something happens to where kit has to spend time in some kinda game hospital and kaboodle is STRESSING TF OUT over it because what if she dies!?!? so gobbles has to comfort him
kinda a similar flavor to the seperation anxeity thing, just slightly worse in a way :)
I love making the lives of my blorbos slightly worse!!
This is under the assumption that healing items are finite, and that Kit has run out of her own brand.
I feel like if Kit suffered an injury that wasn't fatal but still sucked, like, say, a broken arm, Kaboodle would be like "walk it off, we gotta get a move on" and try to smother his own worry for her (worry doesn't fix the problem), but would silently do a bunch of nice things like take over her jobs, get her a hot cocoa, etc. He'd verbally be cold because inside he's incredibly nervous and worried, but does the small things for her.
Now, if it was something like a head injury, back injury, or a lotta blood, he can't smother THAT much worry. He's pacing. He's cussing out whatever or whoever did it (if she fell off a high ledge onto the ground, he's cussing out the sidewalk). His mind is hard at work catastrophizing. He could not be pried away from the hospital room she's in with a crowbar.
Gobbles is nervous too because Kit is one of his best friends and he's never had a person close to him get so badly hurt before, and fiddles with his tie to the point he accidentally bound a few fingers in it. Still, watching the normally unbothered Kaboodle pacing around just feels wrong. Plus, the more Kaboodle rants and raves, the worse Gobbles' nerves get.
"Kaboodle?" "WHAT?!" "C-Could you, um, sit down?" "Sit down?! At a time like this?! Kit might DIE and we're doing NOTHING about it!"
Gobbles is startled at this but carefully reminds Kaboodle that the doctor (who is a weird slithery blue creature, but very trustworthy) said she'll make it. It seems the idea of Kit dying just came from Kaboodle's panicked head. Realizing this, Gobbles slowly coaxes Kaboodle down to a chair next to his own. The robot is still huffing and kicking a leg back and forth. Gobbles gently grabs his hand (and tries not to shake, because he's still scared himself) and simply says that it'll work out somehow (he doesn't know when, but making Kaboodle feel at peace takes higher priority than his own anxieties). The best thing they can do is try to keep strong for when she opens her eyes again.
Kaboodle scoffs lightly, but it seems to shut his panicking down a good amount. His claw rubs Gobbles' hand a little, absentmindedly. To fill the silence between them, Gobbles anxiously goes through his favorite puns and plays on words, while Kaboodle tiredly tries not to smile.
Kit wakes up the next day to them sleeping and leaning on each other.
