Season 4 Episode 7

hewwo!!! I shall not attempt to disclose your identity by identifying you heheee but yes fuck school we can all do it!!! (also you JUST had to request Mitchell for the heck of it did u)

[Nakahara Chuuya]

- Chuuya, no matter what happens, views his partner/ S/O as his first and foremost priority. Regardless of what sickness you were suffering from, how bad it is or how mild it is, he rushes to your side, even if he was at Port Mafia in an executives' meeting. Yes, he will use his ability to fly home if that meant seeing you as quickly as possible.

- If it was just a cold or something mild (though seriously, who knows during COVID), he tells you to stay home and you're subjected to his constant attention. Chuuya lets himself be ordered around, bringing soup, ice cream, or whatever cold liquids may ease your dry throat. He asks for documents to be sent home, and sets up camp by your bed, waking up earlier than you to make sure you aren't being neglected, and sleeping later just to make sure. This basically means he doesn't get much sleep.

- If you wheedle him for stuff, stuff that's bad for your health, his resolve will waver, but he'll stand firm because your health matters the most. However, if you try harder, pulling all the stops such as the puppy eyes or the compliments, Chuuya may compromise. If you continue at it for like, oh, five minutes, then you'd definitely get what you want. Be reasonable though, if you get too demanding and ask for the moon it may very well have the opposite effect. Chuuya knows his boundaries and he pampers you because he chooses to, not because he's your servant.

- If it was something serious, however, Chuuya knows the extent of his resources and will employ whatever means necessary to heal you. He makes sure you're surrounded by the best doctors, the best medical equipment and hospitals money could offer. Nothing would prove too expensive for him if it meant healing you.

- If you had to stay in a hospital, Chuuya will be there for you. If you had to undergo surgery, he'll wait for you. Chuuya doesn't care how long it takes, he'll wait for you as long as he needs to. He knew how hard it was to suffer alone, and he sure as hell wouldn't leave you alone to it. If the doctors keep him out, he'll find alternative ways to send you his love.

[Edogawa Ranpo]

- At the beginning, when you tell Ranpo you're sick, or when you let out a cough or two, he doesn't really believe you, thinking it was a prank of sorts. 'Trying to trick the great detective huh? Not bad!' Jokingly, he tells you that sweets are the only prescription you need, dumping a generous amount onto your desk before plopping away.

- When it became apparent that you may be actually sick though, Ranpo turns serious. If it was a cold or something, he'd still joke around, though you'll notice his heart wasn't really into it as he accompanied your bedside. He keeps it up though, for your sake, and continue pattering about on his nonsense until you start laughing.

- If it was a wound or physical wound that could be patched up quickly (if you could call that being sick), Ranpo doesn't even bat an eye because he knows that nothing couldn't be fixed without a trip to Yosano sensei's. Or at least, that's what he claims. Secretly he sneaks off to the operation room when everyone else was occupied with god knows whatever, and watches you get plowed away by Yosano's. Hopefully his company makes it less terrifying.

- In the case of you being seriously ill with fatal illnesses, Ranpo gets you to the hospital as quickly as possible. We'd seen that he keeps his calm in dire situations, acting as an able commander in place of Fukuzawa during the Cannibalism Arc, and telling Kunikida to get a grip when he panicked. Ranpo does the same when bringing you to the hospital. He isn't really good at emotional advice, though he tries his best. Ranpo does know about sugarcoating though, and he gives you the most optimistic rundown of your illness as an attempt to comfort you.

- Ranpo acts strong around you, but once he's by himself his facade crumbles. At the middle of the night, he clasps your hand tightly, praying that you wouldn't slip away at the end of the night, leaving him along without anyone to trust. Or he kisses you gently, though it was more for his sake than for yours. Yosano has to directly go to him and figuratively pry him off you so he could get some rest.

[Margaret Mitchell]

- Mitchell doesn't...have much experience taking care of other people. Mainly since she came from a fairly affluent family before it fell from honour, but also because as a key fighter of The Guild, it certainly didn't fall to her to take care of such trivial matters.

- But of course, as her partner you are a special exception. So when you fall ill with a cough or a fever, she braces herself, hitches her skirts and goes about it without a complaint. For whomever she loves, Mitchell will do anything for them. She would still shy away from stuff too revolting for her (I headcanon her as having a weak stomach) like bodily fluids, but she can do things like changing a cool towel on your forehead to ease your fever.

- Mitchell will absolutely not admit to caring for you. She wouldn't throw you under the bus exactly, but she'll deny anything and everything that even hints at her being so soft over her partner. It marrs her reputation, and she has a front to keep. Not just because she's a woman but also on behalf of her family as well. However, she'll quietly consult Hawthorne if there's things she doesn't know. Hawthorne is the only one she trusts, after all.

- If it was a serious sickness beyond your everyday healing, Mitchell would square her shoulders, march off for another opinion, before coming to terms that it was something beyond her abilities. She isn't below begging or asking for help when the situation calls for it, and though she may struggle with her pride, Mitchell will push it down for you. She marches off to Fitzgerald and employs all sorts of methods to make him help you, and she doesn't leave until he agrees. Her reputation as a determined woman didn't come out of nowhere, after all.
