SICKIE

• energy goes from 100 to 0 quick

• he’s okay one moment the next he’s dying

• he can’t hide it because everyone notices when changbin isn’t changbining

• able to work through it most times

• doesn’t mean to push himself to the limit but working usually distracts him from the problem

• bad at realising when his body is on the verge of giving out 

• and bad at realising he’s sick in the first place

• doesn’t hide it but he tries to be reassuring or crack a joke here and there

• likes company

• feels kinda bad about the maknae line seeing him sick but logically knows they’re not babies and it’s fine — and it’s fun to have i.n finally accept his affection

• ‘it’s okay, i just feel bad’ in a quiet voice with a tired smile that’s just sad

• either that or he sulks — if he’s being a baby about it, you don’t have to worry

• mostly won’t cuddle someone other than resting his head on them because he doesn’t have the energy to, but does want physical contact. cuddle him even if he doesn’t cuddle you.

• shy about being picked up but he likes it

• a lot of the time he’s just laying down with his eyes closed, so the members think he’s asleep

• ‘he doesn’t look good, he’s real-’ ‘i’m awake.’

• not scared of taking pills. in fact, he’ll take anything that looks right

FEVERS

• pale face with flushed cheeks that give it away

• that’s usually the only way he can tell he’s getting a fever

• his temperature changes a lot during the day, and with it his will to live

• more distracted than usual

• he zones out mid conversation if he even has one, because he doesn’t have the motivation to talk to people

• he never knows if he wants to be alone, sleep or be with someone

• body aches, so felix now has an excuse to knead his muscles

• dizzy baby. he will always try to be with someone if he feels that he’s about to pass out because he hates it so much

• stays unconscious for a longer time than the others, but everyone is used to it now

• super out of it when he comes back to his senses, looks around like a lost kid in the supermarket and panics if no one is there

• emotional when his fever is high and after passing out

• weird jokes come to his mind

• wakes up from discomfort more than from nightmares

• likes someone hugging him when he gets chills

• one moment he’s freezing and the next he doesn’t want anything warmer than ice touching him

• melts when someone checks his fever with a hand on his forehead or cheek. he leans into the touch and the others find it so cute and sad

• totally unfocused, will run into anything that’s in his path

• so he likes it when the members have an arm around his shoulders or hold his hand while walking

STOMACH BUG / PAIN

• really strong stomach 

• only exception is his tummy does get upset if he eats too much while tired or right before going to the gym

• can count on one hand the amount of times he’s had a stomach bug or food poisoning

• since his stomach doesn’t hurt often he doesn’t handle it all that well when it starts bothering him

• spends a long time being nauseous before actually throwing up, and sometimes he can’t 

• but he’s afraid he’ll feel more sick once he leaves the bathroom so he just stays there on the floor

• the type to spend the night curled up on the cold tiles in front of the toilet or the bathtub with a blanket and a pillow. it’s so sad.

• absolutely can’t stand being anywhere far from the bathroom if he’s nauseous, which is like 80% of the time when he has a bug

• finds it hard to sleep when his stomach hurts because he worries he’ll wake up queasy

• likes to have someone with him because nausea drains him out and makes him feel shaky

• he just really hates the feeling of being sick or like he’s going to be

• isn’t emetophobic but the whole ordeal is just exhausting and really uncomfortable for him, so he’ll do a lot to prevent getting to that point

• which is why he also finds it hard to eat when his stomach feels sick

• luckily he rarely gets fevers with stomach bugs, because then he always gets dehydrated and since he’s scared to eat or drink anything he ends up on an IV

• has definitely upset his stomach before by overworking in the gym, and then it just feels sore the whole day

• also, protein shakes are either a hit or miss, and he found himself throwing up in the gym’s bathroom once. since then, he’s really careful with the ones he buys and changes as little as possible 

COLD / FLU

• has had the flu like two times and it was terrible

• the fever was so bad it looked like he was high on something, kinda accurate considering the amount of painkillers and stuff the members gave him

• he spent the whole time coughing up phlegm to the point of upsetting his stomach 

• and if nausea is normally unpleasant, imagine when he couldn’t even take deep breaths to settle it

• he’d been really panicky because his chest felt heavy and like he couldn’t take a full breath in, so he was always next to someone 

• didn’t dare to sleep laying down. he was propped up on several pillows

• cried a lot then got shy about it once he was better

• for colds, he gets them more often

• with varying fever, but not delirium inducing like the flu

• his nose gets kinda stuffy and though he’s not exactly congested, he gets this annoying pressure between his eyebrows

• which equals headaches

• so he just lays his head on someone’s lap and lets them play with his hair

• since there’s really not much to do about it, he tries to sleep through it

CARETAKER

• i love him

• the best person ever

• caring, funny, gives sickie space or hugs whenever he feels like they need it

• he’s really perceptive so he easily reads everyone’s moods

• probably the first to notice when one of the boys is sick

• cuddles and puns are his quick fix

• not squeamish at all and really really strong (as you can tell by looking at his arms 💕) 

• also great with emotions

• so one can throw up and faint and cry peacefully in his presence

• has a very reassuring aura

• he just steps into the room and sickie immediately feels safer

• has such a good way of adapting to the sickie’s needs that he’s probably the only one that has never been pushed away

i love him sm you don’t understand 😭 like he’s so perfect and pretty and everything

↳ After the first, rather violent, meeting you both had at the start of your adventures. You chalked the parties vampire spawn's forwardness to him trying to be more friendly to you

↳ You were also quite the flirt of the group yourself- the sarcasm and playfulness of it was a driving factor to your sense of humor towards the camp

↳ Needless to say that if the opportunity arose to spark a comment- you were doing your best lighten the mood and your friends spirits when the world appears to be coming to an end as the team leader

↳ Astarion of course is jealous over the fact that no matter what, you flirted with everyone no matter how dire the situation, place or time. That was supposed to be his thing- or rather his thing with you...

↳ Whatever was this thing with you? Astarion always questions himself- why do you respond and make him blush so heavily against his pale skin, make him shuffle his ruffled collar, yet you never take that confidence of yours to take the next step- did you even want to take the next step- did you even know?

↳ These questions annoyed the vampires spawn so much so that he started to become quite the storm-cloud of the group. Scowl on his face and a bit more violent in battle than usual- almost as if to capture your attention

↳ Oh course he still flirted with you, claiming that the blush on your cheeks was merely a form of revenge to the strings played across his heart- or so he thought...

↳ You were overjoyed that Astarion was always willing to make a rebuttal against your words- it was nice to have someone lightening your day instead of always being the one to do it for everyone else. But that is just what you thought- he was just repaying the favour from the group, so you kept ignoring the growing feelings you had for the pale elf

↳ Eventually, Astarion has had enough of this toying over the line and becomes quite blunt with his flirtations- he uses pet-names in replace of your actual name almost everytime, sits beside you during communal dinners and fights back to back with you. He openly talks about all the night pleasures that could be offered- trying his best to find out what will make you finally understand

↳ Yet you just smile widely, make a joke comment in response before trying someone else from the group into conversation as the elf sighs out dramatically and storms away

↳ You were beginning to grow confused and increasingly worried about Astarions apparent annoyance towards you. The jokes that bonded the two of you throughout your travels were becoming lesser as were the parties willingness to hear your jokes towards them as well- you were despreate to find answers now

↳ Everyone in the camp was sick of your antics, they ended up refusing to respond to your flirtatious comments after receiving the ever-growing glares and side comments from the vampire spawn- they were tired of your cat-and-mouse game

↳ So one night Shadowheart and Wyll have pulled you into a tent and said that you were going on a date (much to your confusion) as they hurriedly prepared you and practically threw you back out

↳ You notice Astarion staring at you in what appeared to be shock as you ask who your date was and made a flirtatious (joking) comment that if that date was him

↳ The shocked face that you pull in return when he laughs loudly into the night sky only to look back and replay with a dramatic yes, yet you feel overwhelmingly relieved as does Astarion when you accept to go out together

↳ "I hope you know, my love..." Astarion trails off as you both are walking back from your date, smiles across both of your faces in the moonlight
