BG3 Companions When Tav/Reader is sick

Warnings: general sick talk

Post-game (enough that I'm saying Karlach is home for good she deserves it), romantic, Gale, Halsin, Wyll and Karlach

Gale

The hardest part about being sick while also being Gale's partner, is that the man craves constant physical contact. Being secluded in his home for so long led him to find himself rather touch starved, noticing his yearning soon after your first time together. You being sick and him being a professor did not mix, his students' education depended on him, although the back pain from sleeping on the chaise by the fireplace has been testing that resolve. Tara is the resident messenger, keeping a close eye on you and making sure Gale knows every detail, from you waking up for a moment to you spilling your guts, even if you ask her not to. There's a part of you that's relieved that he doesn't see how gross you feel, but the other part really just wants your husband to come hold you. That being said, if your illness persists more than a few days, Gale is not only seeking medicinals from the local apothecary, but his resolve has totally broken. Sure, he puts some precautionary measures in place, using a spell or potion to boost his immunity, but he didn't care if he got sick anymore. So, after a few painful days of blatant yearning between the two of you, you finally got a decent night's sleep with your head on his chest.

Halsin

If anyone's prepared to fuss over a sick Tav, it's Halsin. He's over 350 years old, and has plenty of experience caring for ill companions. He has a small list of foods that are safe for consumption in your state, even if you might not be able to keep things down right away, he'll encourage you try to eat a little every once in a while. 350 years and his elven immune system have made him very resistant to illness, but even if that wasn't the case, Halsin would still spend his time as close as he can get to you, soothing your aches and chills with his body heat is surely better than any old blanket. He often rests his hand over your stomach, skin to skin, rubbing soft circles with his thumb idly.

Wyll

The man is very upset. Since reconciling with his father and leaving Mizora's deal behind, you and Wyll have been living quite lavishly in Baldur's Gate. That being said, he has unfortunately been given quite stern directions to stay away from you while you're ill. The maids and the private nurses will handle your recovery, and they'll handle it well, but Wyll misses you. So, the only solution is to sneak himself into your room in the dead of night. You only ever wake up a little bit, just enough to get yourself comfortable in his arms. And although his presence has no actual healing powers, the tension in your muscles seems to fade as he holds you close while you drift back to sleep. These nightly visits aren't without issue, though, as not only is Wyll reprimanded by the maids that came to care for you in the morning, but it also doesn't take very long for him to get sick as well. He doesn't seem to mind all that much, though, since now he can stay with you.

Karlach

You'll never have to worry about those pesky chills with Karlach keeping you nice and toasty in your shared bed. She does get a little sad when you say you're too hot, but will change from a full assault cuddle to just having her arm draped across your belly. Her hands are wonderful for working out any aches, all she has to do is use her hand as a heating pad. She does her best, but she's antsy for the day you feel better! Karlach doesn't do well being cooped up, but she doesn't wanna just leave you in your misery. So, as compromise, she runs the errands for you two. Medicine, groceries, maybe she'll even splurge and get you a brand new comforter with a fancy feather filling. She'll stop by the Duke's place to visit Wyll, maybe even bringing home a nurse or doctor to give you a once-over. Her immune system is crazy, she's very much not worried about catching whatever it is you have, so she's all over you for cuddles and kisses just as she always is, since there's no way she's not touching you.
