SICK FIC YAY

Messy warning, description of mess

Luke and Ryan have been together for 2 years and moved in together a month ago

Luke completely invested in the movie didnt notice Ry had fallen asleep until the end credits rolled on screen

"Can you believe that ending... Ry bug hey you sleeping, baby hey come on lets go to bed"

Ryan barely opened his eyes but enough to see the floor and move as Luke guided him. Once Ry gained some of his barings back he could feel again the ache in his body and the pounding in his temples. He just wanted to get into bed and pass out. And thats exactly what he did, he climbed right into bed and under the covers. Luke still getting ready for bed as Ry takes some meds to help him sleep, and luke climbs into bed.

"Good night baby"

"Good night Ry love you"

"Love you more"

Ry turns into luke and he wraps his arms around him. Ry falls asleep within minutes and shortly after Luke also falls alseep. The two sleep for 4 hours before Ry nose deicides to be a pain and bother him in the night

"HXGT EH AH HHEXTH" Ry stiles as best he can, trying not to wake up Luke. But he feels miserable and just wants to be held by his love. And go back to sleep but his head is pounding and body shivers from head to toe as his body temperature shifts from hot to cold.

"EHHH AHHH HXGHT HEETUSH HX'SGT urg"

He tried really hard to be quiet but his head was trobbing and stifleing only made it worse. In an attempt to grab a tissue, ryan knocked over the glass of water he used to take his sleep meds which clearly are not working.

"Fuckd no'b please" he starts crying and the words dont make much sense anymore.

He reaches down to pick it up and lucky there was no water left but the downward movement awoke an all fimlarr tickle that came rushing back into his nose with a vengeance. With absolutely no warning

"Ahh AACCCHHOOOO EEECCHHHOOO HHHEEETTUUSSSHHH" Ry was bent in half at the mercy of his leaking messy nose.

"Baby.....ry are you okay"

"AHHH EHHH HH HHHEEETTTUISH AAHHHEEESUICH EHHH ehh urg ehhh HHHEETUI'STSH AHHHH...AAACHHHHOOOOO"

"bless you bug"

Ry turns around to look at luke "imb sorry I wokep you upb" the congestion is filling up his nose, he clears his throat "I tiredb to be quiet"

"Oh" luke chuckles alittle "you look awful, i cant imagine how you must feel baby and be as loud as you want" he smiles and brings a hand to Ryans face.

"Imb fine" ry gets cut off by coughing and luke rubs his back

"Totally yeah ur fit as a fiddle" he feels his forehead which is burning up

"Babe Imb just tired and *sniff* the windmdow is open"

"You have a fever"

"I run warmb" he sniffles thickly and clears his throat

"Uhmm sure, come here" ry crawls into lukes open arms and holds him until he falls asleep which is almost instantly.

"Feel better love" Luke whispers, kiss his forehead, before passing out as well.

Hours later, sun has risin

Alarm goes off and Ryans head is throbbing at the piercing noise. He groans and tries to cover his ears from the noise. Luke barely awake turns off the alarm and gets up to go to the bathroom, after a flush and a quick flacet noise, the covers russell as he gets back in bed. Ryan turns and burries his head into luke who wraps his arm around him and hugs him tight

The alarm ring again, luke groans and reaches a hand over to turn it off. Ry groans in pain from the ringing in his head that has increased due to the alarm. In an attempt to turn off the alarm luke knocks his phone under the bed, forcing him to fully get out of bed. Ryan groans as Luke shifts away.

"Pleaseb turn it off" ryan sniffles and then coughs until he can barely breathe anymore.

"I am baby dont worry" luke now standing turning off all alarms and setting his phone back down. "I need to get some medicine in you, ill be right back with some and a thermometer bc im sure *luke reaches and touches ry's forehead* yep your burning up" ryan leans into lukes touch and falls alittle as he leaves. Ryan is left in a miserable ball under serval blankets. He is so cold and sweating at the same time. His head still throbbing and the congestion is building in his sinuses. His nose is so stuffed and wont stop running.

"Grrraarrr imb cant breathe" ry grabs the box of tissues off the nightstand and blows his nose trying to clear something anything, but atlas nothing, however it did bring a intense tickle to his nose. He grabs another tissue in anticipation of the impending explosion.

"Ahh a-aaah eehhhhh aaahhh imb ahh i - gon aahh a nna ahhh ACHHOOOOO ACHITSH HESTISCH sneeze ahhh EEHESTUISH AAAACHHHOOO" ry is mess, he destroyed the tissues, theres a snot string from his nose to his hand, both nostrils are dripping with snot, both hands are covered.

"Bless you baby" luke says alittle louder since he is in the bathroom. Waking out into the room with the stuff in his hands, he sees the state Ryan is in and rushes over "wow big ones huh bug*chuckles* here i got you" luke puts the stuff down half haziderly, grabs many tissues, bringing them to rys nose. Cleaning the snot string from his nose to his hands, with. Few more tissues he cleans ry up and then grabs and few more tissues "blow". Ry does as luke says even tho he knows its going to be really messy which it was.

"Thank you" sniffles "but you didbnt havfe to dob that, imb gross" ry starts tearing up

"Ry bug are you crying, whats wrong i mean except for your obvious plague?" Luke places a hand on rys cheek, wipes away a few tears.

Through sniffled tears "imb gross, a mess its embarrassing i-" luke cuts him off

"I dont care how gross you are, i love you"

"So you admit imb gross"

"Yes, but your my gross boy"

Ry giggles and sniffles before coughing harshly towards the bed. Luke brings him into his arms, hold him, rubs his back.

"Okay fineb i feel miserable, everything hurts, i cant breathe out of my nose, imb so cold *sniffles* when are you going to work?" Ry sniffles thickly and wipes his nose on his sleeve, well technically lukes swearshirt sleeve that ry wears anytime he doesnt feel good, so its a clear indicator when sowmthing is wrong.

Ry is radiating heat and he's cold, luke throught as he grabs the therometer he threw down earlier.

"Im working from home, now open up" ry obeys and opens his mouth, waits for the beep which rings in at.... "Yikes 102.9, no wonder you feel awful, here take some medicine i have Tylenol and some sort of cold-flu cough medicine that should help with the fever as well" luke grabs one and dumps out the recommended amount hands it to ry.

"Im out of water" ry turns his head to look at the empty cup on the ground from last night.

"Okay no problem i will go get you some more" luke grabs the glass and leaves

"Okay here you go" luke hands the glass to ry to take the pills, and luke prepares the next ones.

After ry is medicated, he curls up into Luke. He yawns and coughs alittle, closing his eyes.

"Get some rest bug, feel better" luke kisses his forehead and rubs his back, as he falls alseep.

-few hours pass-

Ry is breathing heavy through his mouth as he sleeps on Luke chest, he is watching tv. He needs to get up and go to his desk to stsrt work but Ryan is sleeping so peacfully and he doesnt want to disturb him.

-another hour-

Luke has to start work now and he slides out underneath Ryan and settles him up to the pillow and pulls the covers to tuck him in.

"Sleep well love, ill be right nexr door" luke wispered to ry and kisses his forehead. He tidied up the night stand so the water and tissues were easily accessible to him. His phone also there if he wakes up and needs to knows where luke is, he can see luke texted him 'im in the office, next door'.

Luke turned off the TV, closed the blinds to make it as dark as possible so that his baby could sleep.

Pelipper mail! @mpc-unofficial

It’s a very squishy and soft plushie of a sprigatito, it emits a calming scent and also comes with in-built heating and cooling that could be activated as needed.

How are you doing? In light of… recent happenings.

I… don’t really know if I can do anything to help, but here’s one of the plushies we give to stressed pokemon (and humans) at the center. I hope it helps a bit. Would also send some comfort food over but I’ve read about the recent food incident so…

Okay so if Ren answers this, he's probably going to say something like "I'm fine! Don't worry."

Luckily, Ren is not answering this!

He's doing bad. So bad. Really bad. He is definitely angry and very hurt.

But... I think this helped, a little. He said words! Granted those words were "Warmb kitty..." but! It's an improvement. I think. Thank you.

Stucky: Wintertime Sickfic Part 2

You can read part 1 HERE

Disclaimer 1: I do not own anything in the MCU.

Disclaimer 2: Steve deals with his trauma related to the plane crash and freezing by facing it head on. I am not an expert in dealing with trauma, so I do not recommend this method for everyone.

****

Bucky snuggled closer to where Steve had been, but he only felt air. He blinked his eyes open to find where Steve went. He saw him huddled over a pot of what smelled like soup over the stove. Bucky sat up and shivered when the blankets slipped. Steve saw the movement out of the corner of his eye.

“Mbornin’ Bun,” Steve sniffled, wiping his nose on his shoulder. Bucky grabbed the topmost blanket from the bed and wrapped it around himself.

“Mornin’ babydoll,” Bucky yawned. He shuffled behind Steve and wrapped his arms and the blanket cape around him. Steve snuggled up to him and stifled a cough.

Bucky kissed his boyfriend’s forehead. “You feel warmb, honey.”

Steve coughed again. “It’s ‘cause I’ve been over dthe stove all mording. You’re warmb too.”

“Dhat’s ‘cause I’ve been in bed all mborning. You sound so snuffly, too,” Bucky said as he pressed a kiss to Steve's neck.

Steve pretended not to hear Bucky and just focused on stirring the soup. "Stormb is still going strodg. *snff* Mighdt have to wait a bit for dhat bubble hod tub."

"Hopefully not too long. *snff-snff* You sound like you need it," Bucky worried. Steve turned away to cough again. Bucky used this time to blow his nose. "You want me to take over while you warm up in bed?"

"No, I thingk dhe soup's warmb edough…," Steve was cut off by a tickle in his nose. He barely had enough time to turn away from the stove before it happened. "*ih… hih… ihhTSHSH! Heh-KSCHMPHhh! Ehh'shmphff! Ugh...*"

"Bless you! Those just sounded like they hurt," Bucky sighed, wrapping the blanket around Steve. The blonde looked at him with sleepy eyes, a red nose, and fluffy bed head. He was about to protest again, but was cut off by a coughing fit.

"Bun?" Steve began.

"I got it, honey," Bucky answered. "Why don't you go sit down and I'll bring it to you?"

Steve nodded. He shuffled over to the rickety dining table then blew his nose, too. Bucky handed him a bowl of hot soup and a spoon. He kissed Steve's forehead again then sat beside him.

"Thank you," Steve smiled. Bucky returned the expression when Steve brought the blanket over his shoulders, too.

"Id's so code in here," Steve muttered.

"It'll ged beter once the *fih… hih-ih hihh'TCHSHhoo!* once dhe fire's on," Bucky insisted with a sniffle. He felt Steve shiver then kiss his cheek.

"Should we call the others and let them kn-know… *hih* know we're *hih uhhchssmpff!* led themb know we're gonna be studck *heh- eihh-t'shshxxx!*" Steve wiped his nose on the edge of his blanket again..

"Yeah, we should. *ehhTSCHhuugh!* And you should stop trying to hold back your sneezes. You're gonna get a nosebleed and I only have so many tissues!" Bucky chastised.

Steve nodded. "When dhe storm clears up a bit, I'll give 'em a call. There's a strong radio id dhe Quidjet. *hishhhoo!* It should be able to readch themb."

"You shouldn't go out there when you're sick, baby. It'll just make things worse. And we both know that storm isn't slowing any time soon," Bucky argued. He shuddered harshly as he brought the spoon up to his mouth again and dropped it into the bowl with a loud *CLINK!*. Bucky fished out his spoon and tried to pretend like nothing happened.

“What else could we do, Buck-Buck? Our only chance of getting out of here might be that radio. Nobody would even start to worry about us for the next few days, then who knows when they’ll send a search party. We don’t have enough supplies to last that long. And frankly, I don’t think either one of us wants to be frozen again,” Steve reasoned.

“Then let me do it!” Bucky insisted. “I’m used to doing missions in the snow. And besides, you already nearly froze last night.”

“What about your arm?” Steve worried. “We weren’t out in the snow for very long yesterday, but you were still almost frozen. I’ve also been working with the Quinjet longer. I can find a way to make that radio work.”

It was a good thing that Steve was using his puppy eyes to convince Bucky to let him go out; although he was making great points, Bucky still didn’t want him to go outside. Bucky sighed in defeat and nodded.

Steve perked up. “Thanks, Bun! It’ll be really quick, I promise,” he said, standing up. Bucky placed a hand on his shoulder to gently push him back down.

“Soup first. It’ll at least keep you a little warmer,” he explained.

****

The snow was piled so high outside that none of the doors couldn’t be opened without an avalanche rushing into the cabin. The super soldiers decided to use the window in the bathroom as their door for the time being. The window was high enough that it hadn’t been snowed over yet, and the bathroom door could be shut to keep more of the cold air from seeping into the rest of the cabin.

Bucky and Steve took the time to fill the bath halfway with water from the tap before the latter went outside. The tap water was chilly, so they used whatever pots and pans they had to boil water and add it to the bath. Once the water was just above lukewarm, it was time for Steve to go out. He only had on his jeans and long sleeved shirt to keep him warm. The blonde was already shivering before the window was opened.

“Stevie, I really think you should at least put on a jacket and gloves. You’re already cold, and it’ll be worse once you get outside,” Bucky pleaded.

Steve shook his head and rubbed his arms. “The s-s-snow’s gonna soak th-through all m-m-my l-layers. It’s b-b-better to keep th-them here s-s-so I can w-wear ‘em to warm up.”

Bucky was really starting to regret letting Steve do this. “Alright. You have fifteen minutes before I follow you out there to make sure you’re not freezing to death again.”

With that, Bucky opened the window, shivering harshly as the wind and snow snuck in. Steve took half a step back, then a couple of quick strides before finally diving out of the window. He heard the window shut behind him once he landed.

Steve shakily pushed himself out of the snow and started to walk. The snow was still so loose he kept sinking down to his knees with every step. The snow crept down into his boots and clung to his pants. The captain pulled his sleeves over his hands, then tucked them under his arms. He was starting to wish he listened to Bucky about bringing gloves.

Finally, the silhouette of the Quinjet came into view. Poor Steve was absolutely covered in snow, his whole body shuddering, his teeth chattering so much Bucky probably heard it, and his feet were numb. Steve continued on until he reached the entrance. His trembling, ice cold fingers struggled to open the ramp with the emergency lever. It didn’t help that every time he moved his arms away from himself, the wind would take advantage of his exposed side.

The soldier almost cried when the ramp slowly lowered itself down. Steve didn’t wait for it to open all the way. He scrambled inside the second the opening was big enough. Now that he was out of the storm, the Quinjet felt almost cozy. It was still absolutely frigid in there, but it was just cold: not windy and snowy and wet and cold like outside. Steve took a few moments to thaw out his hands so he could operate the radio. A small gust of wind would sneak in through the ramp every once in a while, sending a chill up his spine. While he was waiting he glanced around in the hope that maybe he and Bucky overlooked a blanket or a coat. He knew it wasn’t likely, but Steve was so cold he had to try.

“*guh… ugh… ugh’HHhhh’tschIIEW!*” Steve sniffled, then wiped his nose on his sleeve. He kept rubbing his hands and blowing into them, but it was hardly doing anything. Steve was too cold to keep waiting. He wanted to get back inside with his warm boyfriend and their warm-ish bed. So, the Captain struggled to turn on the radio with unsteady hands. It took a few tries because he kept accidentally pressing the wrong button or flipping an extra switch. At long last, Steve got a signal. He hugged himself while he waited for it to stabilize, praying that he could control his rattling teeth enough to convey a message.

“Huh… Hello? D-D-Does an-nyone c-c-c-cop-py?” Steve called. There was nothing but silence and Steve’s shivering for an agonizing few moments. And then, a miracle happened.

“This is Falcon. I copy. You alright Cap?” Sam answered. Steve wanted to cry with relief.

“Y-Y-Y-Yeah. Uh-Uhm, B-B-B-B-Buck-cky and I-I are s-s-s-strand-ded ou-ou-out he-here unt-t-t-til the-the-the… *fffffff* t-til th-th-the s-s-s-s-st-storm p-p-p-pass-ses. W-W-We’re c-c-c-c-c-cold *buh-buh-buh*but fffffin-ne,” Steve chattered. He prayed Sam understood him.

“Copy. I’ll have S.H.I.E.L.D. drop some supplies out to you guys. We’ll keep an eye on the storm from here. Once we have an opening, we’re gonna get you guys outta there. You guys need anything else besides food, water, medical supplies, and extra blankets?” Sam replied.

“A-A b-b-b-batt-t-tery p-p-pow-wered sp-sp-sp-sp-spa-ace *huh-huh*heat-ter m-m-m-might b-be n-n-n-ni-nice,” Steve half-joked and half-wished.

“Got it. Now go back inside before you turn into a Capsicle again. Over and out,” Sam agreed.

Steve turned off the radio, then sat back in the pilot chair. He did it. He and Bucky were gonna be okay. Steve pushed himself up to head back inside. The howling wind hit him like a bus, making his already violent shaking worse. Steve struggled to get the ramp closed again. This time, he had to hold it up with one hand and reset the switches with his other. The wind blew at him from seemingly everywhere at once. It kept lifting up his shirt and making his stomach spasm hard enough from the chill that Steve almost doubled over a few times.

The Captain reluctantly gave up after a few tries. Bucky’s threat of following him outside convinced Steve to leave the ramp down. Besides, they were in the middle of nowhere in a storm. He doubted anybody would mess with the Quinjet. Steve followed his deep footprints back to the cabin. He tried to step exactly where he had the last time so he wouldn’t get anymore snow in his boots.

After a frozen eternity, Steve made it back to the window. Bucky was already waiting for him. He opened the window the second Steve came close enough. The sergeant nearly had a heart attack when he saw Steve almost frozen solid.

“Put your arms around my neck, then I can lift you inside without dropping you,” Bucky explained. Steve nodded, more than eager to get close to his boyfriend’s warmth.

Steve wrapped his arms around Bucky’s neck and buried his face in his shoulder. Bucky moved his arms to rest under his shoulders and his butt. Then, he eased Steve through the window and set him on the toilet lid while he closed the window. Steve mewled when Bucky moved away.

“It’s okay, babydoll. I’m gonna be right there,” Bucky promised. He had never heard Steve make that kind of a noise before. The blonde was always insisting he was fine no matter what. So to hear him make such a vulnerable, desperate sound scared Bucky. He kneeled in front of Steve to examine his condition. Steve looked at him through frost-covered bangs. He was making puppy eyes again.

“Right, let’s just get’cha in the tub. I’ll take off your boots and we’ll deal with the rest later,” Bucky decided. He let Steve lean on him while he untied his laces. An almost comical amount of snow fell out of each boot.

“*Buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-*” Steve tried.

“It’s alright, honey. You’re gonna be alright, I promise. I’m gonna lift you up one more time, okay? Can you hold onto me like the last time?” Bucky soothed. Steve managed to nod, then wrap himself around Bucky once again. The brunet lifted him from the toilet lid and gently set him into the bathtub. The snow and ice coating Steve began to melt in the warm water. The ice in his hair was a little more stubborn, though.

Steve sighed as the warm water enveloped him. It was soothing at first, then it felt like someone was taking a blowtorch to his skin and needles to his hands and feet. He whimpered and moved to get out, but Bucky kept him in. Steve looked at him with pleading eyes.

“Hang on, baby. I’ll cool the water down a little more. We can’t make it too cold or you’re just gonna get colder,” Bucky explained. He poured one of the buckets of tap water into the tub around Steve. That seemed to help. Steve relaxed a little more until he was leaning against the back of the tub.

“That better, Stevie?” Steve nodded. “Good. Lemme start gettin’ this ice outta your hair.”

Bucky had Steve lean forward just a bit so he could use an empty soup can he thoroughly rinsed out to pour water over him. Bucky would scoop up the water from the bath, pour it over Steve, then dunk the can into one of the pots with warm water to pour into the bath. The temperature increased slowly enough that Steve didn’t seem to be bothered.

“How’re you doing, honey?” Bucky checked. Steve was almost asleep now. His shaking calmed down enough that he was no longer making little waves in the bath water and all of the ice and snow was off of him. Steve was too focused on trying to stay awake that he barely heard Bucky.

“Alright, punk. Let’s get you changed,” Bucky said, mostly to himself. He decided to leave Steve in the tub while he removed his soaked clothing. It would be easier to get it off that way, and the cold material wouldn’t chill Steve all over again. It was a bit of a struggle since Steve was barely awake and absolutely no help. Eventually, Bucky stripped him down completely. He did one last check to make sure the three towels they found were within arm’s reach.

Then, Bucky scooped Steve out of the water. Bucky’s shirt was completely soaked now, but he would change in a bit. Steve was the hypothermic one. Bucky propped Steve against him to wrap his still shivering body in one of the towels. The towel covered enough of Steve’s lower body that Bucky could sit him on the toilet seat again while he dried the rest of him.

Steve's breath started hitching once Bucky turned around.. "*hih-ih-ih… hih… heh-heh Ehh’tchSHSHhhugh! Huhh’TSHSHSHuuughh! Ih’CHIEW!*"

“Aww, bless you honey. Just stay with me a little longer, okay?” Bucky murmured. He rubbed one of the towels over Steve’s hair until it was dry and fluffy. He did the same for the rest of Steve’s body, but was a little gentler so as not to aggravate his sore muscles and frostnipped skin. Once he was satisfied, Bucky took off his soaked shirt and helped Steve to his feet.

“C’mon, babydoll. Let’s get’cha bundled up, okay?” Bucky soothed. He led them out to the living room in front of the fireplace, which was burning strong. Bucky set Steve on the sofa, still bundled in towels. The blonde held his shaking hands up towards the blaze, but he was too far away to burn himself.

“I’ll be right back, honey,” Bucky promised, kissing his hair. Steve was so focused on absorbing the warmth that he barely noticed. Bucky changed into a dry shirt since his bare chest was making him start to shiver, too. He returned to Steve’s side with every single article of clothing they had with them. They were roughly the same size, so Bucky used both of their clothes.

Bucky did one final check to make sure Steve was dry, then began the long process of bundling him into the layers. He started with a pair of boxers, then a shirt. Bucky alternated between shirts and pants so Steve didn’t have to stand for too long on his shaky legs. He continued adding Steve’s sweatpants and jacket, then his own sweatpants and jacket. Then, Bucky layered on their five remaining pairs of socks onto Steve’s feet and gave him both pairs of gloves and mittens. Steve looked a bit like a marshmallow now, but he also seemed to have a bit more color in his face.

“There ya go. How’s that? Better?” Bucky checked, sitting beside his boyfriend. Steve’s shivering had calmed significantly. It was still constant, but Bucky wasn’t worried Steve would shake himself apart anymore. Bucky could still hear and see his teeth chatter, so he wrapped both of their scarves around him.

Steve slumped against Bucky and started to fall asleep. He felt Bucky’s breathing become irregular. Steve glanced up to check on him right as Bucky turned away to sneeze. “*IttchsHHUMPH! ich’mPHSHH!” ih’tschHMMFF!*”

“O-Oh,” Bucky blushed when he realized Steve was looking up at him. “Sorry, baby. Had ta let those out.”

Steve sat up to take off one of his coats, but Bucky stopped him.

“No, babydoll. You need those more,” he insisted.

“Y-Y-You’re s-s-s-sick, t-t-too-o,” Steve worried.

“And you’re still freezing!” Bucky argued.

Steve sighed. He snuggled up right next to his boyfriend, then reached over the sofa to grab the blanket they wrapped themselves in during breakfast. He pulled it over Bucky, then tried to lay on top of him.

“What are you doing, you goofball?” Bucky laughed.

“K-K-Keep-pin’ y-y-y-you w-w-warm,” Steve answered.

“Okay, okay! You win,” Bucky conceded. He and Steve adjusted themselves so Bucky was propped up by one of the back sofa cushions and Steve was pressed between him and the back of the sofa. They were so tall compared to the sofa that their feet were hanging over the opposite arm. Bucky draped the blanket to cover both of their feet, then Steve arranged his outermost jacket so his arm was in one sleeve and Bucky’s was in the other. They were both wrapped securely in a cocoon of fabrics and each other.

That was more than enough to lull Bucky to sleep. Steve stayed awake for a while longer, making sure his boyfriend really was okay. Bucky seemed to be a little more congested, and his face seemed slightly flushed. Steve attributed the flush to the glow from the fire. Now that he was certain his Bucky was okay, Steve let himself fall asleep too, his shivering finally slowing to a stop.

****

I have a couple more of the prompts to fill, so there is at least one more chapter coming up! I’m not sure when, but I make no predictions... hopefully less than 8 months though.

Winter sniffles

(with the help of @goodlucksnez the Jack frost and his lover’s snzfic has been made) (please do give Vic as much praise for this, they put in so much effort ^-^) Jack laughs softly as his lover “You look so silly firecracker” this makes the fire user grumble lowly in irritation.

“It idn’t fuddy jackass” Folding his arms over his chest, he sniffles and sticks out his tongue. “Just because you like the cold doesd’t bmead everyode od this bloody earth does. S-sobe of use like to a-ahh hah! Huh actually st-stay warmb haah ah!ht’schh! hh’ixsschh! hih- hih-ht'schh snerk ugh” Jack felt a little guilty watching his boyfriend have a little fit. He sounded miserable from his desperate sneezing to his thick sniffles. Still, he couldn’t help but crack a smile at him. Leyo did look quite cute even in his sickly state. His hair which was usually a beautiful raging roaring fire was now a dim purple glow. Barely giving off any heat. His bright red eyes were now dulled by exhaustion. Nose red and angry with congestion and roughly being rubbed. Leyo wasn’t exactly the most gentle person, so rubbing any sort of itch out of his nose was sure to cause further irritation. Like right now, Leyo was trying to rub away the itch. Grumpily rubbing, grabbing, and moving his nose around. The fire elf was just barely out of reach of the horrid itch in his stuffy sinuses.

“your goona rub it raw Rudolph leave it alone, your gonna make it more angry.” This snaps something in Leyo. He stands trying to not sway with the head rush that accompanies it, the congestion shifts and he sniffs it back to not let it run.

“You think this funny snow for brain, how about a t-ah hih! Sniff ugh of your own medicine.” He steps closer trying to look intimidating but with the shivering, he isn't sure he is being too convincing. Jack's sly nature sees this as an opportunity.

He sends out a small gust of wind not much for anyone to notice just enough to startle Leyo. Once it breaks his concentration Jack sends out a small sheet of ice so when Leyo steps on it caused him to slip a little, he isn't trying to hurt the suffering lump of coal. Leyo quickly regains his composers and sends glares hot enough to help the whole of Antarctica. Jack shrugs and states teasingly. “What falling for me again hot stuff?” Leyo’s face then burned bright with a flustered blush and his hair reignited a bit. “Shut up’b frosty!”

Jack stands from his slumped ‘i know better than you attitude pose’ and takes a few steps closer to the sickly elf. He bends down just so he is a few inches away from him. “Make me,” he says with a wink. With a low growl, Leyo musters his strength and tries lunging at the winter spirit. Only manages to slip and fall, into a pile of snow.

All sensations leave him but the sensation of being cold. Sitting up in the pile of snow, his face blushed harshly. His nose started running and twitching, eyes watering. He could hardly feel the tickle in his nose building up until he started hitching. Jack feels a little bad but this face he is making is so worth it. Leyo scrunches up his face trying not to sneeze but fails. “Hih hiiih hahh!” His chest heaving softly, eyelids fluttering, body going stiff. Finally, a large gasp came before Leyo exploded. “ah!ht’schh! Hh’ixsschh! Ah!ht’schh! Hih hh’ixsschh!” The fit caused his body to shudder and shake, forcedly snapping forwards

“Bless you, snowcone, feel better?” Leyo goes to respond but a new tickle takes up presence he can only manage a rushed ‘not done’ before diving into his hands with more tickling sneezes.

When he finishes he looks up and Jack audible gasps. The poor elf's eyes and nose are running. His face is flushed and his mouth is open, “Most likely since he can't breathe through his nose” he thinks to himself. Jack goes over to the sniffing and shivering elf and scoops him up. “Okay, it is time for you to rest” and lies over on the bed before laying him down on the soft sheets. He whips his hand and a gust of wind brings over the candy-cane themes box of tissues before he takes 5 out and places them over the inflamed appendage. “Blow” he commands. Leyo was too tired to protest like he usually would. Instead, he gave a soft unproductive blow through his nose. He was getting exhausted and barely had the strength the blow his nose properly. Jack knew his boyfriend was tired but also knew that if he didn’t blow out what was clogging him up he wouldn’t get better. Adjusting his position on the bed, he seated himself in a way that allowed Leyo to lean up against his chest. Still keeping the fire elf under the sheets and comfortable, the snow elf cooed gently at him to encourage him. “Charcoal sweetie, I know you’re tired but I need you to blow a little harder.” Leyo gave a little whine and curled up a little. “Come on baby, you won’t be able to sleep if you don’t.” Leyo let out a small okay, and Jack readjusted the tissues against his face. “Go on, blow.” With that Leyo gathered as much strength as he could, took a deep breath, and blew his nose. A loud wet gurgling sound came out, you could truly tell how sick he was from the sound of it. Jack could feel the tissues getting wetter and wetter in his hand. When the other finally stopped and started coughing. Jack started rubbing his back soothingly and kissing Leyo’s overly warm forehead.

A dormant tickle in Jack's nose sparked to life as the heat from the other forehead warmed his face. He quickly turns his face and brings his pasty white hand up to fan his face before he succumbs to the tickle. “Hih ihhh ieehh heh! Hetchew! Hetchew!

The fire elf under him smirks before cuddling under his warm blanket. “Caught a cold, frosty”

He sniffles back congestion before responding “Nope just allergic to your bad vibes” he leans down and plants a kiss before going back to his chair and planning this year's blizzard.

Dutch Warmblood Horse

The Dutch Warmblood horse was a breed that was originally developed in the Netherlands for the purpose of doing heavy agricultural work. It was used often in the woods and on farms in the years between the two world wars.

They are no longer used as often these days, at least not for their original purpose! Dutch Warmbloods can be found in competitions now, and many of the breeds are champions in the ring in events like show jumping. They can be seen being used for pleasure ride horses, too. We will further discuss the characteristics of the Dutch Warmblood in this article.

Dutch Warmblood Characteristics

Dutch Warmblood horses are similar to that of the Belgian breed of horse. This is because the Belgian horse helped to create the Dutch Warmblood. The Dutch Warmblood has a coarse head with a large and kind eye. Their necks and backs are short, with a long shoulder that slopes into a broad chest. They also have strong legs that feature feathering around the hooves. The Dutch Warmblood is a draft breed of horse, but it is smaller than most draft horses are. We will go over some similar details on the breed below.

Dutch Warmblood Size

As mentioned above, the Dutch Warmblood is a breed that is considered to be short when compared to other breeds of draft horse. The breed standard of the Dutch Warmblood states that these horses should be between 15.3 and 17.1 hands tall. On average, though, the Dutch Warmblood is typically 16 hands high. The males of the breed do tend to be a bit larger than the females, and young horses will reach their full size by the time that they are around 4 years old. Luckily, not being the tallest draft horse still does not limit the strength or stamina of the Dutch Warmblood, which are two hallmarks of draft horses.

Dutch Warmblood Weight

When it comes to the weight of a Dutch Warmblood, this breed of horse averages between 1650 and 2200 pounds. This weight, when combined with the shorter height of the Dutch Warmblood, makes them look stockier than other breeds of draft horse. This heavier weight is well supported with strong bones that have the solidity and structure to support the load. As they are typically taller, male horses are also typically a bit heavier than the females of the Dutch Warmblood breed. The Dutch Warmblood foal will weigh about 10% of its mother’s weight at birth. This means that they are typically between 160 and 200 pounds when they are born. At six months, the foals will be at 50% of their adult weight.

Dutch Warmblood Colors

Dutch Warmblood Standing

The Dutch Warmblood typically comes in a few different colors. This breed is most commonly seen in shades of black, chestnut, brown, and some variations of roan. Roan horses are white hairs that are interspersed with the primary coat colors of black, chestnut, and brown.

There are some other colors that we do see in Dutch Warmbloods as well, but are more rare. These rare color options are gray and black. The primary colors of roan, chestnut, and brown are more common in this breed due to the influence of the Belgian draft horse during the breeding and development of the Dutch Warmblood. Dutch Warmbloods can sometimes be referred to as being a blue mould color, too, which is simply a black coat color interspersed with white hairs— it is simply another name for roan.

Dutch Warmblood Temperament

The temperament of the Dutch Warmblood is similar to that of cold-blooded horses. They have calm personalities and are even-tempered, too.

Dutch Warmbloods are also known for having slow, steady movements and for being quiet. These characteristics make them great as agricultural workhorses. However, while this breed is calm and even-tempered, thy can also be grumpy in certain situations.

Dutch Warmbloods are sensitive and can therefore be grumpy or stubborn if they feel like they are being treated poorly. This is why it is important for their handler to be sensitive and caring, so that the horse continues to be a willing worker!

Dutch Warmblood Care

The care of each breed of horse can differ, but the Dutch Warmblood is a breed that requires little maintenance beyond the expected and the ordinary! This is another reason why the breed is well-suited for beginner horseback riders.

Every horse, including the Dutch Warmblood, will require regular veterinary care, shelter, a healthy diet, and physical and mental stimulation. If you provide all of this for your Dutch Warmbloods and keep them healthy, then their average lifespan is between 25 and 30 years. We will go over some of these specific care requirements in more detail below.

Dutch Warmblood Diet and Nutrition

The Dutch Warmblood is a draft horse. This means that the horse will need a larger quantity of food than other breeds of horse would require. Dutch Warmbloods are called “easy keepers”, meaning that their diet should be less than what is typically recommended for draft horses if they are not working. Of course, you will want to be sure that your Dutch Warmblood is able to access plenty of water, as this is an important nutrient.

You will also want to provide them with enough roughage, which can typically be filled by foraging in the forms of pasture and hay. Draft horses whose diet consists of more hay than grass are usually healthier.

You should also pay attention to the nutrition level of the hay. This can vary based on factors such as where it was harvested and the soil type where it was grown. You may also add some grain and nutritional supplements to your horse’s diet, but the addition of grain should be minimal.

Dutch Warmblood Health Issues

Dutch Warmbloods do have some health issues that you should be aware of. Preventative steps may be required in some situations, so you will want to know what to look out for. Type 1 Polysaccharide Storage Myopathy, or PSSM, is one of these issues.

It causes horses to be unable to store glycogen, or sugar, in their muscles. This will cause your horse to tighten up and it may be unable to move at all. The preventative measures that can be taken here are to make sure your Dutch Warmblood exercises regularly, does not become overweight, and eats a strict diet.

Dutch Warmblood Grooming

Grooming is important to keep your horse clean, but also to create a bond between horse and rider! Dirt and debris that is collected on a horse’s coat can cause it to develop health issues, as this debris can become a place for bacteria to congregate and multiply.

By grooming your Dutch Warmblood regularly, you can remove dirt and debris, as well as these potential bacterial backups at the same time. Grooming time can also be a good time for you to check your horse for injuries such as cuts and scrapes that should be treated. Hooves are another part of the horse’s body that should be cleaned and checked daily. Bruising or odors here can be signs of larger issues that need to be addressed.

Dutch Warmblood History

The Dutch Warmblood is not one of the horse breeds out there with the most longevity or the longest history. In fact, they are a younger breed of horse. They developed in the 1900s, in between the two world wars. The Zeeland horse, native to the Netherlands, was crossbred with the Belgian horse in order to create a very large horse that could pull wagons or carriages with ease. They were also used for work in agricultural fields.

The mechanization that rolled out after World War II diminished the need for workhorses, the Dutch Warmblood breed included. This threatened the population of the breed, but it has stabilized these days.

Dutch Warmblood Origin

The Dutch Warmblood was born out of the need for a heavy-duty horse in the 1900s in the Netherlands— specifically in the Zeeland and North Brabant provinces. They were a cross between the Zeeland horse, which was native to the area, and the larger Belgian horse.

They were bred to work in the marine clay of the Groningen province, as well as on the arable farmland of the area. There was a need for horses that were able to hold up against a day of hard work.

Dutch Warmblood Historic Development

Breeding of the Dutch Warmblood horse was concentrated in the three areas that needed them and most frequently put them to use. These areas were, of course, Zeeland, North Brabant, and Groningen. In addition, the breed was used in South Holland and its surrounding provinces, where they were put to use as tug horses. They were a very important breed for the Dutch people! After World War II, breed numbers dropped when mechanization limited the need for draft animals.

Luckily, the Dutch Warmblood— or the Nederlands Trekpaard as they are called by the Dutch— were preserved by a group of breeders.

The breed is tied to the tradition of ring riding and the annual beach ride welcoming spring to the region, so it was important to preserve the breed as a link to the region’s history! Plus, breeders did have practical uses for the horses, and we still see Dutch Warmbloods in these practical roles to this day.

Notable Dutch Warmbloods

There are quite a few famous Dutch Warmblood horses that we have seen throughout the years. Many of them are seen in photos of the landscape of Holland, or are used as models for toy horses for children. We will go over a few of these iconic Dutch Warmbloods further in the article.

Maarten

Maarten is an internet star, which is more than we can say for many famous horses! This notable Dutch Warmblood is a gelding who stars in a Youtube video that has over 2.8 million views. In it, Maarten and his rider, Koudbloed Kim, are seen cantering toward the camera on a trail in the woods. He is a traditional-looking Dutch Warmblood that has a star on his forehead.

Zeeuws Horses

The word Zeeuws is the Dutch word for Zeeland, and it is a place where many photographers come to explore. Their photos can be found on stock photo sites like Shutterstock, and the horses in these photos are typically referred to as Zeeuws horses. Some iconic pictures of these horses also feature the windmills in Holland in the background, or the traditional braided manes while the horses stand on the beach in Zeeland.

The Breyer Model

Breyer horse models have been a way that the Dutch Warmblood delighted horse lovers for many years! The Dutch Draft mare is a popular Breyer model. She is a blue roan that shows off the typical breed characteristics of the Dutch Warmblood.

Collectors have made this model very popular, and it is actually out of stock due to its high demand! However, there were plans in place to produce more in late 2022— hopefully, this means some more horse lovers were able to get their hands on one!

Dutch Warmblood Myths and Legends

As the Dutch Warmblood is a fairly young breed, especially compared to other breeds of horse, there are not very many ancient legends about them! That being said, there are still more modern stories and interesting historical facts about the breed. We will go over some of the stories that can be associated with the Dutch Warmblood below.

Fancy Trotters

Dutch riders like a horse that is fancy with a good turn of the hoof, and this is not something they gave up on when breeding what we recognize as the Dutch Warmblood today.

The Dutch Warmblood is known for having an elegant, fancy trot when they move, even though they are a massive horse! The breed is beautiful to watch move, whether in harness or under saddle.

Slow and Steady

Another trait of the Ditch Warmblood is the breed’s slow and steady gate. This trait was one of the reasons that they were used for agricultural work. Though the breed is known for an unhurried gait, they are also able to run at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour. This fact is pretty clear from events where the horses have a lighter load and more open space— such as the annual beach race.

The Same As a Belgian

Some think of the Dutch Warmblood and the Belgian breeds of horse as being interchangeable. However, this is a myth! The Belgian was used to create the Dutch Warmblood breed while it was still being developed.

These days, though, these horses are two different breeds of horse, and each has its own distinct bloodline. There are even two different organizations that handle Dutch Warmblood pedigrees, one of these being the Royal Society of the Dutch Draft Horse which was founded all the way back in 1914.

Modern Dutch Warmblood Horses

The past 50 years or so have served as a Renaissance of sorts for the Dutch Warmblood breed. The types of these horses that we now see today exemplify this! They can be found being used as leisure horses in both riding and driving. They are also often shown off for their physical appearance and physical characteristics like their strength. We will discuss the modern Dutch Warmblood in more detail below, so keep reading!

Dutch Warmblood Breeding

The majority of Dutch Warmblood breeding happens in the Netherlands, which of course makes sense because this is where the breed originated and was developed. They are also not widely available outside of the Netherlands.

Some of the breed have been exported and select individuals are available in other locations as well. The two breed organizations in the Netherlands work to carefully track and then promote Dutch Warmblood breeding, with the goal of preserving bloodlines and ensuring that the breed continues to thrive. Dutch Warmblood stallions are required to pass DNA testing, among some other tests, in order to be approved to stand at stud.

These days, the breed is most often bred for leisure uses, or for their ties to Dutch culture. Some, though, are still used for working on farms or pulling loads in areas where modern equipment struggles, but this is not as common as it used to be when the breed was first developed.

Dutch Warmblood Population

The Dutch Warmblood breed is considered to be an endangered breed of horse these days, due to their low population. It has stabilized, however, and there are 3000 mares listed in the Netherlands.

This, of course, does not include the number of stallions, gelding, and young stock of the breed that are out there! It is mare numbers, though, that are crucial to the survival and success of the Dutch Warmblood breed. Most of the breed population is located in the Netherlands, with some Dutch Warmbloods having been imported throughout Europe or to America by breed enthusiasts.

Dutch Warmblood Uses

Dutch Warmbloods are now commonly used for leisure rides and for purposes linked to Dutch culture, as there is less need for them on farms in the modern day. For instance, the breed is ridden every year in the Netherlands at the Strao Festival, and at the beach ride. There is also a group of Dutch Warmblood breeders and owners that was formed to promote traditional uses of these horses. This group is called the Stichting het Werkend Trekpaard Zeeland and was organized in the 1930s. There are currently 15 members whose activities with the horses include harvest days and use of traditional outfits, dressage, and equipment.
