Flu Season
mini fic - MorningGrimBek
Frost is not a human, he shouldn’t be able to get human illnesses. But here he was. Shivering, running nose, and coughing. The feywild wasn’t cold in the winter like Avantris, but it was cold season.
Of course Gricko had already noticed and told Torbek. Both were now watching him like hawks.
Frost wouldn’t admit he needed to rest, and resisted every attempt at getting him to. But a wave of dizziness and nausea hit him like a hex and Frost passed out.
So of course Hootsie and Torbek haul Frost to bed while Gricko mutters something about his all knowing father and husband mind while getting his healing herbs and medicine handy.
Bananyuhs are only helpful if you can keep them down. So it’s broth, and soup (with noodles cause Torbek insisted they make you feel better) from the kitchen of a very upset alligator that he was dragged away from his man-heater.
While Frost rested he had a dream, which he knew was a dream. Probably due to the fact that Torbek was clean and had nice clothes that fit him well. Or it could be that the whole world was inverted colors. who really knows? But he dreamed that he, Gricko and Torbek finally got married. Not that it was his idea but Gricko preferred the word Husband to boyfriend or partner and Torbek liked the idea that the didn’t ever want to get rid of him (and that it would be WAYYYY harder to get rid of him then). Frost agreed on the conditions that they all got to pick a ring for each other and they all had to write their own vows.
It was strange but sweet, the inverted Gid acted as their officiant and Hootsie and twig were the flower girls. leaving inverted Kremy to be the ring barer. And although everything got fuzzy after his vows he slept soundly through it.
Gricko finally got the right mix made to get some bananyuh in the soup kremy was preparing. And Torbek was Frost’s heated pillow. Frost napping, while Torbek counted his stripes, scratched behind his ears and told Frost stories that could be real from a certain point of view.
Within a couple days, the Krew was fully functional, Gricko crammed so many vitamins and supplements into them that they likely wouldn’t get sick again for a long longwhile.
Frost kept the idea of rings running around in his head, just for future reference
