A Biziil x Meeko Snz Fic

⚠️Content Warning⚠️

Snz Fic, Contagion, Care taking, Fluff,

Description: Biz and Meeko are at home enjoying a night in while Connie works overtime. Meeko has been slowly coming down with something and it starts rapidly presenting itself, leaving her large Bear boyfriend to tend to her aching needs.

Based loosely off this prompt

Author’s Notes: I’ve decided there isn’t enough Biz and Meeko. I need it. Here it is. Meeko and art by @aller-geez

Silently, Biziil was re reading one of his favorite book series. Twilight. Before you judge the man, he was a bit late on the hype. This is his second read through trying to find any hidden things he had maybe skimmed. Biziil loved a good book while his darling girlfriend Meeko was laying half asleep on his chest, curled up fully in his lap, his arms comfortably around her to maintain the hold on his book. One hand, lazily threading through Meeko’s softened orange strands while the other kept the ledger secured.

Meeko had come down with something gnarly a few days prior but was fighting off the brunt of it this evening as the wheezing sound of her breaths filled the silence of the room. Biziil would absent mindedly kiss the top of her head every so often just to remind her he was still paying close attention, if she were to need anything.

Connie was working overtime to make up for the time Meeko was out sick, their hard working girl. Connie always thought it best Biz did the care taking most times, Connie always felt at a loss when her partners were sick. Leaving her helpless and aching for their health.

Meeko’s eyes barely cracked open an inch, looking over the barely legible words on the book her partner read. Her mouth hung open, nose too stuffed and full to even consider a nose hole to breathe through. She sighed, heavily, her chest caving and following the motion with a hacking, and violent cough. “Hnnn….” She whimpered after. She really just wanted to breathe normally again, but every time she tested the waters she found that familiar prickle, scratching at the back door. ‘Let me out….’ It threatened and beckoned for her. ‘Let me out!’ But she couldn’t. She was so comfortable and she ran the huge risk of dampening the pages of her lover’s book. “SndfF…” she tried her best to clear herself of the fog. To no avail.

“Darling?” Biziil looked down, hearing the concave struggle of his girlfriend’s breathing, and more or less sniffled struggling. “Do you need another tissue, my love?” He asked softly, already preparing himself to grab one before she even decided to nod yes. However, she did.

“Please,” she responded with the most pathetic, low volume voice one could possibly muster in a time like this.

“Of course, Princess,” setting his book down for a moment he reaches over his side in order to grab a tissue from the box beside him on the ground. The box had once been on the side table by the couch but with a change of position, it was too hard to reach. The bear had properly placed it next to him on the floor, and was more than prepared as his fingers expertly swafted a tissue from its box with a *thwiff*. “Here you are sweetness,” handing it to her, but before she could even reach out, her face threatened to crack under the weight of her virus. Twisting and scrunching to avoid the fatality.

Her chest felt hot, her head started to sweat and she realized there was no out running the inevitable. Her nose starts to drip just ever so slightly, her hand working to push the stream back, but found it hard to keep her eyes open while doing so. Her body shivers, her head starts to pound and the more she tries not to think about it, the more prevalent it becomes. Sitting on the folds of her frontal lobe. “H-Hih….” She hitches, trying to swallow it back the second it falls from her mouth. “Hh…hhi—…HIH…” Biziil now scrambling to set his book aside, and cradle the back of her head in his now free left hand, and the right coming to a pinch just under her nostrils.

Just in the Knick of time, because the second the tissue was placed in the correct positioning, Meeko blew the top straight off her lip. “hih’KKSSSHHHuh!!” Loud, pronounced, her body shook, her legs buckled the sheer force and display drew up a brightened pink blush across the bear’s face. Without much warning or notice, the young woman finds herself yet again, struggling to catch a breath. Her throat clasps around the intake of air and shuts out any ability to get a good breath in. She stutters, almost hiccups as it sticks inside her throat.

“Let it out darling, don’t hold them back like that….you know how demanding they are,” he clicked his tongue, rubbing the back of her neck between 4 fingers and his thumb. Hoping the motion could soothe her some. It couldn’t. “Hh-h…HIH…h…. HA’AETTCCCHH’uh!! Eh’KSSSSOO, K’SHIEW!!” They were prominent, thunderous, they echoed the picture framed walls and Biz held onto her for dear life, as if everything they lived for was at stake, swiping, pinching, scooping what mess he could with the tissue still clutched to her face.

“Goodness, my love…Bless you,” his voice concerned, his eyebrows furrowed as his hand moved back to pushing the white bangs from her forehead, feeling her temperature. “Sweet girl, you’re burning up….”

Meeko turns, buries her face into the crook of Biziil’s armpit, trying her best to hide the deepened scarlett blush that decorated her usually pale face. “Hnnn….do’d loog ad me….” She whimpered with embarrassment. She absolutely hated how loud her sneezes were, they always made her feel less feminine somehow.

“It’s alright, darling, there’s really no need to apologize,” the grey haired man chuckled, kissing the top of her head. “Come now, don’t hide one of my favorite things to look at….” He leaned in closer to her ear, gently moving the orange threads that once shielded it.

“Hnnn….” She groaned back at him, wishing to disappear into a pile of ash. Or sneeze goo. Whichever she could manage first and faster.

“Do you wish to go to the bedroom, Princess?” Biziil asks her softly, in a gentle whisper as his arms tighten around her.

“……No……” her own voice softer this time, almost too muffled for the larger to make out, but he still strained every muscle he could to hear it.

“Then we shall stay here like this, for as long as you wish, my dove,” pulling her face from within his pit, they now face each other, eye to eye. “I love you, beautiful,” he leans in to kiss her tender lips before Meeko quickly shoved her index finger between them.

“I love you too Bizzy…..but I don’t want you to get sick…” her voice almost breaks, not from sadness but from the scratchiness, the soreness and the over all trashy way she was feeling. Her lidded eyes looked up at his with sincerity, and all he could do was smile.

“It’ll be worth everyday I fall ill….now please,” he responds in a sultry, but gentle tone, before leaning in and pressing their lips lovingly together.

The End

Why am I so afraid of the truth 😌

[mycptsdstory]

Another hard truth I had to learn; I need to stop helping people and fixing them.

I know where fixing people and helping people comes from. It comes from my family.

I'm the one who had to make sure my mother didn't go all psycho on people and I had to make sure, she is calm before she hangs out, goes out, or goes to work. I'm the one who always HAS TO make sure, she's doing okay. I even had to PERSUADE my family to get my mother help, because I couldn't do it myself. She had psychosis, bad!! Like, she thought the police were following her, the holes in the walls had cameras in, the lamp outside that lit up our street had a camera on (it was the sensor that turned on the lamp. You know, when it's dark, the lamp is turned on. Yeahh, that sensor). None of my family believed me. I had to quit therapy and uni because my mother got too much. She would scream at me, scratch at me, even attack me... To wake me up, because she thought someone was in the house, or someone following her. She even went missing, I had to call up the police because no one knew where she was. I had to call up old family friends, work colleagues and old church members. EVERYONE. I finally got help from the police who helped me get numbers to get my mother help. I DID THAT.

Then my sister; any time she had an argument with her husband, I had to be there for her. None of my family would do that, only me.

Then my granddad... He had schizophrenia and no one would help him, only me. I had to be there, to make sure he took his meds, got food inside him and so on. I was looking after him, since I could remember. I was a fucking child, a minor. My family didn't care about my sweet caring granddad. I did the best that I could.

Now, since I have to be this *care taker*, I had to be there for everyone. Over time tho, my help, wasn't helpful. My "help" actually became really toxic.

I grew up in this environment, where I had to help everyone that I can and could. I had to be there, so they would feel better. I became a sort of "therapist", to my own friends because I didn't want them to feel alone, like I was. Being a therapist for people, was so draining. If you're wondering, yeahh I did cause a lot of arguments, without me realising. Yeahh, it was wrong for me to do that.

A lot of friends left me because I wanted to help, when they simply didn't want too. That hurts, but I have to face the reality of it.

I wanted the person to heal and I never understood that, healing is a choice. Only you can heal, no one can do that for you.

I think now, since the pandemic and especially this past year, I've learnt the hard truth of "not everyone wants my help". And I had to accept the reality of it. It was hard, it was painful.

For years, I was this *care taker* for my family, since I could remember. My family used me. They never saw me as a person, a human being with emotions. They just saw me as an object. Then anyone who believes my family, sees me as an object too. I never wanted that.

Hot for Teacher

Part 6

A Remi and Levi Non-Canon Fic Series

⚠️Content Warning⚠️

Sic fic, fluff, caretaking

Author’s Notes: I haven’t forgotten HFT I just haven’t had the brain power for it, however I think I have a good idea for how this chapter will go. I didn’t realize I screwed up the time line order, I thought I’d be on p9 but I’m only on 6 :^) LOL so I got a bit overwhelmed. Enjoy! @aller-geez Owns Remi and did the cover art as always!

Description: Professor Levi is out with, you guessed it, the cold he caught taking care of Remi. The wolf feels terrible and offers to take care of the educator at his own place. Problem is, it’s not suitable for anyone to be living in.

Levi woke up two days after caring for Remi and realized just where he went wrong in his ever so mundane and unexciting life. He was sick. Sicker than a dog. His whole body ached and his throat tickled. “Uhhggg…” he grumbled weakly as he turned over to see he was awake 20 minutes before his alarm was set to go off. There was no way he could go to work like this. He was going to have to cancel class.

He sat up, his world spinning, and feeling worse for wear, grabbed his phone and opened up his school emailing system.

“Hello Class, it seems I have come down with some sort of virus. I will be unable to attend class today and probably not Thursday either. Therefore, no class at at all this week. Enjoy the free days, I won’t be collecting your assignments; so take it as a free extension as well. See you all next week. -Sincerely, Professor Anderson.”

Levi laid back in his bed, slumped over and ready to let this cold take him into a 12 hour coma. However it wasn’t but 3 minutes after he sent the email, his phone started ringing. “Who the hell…”he sighed coming to and looking over at the screen of his phone. It was Remi. Figures.

“Yes?…Snnddff…” Levi answered the phone with a hoarse voice and a sniveling nose.

“You’re sick,” the voice on the other side sounded stern, cold almost as if he wasn’t pointing something out but in-fact stating it, with aggression.

“Yes…” the educator trailed off, unsure of why the other would be so, irate with him in this moment.

“Come over, let me take care of you,” pushing aside the fact his favorite white and black haired male hadn’t said a thing to him, but instead he had to find out through a class announcement, he got right to the reason he called.

“That would be…super weird..” the other hesitated now, his voice trailing off before he actually thought about the suggestion.

“Why?” Remi asked perplexed now, what could be so wrong about a student taking care of his ailing professor? It wasn’t a crime! Was it?

“Because, don’t you live with other students?” Truthfully, he didn’t know a whole lot about the student’s living situation. Lots of his students lived in dorms or in houses with other students.

“Nah, I live with some dudes I knew from my old middle school…they don’t go to college, and that’s all I can really say,” that was suspicious, and immediately the cat found himself more than intrigued. However, he respected the other’s wishes and didn’t press any further.

“Okay…well my house has privacy,” The professor stated a very real fact for them both to consider, seeing as he was sick as hell and would require peace.

“Mine does too! They’re gone for the week…come on, come over…” truthfully, Remi hated leaving his place. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to say yes and immediately take care of Levi where it was logically more convenient, and not to mention nicer. It’s just, leaving his place didn’t guarantee safety. He lived in a trap house. To spite his pompous father, which had advantages but disadvantages…no rent but often the people coming and going…would steal from him. He also wasn’t allowed to leave, unless for short trips, when the roomies were out of town, which albeit rare, but it was serious business. He was the only one protecting the house, and all the goods hidden inside it.

“I don’t know…..SNndFf..” Levi considered it but ultimately felt nervous. What if someone from school saw him pop in? How many people lived near by that attended his course? He bit his lower lip, sweating profusely he groaned. “I don’t feel well enough to drive….” Trying to come up with another excuse.

“I can come get you, my roomie left the keys to his car I can borrow it s’long as I don’t crash it,” the professor could almost hear the other’s body vibrating with pure excitement, so he sighed outwardly and shook his head.

“Alright…fine I’ll get my things together snnnddff…and we can go to yours this time,” he sounded defeated but he could just blame it on the illness coasting inside of him. He knew what he had done just a few days prior would come back to haunt him, terribly.

“Sick, okay, I’m gonna get the keys I’ll be there in 10,” before the educator had time to respond the wolf had hung up and he was met with the small chime that comes from the end of a call.

“Ugh, this dude is gonna get me into some serious trouble…” he sighed before shaking his head back and forth. Which only caused the brain in his skull to rattle around which made him swiftly grab at both sides of his temples, squeezing lightly. “Hnn…” he groaned in agony before taking a deep breath. He could do this.

His body slid its way out of bed and he managed to throw some underwear and his toothbrush into a backpack before he had to sit on the bathroom floor and hang his head, unable to keep it up. “Almost…done…” he sighed, out of breath though he had managed minimal progress. Was he really almost done? Nah, but in his soul, he truly was. Dragging his body back up off the floor he sighed, grabbing a pair of sweatpants and shoving them in his bag as well. That’s really all he needed for clothes right? He snuffled loudly, sliding his hand under his nostrils and leaving a shiny wet trail across his hand he grimaced. “Ugh Ew…” quickly he turned to grabbed a tissue off his nightstand and proceeded to wipe his hand clean, as well as his face. “I don’t know what I expected,” he shook his head again, slower this time, before realizing he needed to load up on meds.

Trying not to move too fast, or shall he pass out but, made haste into grabbing the medications he would need at the student’s abode. Tylenol, Motrin, ibuprofen, Nyquil, Dayquil, cough drops, mucinex…ear plugs, eye drops, anything really you might need for a mysterious virus. His backpack was now properly stuffed and he couldn’t be bothered to fit more if he wanted to. “Okay I think that’s good…” his lidded eyes blinked slowly as they scanned over his zipped up bag.

His phone suddenly went off, the ringtone he had set for Remi made him much more eager to answer. “You here?” He immediately asked, almost delusion-ally excited to spend more quality time with the student, but trying to keep it under wraps. He didn’t want it giving the other a big head.

“Yeah just pulled up,” he sounded much more casual than the first time they had spoken that day.

“Okay I'll be right down...' hanging up the phone before gathering his bag over his shoulder, he made sure he had his keys, all the electricity was off and the house was properly secured. Even though his head was pounding and he felt like he had been set on fire he was burning such a hot fever, he had to make sure things were in order for him to be gone. Who knows how long he'd be held up in Remi's place.

“Coo'…” Remi shot a quit answer before hanging up the phone, waiting almost equally as impatient and excited as the other. He took a deep breath, almost nervous, he'd been inside the professor's home. It was incredibly nice, well kept, modern....while where he lived was...falling apart, trashed, unmanaged. He knew it wasnt his fault it was like that. Any time he tried to take it by the balls and maintain order or cleanliness, he was either shot down or it was just destroyed within minutes of cleaning. It was just best he only focused on his own space. Least there was only one person to blame when that got messed up. He shook his head and bit his lower lip, despite the nerves he was determined to show the other man, he could be reliable; that the professor could count on him to be an equal partner.

Levi came toddling slowly to the vehicle and opened the passenger side door sliding his bag in first and awkwardly crumpling around it in his seat. "Hi," he sighed looking over at the other with an exhausted expression written all over his face. Remi clicked his tongue, shaking his head back and forth before he ran his fingers through Levi's slightly dampened locks of white hair.

"Hey there....sorry I got you sick," the raven haired man's lips slanted in disdain, he was genuinely upset with himself for having gotten the educator ill, but couldnt help but notice just how cute he looked. The tip of his nose was red and irritated from the constant rub of a tissue, his eyes were glossy and his cheeks were just slightly pink from the fever. Remi tried not to make it so obvious that his heart was racing through the cavity of his chest as he finally got an in person look at the cat.

"It's uhm....it's Huh'..." his nose tickled, and teased, he could feel an inevitably large sneeze approaching. He crooked his elbow while he settled into the car and covered his mouth. "Huh'TSCHHhiew!" he blew into the fabric of his hoodie. Remi, from the driver seat, doing his best to focus on the task of getting them safely back to his house, blushed brightly as he heard the other’s soft, yet audible explosion.

“Uh, Bless you there, kitten,” he smirked trying to remain that same calm, cool and collected man he usually projected himself to be. Levi also blushed now, just slightly embarrassed to be seen in such a state, perceived while ill. It was a new feeling, his ex wife tended to sleep at her mother’s whenever he had gotten sick in the past. It was, refreshing? That the wolf was so incredibly eager to take care of him and essentially was going out of his own way to prove that. Despite that he really didn’t want to, the educator wound up having to wipe his nose using the back of his sleeve, sighing deeply as he did so.

“Thank you…” he responded to Remi, trying to hide behind looking out the window after having cleaned his face quietly. He didn’t want to bring too much attention to himself, however, the more he tried to hide it, the more obvious it was. The wolf found it almost impossible to keep his eyes on the road, feeling like he was missing out on something extremely important all whilst the cat tuckered himself into a ball within his seat.

“Of course, we’re uh, almost to my place , promise,” hoping to reassure Levi who’s eyes fought to stay open the longer they were in the car, losing the battle through every second, yet his eyes snapped back open whenever the car jolted. He slowly turned his head , looking down, Remi had placed one hand at his thin thigh, gripping it with a loving force, and rubbing the space gently with the pad of his large thumb. The gesture, though small, sent the cat’s heart into a thudding frenzy, his cheeks turning red again. He looked away, biting his lower lip.

It was almost an awkward car ride, Levi hadn’t anticipated the other to be so…quiet? Where was the cocky know it all he was used to? This was interesting. As they pulled into the driveway of a home that would make anyone walk a little faster, Levi began to regain full consciousness.

“So, we’re here…it’s not the nicest and like…before you go in you need to know that MY space is clean, but there ain’t shit I can do about the rest…trust me I’ve tried,” shaking his head with shame he let out a deep breath, almost nervous he would be rejected for the state of his humble abode. Levi didn’t even care if they were going into a wet cave at this point he just knew he didn’t want to be conscious anymore. Nodding gently to show he at least acknowledged what the other had said to him, they slowly made their way out of the vehicle and into the house. Clinging to his backpack Levi almost felt cured of his eternal drowsiness, the place was filthy. Cans, bottles, everywhere, like they’d had 15 house parties in a row and didn’t clean up. He shuddered to himself trying to keep his thoughts inward and not make the other feel bad for his living environment. Remi just took the educator by his hand and led him through the pathway of clear floor amongst the garbage and misc. clutter.

“My room is down in the basement, it’s the only room that actually locks but….it’s always fucking cold, and I often forget to lock the bitch so I’ve had my shit nicked a few times,” the wolf sighed deeply with irritation, he really only had himself to blame when it came to him getting swiped on. It was every time he’d get overly excited to get to school, only to leave his door unlocked. He’s lost quite a bit this year.

Levi followed the wolf silently down the basement stairs to a relatively relaxing space. Freezing? Yes, but he noticed a large comforter and a few spare blankets nearby so, it probably wouldn’t be too bad. Tapestries and different posters strewn about the walls of the space. Remi had a large king sized bed, a dresser, space for a couch and coffee table, as well as a mini fridge. It really was almost like a small studio down in his bedroom just no bathroom or kitchen. “Home sweet home, make yourself comfortable,” he encouraged the other as he took his bag off his shoulders for him and set it nicely on the ground. Being in this space you would think that it was a completely different spot than upstairs, like you almost half expected a house as equally comfortable as his room was waiting on the other side of the door. That would be wishful thinking.

Levi shlucked his bag off his shoulders with the help of the other and when he got to his hoodie, he realized that the scent from the rest of the house had lingered within the cloth there. As the fabric pulled over his head and across his nose it caused a sudden series of explosions out of him. “—hah’ESHHh‘uh!!…S-sorr— H'ptschu! Hh’Etshu!” He suffered at the fate of foreign smells wreaking havoc upon his nasal cavity. “God that’s so embarrassing…” he whimpered as he realized a line of snot was dripping down his overfilled nose. Practically panicking as he looked around for a way to clean himself up.

“Hey, don’t worry…” the black haired male quickly grabbed a couple tissues and stepped forward, bringing his clothed hand to the other’s messy face, with gentle motion he wiped the sticky mess from Levi’s agitated flesh, looking over the other’s tired eyes with adoration. It caused the educator to feel incredibly small beneath his gaze, almost wishing he could cut the distance with a desperate kiss…but they both remained as they were. The larger eventually finished his task and pulled his hand away, tossing the tissue into a nearby waste bin. “All good to go,” he smiled at the other. Levi blushed softly, before he felt his lips pull up into an involuntary smile as well, unable to place the fluttering inside his chest.

“Thanks…” the leopard cleared his throat grateful for the other’s attention, but very much not used to it as he felt the tingles of butterflies overcome him. “So I just…slide in here then?” The professor felt out of place, almost awkward, this was new for him…giving responsibility to someone else, allowing himself to be vulnerable.

“Yeah, just make yourself comfortable however you need…did you bring meds and stuff?” He asked curiously, picking Levi’s bag up off the floor to almost silently ask if this would be their location. Levi nodded simply in response, stripping himself down to his boxers and his standard shirt before he crawled into the large blanket and sheets, slightly shivering from the cold temperature of the basement. “Have you taken anything yet?” Remi once again speaking to Levi, but looking through his bag, taking out the aide he had brought with.

“No nothing yet…sDnnFf,” he snuffled loudly while he watched the other organize his things into the side table of the bed.

“Okay so then I’ll give you some nyquil, and mucinex and hopefully that should help clear you up at least…and get you some rest,” the wolf didn’t know much about medications or taking care of someone, so most of the things he was doing, or planned to, he was also googling on his phone.

Can you mix nyquil and mucinex?

Yes. They contain different ingredients. Just don’t mix Mucinex DM with Nyquil.

Cool. He wasn’t trying to overdose his professor on cold medication by accident. Dosing the medication correctly he brought it carefully to the ailing male. “Open up,” he smirked with a tablespoon of nyquil. Levi rolled his swollen cerulean eyes before opening his maw lazily, almost squinting to brace for the nasty taste of the meds. “Good boy,” something about that made the educator vibrate and burn within his spot on the bed. If he wasn’t terribly ill…that might have made it impossible to deny the student any longer. He gracefully swallowed down the medication and smiled when the spoon left his mouth.

“Thank you,” Levi wiped the sides of his mouth now, groaning as he laid back to get comfortable again.

“Hold on, you gotta take the mucinex too…” Remi reached over to grab the other’s hand, both of them freezing in place as it dawned on them how touch starved they were even if it had only been a few days since they last seen each other.

“S-sorry…” Levi cleared his throat before sitting back up carefully, the wolf chuckled shaking his head softly before grabbing the pill and handing it to the smaller male. The white haired man popped it into his mouth and Remi was quick behind him with a water bottle. It had been on his night stand for a few days but it hadn’t been opened or even the seal cracked so, he knew it was still a viable option.

“Don’t be sorry…” brushing a few strands of white hair away, that had been stuck to the educator’s clammy forehead. “I like taking care of you,” he smiled softly, the softest the other had ever seen him truthfully. Levi blushed brightly, as if his face wasn’t red enough. He nervously looked away unable to keep eye contact anymore as he felt the embarrassment rise within him. He was so used to being the one in charge, it was always so foreign when he was with the dominant student.

“You do?” Levi asked the raven haired male shyly, before the wolf gripped the other’s chin softly in his index and thumb, bringing it over to face him again.

“Absolutely…it’s times like these that I can show you what you’d be getting if you just chose me,” his voice smooth, Husky even as he exposed his truth.

“You know I-…” Levi started, again trying to speak logically, but then was suddenly cut off by a much more solemn Remi.

“I know…humor me? Just tonight?” He almost sounded like he was due to break, his heart not wanting to be reminded of their particular situation, and how often the professor rejected him.

“Ok—HET’Shhh’eu, h-Hh’Etshu !!” Yet again, cut off by the sudden force of an irritating tickle becoming a full fledged release. It didn’t give him much time to cover but he flung his head to the side and sneezed outwardly past Remi’s face, a fine mist barely skirting past the other’s surprised features.

“Bless you, kitten,” he smirked bringing his index up to wipe at the leaking mess from the ailing one’s nose.

“Thanks…snNdDff….” Reaching over for one of the tissues in the box at the night stand, Remi presented it then to Levi, who took it gently in his hand. As he rubbed the soft material against his aching nostrils, his glassy ceruleans looked down, between himself, they crossed over and Remi couldn’t help but feel his breath catch at the base of his throat.

“No problem….” He sat there almost stuck solid as he stared openly at the other tending himself. He bit his lower lip while another blush fell across his cheeks. The cat looked up, and noticed the other intrances upon him…he cleared his throat.

“Feelin’ kind of sleepy…” yawning, trying to avoid eye contact, the other baring down on him was almost too much to take. He’d never, felt so admired. He had to keep remembering and reminding himself of their structure, he couldn’t let his guard down…but he was so weak to resist.

“Oh, yeah, of course…tuck in, I gotta uhm,” he swallowed harshly before swiftly coming to a full stand, coughing slightly to clear the air. “Study,” nodding seriously, he looked about Levi’s snuggled up body and the area next to him to make sure he had everything he would need. “Let me know if you need me, ok?” Remi smiled sincerely at the smaller of the two, tenderly caressing his flushed and warm freckled cheek. The leopard almost melted under the simple gesture but instead buried himself deeper within the comfort of the bed. Nodding his head slowly in response to the last thing Remi had to say.

Remington stood there for a bit, waiting to make sure the other fell asleep before he returned to his small corner desk. A dinky collapsible lamp that was gorilla glued to the wall, pointed downward upon an array of papers, utensils and books. He sighed quietly trying to keep himself from being too loud in his distaste for the dive he was about to do. Sliding regrettably into his uncomfortable fold out chair, he began to mull over the last place he was at in his process.

An hour went by of silent concentration from Remi, the educator having fell fast asleep, hard as his lips gapped open and he drooled slightly out the side of his mouth. Normally he was a much prettier sleeper but, when he was ill it was pointless. He snored gently, the sound almost comforting to the student, a reminder that he wasn’t here alone for once. At some point he couldn’t stand that his back was facing the ailing man, so without a sound, he got up, turned his chair and faced the other as he slept, scooting a bit closer to the bed than the desk itself. He just longed to be near the man, he bit his lower lip, he would do anything for him if he was being completely honest with himself.

He shook his head gently and returned to look at the book within his lap, letting out a disappointed exhale before returning to his obligation. He knew if he wanted Levi to take him seriously, he was going to need to pass and graduate. Prove to him he was capable of growth, and being his equal. Regardless of how the two started.

Levi stirred, rubbing at his nose sleepily without lifting his eyelids, he tightened his grip upon the corner of the blanket and shoveled it around his chin tightly. His nose wiggled despite the previous nudge. It frustrated him, though still asleep, he could feel a building agitation prickling beneath the canals of his sensitive and reddened nose.

Remi had immediately picked up on the other’s distress, hearing the blanket shuffle. His emerald greens glanced over to stare intently at the sickly man. He cocked a brow while he watched closely to the way the other’s thin brows furrowed with retaliation and his bridge crinkled with defiance. The wolf stood up slowly, setting his book aside before he walked over to the small man, who’s eyes were still squeezed shut. He ran his calloused hand through the strands of hair peaking out of the blanket shield. “It’s okay, kitten,” he cooed the male smoothly, his voice gentle, kind. Immediately the educator’s face almost softened before his whole body jolted, contracting inside the blankets.

“HDGXNT!” Muffled by the fabric of Remi’s down blanket, but the wolf smiled rubbing the pad of his thumb across Levi’s heated forehead.

“That can’t feel good, muffling them like that…” he spoke with that same reserve of patience and care. The leopard sniffled gently, his nose being free, compared to his mouth hidden by the material. Without opening his eyes, the professor slid the blanket down his gapping maw, wet and glistening around the edges of his lips from the humidity behind the blanket. Remi swallowed nervously, trying to remain the same, calm, capable man he had been this entire time.

“Eh’ehTSHU!! huh’TSCHHhieww!!” He finally released the demons from within him as a fine cloud of salivic spray drifted through the space before dissipating completely. Remi sucked in a deep breath as he watched the other’s slicked mouth explode so openly now in front of him. ‘In due time Rem…nows not the moment…’ he thought inwardly to himself before rubbing the pad of his thumb gently through the other’s dampened eyebrow.

“That’s gotta feel much better, hm?” He gave the other a gentle smile, and finally those lidded, glossy ceruleans he loved so much, peered up at him though his eyelashes, in the same instance, his arms unveiled themselves and he reached outward for the other.

“I’d…feel beddar ib you came here?” The black haired man almost stood frozen, stunned that the other was craving…him. He blinked his green orbs a few times before he nodded gently.

“You’ve come to the right place then!” He chuckled as they both worked in unison to make enough room for each other to slide in together like two puzzle pieces. Remi entangled the other within his arms and rested his chin against the top of Levi’s soft head of hair. Running a flat palm up and down the educator’s spine, causing him to groan subconsciously. “That’s it, just relax…I’ve got you, it’s okay,” the words, and the strong arms squeezed around his aching body, made Levi feel like a melting slab of butter. He had never felt more uncomfortable and comfortable at the same time. While he felt like an entire pile of dog shit, this man was practically his knight and shining armor of illness. How did he get so lucky to have his undivided attention? Levi’s face pressed against the other’s slowly rising and falling chest, the beat of his heart faster than one’s rate should be.

Levi flushed, he knew why it sounded like that, as their bodies tangled around one another intimately. He knew he should pull away, try to show some restraint and boundaries but at this point it just felt too good, too right. They laid there until once more, the leopard found himself asleep.

A Few Hours Later…

The educator woke up in confusion, blankets tangled around his thin legs, his back against the bed and body sprawled in different directions, but the most important piece was, Remi was missing. He clasped his lips together, smacking to regain some sense of hydration from the consistent mouth breathing he had been doing. “R-Rem?” He managed through his dry maw whilst he peaked about the room. He noticed it was incredibly dark, normally one wouldn’t be able to see, but he relatively could. What he saw was, a missing Remi. He furrowed his brows and stepped out of the bed.

He shuffled gently to keep his leaking nose at bay while he trailed silently out of the basement and up the stairs. The educator walked in to the kitchen first. No Remi. But there were piles of dishes, filthy, stacked high in multiple columns about the small counter. It was dingy, grungy and musty, it looked like no one swept or mopped in this home since they moved in. A travesty. How was the other eating his meals? This was atrocious.

His heart started to ache within the cavity of his chest as he continued to search the house, catching a glimpse of the occasional skittering bug…he shivered. As he wondered into what he could assumed was the living space, also littered in trash and random hoarded items, a single couch and a relatively nice tv. Regardless of its poorly state, he noticed Remi, passed out on the couch with his assigned book in hand and a half burned out cigarette in the other. Levi shook his head with a small smile. He shouldn’t be sleeping amongst this slum. The cat found a space to sit next to the sleeping man who was half sitting up, half laying down.

“Hey…Rem…” he wiggled the other’s shoulder with his palm. “Remi….” He got a bit louder as he started to find the task at hand to be a bit…challenging. He furrowed his brows and huffed, what was he to do? Taking in a deep breath he slid up and into the student’s lap, bringing a hand up to caress the side of his face gently. “Remi come on, come sleep in the bed…” trying a more audible tone of voice this time, he watched the other’s eyeballs flex and twitch under his lids before eventually they creeped open slowly.

“Hnn…?” He stirred and looked now at the other in his lap, and registered what was happening. He blushed. Brightly. Then stuttered when he spoke. “I-I …uhm…fell asleep s-studying…” he swallowed hard, trying his damn best to not maul the small male alive. He couldn’t believe how tempting this entire situation had been. He had to sneak away when Levi fell asleep, he had to. It was too intoxicating watching his mouth separate and breath openly and obnoxiously with that cherry red complexion. When he had been sure the educator was asleep asleep, he snuck out to the living room, to avoid distraction and was studying out there when he fell asleep.

“Why are you out here?” Levi asked with a frustrated expression and it made the larger feel incredibly regrettable, but also his heart skipped a beat…he genuinely was upset they weren’t cuddling in bed still. That had to mean something.

“I didn’t want to bother you…you were so peaceful, but I needed to read…” he replied sheepishly, and the professor smiled with a tenderness that softened the overall atmosphere of the room. He leaned into the other, comforted again by the sound of his thudding heart.

“Your presence is healing…” Levi whispered against him, whom could only blink a few times into the space ahead of him before looking down to see the other had closed his eyes.

“Yeah?” Asking in disbelief, no one had ever told him that before. Usually they said the opposite.

“Yeah…” he drifted off as his body got comfortable again, regardless that it smelled much worse out here than it had down in Remi’s room.

“Here, lemme get you in bed, Kay?” His glistening emeralds bore down onto the wheezing professor as his labored breathing became a deep sigh.

“M’k..” he responded lazily pausing, inevitably finishing his thought. “Carry me?” He looked up at the man now, making eye contact, they sat there in a comforting silence before Remi’s lips pulled up into a tender smile.

“You got it,” sliding an arm up under the educator’s knees, and supporting his back before lifting them both up and off the couch. Without hesitation Remi made his way back into the bedroom within a matter of minutes; but yet again the cool air hit Levi’s bare legs, he shuddered weakly shoveling himself closer into the wolf’s heated chest. “I know, it’ll warm up in a second when we get under the blankets…”

“Don’t you have a heater?” Levi asked curiously, his voice slightly hoarse as he looked up to gaze at the bottom view of Remi’s face as they walked around the basement to their destination.

“Nah…” he replied dryly while they crossed the threshold of the room and to the bed .

“You can’t keep living like this…” Levi furrowed his brows trying to get the other to give him even a little bit of a gaze.

“It’s only a few more months…” shrugging his shoulders in another solid attempt to push off the squaller he knew he lived in. Was it pretty? No. It had potential, and at least his section of the house was well kept and bug free.

“Okay, then move in with me.” This caught them both off guard but Levi stood by it. Remi now setting the man down onto the bed he made eye contact finally staring him blankly in the face trying to search for a punchline, like he’d been told a joke.

“What?” He blinked in confusion and frankly disbelief, was he hearing what he WANTED to hear ? Or was he hearing it for what it was?

“Move in with me,” he repeated himself sincerely “No wonder you’re always exhausted…this isn’t a healthy or stable environment for you to be in Rem…” looking up at the other as Remi stood over him flabbergasted.

“….you serious?” The student almost couldn’t believe what he was hearing, was he daydreaming? Regular dreaming? No way he was awake right now as he looked at Levi dumbfounded.

“Dead,” the educator remained calm, steady in his decision. He couldn’t possibly allow him to live like this any longer now that he knew what the other was dealing with. Besides, he had a spare room, it didn’t have to be weird.

“Won’t you get in trouble?” Remi raised a brow, trying to call for a bluff that wasn’t being presented to him.

“Just don’t tell anyone and have all school related things sent to your parent’s address,” it was almost like he was too confident, too prepared. It was odd. Remi didn’t know how to feel or really react but his heart was racing a million miles per minute. Was he in? Or was he just taking pity on him? He still couldn’t be too sure, all he knew was he couldn’t wait to wake up everyday next to the professor.

“Easy enough I suppose,” he finally responded with a sly, sarcastic smirk now spreading across his face as he watched Levi get settled and comfortable in the bed finally as he replied.

“Is that a yes?” Looking up, flattening the blankets around him with his scattering palms.

“Are you, eager for that answer?” Licking his lips, the wolf bore down over him, sitting beside him now, but still somehow hovering.

“….yes…” looking down at his fingers trying not to meet the other’s hardening gaze

“Why? Why me?” He got close, so close his breath could be felt ghosting across the other’s face with anticipation for his answer. This was such a different man than what he was used to all these months. Was he finally warming up?

“You deserve better…you’re a good man, Remington…I just want the best for you,” blushing brighter than his sickly face already was, he looked up to meet the other’s gaze, they both melted. Remi chewed on his lower lip as he searched for a sign, something that would expose that this was all just a dream. Yet, he found nothing but sincerity as they stared into each other.

“…okay,” he responded shortly, almost as if he was holding his breath.

“Okay?” Levi questioned the other. He was usually so gung-ho, so quick, where was this sudden spout of insecurity coming from? He couldn’t get a proper read and it was frustrating in itself.

“Okay, I’ll move in with you,” Remi finally said more clearly that it made the smaller beam, but slowly, and in a gentle gesture.

“Okay,” he replied trying his best not to vibrate where he sat.

“So like, just for the rest of the semester or…?” Trying to clarify that he didn’t over stay his welcome in the next coming months.

“Well, we can cross that bridge….you should probably have a job before I go kicking you out at any point,” The other chuckled softly, with a slightly hoarse wheeze to it.

“What a thoughtful landlord,” Remi winked, smirking down at the other with playfulness.

“Landlord? Oof…” the white haired male shook his head slowly and couldn’t believe what he was really getting himself into. Yet, here he was, practically bouncing in his seat to set ahead into the future.

“You just love having control over me don’t you?” Again, the student teased the professor, but this caused Levi to slightly jolt and snap his gaze up to look Remi in the face again.

“Wh-wha!!! I!?” But cut off by a booming laugh emitting from the wolf’s chest.

“I’m just joking, relax kitten!…” he reached over to caress his softened freckled cheek, reassuring the man he was just being silly. “Besides…I know it’s only because of the control I have over you,” winking at him now with a cheesy smirk spread across his face.

“Uh?? What control? You don’t have control over me!” Rolling his bagged ceruleans, the other was clearly still exhausted from his illness but he couldn’t break himself away from the playful conversation between them.

“I don’t huh?” His glowing emerald eyes glared almost animalistic-ally now while they traced the other’s features slowly. He zeroed in on the professor’s blushing face, his chaffed nostrils and chapped lips. Holding back the demons within him to not have his way.

“N-no!” Sticking out his pale colored tongue, which snapped Remi out of his soon to be problematic behavior, and remembered that Levi was still ill. He rolled his emerald greens and shook his head.

“Fine, I’ll give you this one…but you need to rest up more…” The student now sounding much more stern, it made the educator tingle, and his flesh raised in bumps. He tried to push it aside and ignore it by changing the subject.

“Okay, but when I wake up again….can we order some pho? I’ll pay…I just really want some seafood soup…” he smiled shyly up at Remi who could only smirk at the other, crawling into the bed beside him and enveloping the cat in his arms.

“Absolutely we can, and I’ll pay…don’t even try to fight me on it,” he pushed his forehead to the other’s clammy one, emphasizing he meant business. Levi let out a small giggle before yet another prickling tease started to crawl through the walls of his nose, causing his whole body to tremble and shiver.

“Hey, you ca—Eh-TSHU!!” He covered himself by pushing his mouth into the wolf’s chest. The space now slick with mess and sick. He didn’t mind, in fact, Remi couldn’t help but chuckle at the other’s weakened disposition running his hand through those messy white threads of hair. He was just too cute…too delicious. He thought of the many different ways he could use this to his advantage but all instead he chose the long game. He would have the other, certainly, but not like this.

“I don’t think you have much a choice there, kitten,” leaning over he kissed the professor on the top of his head before whispering gently. “Just relax…you need to rest,” snuggling closer together. Levi almost forgot he was fighting against his own desires as he lost himself within the other’s tenderness, and care. He had never had anyone in his life treat him so gently before, with so much consideration. All he could do was nuzzle closer into the crook of the other’s armpit and nod his head in agreement, sniffling and snobbling, the sounds echoing off the walls before they eventually silenced, and he fell back asleep.

Empowering Senior Care with Expert Care Managers

In today’s fast-paced world, where time is often a scarce commodity, caring for our senior citizens requires not just love and attention but also specialized expertise and management skills. This is where the role of Care Managers becomes crucial. Care Managers are trained professionals who specialize in assessing, planning, and coordinating care for the elderly, especially those with complex health needs. They serve as a bridge between the elderly, their families, and healthcare systems, ensuring that seniors receive the best possible care tailored to their individual needs. Hiring a Care Manager can significantly enhance the quality of life for senior citizens, offering peace of mind to both the seniors and their families. In this blog post, we delve into the reasons why hiring a Care Manager is a smart decision for caring for our aging loved ones.

Personalized Care and Support

One of the primary benefits of having a Care Manager is the ability to provide personalized care and support. Each senior citizen is unique, with their own set of health issues, preferences, and lifestyles. Care Managers take the time to understand these individual needs and create a care plan that addresses them specifically. This personalized approach ensures that seniors receive the care that is most effective for them, rather than a one-size-fits-all solution. Care Managers are adept at adjusting care plans as the needs of the senior change over time, providing a dynamic and responsive approach to elderly care.

Expert Navigation of Healthcare Systems

Navigating the healthcare system can be a daunting task, especially for seniors and their families who might not be familiar with the complexities of medical care and insurance. Care Managers come with the expertise to guide families through this maze of healthcare. They understand the intricacies of medical systems, insurance coverages, and available resources, making them invaluable in planning and coordinating care. By leveraging their knowledge, Care Managers can help in making informed decisions, reducing unnecessary hospital visits, and ensuring that seniors receive appropriate and cost-effective care.

Providing Emotional Support and Reducing Family Stress

The emotional aspect of caring for elderly loved ones is often overwhelming for families. Care Managers provide not only practical support but also emotional and psychological support to both the seniors and their families. They act as a confidant and advisor, helping to alleviate the stress and anxiety that comes with caring for aging relatives. This support is crucial in maintaining the overall well-being of the family unit, allowing members to spend quality time with their elderly loved ones without the constant worry of health and care management.

Coordination with Multiple Service Providers

One of the more challenging aspects of elder care is coordinating various services such as home healthcare, physiotherapy, and medical appointments. Care Managers excel in this area. They act as a central point of communication, coordinating with different service providers to ensure seamless care. This coordination is crucial for maintaining a consistent and effective care regimen. Care Managers also keep all parties informed, reducing the likelihood of misunderstandings or missed appointments. This level of coordination not only ensures that seniors receive all the services they need but also simplifies the process for families.

Crisis Management and Emergency Preparedness

Emergencies and unforeseen health issues are an inevitable part of caring for senior citizens. Care Managers are trained to handle such crises efficiently. They can quickly assess the situation, make informed decisions, and coordinate necessary services or medical interventions. Their presence provides a safety net for seniors and families, ensuring that in times of crisis, there is a professional ready to take charge and provide guidance. This aspect of a Care Manager’s role is particularly valuable for families who live far from their elderly relatives or have demanding schedules that make immediate responses difficult.

Long-Term Planning and Preventive Care

Care Managers are not just focused on immediate needs; they also assist in long-term planning, including preventive care to maintain the health and wellness of seniors. They can help in planning for future healthcare needs, financial planning for care expenses, and even legal matters related to elder care. By looking at the big picture, Care Managers ensure that the seniors are well-prepared for the future, reducing potential complications or crises down the line. This foresight into long-term planning is a significant advantage for families, providing a sense of security and preparedness for what lies ahead.

Conclusion

The indispensable role of Care Managers in elder care shines through their multifaceted approach. They not only tailor personalized support and navigate complex healthcare systems, but also offer emotional support, coordinate various services, manage crises, and plan for the long term. This comprehensive strategy not only enhances the lives of seniors but also offers families invaluable support. In an era where healthcare complexity and daily life demands can overwhelm, Care Managers emerge as vital allies in ensuring our senior citizens receive deserved care and respect. For those caring for elderly loved ones or planning for the future, enlisting a Care Manager’s services represents a wise, proactive approach to compassionate and effective elder care.
