Sadly I don't have much by my side 💦

Yeehaw! Week 3 with Rookruggie, and this promp was made for them, so many ideas but here's a gist

Right? Ruggie not even realizing he's mimicking Rook's until Leona notices and just 'Alright, you've been spending too much time with the hunter weirdo. Please stop.' Vil finds it oddly adorable and has his suspicions that they're together. Jack just both finds it weird and hilarious just because it bothers Leona so much.

Putting a hand on his stomach, Ruggie wiped his mouth with his free fist, breathing heavily. He was out the side of the building, having just projectile vomited his lunch onto the grass. He didn’t want to stink up the bathroom inside the building with his puke, and surely nobody would notice. He just said he needed to get some fresh air, but it had been like this for a week now. Telling Rook he needed to go for a walk and get some air, simply because he didn’t want him knowing he was sick, and sneaking behind a bush on the side of the building to empty out whatever food he had managed to eat.

Heaving once more, Ruggie tried to hold back, whining softly. He just needed to keep the rest down, and go back inside, and pretend to have only walked around the building. He had done this every few hours the past few days he had been spending the night, and he couldn’t help it! He wasn’t sure just what his issue was, but he wasn't sure he could afford to go see a doctor for it if it kept up..

When the nausea finally let up, Ruggie ran a hand through his hair with a sigh. He just had to go back inside and pretend it never happened, just like he had the other times! So, Ruggie jogged back inside, going up to Rook’s apartment. When he got inside, he gently closed to door, only to be met with concerned eyes.

“You know, you’re allowed to throw up in the bathroom..” He said, trying to say it softly. Ruggie just stared, terrified, thinking he had been sneaky about it. “You’re even doing it at night, mon amour, are you sleeping well..? What’s wrong..?”

Ruggie wasn’t sure how to respond, sighing. “I don’t know, I just can’t keep much of anything down. On top of that, I’ve been dizzy, too.. It’s been a week, but I can’t afford a doctors visit, so I’m hoping it goes away..”

Still just as concerned, Rook stood up from the couch and walked over, placing the back of his hand on ruggie’s forehead. “You don’t feel warm, I don’t think there’s a fever..” He led Ruggie to the couch, having him sit down. “Ok! I’ll run to the shop and get something to make that’ll be easy to hold down, ok? Stay put, and please, if you aren’t well, feel free to use my bathroom..”

The hyena nodded, holding himself in a ball. Rook was back in less than an hour, and was straight to the kitchen, Ruggie napping on the couch. When he woke up, Rook was gently nudging him, asking if he could eat. He supposed he could try, and just as he was sat up, Rook slipped something into his hand. At first, Ruggie thought maybe it was a utensil, but his eyes widened the moment he looked down. “No..” He shook his head, this was the last thing he would do. Rook looked completely serious, saying he had seen some of his friends with the same issues, and it wasn’t off the table.

He only agreed to do it after he was allowed to eat, and Rook let it go for now. He watched Ruggie eat, reminding him to take it slow, and to not push himself too hard. Ruggie would just glare at him and remind him there was nothing on that test yet, so stop being so cautious.

His food was finished, and suddenly, Ruggie felt nervous, his ears pinning back. He didn’t want to take the test, actually, he wanted to pour himself a large glass of wine and try to forget this was even suggested. But Rook was holding his hand the whole time they waited, telling him things would turn out fine no matter what. But that was the issue, wasn’t it? Ruggie was in no way ready for this responsibility! He didn’t live in a good neighbourhood, his pay wasn’t great, he could barely even feed himself.

The moment the timer went off, Ruggie buried his face in his hands and told Rook to say it aloud when he saw it. The blonde obliged, standing up and going to look. Ruggie could barely stand the silence, so he peeked between his fingers, only to see Rook staring down at the test with wide eyes. That’s when he started to panic.

“No, no! I can’t be pregnant, no way!” He cried, curling up in a ball. “I can’t do this, what the hell am I supposed to do?!” Rook came back over, giving his boyfriend a hug. “I hate you, why did you have to not wear a condom..”

the "let them have a happy ending" immediately followed by "they should kill each other" for malleus and silver is a pattern i've just noticed in my otps (including platonic apparently) i've also always wanted a doomed siblingism of my own
