Tighnari is quick to notice when you’re feeling ill. You had just gotten back from a trip to Mondstat, more specifically Dragonspine, and had seemed to catch a cold once you got back home. Of course, he’d already expected this would be the outcome, constantly lecturing you to be careful when traversing Dragonspine’s frosty and snow-covered terrain; but it seems that you took his advice too lightly, casually telling him you’ll be fine.

It’s quite funny, really, Tighnari being your long-time romantic partner yet constantly worrying and lecturing you whenever you did something unsafe like a concerned mother. This was the way Tighnari always had been and you’ve already gotten used to his endless lectures and so on…

Forest rangers always seem to tense up and lower their heads in shame when being given one of Tighnari’s never-ending lectures, but you just listen in silence, shaking your head in fake-annoyance and lightheartedly saying it’ll be alright. Tighnari cares about you. A lot. Your safety and well-being is his utmost importance.

Once you got back from Mondstat, you endlessly detail your experiences and funny mishaps during your trip to Tighnari; yourself seemingly not noticing how exhausted you are.

Tighnari’s ears angle downwards in worry, stopping you in your words and placing a gloved hand against your forehead. His face is slightly scrunched, eyebrows furrowed and lips pursed while his kind eyes stare at your complexion.

You tilt your head in confusion; “What?” a light blush was dusted across your cheeks and ears, Tighnari noted, but you didn’t seem embarrassed and the temperature of the rainforest was stable at this time of day, so you couldn’t have been flushed from the weather.

“Did you do as I asked before you left?” Tighnari’s gaze subtly shifted into a concerned one, eyes softening feeling your body temperature, “You’re warmer than usual..."

“I did, I promise,” you shook your head and smiled reassuringly, “I even used the Pyro-infused heatpack you gave me.”

Tighnari hummed, seemingly not convinced “Just get a good sleep tonight, if it gets worse let me know.”

The next morning, you were nowhere to be found. Worriedly, Tighnari took a detour to your hut and found you huddled up in your bed with a fever. Thankfully for you, he didn’t need to make the trip back because an arrangement of herbs and medicine were already accorded for in Tighnari’s bag.

He’ll give an off-handed remark about how you “Should have been more careful.” and to not spontaneously roll around in the snow without a winter jacket on, but Tighnari would rather let you rest for now. Once you’re better, you’ll be able to listen to his ramblings that usually fall on deaf ears.

This isn’t his first time taking care of someone sick, it’s a common occurrence in Tighnari’s day-to-day life due to Collei’s chronic illness and tending to young children who’ve accidentally scraped their knee while playing or caught a fever. Almost everyone comes to Tighnari for matters like this, and he’s all more than ready to play that role as a loving caretaker.

“I need you to sit up so you can take this medication..” his demeanor is radiating patience and tenderness, eyes calm as he speaks in a way that soothes your ears.

Reluctantly, you oblige, slowly sitting up from your bed that’s in disarray to see Tighnari enter your view. Your fuzzy vision eyes him pour a dosage of medicine into a silver spoon, Tighnari turning back to you. He motions you to inch closer where he sits, which is on a wooden stool situated by your bedside.

“Is it gonna taste bad…” you mutter; you coughed into your elbow hoping it would clear up any of the junk that stained your dry throat. Tighnari laughs almost lightheartedly, knowing that you already knew what the answer would be.

“The worse it tastes, the more it’s gonna help you get better.” the attempted reassurance makes you frown, praying that your tastebuds won’t feel the sour bitterness that immediately enters your mouth once Tighnari guides you to gulp it down. The taste is enough to make you gag, but you swallow your pride (and the medicine) and take it without saying a word.

“Oh, and drink lots of water, too.” he pulls out a canteen of fresh water from his bag, pulling up his chair so he sits slightly closer. He presumes you’re too tired to hold the canteen and drink yourself, so he cups your chin and tilts your head back a bit, letting the fresh liquid trickle into your mouth.

His own face flushes a pretty pink while watching you take the beverage, finding the blush that spreads across your face and unkempt hair to be quite adorable. He shakes his head and scolds himself. You’re sick right now, why is he thinking about kissing you?! Tighnari’s surprised and mortifyingly embarrassed that he’s thinking about such things during your time of need; letting you gulp down a good amount of water before quickly standing up from his position.

He fakes a cough into the fist of his hand, “Is there anything in particular that you want to eat?” Tighnari looks at your form that’s huddling back into the bedsheets; you mumble something incoherent, but he’s still able to make out what you said.

Soup. He nods, telling you he’ll be back before exiting your hut. Although the request is quite vague, he goes for a simple soup with a variety of vegetables and fish as the meat. When he brings back the dish to your hut, he finds you curled up on the bed sleeping peacefully like a cat. He smiles, setting the tray down by your nightstand and quietly sitting at the edge of your bed to not disturb you.

He hears you whisper something, supposedly in your sleep “…nari….” his name? He stares at you inquisitively, a soft snort of amusement coming from your sleeping form. "You're so clingy.... when you're sick, hehe..."

Oh. So that's how it is, Tighnari's eye twitches, maybe he shouldn't take precious time out of his day to take care of his lovely partner after all. He sighs to himself, sitting beside you and swiftly brushing his tail against your face teasingly; watching your face scrunch up and eyes squint open.

Unamused eyes met yours, "Morning, sunshine."

"I-It's already morning...? Ah, shoot! I'm late for my patrol-- ACHOO!" A loud sneeze interrupts your short haze of panic, Tighnari gently sushing you and pulling the covers over your chest again.

"Hey, I was just kidding; you can rest," he returned back to his caring persona and eased you back into bed, motioning your gaze over to the tray on your beside "I just need you to eat something and you can go back to sleep, alright?"

You mumbled something incoherent, nodding; coughing into your elbow as a fruitless attempt to rid of your dry and mucus-filled throat. Tighnari has a spoonful of a fairly appetizing-looking soup, blowing soft puffs of air to cool its temperature and slowly bringing the spoon to your lips. A part of you wanted to shy away as it was rare for Tighnari to coddle you like this, but the stuffy fog of your sickness made you gladly take the spoonful in your mouth. It tasted amazing, something both warm and comforting yet light in flavour and fresh in ingredients.

"Taste alright?" he hummed, a small smile on his face when he saw your tired eyes slightly sparkle when you tried the dish. You nod fervently, happily gulping down the rest of the soup that temporarily distracted you from the limbo of sickly pain your body was in.

Afterwards, Tighnari made you take more medicine, the bitter note coating your tongue washed down wish a flask of river water. You sighed, leaning backwards until your back hit the comfort of your mattress; eyes wandering to your boyfriend. "Tighnari..."

He turned his head, kind eyes attentive in its gaze. You shifted uncomfortably in your bed, pulling off the covers while gesturing your arms outwards "I'll get better faster if you sleep with me."

Normally these words would be coming out in a lighthearted and slightly flirtatious tone, but the rasp of your voice and fuzzy vision made it sound incredibly endearing to Tighnari. He shook his head and chuckled, "And what if I get sick?"

"Collei will take care of us..." you replied back. You huffed, satisfied to yourself when Tighnari seemed to easily agree to your (in hindsight, brash) request and crawling into what little space was left in your bed.

You moved to your side to face Tighnari, lazily pulling the thin covers over his back and closing your eyes peacefully. A gloved hand moves to your cheek, brushing a stray strand of hair so he could get a better look at your flushed features. He smiled, tail brushing over your thigh and tickling your skin. Tighnari could feel his own mind begin to stir, his eyes closing with your shallow breaths fanning across his face. "You're hopeless.." he muttered lovingly, finally bringing his mind to sleep.

A week later, Tighnari fell ill with a cold as well.

Slider wakes up, and the other side of the bed is cold.

He rolls over sleepily to remain in his own body heat, staunchly avoiding the area of the bed that once contained his boyfriend, then fights against the comforter as it tangles around his legs. Propping himself up on his elbow, Slider uses his free hand to rub absently at his eyes as he calls, "Ice?"

"hkt'SHHu!"

Slider sighs to himself as he finally opens his eyes, groaning a bit as he's met with the light that streams in from the windows. Ice sneezing in the autumn is never a good sign; the only thing that really gets to him around this time of year is the leftover ragweed pollen from the summer and dust. "Bless you."

"Thangks," Ice breathes, sniffling. His voice is already laden with congestion, Slider notes, and he forces himself to sit up against the headboard, finally getting a good look at his boyfriend as he walks into the room, eyes red and puffy, even from a distance.

"Shit, honey," he blurts, surging forward to the foot of their bed. "What happened?"

Ice's breath hitches for a second before settling back to normal, and he rubs at his nose aggressively. "Ragked the leaves," he explains, and then every piece of the puzzle falls neatly into place.

"I could've done that," Slider protests, brow furrowing. Before he can even finish the sentence, though, Ice is shaking his head.

"You were stdill asleep," he argues, then gasps. "ukT'SHH!"

"Bless you. I still could've raked them, Ice, if you'd just woken me up. You're going to be all sneezy and miserable for the rest of the day." He slides out of the bed, moving to stand next to Ice in his T-shirt and boxers and thumbs at Ice's eyelashes to wipe away an allergic tear. "Your eyes are swelling."

Ice just sniffles, rubbing harshly at his nose again as he presses his lips together. "I kdnow. I jusdt wandted to help."

"Aw, honey," he murmurs sympathetically, rerouting his finger across Ice's cheekbone and towards his sinuses. His boyfriend learns into the contact, posture relaxing slightly when his thumb presses into the side of his nose. "Does that feel good?"

"Yeah," Ice sighs, and Slider starts rubbing in circles, massaging his sinuses gently. "Oh... hold on."

He draws back, twisting away from Slider and pressing his face deep into his shoulder. "kt'SCH! TSHH! h'kSHuu!"

"Bless you, Ice." He kisses him lightly, then goes back to rubbing at his sinuses. "I'm serious, let me do it next time."

"You were sleeping," he tries to argue, but the point is moot.

Slider sighs, then moves to pull Ice's shirt off. He's already covered in whatever shit the leaves have kicked up; there's really no harm in dismantling him so he can take a shower. All the same, it sends Ice's breaths into wild hitches once more, and Slider pauses with the shirt in his hands. "Going to sneeze again?"

"Noht yet..." Ice breathes, shaking his head as if it'll dislodge the tickle in his nose. "Keep goigg. I'll be fide."

"Alright," Slider murmurs, getting it over Ice's head and doing his best to avoid letting it touch more of his body then necessary. His chest is already starting to break out in a rash, just a bit, but it's enough that he's concerned. "Almost there," he soothes.

Ice nods, but ends up brushing his nose against the shirt fabric. Normally, he's not sensitive at all, but when he's already itchy and losing control and the shirt is covered in leaf bits?

It's more than enough to set him off again.

"h'uHD'TSH!" Slider can hear the attempt to stifle in that one, and the way Ice gives up midway through, clearly seeing that there's no point. "ut'SHHH! KSHH! KSHH! huh'SHH-TSHH!" Ice pants for a second, catching his breath, and yanks the shirt the rest of the way off, revealing just how irritated he is. God, his entire expression is still twisted with the need to sneeze, and Slider feels himself melt in sympathy as his breath hitches yet again.

"You're not done, are you," he murmurs, standing and taking the shirt away from Ice before forcing his boyfriend to lean into him, pressing his face gently into his shoulder. "It's alright, honey, I've got you. Just clear all that shit out from your system, okay?"

Ice only gasps and sneezes again, this time, directly into Slider's collarbone. The first one is muffled, but harsh enough that his entire body shakes with the force of it against Slider's. "hmp'TSH! ut'SCH! h'USHH'uh!"

"Bless you, honey," Slider says, pulling away and ignoring the damp spot on the shoulder of his sleep shirt. "Come on, let's start that shower for you." He tugs Ice toward the bathroom.

"I'mb sorry," Ice murmurs, a pink flush beginning to creep up his neck towards his cheeks. Slider only kisses him below his ear, right at the sharp hinge of his jaw, even as he says, "Thatd was gross."

Slider kisses him again, moving a little closer to his mouth. "Don't apologize," he says, "it's normal. And further proof that you should let me rake the yard next time, instead of trying to do it yourself."

Ice laughs a little at that, sniffling while Slider starts the shower. While it looks like he might be done, Slider knows it's only a temporary state; with the way his sneezes have progressed from singles to entire fits, Ice definitely has some left in him.

"Fide," he concedes, although begrudgingly. "You cand ragke the yard fromb now ond."

"Ice, I hate to say this, but I can hardly understand you. Get in the shower once it's ready," Slider says, grinning when his boyfriend only flips him the bird then strips out of his pants and boxers. "I want to take a look at those hives, too, once you're done."

"You're so demandigg," Ice teases, but obliges. Slider leaves to change into day clothes, grateful that they still have shore leave for another week before they head back out.

He can hear as Ice dissolves into another rapid fit while in the shower, this one far less merciful than the last as the steam wreaks relieving havoc on Ice's sinuses. He sighs to himself, shaking his head in disbelief. Leave it to his boyfriend to do something he knows will set off his allergies just to make Slider's day a tad easier.

God, what did he do to deserve him?

[dustofthedailylife]

No but... could we all take a moment to talk about Alhaitham's signature dish?

Because as you can see, this mfer (/aff) hates soup-like dishes, right?

And take a guess what his signature dish is? FUCKING SOUP.

This dude, literally said "I hate soup" and took it upon himself to turn soup into "not soup" and make it his signature dish.

Istg, I simply cannot with this guy /lh 😭💀
