A's fever is through the roof. They are sleepy, dazed, and in so much pain. They can do nothing but shiver violently under their blankets, burning up yet chilled to the bone.
B keeps pressing cold washcloths to A's head, whispering sweet nothings and trying to comfort A through their hallucinations.
C keeps going back and forth, bringing ice and cold water and doing their best to assist B, looking incredibly worried.
A is shivering so much that they start getting painful cramps, and tears start rolling down their flaming cheeks.
B turns to C, in a hushed whisper. "I think it's time to call the doctor. Fever's getting out of control."
C just nods, darting out of the room with their heart breaking for poor A.
Pro tip for people with jobs: you can think about The Character having the worst tummyache of their life while you are on the clock. It’s fun, it’s free, and no one can stop you.
An overworker who so desperately wants someone to tell them to take a break, because they so badly want one and they know they need one but they can't give themself one.
They work themself sick, yet still, with a blanket wrapped around their shivering form, pale skin as white as the blanks that their foggy mind keeps drawing, and a crimson flush on their warm, tear-stained cheeks, they keep working.
Their partner checks on them.
"Oh...! Oh, honey. Oh, my baby. I didn't know it was this bad..." They rush closer and wrap their arms tight around their sick sweetheart and whisper, "Honey, please stop. You've done enough, you need to rest."
Finally given permission to have a break, they simply melt into their partners arms, practically going limp like a tired little ragdoll. "...okay..." is all they manage to mumble before sleep finally wins the battle that'd been going for weeks.
They're carried from their desk to their bed, covers are layed over them, they're tucked in nice and snug, and when they wake up, they'll probably cry. This is exactly what they needed someone to do.
