poptart yet?"
"No." You shook your head, absentmindedly tugging on the glove that covered your arm. "Kas has been worried sick, but I put fresh tape on the posters..so...we'll see if that little kitty turns up."
"I hope so, too. Say..what's with the gloves and mask?"
"Oh these? Um-"
"Were you just cleaning up his apartment with those?" He asked, before sighing and shaking his head. "I hope you changed them. Otherwise they're just as unsanitary as-"
"No, no. I wasn't cleaning. I just...just..."
Your nose began to feel itchy.
Lampert just raised an eyebrow. "Go on."
"I..just..ah...HI-CHOO!" Turning away immediately to cover your sneeze, you were grateful that this place didn't allow it to echo through the air...otherwise you would've easily given away your location.
But after hearing him gasp, you looked back to see him take a huge step away from you, scowling. "Y-You're sick?! Why did you come here?!"
"That's what I was getting to. I...I just wanted you to know that I....caught whatever Kasper had." You briefly removed your glove, revealing the pink that was now almost covering your entire forearm.
Least to say, he was mortified. "No..what do you mean you caught it?? I told you not to hang around him until he felt better!"
"I thought he was getting better..but he's not. It's worse than we realized."
"Well are you surprised?" He scoffed. "He refuses to see a doctor and doesn't seem to care if-"
"It's the virus itself, Lampert. It's taking over his mind."
"...what do you mean?"
"He can't even remember his own name. He got angry and told me to call him "Infected". And even worse? He's...forgetting about all the stuff we did together. He could barely even remember you."
"That's...impossible. An ordinary virus wouldn't give people amnesia!"
"That's what I said, too. But..this clearly isn't ordinary. I was gonna go visit Dr. Retro. If she catches this in the early stages, maybe she can figure out some cure for it. But..I-I just didn't know how fast it would spread. So..." You sighed. "..I wanted to see you first. Just in case I end up forgetting about you, too...which I hope doesn't happen."
"I...understand, but you really should've went to her first." He simply responded, still in utter distraught as he stared at you.
As though you were the disease itself.
Why did this have to happen to his two best friends?
Did some higher being just...hate him specifically? All because he's a little wary of germs?
"I'm gonna go there next." You nodded, making sure the mask was snug on your face, but in that same moment, you heard somebody shout that they found Lampert, and you huffed. "Well shit..guess you gotta come, too."
"As long as you keep your distance, that's fine. Nobody else got sick from you, right?"
As much as his question hurt a little, it was a reasonable one to ask. So you just shook your head. "No. I'll stay in my corner and you can stay in yours."
"Fair enough. I just hope it's not too cramped.."
Nodding, you both headed back towards the elevator, keeping a good amount of distance between yourselves.
There was a time where you would've been walking side-by-side with him and Kasper, sometimes linking arms and bumping shoulders (which even the lamp tolerated back then), and you hoped that maybe one day..you'll be able to go back to that.
For now, though, at least he was willing to share a lobby with you and talk about what's been going on at ROKEA just like old times.
So this virus didn't completely ruin your friendship yet...not that you planned on allowing that to happen.
No way.
You'll find a way to beat this.
You had to.

Sick
Tumblr media
PAIRINGS: Tom 2014 x Female reader CONTENT: FLUFF SYPNOSIS: Tom has been feeling sick lately, after a meet and greet he contracted someones sickness. He's been really clingy and whiny but you love it, you take care of him because you adore and love him. A/N: this era ofc cause why tf not WARNINGS: none, just love <3
Tom has been feeling really sick lately, throwing up and sneezing quite a lot. He had a meet and greet a few days ago and thinks he contracted someones sickness, he did infact shake so many hands.
He whined and pulled me closely as I was walking by, "y/n..come here" I giggled and pulled away as he tried to kiss me "eww tom you have snot all over your nose, there's no way i'm gonna catch your sickness."
"You're so mean" he groaned and turned away from me, I rolled my eyes playfully "stop acting like a child Tom, here put your hands out" I tapped him, he turned a little and peeked at me, holding out his hands as I squirted some hand sanitizer onto them. "Rub it in, i'm not doing absolutely everything for you baby" I chuckled. He sighed dramatically loud and rubbed the sanitzer in his hands.
"Stay here and rest, I'm popping out to the shops and getting you some things" he whined again but I just ignored it, as much as I loved him he got so clingy when he was sick.
I got into my car and drove to the local pharmicist, buying medicine and a few snacks for him, the ones I knew he loved.
I returned home and heard his heavy footsteps as soon as I came to the door, he must of heard my car in the driveway.
He opened the door and hugged me tightly, "I missed you baby" he kissed the top of my head like 20 times. "Relax Tommy, go back to the couch and I'll show you what I got" I smiled.
He raced to the couch and I sat down beside him, opening the back and pulling out the medicine, along with his favourite snacks, his eyes lit up "holy shit! i love these!" he smiled brightly and kissed my cheek "thankyou schatz, ich liebe dich." He instantly starting munching on the chips I got him, groaning "it's so good" I chuckled "yeah yeah, time for medicine liebe, open up" I grabbed the bottle of medicine and poured it onto a tablespoon, grabbed the spoon from me and poured it into his mouth, gagging a litttle "fuck that tastes like shit" making dramatic faces and noises, I giggled "it's not that bad don't be dramatic."
Later in the night I woke up to him coughing quite badly, I winced, not wanting him to be in pain. I got up and got the medicine again and heated up some chicken noodle soup I had made for him before.
I softly woke him up, "liebe..you were coughing pretty badly, sit up so I can give you these" I turned the bedside lamp on and waited for him to sit up. He groggily got up, his eyes still shut.
"Ughh..I hate being sick.." he whimpered, taking the spoon of medicine from me and pouring it into his mouth again. He turned to go to sleep but I stopped him "ah ah ah, not yet tom" he groaned and I slowly fed him the soup, making sure he didn't gulp it all up at once because he did that once when he was sick and I didn't need a repeat of that event.
"Cmon liebe, lets go to sleep" I smiled softly and turned off the lamp, getting into bed beside him. He grabbed me and pulled me closer, wrapping his strong arms around my waist. "need you close..love you so much" he mumbled before drifting off to sleep, I giggled quietly and fell asleep in his arms.
The next morning I woke up and noticed Tom was out of bed, I went into the living room and saw him playing video games, his nose clogged with tissues and his eyes red from him itching them so much. "What did I tell you about rubbing your eyes Tom?" I groaned, rolling my eyes and stopping him from playing, applying cream onto his eyes, "baby I almost won!" he whined, I snapped back at him "I don't care Tom! You're sick and I'm taking care of you!" I heard oo's and shes mad from Bill, Gustav and Georg from his headphones, and a smile tugged at my lips.
"Shut up guys" I laughed and walked off, preparing some healthy food for him to recover from his cold. I chopped up some vegetables for the soup I was making. I poured him some lemonade, "here you go baby, it'll make you feel less nauseous" I smiled and he gladly accepted the glass, slowly sipping on it as I had instructed him to multiple times before.
As I was making the food, so focused on chopping vegetables, I forgot about Tom gaming and didn't realize the yelling and noises stopped, I felt his hands wrap around my waist behind me and his soft lips pressed against my neck. I smirked and turned to look at him "yess tom?" "I love you baby, thankyou for taking care of me" he said, smiling lovingly, I kissed his lips softly "of course, you know I love you a lot."
"Hey! Didn't you say you weren't gonna kiss me cause I'm sick!" he complained, I giggled "yeah, but now you can take care of me if I get sick" I winked and he chuckled, kissing me again.
E/N: This was actually adorable, I loved writing this

Hope you like it ā˜ŗļøšŸ˜Š
I Love it when youre Sick
Minji x sick! Clingy! Reader
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slowly, my eyes opened. The shaking of my body woke me from my sleep. Yawning, I slowly sat up; my head was pounding like crazy, and my throat hurt.
I knew this would happen. For several days now, I had been sneezing and coughing quite frequently. The sore throat had also started to make itself known yesterday.
A soft sigh escaped my throat when I noticed the empty half of the bed. Unintentionally, my lip pouted. Slowly, I pulled the blanket off me and sat at the edge of the bed. My bare feet touched the cold floor. Sniffling since my nose seemed to be running, I got up from the bed.
Around me was my warm onesie. My girlfriend Minji had bought it for me. She had a similar one, hers being a bear while mine was a panda. I immediately tucked my ice-cold hands into the pocket of my onesie and headed straight for the bathroom.
As I prepared my toothbrush, my eyes immediately met the mirror. My cheeks were slightly flushed, which was normal since my entire face felt like it was burning. My lips were still a bit swollen from sleep, yet my eyes looked quite tired.
Where was Minji?
Quickly, with a few sniffs in between, I brushed my teeth and placed my toothbrush next to Minji's. Of course, I also had to use the toilet, which was quite annoying since I had to almost completely remove the onesie.
Slowly, almost dragging myself, I made my way to the kitchen. I heard our Alexa playing soft music in the background and immediately recognized Minji at one of the kitchen counters. My eyes lit up as I saw the all-too-familiar back. Her neck was exposed as she tied her hair into a bun.
I immediately wrapped my arms around the waist of the younger one as my forehead pressed against her. I could feel Minji placing her hand on mine and amusingly sigh, "You're awake?" the younger one asked but didn't seem to stop what she was doing.
I simply hummed in agreement, pressing closer to her. I couldn't see her face, but I was sure she was smiling. "I'm making pancakes," she said, pointing to the batter she was still stirring. My eyes briefly glanced at the batter, but I didn't let go for a second. I didn't even pretend to.
Minji chuckled softly. "You're quite clingy today. What's wrong?" the taller woman asked, turning her head slightly to look at me. But I just shrugged. "You weren't in bed," I murmured softly, my voice a bit raspy as it was the first time I spoke that morning.
Minji took a deep breath, nodding her head. "I wanted to bring breakfast to my baby in bed," the younger one replied, her voice sweetly teasing. I sniffed and loosened my grip on the taller woman, immediately moving to the tissue cabinet. I grabbed one of the tissues.
"But I wanted to... wake up next to you," I replied softly, causing Minji to immediately look at me. A slight smirk appeared on her face as she scanned my face with her eyes. Her gaze moved from my onesie down to my bare feet and then back up to meet my eyes.
Still holding the whisk in her hand as she continued to stir the batter, Minji asked with a slight smile, "Is my baby sick?" She watched me blow my nose, and I quickly discarded the tissue into the trash. My eyes fixed on Minji as I nodded slightly, "A little," I responded, which made Minji chuckle.
She turned her head towards me, her eyes encouraging as she looked at me with that smirk. "When are you meeting the others?" I asked, filling the kettle with water and switching it on. Leaning against the counter, I sniffled again.
Minji had started frying the pancakes. She glanced briefly at me before looking back at the pan. Taking a deep breath, she said, "Danielle canceled because she's going to the movies with Haerin and her family. Hyein is grounded, and Hanni played all night, so she's tired," Minji shared, and almost instantly, I looked at her with hopeful eyes.
"So, does that mean... you're staying home today?" I asked, moving a bit closer to her. Minji looked up from the pan, smiling at me. "Do you want that?" she asked knowingly, grinning at me while I placed my hand on her arm that held the pan.
Minji looked down at my hand on her arm and made a sound, "Hm?" she hummed, teasingly, but we both knew she was just trying to playfully annoy me. Rolling my eyes, I lightly tapped the younger one on the arm, "Of course, I want you with me, Min," I expressed. Looking straight into my girlfriend's eyes, I softly asked, "Shall we cuddle?" My eyes widened a bit as I looked up at her.
Minji smiled at me, turning off the stove after emptying the batter. Handing me the bowl, I immediately placed it in the sink. "But you should eat first," the younger one responded as she plated some pancakes for us. "But on the couch," she added, gesturing for me to head to the living room.
"Min," I softly whispered as I pressed myself more against the older one's front. I adjusted her arms around me. "Hm?" hummed the taller one behind me, her chin resting on the top of my head. "I don't want you to leave," I murmured softly, which made Minji chuckle.
"God, I love it when you're sick," the younger one muttered, but I could understand every word. I turned slightly in her arms to look at her, eventually turning completely. My nose touched hers.
"Why?" I asked, causing a slight blush to appear on Minji's cheeks. "I like it when you're so clingy. When you need me," replied the woman in front of me, her arms wrapped around my waist. "I always need you," I responded, furrowing my brow slightly. Minji then pressed her lips to my forehead.
"But only when you're sick do you openly show it," the younger one remarked. She was right. I usually didn't like physical contact. No one would believe it if they saw me like this, but it was true. I only liked it when it was Minji. I loved feeling her arms around me, her breath on my neck, the gentle kisses on my hair, and how our legs intertwined.
"I love cuddling with you, even when I'm not sick," I replied. Minji smirked, pressing her lips to my nose. "Okay, I'll believe you because you're so sweet," the younger one responded, making me laugh. "I love you," I whispered, causing Minji to close her eyes, a broad grin on her lips.
"I love you even more," she whispered back, swiftly lying on top of me. My mouth opened in surprise, which was good since I could hardly breathe through my stuffy nose. Minji grinned, placing her lips on mine. "But I really need to go to the bathroom now," the taller woman said, getting up and heading to the bathroom.
The blanket we were wrapped in lost its warmth. My lip pouted once more. My eyes kept shifting to the drama on TV and then to the bathroom door. After some time, the bathroom door opened, and almost immediately, I sat up.
Minji looked at my face. A tissue now in my hand as I blew my nose and then looked back at my girlfriend. The taller woman smiled at my sight and shortly disappeared into the kitchen. I closed my mouth and lay back down, my eyes focused on the television.
"Here."
"No."
Minji's mouth opened as she looked at me, her forehead slightly furrowed, holding two hot, steaming cups in her hands. She hesitated, blinked, and then sat down right where my legs were. I looked at my girlfriend who had simply sat on my legs.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Baby?"
"Hm?"
"Take the cup and be quiet."
Surprised by what I heard, I looked at the taller woman with my mouth slightly open. Almost immediately, I sat up straight and took the cup Minji offered me. My eyes immediately looked into the cup, recognizing the light brown liquid with some small marshmallows floating on the surface.
"Cocoa?" I asked, and almost instantly, a broad grin spread across my face. "I love you," I whispered softly. Minji briefly stood up so I could pull my legs toward me, which I did. I sat cross-legged on the couch, facing my girlfriend, holding the cup with both hands.
"So, you only love me because I bring you cocoa?" She asked amused, a crooked grin on her lips as I rolled my eyes briefly. I took a sip from my cup. "It's delicious," I commented, sneezing shortly afterward. Minji smirked, "You sneeze like my dad."
Indignant, I looked at the taller woman. "What kind of compliment is that?" I asked, which made Minji laugh. She placed her cup on the coffee table and looked at me with a slight smile. "Who said that was a compliment?" She retorted.
Pouting, I glared at her, which made her laugh again. She took my cup and placed it on the table as well. "Do you know how to get rid of your cold faster?" she asked, a grin on her lips, her eyes scanning my entire face.
"How?"
"By kissing those beautiful lips," she whispered. Without hesitation, her hand moved to the back of my neck, and her lips met mine. Minji ensured I was lying back on the couch, her entire weight on top of me. Slowly, I pulled away from her.
"You'll get sick too."
"I don't care. If I do get sick, will you take care of me?" she asked, slightly grinning, her lips capturing mine again. I responded to the kiss, wrapping my arms around her neck and pulling her closer. "No," I murmured between the kisses.
Minji smirked, her hand on the zipper of my onesie, slowly pulling it down. "You're so mean," my girlfriend whispered as her lips began to trail down my neck. My mouth slightly open, I murmured, "I'm not mean," as my breathing became faster.
"I love it when you're sick."

"Taking my time, I'll show you the care I hold for you within my heart. Just how gentle. Just how soft, this love is.ā€

It was quiet as Taylor stood in the kitchen, looking down on her phone. Her hand was on the cold metal of the fridge, having just finished writing down the tasks she needed to do, the paper now pinned on the fridge door.
At the side, the windows radiated a warmthness from them, the orange of the mornings that could never be beaten by anything else. The sunshine floods through the kitchen, sinking down from the marble counters and to the wooden floorboards.
In the distance, Taylor hears a small sneeze coming from the bedroom. She takes a small glance, but didn't take more mind to it as she focuses on looking through the refridgerator, trying to figure out what to make from the ingredients she already has.
She tries looking through the recipe book, trying to find more ideas rather than just going through the list of meals she can remember off the top of her head, but nothing came up as a big interest.
Instead, another thought pops up in her mind. You. "Baby, what do you want for breakfast?" she asks, her volume a little louder so you could hear her from across the room.
You were in the bedroom, staying laid in bed. Honestly, you woke up only a few minutes ago, your body realizing the missing presence of the familiar blonde. But that wasn't the worst of it. Your throat instantly felt weird, and you hid in the covers to shield yourself from the cold. Yet, no amount of changing your positions would help.
The door was open, Taylor's doing from the morning in case you thought she went to work from being up so early. Also just in case anything happens and she would need to run in to check on you. Right now? Sure, it isn't an emergency, but you felt like you would need her right in front of you without more time wasted.
"I don't know, you choose..." You tried replying with a bit of volume, even while your voice didn't want to be on your side today. Or, well, your throat, so she heard you, but your words didn't form anything.
Taylor blinks for a moment, trying to process what you said, but nothing seemed to form in her head. "I can't hear you!" she says, slowly closing the old recipe book with a crinkle of its spine. She went to turn around and was about to go towards the bedroom, but then she saw you, walking out.
You drag your feet, your posture slumped as you gently rub the edges of your eye. Taylor's expression soften at the adorable appearance, and she doesn't take long to round the island and go to you, her arms opening to wrap around your warm body.
She gazes down at you, a smile growing on her face as she tilts her head. "What'd you say, honey?" she asks softly, her hand reaching to move your hair back.
You let out a breath and swallow the weird feeling in your throat before gaining the courage to talk, your own arms going to return her embrace, but also to hold onto her.
"...anything that's soft...please," you whisper, your voice croaky and strained, something she noticed instantly. Taylor looks at you with concern, a thought coming to her that the warmness radiating off your body was starting to look like it wasn't just from you being in bed.
She leans back, wanting to take a look at your face. Your eyes held a sort of tiredness to them when they look up at her, but you did just wake up earlier, so she questions herself of her assumptions.
"...Are you sick, baby?" she asks, searching your face. Your lips were just slightly pouted, and the way you sniffled absolutely gave it away. Once you nod, it was confirmed.
"Aw...sweetheart." She murmurs, feeling you lean back into her, burying your face in her chest. She held a body heat, and it was all you wanted, after being so cold in the empty bed.
Taylor thinks about it for a couple minutes, trying to sift through the meals you'd like whenever you were sick. It was difficult, but not impossible.
"...Do you want soup?" she says gently, looking down at you again as you thought about it. But then you inhaled a breath, feeling the tickle of your nose. Soon, you sneeze off to the side, ensuring the germs barely hits Taylor.
She smiles, even though her expression held worry. "Bless you," she says, seeing you take a deep breath, and smiling back at her when you heard her words.
"Thank you," you whispered, leaning back in to her. Your arms were wrapped around her still, holding onto the warmth.
"Do you want soup, love?" Taylor asks gently, repeating her question in case you couldn't focus on what she said due to your sneeze.
But your fingers gently clutch further onto the fabric of her shirt, and you shook your head, resisting even the thought of any food passing by your painful throat.
Taylor's concern rises, but still her mind continues to go on for you, searching for words. She moves her hand up and down your back to comfort you in any way possible.
"It'll be warm, and it can soothe your throat," she whispers, looking down at you with the hopes that her gentle voice can help you find some courage. But with the quietness you went with, it was unlikely you were budging.
"You can eat it with bread too, if you'd like," Taylor adds, awaiting your response. You stay buried in her chest, trying to decide.
With the way her hand was comfortingly moving on your back, you gave in, and eventually succumb to a nod, one barely visible unless Taylor had been watching extremely closely, and she was.
Taylor smiles softly and pulls back, seeing your face that still held hesitancy. "Chicken soup, yeah?" she asks, her hand traveling up to touch your cheek gently, her thumb gently caressing your skin.
You look into her loving eyes and nod again, this time more visibly. The blonde's heart lightens at the sight of you agreeing, and her smile grew wider.
"Alright, just wait a few minutes." She murmurs, leaning down to kiss the top of your head before pulling away, but right before she could slip from your embrace, you let out the smallest sound of protest and gently grab her hand, causing her to turn back to you, quickly picking up on how you wanted her to stay with you.
"Shh, its okay, I'm just going to make you your soup." Her palm gently trails up to the back of your head, her other hand rested on your back. You most definitely didn't want to leave her side, especially when your body felt weak and was contaminated with sickness.
"How about this, you can watch me make it, hm?" Taylor suggested, looking to your eyes to see whatever thoughts you seemed to have. She slowly tries to pull you to the kitchen, and when you follow without holding your ground, she smiles softly.
She gets everything ready, grabbing the pot and taking the ingredients for the soup from the fridge. As the soup was getting ready on the stove, you stayed by her at all times, your body feverish against her side and your head rested on her shoulder.
She wraps an arm around your waist, her thumb gently brushing, reassuring you through her touches. Your mind was scrambled, unable to focus on just about anything other than the motion at your waist.
Taylor had already made a sandwich for herself, ready in its container to eat later with you in case you needed encouraging with her company.
She heard your sniffling from her side though, and it was the sign of a stuffy nose starting to come into play with your sickness. Her eyes were transfixed on you as her hands went to go through your hair, hearing the sniffling growing more consistent.
She grabs a nearby tissue from the kitchen counter, turning to you to hand it down to you. "Here, love," the blonde whispered. You blink for a second, then took it to wipe your nose and turning away to blow into it.
Taylor watches you with a slightly sympathetic gaze, her hand moving up and down your back. Her eyes flickered from you and the soup that was starting to bubble in the pot.
Deciding its finished cooking, she reaches out with her other hand, lightly stirring the soup before slowing down the heat, and then turning it off completey.
Taylor glances back at you, giving your arm a gentle squeeze to let you know she'll return to being close to you, needing to keep you just a little further from the hot soup. You see her grab out a bowl, and a kitchen cloth to hold on to the small pot's handle so she could slowly pour it out.
The steam from the freshly made soup drifts up, resulting in more warmth entering the space of the kitchen. She puts the pot into the sink, letting the water fill it up slightly to clean later. Then, she picks up the bowl carefully, aware of the heat.
"Can you help bring my sandwich, baby?" she says, nodding towards the transparent container. She watches as your hand goes out, grabbing it from the counter and hugging it to your front as you lean back into her.
She smiles and guides you to the bedroom, trying to keep the soup from spilling with every step being mindful. Once you soon arrive, she lets out a breath of relief, setting the bowl on the nightstand.
You went to sit on the bed, getting comfortable. Taylor turns to look at you before she joins you and gently pulls you to sit in her lap, her legs criss-crossed.
As you try to process at simply being pulled like that, it wasn't long until you gladly accept the change of position. Facing her, you lean into her shoulder, tilting your head to look up at her.
She notices how you gazed up, the look on your face being adorable in her eyes, and her heart warms. Her hand reaches up to brush back your hair with her fingers, being gentle.
"Its gonna be a day full of cuddles, huh?" she asks in a whisper as she looks into your eyes, as if a secret for just the two of you. You let out a giggle and nod, making her light up with a smile herself.
She then grabs the bowl of soup from the nightstand, feeling that it was now less hot to the touch. Knowing you to be hesitant on swallowing anything, she takes ahold of the spoon, blowing on the soup lightly to then take a small sip of it, a hum sounding from her.
She looks to you, her gaze gentle as she lets the soup fill the spoon again. "Its delicious, trust me," she says, bringing it up to your mouth. Although you held full of trust for her, you couldn't trust your throat.
You move back, your lips turning into a straight line as you eyed the spoon, but she keeps her gentle gaze on you.
"Its okay, here, just one sip," she whispers, encouraging you by lightly putting her free hand on your back, the other hand moving forward.
She sees you slowly starting to accept, at least letting the soup touch your lips. Although you didn't fully take it, you had pursed your lips, tasting the chicken flavored soup.
For just a moment, your face relaxes, remembering how delicious it would be whenever she'd cook you things like these. Her hand had drifted back slightly to not force you entirely, but the corners of her lips raise up at seeing your realization. She decides to try again, moving it back towards you slowly.
You hesitate, but she waits patiently. After some seconds, you slowly open your mouth, taking the spoon in and letting the soup enter your mouth.
You hold it for a moment, feeling how warm it was, while at the same time feeling scared to feel the pain surge back. Taylor raises her eyebrows slightly and move her head in a gentle nod, which had you letting it go down your throat.
Just for a second, there was the burning, painful feeling that made you wince, but once it got down and filled your stomach with warmth, it was gone. You let your shoulders relax slowly, looking up to her.
She smiles and picks up the spoon again, helping you get the food in your system slowly. The feel of your cheeks flushing comes up almost as warm as the soup, and Taylor almost wanted to lovingly pinch them from how adorable you looked, even while you're sick.
"Look at you, being brave." She says, watching you chew the small bits and pieces of the chicken in the soup, enjoying the meal, although coughing here and there after swallowing.
"Just take it slow..." she murmurs, soothing you on your back. You eventually get the coughing fit to calm down, and you lean back into her, your cheek gently pressed against her shoulder.
As she gives you time to have some peace, she leans down to lay a gentle kiss on the top of your head. You let your eyes wander slightly, the only sounds going out into the space being of your breaths.
When you look over to the nightstand, you see her sandwich, half eaten, her stolen bites there as she helped feed you your own meal.
She sees your gaze transfixed on it, her eyes flickering from her sandwich and to you. A raise on her lips was paired with her heart jumping in happiness within her chest.
"You want some?" She asks, reaching over to her sandwich. You nod, and she smiles softly, pinching off a part of her sandwich to give to you.
You lean forward, and she puts it in your mouth carefully. She watches you chew it, savouring the taste, and processing if it was good. When you swallow, your face had brightened up slightly.
"Good?" she asks, looking at you curiously in waiting for the thoughts of her meal. You held a more at ease expression, and nod eagerly, happy with the taste, but then soon feeling the itch of a cough and then getting thrown into another fit.
Her eyes widen slightly before she grabs the water bottle from the side, unscrewing the cap for you and then handing it out. "Drink some water...slowly," she offers softly.
You looked up with a slightly pained expression, but you grab the bottle with slightly shaky hands and took a small sip.
You drank a little more water, at least until you calmed down, and you give the bottle back to her, swallowing the water. A breath of relief escapes your mouth as she sets the water bottle back down on the nightstand.
She turns back to you, her finger lightly tracing meaningless patterns on your arm. A few seconds after, she resumes to giving you the soup again, with the hoped that it will be a little more smoother.
Soon, you finished, and she had a smile on her face, the spoon going down on the bowl with a gentle clink. She looks up at you with a proud gaze, gesturing towards the now empty bowl with only the residue of the soup. "There you go, all done."
You saw that Taylor was about to get up, and you nearly let out a small noise of fear and protest, but she stops her movement for a short second.
"I'll still be here, I'm just going to send the dishes to the sink, okay?" she whispers, her hand taking yours to lightly squeeze, then kisses the skin softly. Slowly, she lays down your hand to the bed, patting it reassuringly before carefully holding the plate and bowl, going out the room.
You let out a gentle breath, watching the now empty space, awaiting anytime. It felt like forever, but her familiar blue eyes appear back into the room, meeting yours with a gentle smile, her hands holding a bottle of pills and liquid medicine.
She saw the way you looked at them, her eyes drifting downwards, but going up again, moving the bottles out to you.
"Do you want any medicine, sweetheart?" she asks, tilting her head. Your eyes were bleak and half lidded as you shook your head, curling up a little further in bed. Her eyes soften, and she slowly pulls her hand back.
"Thats okay, we'll just rest," she says, her tone understanding. She puts down the medicine on the bedside table, just in case you change your mind at any given time.
She steps forward, sliding to sit at the edge of the bed once more, her hand moving to push away your strands of hair that had gone out of place.
You gaze up at her, only your eyes having movement, and your chest rising and falling with every one of your breaths. But it then slows down with a deep inhale.
"Tay...?" you whisper out, your voice quiet and weak. Taylor's hand pauses its motion for just a second at the mention of her name from you in such a small voice, before she resumes the motion.
"Yeah, baby?" She whispers back, her gaze down upon you holding tenderness. Her hand was warm, and glided down to your cheek, making you lean into it.
"I'm cold," you mumble, your mouth in a pout. She lets out the smallest chuckle, her thumb going to brush over the tip of your nose ever so slightly in a barely noticeable boop.
"Come here then, honey." she whispers, only wanting to give you all the comfort you needed, rather than anything else but so. You stare at her for a second, contemplating being closer to her within your sickness.
She notices this, and knows you all too well to let it be. She smiles softly and assuringly, giving you an encouraging nod that made your heart soften.
"It's okay, I don't mind getting sick," she says, pulling you in without much pressure, as you slowly give in and let her slide you closer, your face burying into the warmth of her neck.
She kisses you atop the head gently, your hair tickling her nose just a little bit, but she didn't mind.
"Rest..." her hushed voice echoes out into the space of the room, her gentle touch upon your back, either drawing circles or rubbing a soothing motion.
"You'll feel better when you wake up," she says, hoping you'll take her point well. You relax, letting your breaths steady, and she can feel the exhaustion radiating from you, the breath your lungs release portraying your sickness.
"I love you, baby," she whispers out one final time, just a few words for you to hear before you close your eyes, giving in to the heaviness.
"Love you too..." you mumble out, full of sleepiness. She smiles softly, and soon closes her own eyes, too.
