take care - f.g.
a/n: i'm so grateful for these fiona requests, thank you so much! writing for her is comforting for me ❤️‍🩹 i promise i'll get back to writing for other characters soon though!
warnings: reader is sick (but it all turns out fine!), very fluffy of course (not proofread though)
Tumblr media
when y/n wakes up in a cold sweat, she can tell something is terribly wrong.
each swallow feels like a mouthful of glass, breathing through her nose is impossible, and her body feels like it's engulfed in invisible flames.
forcing herself to turn to read the clock, she sees that it's still the middle of the night. 2:30 a.m., to be exact.
how could she have gone to bed a few hours ago feeling completely fine?
y/n's first instinct is to grab her phone and text the only person she knows who may be awake at this hour. solitude isn't exactly her favorite, especially when she's sick. she could use someone to chat with.
are you awake?
she clicks send, rolling back over onto her pillow. she's exhausted, yet sleep seems impossible. before she can even think about trying to fall back asleep, her phone dings.
what's going on? it's late baby.
her girlfriend, fiona, is usually quite the night owl. she spends most of her days catering to other people, including her siblings, so her evenings are the time she reserves for herself.
is it healthy? probably not. fiona finds time to sleep at some point in her busy life, and y/n tries not to think about it too much to avoid the inevitable worry she would feel.
i think i have the flu or something.
fiona writes back almost immediately.
i'm coming over.
y/n forces herself to sit up, realizing that her girlfriend is probably being serious.
fi, it's the middle of the night.
go to sleep and you can come in the morning.
hello?
y/n knows it's no use, and she's proven correct when she hears a light knock on the door.
when she opens it, fiona is standing in the hall with several cans of soup, an entirely-too-big box of medicine, and a 12-pack of sports drinks.
"you're out of your mind," y/n laughs, voice scratchy.
"i am not, my girl is sick and i'm taking care of her."
"what about the kids?" y/n feels concerned realizing the rest of the gallaghers are alone in the house.
"they're asleep, first of all," fiona laughs. "but i asked v to make sure everything is fine. she's awake too, believe it or not."
"where did all this stuff even come from?"
"24 hour stores are a thing, you know. any further questions?" fiona laughs at her own sarcasm before grabbing hold of y/n's hand.
"c'mon, you're getting back in bed."
"i'm awake now, though."
"not for long, pretty girl," fiona replies.
before she knows it, y/n is in fiona's arms, being carried bridal style to her bedroom.
fiona sets y/n on the bed gently, pulling the covers over her.
"aren't you gonna get in too?"
"well duh, i didn't come here for nothing. but i'm going to get you medicine first."
when fiona returns, she's carrying a bowl of soup, along with the medicine she promised and a glass of water.
"i thought you were just getting me medicine," y/n teases, seeing that fiona had outdone herself.
"you know i can't help myself. now, take this and eat your soup."
fiona sits next to y/n in her bed, pushing her hair behind her ears and planting a gentle kiss on her forehead.
"jesus, you're burning up. my poor girl," fiona coos, wrapping her arms around y/n.
"fi, i'm gonna spill the soup."
fiona pulls away, forgetting that y/n's hands were very much occupied with a hot bowl.
she can't help but giggle as y/n drinks some of the broth before putting the bowl on her bedside table and returning fiona's hug.
"can we watch a movie?" y/n asks, even though she already knows the answer.
"you have to pick it though, you know i'm indecisive," fiona responds before leaning in to kiss y/n.
"fi! you're gonna get sick!"
"i don't care and you know it. wanna kiss my girl."
melting at fiona's words, y/n allows fiona to kiss her, feeling her body heat up and knowing it isn't because of her fever.
when y/n and fiona finally separate, y/n turns on her television, resting her head on fiona's shoulder.
"lay down, silly," fiona insists, letting y/n rest her head on her chest.
"can we watch that musical? the one about the wedding on the island or whatever?"
"babe, we watched 'mamma mia' last time i was here."
"i'm sick, you can't say no to me."
"i can't say no to you ever. i'll put it on, you rest."
20 minutes into the film, y/n had already fallen asleep, her head still rested on fiona.
fiona smiles to herself, admiring her sleeping girlfriend. it isn't long before she falls asleep herself, arms around y/n.
y/n wakes up the next day to find that it's already after noon, and that she's actually starting to feel better.
her nose had cleared significantly, and although her throat was still sore, she considered it a win.
finally standing up and walking to the kitchen, she's surprised to see fiona hovering over the stove, evidently cooking.
"good morning, sleepyhead. how you feelin'?" upon closer inspection, y/n sees that fiona is cooking pancakes.
"better, actually. i can't believe you left me in bed alone, though," y/n teases, wrapping her arms around fiona's waist from behind.
"only to make you breakfast, my love. or lunch, seeing as you slept until 12:30."
"i forgive you, but only because the food smells good."
"oh, just be quiet and eat your pancakes."

which sictember fill have you had the most fun writing so far? what is your favorite line/moment from it? what sictember fill that you havent written yet are you most looking forward to? out of the sickees youve written so far, which one has been the most fun to torture? the one youve most enjoyed writing care for?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wah!!! <3
which sictember fill have you had the most fun writing so far?
OH THAT'S SO HARD I'VE HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH ALL OF THEM... but probably day 8 because it's my favourite so bias fghghgf
what is your favorite line/moment from it?
definitely the snippet i posted last week haha
what sictember fill that you havent written yet are you most looking forward to?
my day 21, i used the 'soft pyjamas' alt for that one! there's a story behind it gfhfdhfg
in... 2019? i think? i caught the sickfic cold. not only did i catch the sickfic cold but i was IN a sickfic. like when people write sickfic, and by people i mean me, half the time they just combine cold symptoms and flu symptoms for maximum suffering/cozy, and i thought that illness was fictional. it is real! i know this, because i caught it.
but not only did i have the sickfic cold, my life immediately turned into an absolute comedy of errors. to summarize: i started getting sick before what was to be the BIGGEST day of my entire time working at my current job. we were opening a whole new branch of the story that no other store in my entire state has, there were talks of the CEO of the whole company stopping by. and i was, more or less, running a huge part of this, AND i worked a specialty job, so no one else could really do my job for me on such short notice. there was absolutely no way i could stay home.
so i woke up before my alarm, powered through 4 hours of work, and begged my co worker to cover the rest of my shift. then i went to restock on cold medicine because i had none in the house, except my birthday was a WEEK AGO, and my id JUST EXPIRED, and they card you for cold medicine here, so i was just plague ridden bitch on my last fucking nerve begging my co worker at self checkout to sell me illegal cold medicine fdjklghsdfgf she did she was cool
went home and i wanted to lay in bed and scroll my dash while i waited for my gf to call me on her drive home but there was a DATA OUTAGE and the wifi wouldnt reach my room
had to get up and sit shivering at my computer desk while i talked to her and she was like 'you sound horrible i have literally never heard you sound this audibly sick in my life' and i was like 'yeah' and then i fell asleep for 13 hours and my samsung health app was like 'ARE YOU DEAD?' and i took my temperature and it was still in the triple digits and then i went back to work
ANYWAYS IVE BEEN TRYING TO BASE A SICKFIC OFF THIS FOR YEARS NOW BECAUSE ITS SO FUCKING FUNNY. IT WAS THE MOST KARMIC THING THAT I THINK HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME. THE WHOLE TIME I WAS LIKE I AM SO SORRY ALL THOSE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. I AM SO MEAN TO YOU AND FOR WHAT
so naturally i'm gonna do it to franziska.
out of the sickees youve written so far, which one has been the most fun to torture?
oh easily franziska, she's my typical muse. ideal sickfic muse is a stubborn, steely, workaholic femme with a strong constitution. franziska's also got the absolute perfection thing going for her which adds an extra layer because she refuses to appear even a little disheveled which makes it EXTRA sexy when she is. she's probably the second strongest muse i've latched onto right after jessie, and jessie only wins because her immune system is shit dghdfhjdgh.
the one youve most enjoyed writing care for?
maya <3 i want to take care of maya for the rest of my life and projecting onto franziska is SOOOOOOO nice i can just wrap her up and bring her ramen and kiss her forehead and fall asleep on her and i cant finish this im too gay

i'm sorry to hear you've been down with the icky sicky :c are you over the peak yet? may a speedy recovery come even sooner!
life update for me on my front is i have my first ever big girl work performance review soon (next thursday!) — and the only thing i am nervous about is how much of a raise i could get (because i know i have been performing very well since i started almost a year ago lol). aside from being sick, how has work been going for you?
another thing is hopefully i can have my shared apartment to myself this weekend, with my boyfriend coming over 🤞 i live with housemates and he lives with family, but both sides respectively are going away for weekend trips! have you ever had housemates? any tales from those endeavours?
thanks :( i've definitely had worst colds than this, but it's the first time i've gotten sick since january of 2020 so i'm mostly just peeved about it because i literally don't go anywhere lol. i caught whatever germs my dad and brother have had the past week and i knew it would happen at some point. it's mostly felt like a sinus cold. i don't have a cough or body aches or anything, it's just been my ears, nose and throat feeling gross. allergy season is no joke! i got a flu shot back in november, i wonder if that has anything to do with it being as tolerable as it is. i've been taking medicine too, so i hope tomorrow i feel a little better.
i hope your performance review goes well and i'm manifesting a nice raise for you! i wish that was me, i'm not employed rn lol. i need money bad but like. fuck it's hard finding a job rip. anyway, YAY an apartment all to yourself soon! i also wish that was me!!!!!!!! i live with my parents still because again, unemployed rn and it's expensive af to live anywhere in california, but we have had family move in with us temporarily quite a few times. my brother and his wife are currently living here for the second time because they want to save money to move out of state and they've been here for six months so far and i have no idea when they're gonna move out. i know they're family and all, but i really just miss having my house and my bathroom and my kitchen to just me and my parents lol. i feel cramped sometimes.

I'm really enjoying the cow story! I want to know MOO-re please! - theviktornikiforov-rp
Nice pun!  XD but that’s sort of...all I’m gonna post about the cow story online, however, I will text you privately about how that all came about. Lemme think if I have another JJ story....
Okay, so once upon a time, while I was training in Canada, I came into practice and heard that JJ was sick with a bad stomach flu. I texted him and he seemed kind of out of it from the medicine he was taking but he said he was lonely and wanted company, so I went over to his house. We decided to watch Toy Story, because we love Disney. 
JJ was getting kind of tired, I could tell, and he was on some really strong cold medicine- so in the middle of the movie, he goes, “I’ve figured it out.” 
I asked him what he meant by that, and then he looked at me, completely wide-eyed, and said, “God is Andy, Ji. We’re all just toys, and Sid is all of the obstacles that hold us back in life. Wait.....what if we are all just toys for God? What if I’m just a toy? I think I’m doing important stuff and God is just up there, debating whether or not he wants to donate me to a preschool?”  
I tried to come up with some sort of response to that, but he was asleep before I could. I’m not sure if he even remembers this.
