When Jaune saw Vi’s scars, the team were worried that she would stop Vi from exploring. But fortunately she didn’t.
How long does A manage to hide the symptoms of their diagnosis before their friends finally find out?
I love super fussy caretakers so much. As soon as their partner starts coming down with the slightest cold symptoms, they’re already doting on them with tea, soup, backrubs, and wrapping them in blankets.
If the sickie still has to go to work or school, the caretaker is insistent about them wearing lots of warm layers and sends them off with a travel mug of tea and slips extra soft tissues into their pocket.
And when the sickie comes home later, tired and their cold much worse, their partner blesses all their stuffy sneezes sympathetically and cuddles them on the couch for the rest of the night, with lots of blankets and soup. 💜

This is a super SUPER late birthday fic for @shiveringsickies who’s wonderful and amazing and deserves all the good things in life.

The week before finals is, by far, the absolute most stressful event in anyone’s academic career. Add in being a complete perfectionist, and you’re in for an especially rough time.
Shiro is in that boat right now - alternating between pulling all nighters and sleeping for only a couple of hours. By the time Friday rolls around, he’s bone-tired and more than ready to sleep for a year straight. Except, he has to work, and he still feels like he has so much to study that he’s not sure when he’ll be able to actually sleep.
“Dude, you look beat,” Hunk says, raising a brow.
“Yeah…well…it’s finals week,” he mutters, rubbing his eyes sleepily, “why don’t you look like you’re about to fall asleep?”
“My finals finished two days ago…and then I slept for an entire day and a half.”
“How? Finals week doesn’t start until Monday.”
“I’m graduating tomorrow,” he grins.
“Oh right…congrats, man. That’s awesome,” Shiro says, shooting him a weak smile.
Hulk grimaces, “when’s the last time you slept?”
“Uh…I think I’ve been up for thirty two hours.”
“Shiro.”
“I know, I know…I’m pretty sure I’ve only slept about ten hours this week.”
“You need to sleep. Go home.”
“Can’t…I have to work.”
“I’m your boss, did you forget that?” Hunk grins.
“But-”
“-No buts. Seriously, I’ll get someone to cover your shift, we’ll be fine. Everyone is busy studying for finals, I really don’t think there will be many people needing the RA on duty. Go home and sleep.”
“Okay,” Shiro mumbles, “sleep sounds nice.”
“I’ll bet it does. Let me know if you need anything.”

When Shiro wakes up, his entire body aches with an intensity that nearly brings tears to his eyes. He feels so aggressively awful that he doesn’t really know…what…to do. He’s freezing, it feels like there’s ice water in his veins, and he can’t stop shivering.
He rolls onto his back, trying to ignore how raw and swollen his throat feels, and how much pressure he feels in his sinuses and behind his eyes. He sniffles, rubbing at his nose as he blinks heavily - he’s not entirely sure what day it is, but he just wants to go back to sleep.
Shiro forces himself out of bed anyways, because if the dizzy, light-headed feeling is anything to go by, he needs to try and eat something. He pulls the blankets around his shoulders and shuffles out into the living room area, muffling a cough into one of the corners of the blanket.
Lance is sitting on the couch, reading one of the books from his literature class when Shiro walks out.
“Are you alright?” Lance frowns, eyebrows furrowing when he takes in Shiro’s appearance.
“Umb…I think I’mb sick,” he rasps, voice weak and thick with congestion.
“Yeah, no shit, Shiro. You’re shivering, come sit down, what do you need?”
“I wandted sombe food…and mbaybe tea. Mby throat is killing mbe,” he grunts, dropping down onto the couch and curling into himself. He readjusts the blanket so that he’s laying underneath it.
“What sounds good?”
“Ndothing really…i’mb dizzy, though.”
“You’ve been living on coffee and energy drinks the last week. You’re probably way dehydrated.”
“Probably,” he mumbles, drawing his knees to his chest as he shivers again.
Lance rests his hand on Shiro’s forehead, “shit…no wonder you’re shivering so much, you’re burning up.”
“Thought so…what day is it?”
“Saturday night.”
“What?”
“Yeah, it’s eight.”
“Are you serious?”
“…Um…yeah? Why would I lie?”
“I wasted the endtire day,” he groans, “I have to study.”
“You have studied - all week - and now you’re sick. You need to get some sleep.”
“I kndow,” Shiro sniffles, “I’mb freezing…cand I have andother blanket?”
“You never admit you’re sick,” Lance frowns, walking over to the other side of the room to grab him another one, “what gives?”
“I feel awful,” he mumbles, pressing his face into the cushions. Lance drapes a blanket over him, which doesn’t seem to help him feel any less cold, and it doesn’t make the shivers abate at all.
“Yeah,” Lance frowns, feeling his cheek, “I want to get a read on your temperature, hold on.”
“Ugh…okay,” he groans.
His phone rings, and it takes a couple of minutes of him trying to figure out what’s buzzing before he realizes it’s his phone. His brain feels sluggish and hazy, and he almost just ignores the call.
But, he figures he probably shouldn’t do that, so he fumbles with it for a few moments before he’s finally able to answer.
“Hello?” He croaks, rubbing at his forehead as he tries not to cough all over his phone.
“Hey, man. You know you’re supposed to be working, right? Keith just called, he said nobody can get ahold of you,” Hunk says.
“I…what?”
“Are you alright?”
“I just woke up, I’mb ndot-”
“Oh shit,” Hunk hisses, “you sound awful. Stay home, don’t worry about your shift, we’ll get it handled.”
“Thanks,” Shiro mumbles, still entirely too confused to understand what just happened.
He scrubs a hand over his face, letting out a stuffy little cough as he hunkers down deeper into the blankets.
God, why is it so cold?
“Okay, here,” Lance says, handing him a thermometer, “stick it underneath your tongue. I’m going to make you some tea.”
“What?”
“Thermometer under your tongue,” Lance repeats, a frown crossing his face, “you okay?”
“Dizzy,” he mumbles, sticking it in his mouth.
When it beeps, Lance takes it from him and walks into the kitchen.
“103.4. Holy shit, dude.”
“I dond’t feel very well.”
“Yeah, no kidding,” Lance hisses, grabbing him some medicine. “You’re going to take this and we’re going to watch a movie until you fall asleep. Sound good?”
“Yeah,” Shiro mumbles sleepily, “sounds good.”
You know what doesn’t get enough attention?
Sleepy sneezes.
Where you can hear the “sleepy snuggly noises” the person makes, in between sneezes. It’s so freaking cute!
Okay, that is all.
anyways I’m still yoi trash so here’s another fic. This one takes place entirely over text message and features a sick Yuuri who is in Japan while Victor is in Russia (from Victor’s pov)
