HC: Bros Taking Care of a Sick SO

thechocoboos:

Hey folks, this is a request from the lovely @arianoct  (I hope you feel better!), I loved writing this and I hope you all enjoy!

Request: “… would you take a request of the chocobros taking care of a sick S/O? …”

Noctis

• At first, Noctis was honestly a little grossed out
• Like, sickness??? ew.
• His worry and concern quickly overshadows his previous disgust tho. Like you could puke on him at that point and he would give nooooo fucks
• He’s not sure how to take care of you, either. The boy can’t cook so well, he doesn’t which medicine to give you, and the only remedy he knows is to cuddle
• You’re honestly stuck directing him from your burrito of blankets on the couch
• “No, Noct, the pink bottle-that’s blue, babe!”
• I will give him this though, he heats up the best canned soup money can buy
• Anytime you ask him to do something, he complains and groans but still does it anyway
• “Noct, could you get me the tissues from the bathroom…”
• “…Ughhhhhhh…”
• “I mean I can get it myself-” He’s already up and across the room.
• Despite his lack of know-how on this, he still does his best, getting you tissues, canned soup, medicine (after five minutes of trying to figure out what’s what)
• He takes naps with you on your couch. No, he’s not sick, but he’s not missing out on sleeping
• He always slides into your blanket burrito and cuddles with you on the couch, even giving you tiny pecks and nuzzling your neck despite your worry that you’ll get him sick
• You do btw. A day after you’re back to normal, you get a call from Noctis. his voice is nasally and his nose is plugged up. He sounds like he’s dying tbh
• “Hey, babe, I think I’m sick…”
• You did it to yourself, Noctis.

Prompto

• siCKKK??? His precious S/O??? Not on his watch!
• Sorry? Suffering? Don’t know her. There will be no suffering while Doctor Prompto is here!
• He’s at your side in a heartbeat and the boi will NOT leave you unless it’s to get something (for you)
• What do you need? Tissues? Meds? Food? Blankets? The entire DVD set of The Vampire Diaries? He’s already got it all. Whatever else you want, he’s getting it.
• “Prompto, is that a signed box of tissues from the cast of The Vampire Diaries?”
• “Yeah! You said you needed tissues and that you wish you could get their autographs so… I did both.”
• He cuddles you endlessly, showers you in love and medicine, and makes sure you get at least one nap a day
• Hand feeds you, he blows on your soup for you and holds the spoon to your lips
• No, it doesn’t matter how embarrassing it is, he’s doing it anyway and if you complain, he makes airplane noises (it’s actually super adorable)
• Buries you in blankets and pillows before throwing himself in the cuddle party, too
• Prompto tries to make you laugh and giggle despite your illness and you can’t thank him enough for it, it helps you forget how shitty you feel
• Warning: if you so much as cough or sneeze (god forbid if you vomit), he practically materializes by your side and is immediately tending to you
• Knows the most basic of home remedies, such as honey in tea and sucking on peppermints, from taking care of himself when he was a kid
• Prompto’s pure love could single handedly heal you
• He’s surprisingly good at taking care of you and under his care, you’re better in no time at all! You wouldn’t be surprised if his sheer love and attention is what scared your illness away

Gladio

• Sick? I’m sorry, what? His S/O? Sick?
• Uh, no. That can’t be right, sickness don’t exist when Gladio’s around
• Gladio never gets sick, so the sight of you wrapped in a blanket, shivering with a fever and chalky skin catches him completely by surprise
• Luckily, he’s had to take care of Iris in the past, so he knows what to do. This man is a veteran when it comes to taking care of tiny, sick humans (tiny being anyone smaller than himself)
• There will be no soup. Only cup noodles. He brings over his entire stash of cup noodles and will not feed you anything else
• “Babe, I swear this’ll make you feel good as new-”
• “Gladio, you’ve been feeding this to me for a week straight.”
• “So?”
• Carries you wherever and whenever you want (he really loves doing that btw)
• He’ll lay down on the couch and hold you like a fragile flower, warming you up easily and lulling you to sleep while he gently strokes your hair
• Sometimes he even hums while he holds you, the sound reverberating in his chest like a loud purr and comforts you to know end
• When you sleep on his chest, he has one arm wrapped around your blanket covered form and the other holding a book
• He also reads to you, A LOT
• If you can’t sleep or don’t want to watch TV, he’ll hold you to his chest and pull out a book, reading with the voice of a god
• He likes to make different voices for different characters and sometimes has you giggling from the goofy voice he gave that one character
• More often than not, he lulls you to sleep when he reads, but even when he peeks down to see you asleep, he continues to read aloud, knowing it comforts you
• So yeah, there’s a lot of sleeping when Gladio’s taking care of you
• He also gives you lots of warm kisses. He’s got the immune system of a god as well, so there of no fucks given for the possibility of getting sick
• Sometimes it’s like his kisses help you more than the medicine does

Ignis

• Oh shit. Hide. HIDE.
• Yes, Iggy is the most capable for taking care of you when you’re sick, but he’s the strictest as well (Noct goes out of his way to hide being sick to avoid Iggy’s strict care)
• You may be Iggy’s S/O, but oh damn, he was strict with you, too
• “Where do you think you’re going?”
• “I needed more tissues…”
• “Get back to bed, darling.” He’ll fetch it for you
• You will not strain yourself, hurt yourself, or be otherwise uncomfortable while ill with Iggy around, I promise
• The most attentive man in the world (not in the way that Prompto was, though), he knows when you run out of tissues and meds before you do
• Keeps the house clean, well supplied, and makes sure you’re in bed
• On the plus side, he also shows you the most gentle compassion in the world. He makes you homemade soup and even tries to feed you like Prompto (minus the embarrassment and airplane noises)
• Knows more home remedies than your grandma
• You know how in anime, someone will put their forehead against another’s to feel for a fever? Mm, yeah, Ignis invented that. You bet your bottom that he not only does that, but brings out a thermometer not a second later (you soon figure out that he only does the forehead thing to make you flustered)
• He gently strokes your hair and places light kisses on your forehead when you’re asleep
• You’re too out of it to see the pure concern and love in his eyes whenever he looks at you (which is also way more than you notice), even when you’re in the middle of blowing the absolute snot out of your nose
• Holds your hair back when you vomit and shows Z.E.R.O disgust
• He doesn’t feel disgust. Or grossed out. All he feels? Love and worry for you and your health
• In all seriousness, Ignis is more worried for you than he’s ever been for anyone else. If you were to ask the other bros later, they would tell you that whenever he was attending to his other duties, he was so worried that he made mistakes left and right and even dropped things
