Someone with a bunch of energy and a lot to do succumbing to a cold slowly as their activity burns on. Be it a party, photoshoot, etc, any public event with a few people and obligations for the sick person in question.
They’re buzzing around, trying to conversate with everyone they’re supposed to, keeping an eye on time-sensitive issues and all the while not noticing a vague… icky feeling outside of chalking it up as jitters.
Mid-conversation they’re interrupted by a burst of dry coughing and hear a faint scratchiness in their voice.
“Are you okay?” “Yeah, don’t mind me, just a tickle in my throat, now where were we?”
They continue, the cough only getting more and more obtrusive until they break off from everyone else to have uninterrupted coughing fits that leave their hair damp with sweat and their cheeks rosy. They feel a little sluggish now and they step slower.
They’re back to zipping about, their throat sore and scratchy, and they’re on an energy high, getting as much done as they can, trying to squeeze out a positive expression as they get uncomfortable.
Then they start sneezing, wet, harsh sneezes shielded by a cloth napkin, fashionable pocket square, or a tissue, and suddenly they feel lethargic and achy, and they just want to go home, feeling feverish shivers crawl up their spine as they stagger over to their partner near the car.
“You all burnt out?” “I suppose- Ah’tschiew! Ah… A-Ah’tschiew!- ‘Scuse me… *sniffle*” “ You sound like you’ve come down with something,” “More like something dragged me down with it, uch- AH’TSCHIEW!” “Well then, it’s home and then into bed so you can rest,”
When you said vi is diagnosed with baby I just pictured bee getting smaller and smalller,gaining a lisp,etc, and leif and kabbu are distraught meanwhile vi is just really annoyed

A has a cold and is so congested that they’re struggling to fall asleep. Eventually, they manage to pass out, too exhausted to stay awake any longer, but they keep sniffling and coughing in their sleep, keeping B awake. So B gently slips a cough drop between their lips, and when A wakes up, they realize what B has done for them during the night and thanks them with mentohol flavoured kisses.

Am I the only one that really enjoys the exhaustion part of a whump fic? Like for example:
A character has pretty bad flu/cold and it knocks down their energy reserves. So much so that they can fall asleep anywhere at any time. And while their caretaker is by their side, comforting them, they just slowly rest their head against the caretaker’s shoulder and just… doze off. Without warning. And when the caretaker wants to get up, they notice the skight weight on their shoulder and decide to stay a little longer.
A character is exhausted from either a coughing fit, sneezing fit, etc. and when they finish they slowly rest their head onto the nearest surface and the caretaker has to try and drag them up gently to their room.
Bonus points if:
The character starts to snore with heavy amounts of congestion into the mix.
The character ONLY snores when sick.
The character is usually a light sleeper, but can’t even be woken up when sick.
The team having a long night’s rest by the campfire. Looks comfy
I had this idea in my head for WAY too long.
“They’re exhausted.”
what’s that buzzing sound?
