DJ Confessing his Love to Reader (with the Help of Geoff and Duncan)

Thank you so much for reading :) ♡!

You are incredibly kind and thoughtful, anon ( ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ ·̫ ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀ ) ❤︎!! I definitely haven’t had the best mental health in recent times, although I am okay! Small things like your message and concern really do bring light and make it much easier to keep going with more positivity.

Thank you so much for your compliments on the way I write characters and for my blog as a whole. It really means a lot ♡! I started this blog originally because I was worried I didn’t have a good handle on writing characters in a way that was true to their canon depictions while expanding on them accurately and wanted to improve, so it’s very rewarding to hear your kind words!

I don’t currently plan to move my writing to any other platform, but if I ever decide to do so and write longer stories I will absolutely update it on this account! Your interest and support is genuinely, so, so appreciated ♡!!

I’ve received your request and I love it! I look forward to when I do get the time to explore your fun idea.

Hi! Yes I do :).

I have been overwhelmed in my personal life, and I’ve neglected writing on here primarily for that reason.

If you’d like to suggest something, I’d be very happy to keep it in mind. I will definitely see it. It will probably take me some time to get to writing it properly though. I always want to ensure that what I post is the best it can be for you so sometimes I end up taking a long time, especially with how busy I’ve been.

It truly makes me happy that anyone is interested in my writing, so thank you very much :)!

I hope you have a good day ♡!

he tries to make it romantic even though it's a bit difficult with his nerves and the fact theyre on camp, which isnt the most romantic place

sorry if the request is bad! idk how to put it really

Hi! This request is so adorable! I love the addition of Geoff and Duncan helping DJ and then prying in on the confession :,). It’s so in-character for all of them and fun! I apologize for taking so long to complete this – I hope that I was able to write it in a way that you love :)!

DJ Confessing his Love to Reader (with the Help of Geoff and Duncan) ₊˚⊹♡

You were awoken to the sound of something tapping on your window. It was incredibly early, too early, and you found yourself tremendously drained from the strenuous nature of yesterday’s challenge. You experienced an overwhelmingly dreadful anticipation for waking up before you even fell asleep the night prior. Still half-asleep and completely dazed, you begrudgingly attempted to get up from your position on your bunk bed to see what caught your attention outside your window. There was nothing there. You were frustrated, though your curiosity was increasingly profound. Eager to see what could have possibly alerted you to wake up, you opened the front door of your shared cabin.

“Hey, dude! Did you see how totally awesome the sun looks right now?” Geoff boisterously exclaimed, emerging from your peripheral vision in a slightly suspicious yet innoxious manner.

“Oh, yeah. You should come down to the beach and get a real good view of it right now,” Duncan told you with a mischievous smirk taking over his face.

This caught you off guard in more ways than your tired mind could begin to fathom. Why were they awake so early, and how were they seemingly so lively as well, why did they both happen to meet you in the odd location of the front of your cabin, and why were they trying so hard for you to see the sunrise on the beach specifically? The eager pair continuously motioned for you in the direction of the beach, to your confusion. Skeptical, still overtired and unable to fully process the situation you were swept into, you found yourself inching closer towards the rather unassuming beach of Wawanakwa. There was a tall shadow in the distance, and your still somewhat clouded vision required additional time to focus. It was DJ. The absurdity of the situation was starting to become more sensible. You turned to alert Geoff and Duncan that you needed a moment to get dressed as you were still wearing your sleepwear, though they were nowhere to be found. You rushed back to your cabin to quickly make yourself feel presentable, still somewhat perplexed by the circumstances.

❤︎₊⊹⟡⋆

“Hey, (Y/N)! You look beautiful this morning.” DJ handed you a bouquet of a mixture of different flowers. It was certainly evident that the bouquet was homemade, but in a surprisingly beautiful way. It wasn’t put together elegantly, but it was notably assembled with heart behind it.

“For you! It was kind of hard finding flowers on the island, but I managed to find some deep in the woodsier area that I thought you would love,” DJ expressed with his nervousness quite obvious to you.

It seemed as if DJ didn’t realize that his friends had completely disturbed your rest, and you felt that it was better you didn’t inform him of this. He was so sweet, and his thoughtfulness touched you. The silliness of the entire ordeal brought you a peculiar sense of comfort.

DJ squinted, the rising sunlight shining directly into his eyes as he spoke. He blocked the sun’s overbearing light with his hand and awkwardly chuckled. You noticed him looking into your eyes when his hand successfully shaded his eyesight, attempting to observe if you, too, had been temporarily blinded by the sun. DJ positioned himself as a barrier between you and the sun to protect you from its rays.

“Is this better? I wanted you to be able to see the pretty sunrise! I don’t want it to hurt your eyes though.” DJ looked in your direction with a nervous though welcoming smile.

It took DJ a moment to gather his thoughts. You could tell he was anxious to speak to you, but his efforts to make you feel comfortable provided reassurance. The sound of leaves rustling and what almost sounded like shushed voices in the distance behind you piqued your curiosity. Opening his mouth to speak to you, DJ’s eyes suddenly darted with a slight look of concern emerging on his face. He sheepishly attempted to maintain your attention, assuring that he didn’t see anything alarming.

“I’ve never met someone so caring, smart, and thoughtful in the exceptional ways that you are. The honor of getting to know you has brought me so much happiness. I want you to know that I love you. I hope that I’ve made you feel the same way.”

Although DJ was experiencing a tremendous ordeal of anxiety about expressing his feelings to you, he was actually quite graceful with romance when his nerves eased. He knew how to treat someone right, with care, gentleness, compassion, and tender admiration. Your face lit up in response to his words, with DJ taking notice and beaming in return.

“And you know who else would love you just as much as I do? Well- maybe not as much as me because that’s a whole lot of love to beat,” DJ expressed, letting out a bit of nervous laughter. 

“My Momma! You represent everything that she could dream of in a partner for me. You’re kind, humble, and not to mention absolutely beautiful,” his eyes tenderly met yours though he found himself immediately glancing down. His timid nature was surprisingly soothing and endearing at the same time.

“I can’t wait for you to meet her one day! And try her cooking too- I bet you she’ll make you something extra special when she meets you!”

DJ was sincere in his words. You knew how important his mother was to him and how deeply he valued her opinions and perspectives. You envisioned a future with him filled with safety, comfort, understanding between you both. You felt giggly with excitement in the moment and peace at the thought of your connection to DJ.

There was something really sweet about DJ being so eager to make this moment perfect for you. Despite the elements of Wawanakwa being against you both, the island felt unusually beautiful in this moment. The sound of the water gently brushing against the dock, the pink and red hues of the now less overbearing rising sun, it felt comforting with DJ beside you. Almost as if every negative detail about staying on the island disappeared for a moment in time, like every grueling aspect of the competition you’ve endured thus far was worth it for the reward of having such a sweet boy develop a loyal care for you.

“Come on, (Y/N). You want to rest with me for a bit somewhere more comfortable for you before the day really starts?” DJ spoke to you in such a soft, welcoming tone.

DJ shakily, though very delicately, took your hand and attempted to steadily guide you to the end of the dock, placing you both to have a direct view of the water glimmering with the rising sunshine illuminating your environment. The wooden panels of the dock were “more comfortable?” You laughed internally, appreciating his effort. He guided you with his big hands placed on your shoulders gently encouraging you to sit. You looked up at his tall frame follow your movements and sit beside you, awkwardly attempting to find a less uncomfortable sitting position for his legs. He presented you with a shy, but genuine smile, as if he was mentally preparing to do something. Hesitantly, DJ put his arm around you, softly pulling you in to his body.

“I-is this okay with you? Does this feel alright? I want to make sure I’m not making you uncomfortable or anything! Your safety and comfort is really important to me, (Y/N).”

You found your entire body overwhelmed with a combination of giddy excitement and the comforting warmth that his endearing affection provided you. You leaned your head into his shoulder earnestly. It fit perfectly, as if the space on him was there for you to rest your head specifically. You heard DJ sigh a gentle exasperation of relief and what was evidently a similar type of giddy joy that you were experiencing. He leaned his head towards yours and slowly rubbed your outer arm in gentle, repetitive movements. Viewing the sunrise with DJ holding you felt right. Perhaps he was correct, the dock actually did feel pretty comfortable somehow!

A seagull hopped in front of you and DJ, squawking at an abnormally loud volume in the midst of the serene moment you shared together. Startled, DJ instinctively jumped and you gently flinched. You giggled, which grounded him from his short-lived fear. Signs of your joy filled his sensitive heart with contentedness, as if all he ever wanted was for you to experience happiness. He laughed in response and positioned himself to return to the comforting way he had been holding you. The sun was warm, but in a cozy way, like a lighter blanket from the sky was covering you and DJ together. This combined with the comfort you felt by DJ and from his gentle motions on your arm and shoulder led you to peacefully fall asleep.

The sounds of the muffled cheers of over-excited boys arose from the same area behind the trees that caught your attention before. DJ panicked, instantly motioning with his hands for his friends to be quiet and to get out, in fear that them being exposed again would disturb your slumber. The muffled cheers transformed into stifled laughter.

But you were fast asleep. DJ exhaled in relief again, gratefully admiring your tranquility. He looked at your face, a face with features he found so beautifully captivating and precious, and closed his eyes, fulfilled in your presence.

Hi, it is more than alright with me :)! Cody is my favorite, and I was super excited to write and explore these headcanons! I watched Howl’s Moving Castle after receiving this request and I really adored watching the film as well! I’m not sure if I wrote these in the exact way you hoped, and I will gladly adjust anything if I misinterpreted your idea! I’m so sorry for the long wait and I hope that you really like them ⸜(˃ ᵕ ˂)⸝♡!

Headcanons for Cody Anderson with a Gorgeous yet Eccentric Significant Other ₊˚⊹♡

Cody was completely infatuated with you the instant that he laid his eyes on you. He was absolutely captivated by your beauty, and his self-assurance led him to waste no time in approaching you. He was bold in his immediate attraction to you, but surprisingly, you were bolder! He wasn’t expecting this- his advances and efforts to be suave were almost always met with a lack of interest and decline. He didn’t foresee you to be so daring and vibrant! These are some of the endless characteristics you display that make him head over heels for you. His already powerful early adoration for you set the stage for the incredibly effervescent, supportive connection you came to share together.

You engage in a lot of charming banter together, always complimenting each other, bouncing off of each other’s inviting, light-hearted comments. Cody is quite simply always in awe of your striking appearance and personality, and he tries his best to match your whimsical charm, though it’s not always as effective as he both perceives and hopes it to be, though you adore his attempts regardless!

He loves showing you off! He is so proud to have a partner so fascinating and stunning and he wants everyone to know how cool and enchanting you are!

There are hundreds (!) of surprise hugs in your relationship. You often find yourself having an overwhelming urge to jump into Cody’s arms, lap, absolutely any aspect of him that you can cling onto or hug. Sometimes you like to do this when he’s unsuspecting of it, such as when his attention is entirely fixated on beating a level in a game he’s immersed in playing, when he’s reading a news article, or talking with some of your close friends that you share. This almost inevitably makes his jittery self jump in fear– but he loves when you do this! As soon as his initial fright fades, he is holding you tight with the biggest smile, characterized by his prominent tooth gap, on his face. You make him feel so loved in a way that, deep down in his heart, he never actually expected to experience in his life time.

Your relationship is incredibly fulfilling, adventurous, and, and its core, fun-loving. It’s abundant with lots of laughter and silliness!

Providing the other with encouragement and compassion is something that you both excel in. Cody is able to ground you emotionally and serves as a soft, safe space for you in your often busy, tireless life. He isn’t necessarily always incredible with the way he expresses himself, but the comfort he seeks to provide you with is authentic, and you are able to feel the enormous amount of care he has for you and your well-being always. He is a very physically affectionate individual, even when it’s carried out more awkwardly. When he comforts you, he does so by holding your face gently in his hand, brushing your hair out of your face with his other. Maybe he struggles to softly push your hair out of the way sometimes, resulting in his fingers getting stuck in your hair strands. He is always charming in his efforts, and incidences like these make you giggle at his unsuccessful attempts at being smooth during emotionally challenging times.

If others are a bit dismissive or unapproving of your eccentricity, Cody gets rather defensive and protective of you. He isn’t able to comprehend how anyone could be unappreciative your quirks.

You often notice Cody staring at you in awe, regardless of the context of the environment around you or situation that you are existing within. When you catch him, he smirks, unashamed and openly flirtatiously complimenting any of the many things about you that draws him into your beauty.

You earnestly make a tremendous, over-the-top in the best ways, effort on special events like holidays, especially days important to Cody like his birthday. With your knowledge of his parents’ neglect to remember such an important date and how this hurt him significantly, you make it a priority to provide him with the grandest, sometimes unconventional, birthdays. The birthday parties that you organize for him are exceptional and unique, and you shower him in a mix of thoughtful and creative gifts. You are creative and exuberant in your artistic endeavors with decor and gift-giving. There’s lots of unique candy, chocolate, and pastries involved for Cody as well! He appreciates your care and attentiveness and always tries to ensure that you know how grateful he is for your love.

If you celebrate Halloween together, you are absolutely taking this holiday to the extreme as well. Your outlandish imagination enables you to come up with unique, sometimes bizarre couples costumes. It’s become a tradition for you both to be dramatic and rather extraordinary with your costumes. Sometimes your costumes are super dorky, still reflecting your creative mind. Cody’s passion and proficiency in technology encourages him to create fascinating additions to your somewhat homemade costumes. Your brains together, and alone, are both inquisitive and bright. When your ideas blend together, you both excitedly babble together about what you’re going to do and how you’re going to do it, reflecting the pure enjoyment you share that you allows you to flourish together.

Cody is always taking photos of you, something that he adores doing to capture how incredible you look to him at any given moment while you get to shine and model your glamorous appearance in ways that you find both amusing and gratifying.

When you notice slight changes in your appearance, think for example getting the tiniest, unnoticeable pimple in your face, and you feel yourself starting to spiral and announce this vocally in a panic, Cody simply cannot fathom your distress and is there to reassure you endlessly about a plethora of things about you that captivate him.

“What do you mean? Are you serious babe? You’re the most jaw-dropping, breathtaking, stunning person inside-and-out that I have ever seen in the entire universe! Not a single thing in this world could ever change that! I mean it, really!”

You are pet parents to a rather unconventional animal (or multiple) that you both have welcomed wholeheartedly into your life together. It was your idea, and he pretty much willingly agrees with anything you suggest or say, even if he’s a bit apprehensive initially. Maybe you have a sugar glider, hedgehog, or an axolotl. He’s a really good “dad” to any animal you share, even if he’s a bit more private about this side of him being exposed. He’s always referring to himself in the third person as your pet’s “dad” or “papa” when you’re alone and you find it to be one of the many examples of his lovably goofy personality.

Despite his present anxiety, Cody is a very easygoing, amiable person, making him a great partner for your unorthodox ideas, excitement, and confidence. The trust you have together speaks volumes about the strength of your relationship and how easy it is for you both to naturally be yourselves, unapologetically, together!

i wanted to know if you do character x character asks?

if yes, could i get an established relationship bridgette x courtney scenario where courtney comforts bridgette while she’s crying? the reason why is up to you, really!

(of course if that’s okay with you!!)

Hi!! Thank you so much for your kind words :,)!!

I don’t usually do character x character as I don’t have too much experience writing some pairings so I’m a bit worried it won’t be as polished as I’d wish it to be! Though, I wanted to try for you because I am really grateful for your support (˙ᵕ˙) ♡! I hope that you enjoy reading it and thank you so much again :)! I had fun writing this (and rewatching some Courtney and Bridgette scenes – their interactions in Island especially are a delight)!

A Gentle Exploration of Courtney Comforting Bridgette (Bridgney) ₊˚⊹♡

Although Courtney prioritized being perceived as an individual that maintained a strong sense of control over her emotions, and ensured she was relatively guarded throughout her life, her relationship with Bridgette encouraged the more tender, emotional core of her character to emerge. Bridgette was compassionate, loving, and fun. She was passionate about her craft, wildlife, her friendships. She entered situations with a sense of serenity mixed with glee. Her devotion to many elements of the world around her introduced Courtney to a simultaneously invigorating and gentle appreciation for life. She loved Bridgette. She loved the way that she made her feel. Bridgette made her happy, she made her giggle more than she could have ever imagined she would in her entire life that she planned to dedicate fully to her career. Courtney was captivated by her golden blonde hair and the way the sunlight softly illuminated her sharp yet smooth features. Courtney was typically the one who needed more reassurance in the relationship, much to her dismay to even think to admit. To see Bridgette hurting evoked a stinging sensation deep in her heart, almost as if she experienced the same emotional pain her girlfriend endured in the moment.

The weather was exceptional, creating optimal conditions for surfing, which Bridgette wholeheartedly took advantage of. Courtney had planned to meet her girlfriend in the early evening, with the pair arranging a casual dinner date followed by a cozy sleepover. This was an activity that they commonly found themselves looking forward to. During the daytime, Bridgette often explored her natural element of surfing waves in the ocean that sparkled from the brilliant glow of the sun while her studious partner devoted herself to progressing in her academic and career life. Spending time together in the evening allowed for both of them to decompress in a way that provided peace in their otherwise eventful lives. It is almost as if Courtney could sense that an element in the routine equation was missing this day. There was an oddly somber undertone despite the warm, sunny environment she found herself within as she walked along the beachside to locate her girlfriend, who wasn’t being as responsive as she typically was to her messages periodically notifying her that she was increasingly closer to arriving at the beach. In the distance, she caught a glimpse of Bridgette sitting alone, illuminated by the warm shades of the sun setting in front of her, with her head slightly turned down. Slightly perplexed and immediately alarmed, Courtney approached her with a pace that exhibited a sense of urgency.

Bridgette appeared reluctant to face Courtney, clearly not feeling herself, attempting to reduce the sound of her voice to avoid her shaky tone from being exposed. It was impossible for Bridgette, or anyone, to hide their strong emotions from Courtney’s observant and intuitive mind. She carefully set her hand on Bridgette’s shoulder, serving as the catalyst that led to Bridgette openly disclosing her sadness to her concerned girlfriend.

“I’ve been crying for like, an hour Courtney. I didn’t want to make you sad, I wanted to have a good night with you, the way we usually do!” Bridgette’s olive-colored eyes were blurred by a glossy layer of tears, meeting with Courtney’s worried gaze.

“I just had an awful day today. I feel that so many people are incredibly mean, inconsiderate for the beauty and fragility of other people, the beach, and the biodiversity within it. I feel so overwhelmed with sadness that I don’t know what to do with myself anymore.”

Before Courtney could organize a way to vocally provide moral support, she gently welcomed her disheartened girlfriend into a warm, loving hug. She wanted Bridgette to feel secure and comfortable in showing her sensitivity and seeking comfort in her, in the same way that Courtney herself did with Bridgette’s unwavering support. Bridgette’s body was drained from her sorrow and exhausted from her tears. Her head was sore from the combination of the tight grip of her ponytail and the dull headache that formed in response to her distress.

“Here, darling.” Courtney slowly and carefully began to untangle the baby blue scrunchie holding Bridgette’s hair in the tight ponytail trademarked to her appearance. She delicately rubbed her head, soothing the area where her hair was firmly held.

Bridgette leaned her head into Courtney’s chest, further exposing her vulnerability and demonstrating the sense of safety she indeed felt in her partner’s arms. Bridgette found solace in her comforting frame, and the subtle yet beautiful scent of cinnamon and warm, elegant vanilla that she emitted. This was a healing event for both of them. Bridgette’s sun-kissed skin radiated an aroma of ocean breeze and sunscreen, the kind that has a hint of coconut, which filled Courtney with ease.

“You are a good person.” Courtney’s hand gently urged Bridgette to look up at her. Her thumb wiped her tears in a comforting manner that reflected how precious and fragile Courtney viewed her to be.

“The world is harsh, cruel, and unforgivable. Yet, your nature is untouched. The kind soul you possess is evident in the way you never allow the cruelty of others to alter your heart. I truly love that about you, Bridgette.”

In a state of overwhelm, Bridgette was unable to properly articulate to Courtney how significant her words were to her, but her appreciation was understood by Courtney regardless. Courtney placed her head on Bridgette’s and continued to provide her with reassuring words, admiring her resilience, her kind-heart, and her cheerful spirit despite any adversity she faced, gradually allowing Bridgette to feel more rested and content with her strength, selflessness, and benevolence.

Courtney gently opened the passenger door of her car for Bridgette, softly placing her hand on her back to lightly soothe her into comfortably getting in. Bridgette’s eyes gracefully met Courtney’s after she quickly settled into the seat. Her enchanting green eyes were seemingly rounder than usual, and communicated so strongly the appreciation she had for Courtney’s support without the need for any vocal expression. A soft smile appeared on Courtney’s face before she could even begin to intentionally move the muscles on her face. It remained soft yet reflected an air of confidence, proud of herself for accomplishing the paramount act of taking care of Bridgette.

“All better with the help of me, right?” Courtney announced assuredly, but with a lighthearted tease.

Bridgette chuckled, “Of course. You can do anything babe!”

“Correct!” Courtney peeked her head into the car and gave Bridgette a kiss on her forehead, inspiring an enormous, closed-eye smile to appear on her face.

Courtney reached into the trunk to retrieve a cotton blanket that she always kept for emergencies. She was always prepared. The blanket was an earthy, forest green, effective in providing tranquility for those blessed to be wrapped within it. Courtney covered Bridgette, immediately surrounding her with the loving warmth of the blanket and the intentions guiding its placement. Plans were certainly altered slightly, dining in at home while watching one of Bridgette’s favorite movies was more ideal for the night. Courtney pet her golden hair softly, before she shifted her focus to driving safely and avoiding rougher areas of the road that could disrupt her girlfriend’s comfort. The soft pink and yellow glow of the sunset shined directly onto Bridgette, who was now peacefully sleeping. Courtney admired her with a faint smile, saddened by the hurt she was recovering from but full of love for her entire being.

Hello (｡•◡•｡)! I do welcome requests as of this moment, although I am a full time student and do not have too much free time as a consequence. I may take some time to reply or complete a request if I am able to do it.

There is no judgement for your requests! Although, I may not do a request if it’s something I’m personally not comfortable with, or is something that I’m not well-versed within or feel that I can’t execute effectively. Therefore, I can’t promise that I will be able to do every request if I receive them, though I will do my best :).

I typically write shorter scenario things, such as characters being the reader’s romantic partner in particular contexts, and am also happy to do silly things like connecting or assigning characters to animals or other cute things.

Writing snippets / imagines of some of the Total Drama boys taking care of you when you’re unwell, specifically in the context of them being your romantic partner.

Characters featured: Cody, Trent, Tyler, Duncan, Alejandro.

Cody ദ്ദി(˵ •᷄ ᴗ -˵)

Cody genuinely goes above and beyond when taking care of you, even if it ends up coming across as incredibly awkward or a bit excessive at times. His fruitless efforts to be perceived as “cool” are more toned down when you are vulnerable and in need of comfort and attentiveness.

His initial reaction to you being sick is a combination of concern for your well-being and an eagerness to prove to you just how much he will do to help you feel better. Internally, he’s worried that he won’t be able to look after you properly, but he will do everything in his power to look after you, while simultaneously, and awkwardly, trying to hide how nervous he is to do so.

His intelligence equips him with some areas of knowledge that are necessary to attending to your specific needs, and he will comprehensively research anything that he needs to in an effort to increase the chances for him to be successful in caring for you.

Expect flirtatious comments intertwined with dorky, well-meaning support.

“Don’t worry babe, the Code-man’s gonna take care of you!”

(Taking your temperature, feeling your forehead) “Wow sweetie, you’re so hot! I mean – literally too, heh!” followed by an “I’ll do everything to make you feel better!”

If you’re well enough and wanting to do so, you’ll cuddle together while playing video games. Whatever game you want to play, he’ll prepare every console or device for you without hesitation. If it’s a game where customization is involved, he’ll thoughtfully go out of his way to create an extravagant in-game surprise for you. This can be something like creating a cozy area for you in a game like Animal Crossing, preparing in-game gifts for you to make you smile, writing doting or flirty messages for you, and buying you game content with real money as a treat.

He absolutely adores holding you and cuddling with you, and it is no exception when you’re sick. He can be quite clingy. Expect verbal reassurance, physical touch, and kisses. His good nature and sweet side shines deeply in this context. He looks at you as he holds you with worry, and when you notice him looking at you in this way, he immediately shifts his expression to a giant, tooth-gapped grin or smirk to avoid worrying you. He really just wants you to feel better and make you feel as happy as he does in your relationship.

He’s always trying to cheer you up and doing endearingly silly things to do so. Perhaps he tries to goofily perform a song for you on his keyboard to impress you or tells you absurd facts he’s studied to make you giggle. His stuffed emu plush, Jerry, often becomes involved as your secondary caretaker.

He’ll do or buy absolutely anything you need, whether you specifically request it, or he takes the initiative to do so himself. If he needs to take a trip to a store to purchase something such as medicine for you, he’ll pick up flowers, a stuffed animal, and candy along the way for you too. He comes home stumbling semi-confidently with tons of stuff in his arms for you that he can barely carry the weight of.

You’ll be slowly rocked to sleep in his arms, his small frame providing surprisingly large, tender comfort. He feels relief when you fall asleep in his arms, knowing that you can’t be in any discomfort or pain while you rest. You are precious to him.

Trent ♫(･‿･๑)

Trent is very sweet and gentle with you, he always is, but he is extra attentive when you are feeling unwell. He hates seeing his love uncomfortable or hurting in any kind of way.

He ensures that you’re eating or drinking enough and in the way that your body needs to during this time period. This entails bringing you soup or any comfort food, prioritizing keeping you hydrated, and always getting more food or water for you without any hesitation or complaints. He’ll spoon feed you if you need, or just want, him to do so, attentively delivering you small portions of food when you’re ready. He’ll also assist you in drinking water, holding water bottles up to your face at a slow pace, gently tilting the bottle to make sure that it is not too forceful for you.

If you are not with him in person for any reason, he will check in on you periodically, messaging or calling you to remind you to be extra gentle on yourself and that he is there if you need him.

“Hey my love, just checking in to see how you’re doing. You let me know if you need anything at all. Don’t hesitate and be gentle on yourself. Cool? Love you.”

If you’re concerned that he will get sick from being so close to you while taking care of you and express this to him, he will endlessly reassure you that him helping you feel better is always worth getting sick, but assures you not to worry and focus on feeling better as he’ll be fine.

He is the type of boyfriend to hold you softly when you’re unwell, tenderly rubbing your head and your back, gently brushing your hair out of your face, all while gazing at you with so much genuine love and concern. Expect soft kisses to your warm forehead, assisting you to get out of bed by holding your body for support, welcoming you to lean into him when you need to with open arms.

You’ll watch comfort films together when you’re in the mood for it, with him constantly looking down at you while his arms are wrapped around you under the large cozy blanket he placed around you to make sure you’re warm and hugged with comfort. He rubs your back in soft, soothing motions throughout a movie. He’s enjoying whatever you’re watching together, but his attention is shifted more strongly to ensuring that you’re alright. You always come first for him.

As you begin to fall asleep from exhaustion, he will gently play his guitar to soothe you to sleep. He does so in a serene and soft way, the strums of the guitar strings gently encouraging your body to heal and rest. Alternatively, if the guitar is too loud or overstimulating for you in the moment, he’ll sing you a quiet lullaby or ballad to bring you peace. He sings with tremendous love.

Tyler (ง • ̀ᴗ •́) ง

Tyler adores you, and seeing you sick hurts his enormous heart! His concern for you will be transparent on his worried facial expression and immediate, over-the-top but good-hearted intentions to care for you.

“My poor baby! Don’t worry! I’ll make sure you’re feeling all better real soon, babe!” (emphasized as he clumsily staggers around to retrieve anything he needs that he thinks will help you feel better)

While taking care of you, he inevitably manages to injure himself in several ways, such as ramming into the door frame of your room as he energetically rushes to your aid with whatever he sought to get for you, loudly pretending that he’s totally fine after the ordeal.

He makes sure to tell you how beautiful you look even when your sickness weighing down your body is visibly showing. Importantly, he really means what he is telling you. Even in your most vulnerable state, where you are not polished and feeling confident in your appearance in various ways, your beauty never hinders for him, not even slightly.

He’ll hold your hair back out of your face and take your makeup off for you if you were out or had your makeup done before you started to feel poorly. He may not know the right products to use, but his boyish attempts to do so make you giggle and get the job done thoughtfully. He’ll hold your face gently while doing so, which takes a conscious effort for him due to the extreme strength he possesses in each of his fingers!

He’ll pick you up and carry you wherever you need to be. Carrying you from your bed to the bathroom, the kitchen, and back to your bed. Tucking you into bed, placing your covers over you lovingly, is another responsibility that he is content in fulfilling. Your relationship is wholesome and brings about a sense of joy that reminds you of a nostalgic type of delight.

He feels honored to be able to take care of you and does so with pride.

“You’re gonna be okay, my y/n, I’ll make sure of it!”

He’ll kiss you on your lips tenderly, completely forgetting that doing so will likely result in him inevitably getting sick. This revelation does not arise until he comes down with the same sickness you had a few days later.

He will buy you one of those ginormous teddy bears, which you end up resting on. He finds it so adorable seeing you by it, so grateful to have such a precious partner and hoping that you’ll feel completely better soon.

Duncan ( •̀⤙•́ )

Duncan attempts to act nonchalant when the earliest signs of you feeling sick begin to emerge, reassuring you that you’ll be fine and it’s nothing to worry about, but truly, he’s incredibly concerned and wishes he could take away every ounce of discomfort in your body and mind. He brushes your worries off as much as he can, but his love and concern for your health is rather transparent, to his dismay.

He is a massive “baby” when he’s not feeling well and equally turns to mush when he’s exposed to seeing you unguarded and hurting, it just takes a bit of time and comfort. The sentimental heart he possesses under the thick layers of his harsh exterior is shown to only a select few individuals, and you are the one who sees it in its truest form, even if it’s not too often. When you’re sick, his softness gradually, though slowly, emerges.

Expect mild “baby talk” amongst his typical flirtatious comments, but don’t tell anyone. “Alright baby girl, I got you, take it easy,” he tells you with his arms wrapped around you, somehow expressed in a slightly rough yet tender manner at the same time. It is comforting, not aggressive.

If someone in your life was aware that they were sick and had the careless audacity to be around you before you fell ill, he would be absolutely enraged by their neglect to care for your safety in exposing you to their sickness. He is extremely protective of you, of both your physical self and your mind. He’d announce his frustrations in front of you vocally, developing an immediate, powerful distaste for whoever was indifferent to exposing you, holding you tightly in his strong arms while you lean into him.

His temper with everyone in his life is further shortened during the time period in which you’re sick. He is mentally exhausted from being so concerned for you, as well as trying to hide the extent of it, and an extra short fuse with others is the result. Not with you though, he does his best to not allow himself to lash out at you when you’re not well.

He cares for you deeply, although he definitely isn’t always the best at actually demonstrating this to you when you’re feeling sick. He might do small research (quick, not thorough, but well-intentioned internet searches) on how to help someone feeling the way you do feel better.

You catch him staring at you with an expression that you rarely see on his face. His face is riddled with apprehension and despair. His eyes are soft and sad, and his entire face is slightly droopy. He doesn’t realize that you noticed this. He loves you so much, and the thought of your sickness getting more severe terrifies him in ways he can’t and won’t willingly articulate.

When you’re sleepy or resting, he will be by your side, serving as your protector. He’ll hold you tightly, keeping you warm with his body, your head buried into his chest. The faint sound of the television from the movie he put on to try to distract you from your aching state lulls you to sleep. In anticipation for your body’s need to rest, he discreetly lowered the volume. You and your well-being are always on his mind.

Alejandro (˵˘ ³˘˵)

Alejandro can sense that you are becoming ill long before you begin to question whether you’re catching something or finding yourself increasingly under the weather. He is so attentive to your being, and the instant that something is even faintly different, he knows.

As he does throughout the entirety of your relationship, he both affectionately and flirtatiously refers to you with a variety of adoring pet names as he tends to your sickness. “Mi amor,” “Mrs. Burromuerto,” “Princesa.”

“Rest well, my princesa, I need you back to yourself.” “Did you know you’re gorgeous even when you’ve got a cold, Mrs. Burromuerto? It's hard to resist.”

He is prepared to both cook and exquisitely prepare curing recipes to you that are traditional within the Burromuerto family. His mother would cook them for him and his brothers throughout their childhood as effective homemade remedies for their ailments. These family recipes are personal to him, bringing him reminders of moments of comfort throughout a sometimes-competitive childhood. He wants to impress you and actually heal you simultaneously. His delivery of these remedies to you are extravagant, yet personal, and he reassures you that he would never give you anything that would hurt you.

“Ah, mi amor, please don’t resist, I made it special for you. My Mama used to make it for me, it will help you feel better, trust me.”

His protective nature surrounding you comes to light when you’re sick. He is observant and committed to providing you with round the clock care. He is charming in his bedside manners, calculated yet sensitive to your needs. He can read your body language well and adjusts his language and behaviors to correspond with what he sees. He will tease you, but every comment is enclosed in an envelope of passion for your well-being. Getting what can be considered a gentle annoyance out of you to keep things lighthearted and in his control, is something that he may bring about at times.

He will caress your hair, kiss your shoulders and forehead, and embrace you. He remains cautious when he cares for you, as he wants to avoid the likelihood of him getting sick from you to the greatest extent possible, but your comfort comes first regardless. He prides himself on being someone who doesn’t get sick often, viewing it as some sort of advantage that supports his view on himself and his capabilities.

When he caresses your forehead and hair, he locks eyes with you intently. It is intense, but filled with an enormous amount of deep passion, love, and care. His tender worry for you is evident in the way his eyes soften while still maintaining a strong gaze into yours. His eyes connect with yours, providing you with the reassurance that he will always, always, protect you. He soothes you to sleep without any tension, with you feeling deeply safe in his presence.
