===================================================

✦ saiki is a bit clueless how to take care of people when they’re sick, but he’s a smart guy. observing how his parents would take care of each other, combined with his knowledge about medicine and the human body, he may be a bit stiff, but he kinda knows what he’s doing.

✦ he’ll ask his mom for advice, and she’ll make soup for you. she makes him deliver it.

✦ saiki will linger around you for a bit, a bit unsure and hesitant to ask, but he’ll try to read your mind to see what you need. this is your chance to order him around, he’ll do nearly anything that you ask of him. 

✦ he wishes he could just heat your body up to kill all the germs, but he realizes quickly that doing that might actually just harm you. even if you knew about his powers he doesn’t want to risk hurting you further.

✦ if you’re tired he’ll occupy himself in your room while you rest. he’ll keep a close eye on you though, and will wander over and admire your face while you’re resting. if he’s feeling bold (which he is), he’ll gently cup your cheek, and brush his thumb alongside your cheekbone. watching your lips form to a little smile is worth the slight embarrassment. if he’s feeling REALLY bold (which he is), he’ll plant a kiss on your forehead. he’ll deny doing both of these if you call him out on it.

✦ he doesn’t mind laying down with you either. you don’t even have to properly ask, he’ll practically leap into your arms if you outstretch them. he doesn’t want to fall asleep, but your head fits so perfectly between his neck and shoulder, and you’re so warm that he winds up dozing off too.

✦ if you’re a bit too nice and try to usher him away because you “don’t want him to get sick”, he’ll get visibly annoyed because he literally cannot get sick. he also doesn’t want you worrying about him.

✦ he will use his powers to keep his own body cool so that you don’t overheat, as well as wipe any sweat off your forehead. despite his laziness, he’ll eventually wake up and feel awake, but you’re clinging to him so tightly he doesn’t want to disturb you. he’ll just read a book until you wake up fully.

✦ he’ll eliminate anything that could be causing you discomfort. is there a noisy sprinkler outside? he’ll stop it. are you uncomfortable? he’ll adjust things to make sure you can lay peacefully. are there too many people in your house? he’ll send them out for a while, or he’ll teleport the two of you back to his home. 

✦ if you missed school, he’ll bring the notes to you. he won’t do your homework for you, but he’ll definitely lend a hand. he won’t let you copy, but he’ll sit by you so you don’t get too stressed out.

✦ saiki tends to slip out of social situations when he has to, but he’s different with you because he likes you, so he’ll actually stick pretty close until you feel better. although he will pull away a bit once you recover, but he’s an introvert, what can you do. he’ll take a favor from you as payment for his care when he feels like it.
