Between burn out and lack of time, I am gonna sparknote some stuff-
Havest sickfic - Farmers Market Polycule edition
Harvest was a rush job as far as robots go - and as a result, I like to think that his antivirus software is actually pretty damn awful. Like... yeah, Mars updates him pretty frequently, but his system struggles HARD to run it... as a result.... immunocompromised Harvest hours hehehehehe
He has the idea that he can power through a lot of things, and honestly? Yeah, he kind of can, but he feels AWFUL and it lasts way longer that way. Overall, he has no frame of reference beyond "oh this is a typical experience - wait what do you mean none of you do that??"
it only comes up when Mars and Chico are doing some minor repairs on him. Chico notes his fans are running a bit higher than usual, systems running warm, and Mars checks just to go "Oh shit he has a mild virus.... Wait a minute-"
Basically Harvest is more prone to viruses and if they do hit, they have a higher chance of hitting him HARD. He needs to take extra precautions with it, as well as get periodic antivirus updates. He's... doing his best to come around to it
THIS LEADS INTO....
Chico and Earth are the only ones he will admit to being unwell to (unless it's actually pretty bad, which is its own whole thing)
When Harvest is sick, Earth and Chico will tuck him up and damn near swaddle him in blankets. He claims to hate it but actions speak louder than words.
Earth's room is the go-to when he's not doing great, bc she can lock it off as needed and people rarely go in there. A few times, Harvest took up a spot in Chico's room, but the frequent snack raids make it difficult to relax.
Lady ALWAYS without fail will take Harvest Guard Duty VERY seriously - if he gets tucked into the bed bc he's sick, she's dragging a small toy over and laying with him. She will get up for food, water, litterbox, and the occasional parole, but otherwise, she is THERE and she is STARING if anyone dares come in. ((Earth has several pictures of them cuddling in her bed and she refuses to delete them. Chico has one in particular of Harvest in one of Chico's old shirts and Lady somehow wedged her way up the shirt to poke her head out the neckhole, both fast asleep in Earth's bed))
When sick, Harvest rarely feels up to eating - as a result, Earth and Chico have certain drinks they'll make, ranging from teas to broths to the occasional time Chico makes caspiroleta
Earth sometimes will scoop Harvest up and carry him around if he's dizzy, weak or otherwise struggling. She's a little more frequently the one to do so, but Chico will also not hesitate to do the same. Harvest feigns exasperation more often than not, but he also tellingly never tries to get down... and sometimes will lean into it
Harvest is a clothes thief. This is canon to my heart and soul. Usually it's for his nest-bed, but when he's feeling particularly bad, he'll wear Earth or Chico's clothes as a comfort thing. He will never admit to it unless he's half asleep in their arms and tucked up like a sassy, spicy little peanut.
Earth is a little bit better at ready Harvest's tells if he's not feeling too great but Chico is a bit better at getting him to actually rest
one time, Roxas came down with a mild virus and didn't take proper precautions until it had already spread a bit. Overall, not an awful, it hit most of them like a mild cold, but it nearly knocked Harvest on his ass. One would think Earth would be the scariest one to face.... Roxas now knows it is Chico.
And a bonus scenario to grow on:
Folly shows up for a sparring match during one of Harvest's sick days. She has no idea of the situation. Nobody else knows she arrived.
Chico goes to check on Harv part way through the day to find the twins both curled up, asleep, and Lady perched at the head of the bed like a cute, fluffy gargoyle.
He absolutely sends a picture to Earth.
