rottmnt characters when you are sick
(gn reader, mentions of vomit)
He is totally so SO calm. He's spent years looking out for his brothers whenever they get sick. Surely a human is no different.
He was wrong. Very wrong.
Humans are different. Difference scares Raph. He panics, not wanting to make your condition any worse.
Raph tiptoes around you. A slight cough or a sniffle is enough to make him worry.
Eventually he pulls himself together. A quick pep-talk in the mirror is enough to convince himself that he can look after you.
He makes sure you are comfortable, checking in every 5 minutes.
“Is there anythin’ Raph can do for ya?”
His tail doesn't stop swishing anxiously until you fall asleep.
If you wake up feeling nauseous, he's quick to help you to the bathroom. Rubbing your back in soothing circles until you've emptied your stomach.
Helps you get comfy again and gets you anything you want, he'll even sit through your favourite movie that he finds annoying.
When you finally recover, he practically melts in relief. Pulling you close with his tail and making you promise to never get sick again.
When he learns you are sick, he practically falls to his knees in despair. All the plans you two had for the day are GONE. RUINED.
“WHYYY PIZZA SUPREME. WHY MUST YOU DO THIS!!”
He's a little overdramatic. Okay. Very overdramatic. Acts as if you are dying and won't leave your side until you are better.
In reality, he's analysing everything. Wracking his brain to decide what he does next. He can deal with injuries. Sickness? Not really his forte.
He employs Mikey to make you soup, he doesn't trust his own cooking to make you feel better.
Watches you eat very carefully, a little too carefully. He's just making sure you don't choke and die in front of him.
Will cuddle up with you and watch whatever you want, although he doesn't insist that you watch Jupiter Jim with him. If you say no, he pouts while putting on whatever you want to watch.
“What do you mean no Jupiter Jim?! There's not a better franchise to watch when you're sick!!!”
If you fall asleep on him, he will stay as still as a statue. His face flushes, a small smile on his face. He's flustered at the fact you feel so comfortable around him.
Also ends up falling asleep but not before taking a few photos for blackmail.
He gets sick afterwards. Karma.
The most prepared for you falling ill. Although, that doesn't mean he's enamoured by the whole situation.
He'll take you to his lab and scan you over, just to make sure it's nothing life threatening.
“Good news. You won't perish. Bad news. You are highly gross and definitely contagious.”
He scuttles around you. Not too close. Not too far. He doesn't want to catch your cold but doesn't want to leave you alone.
Once you're settled and covered in a mountain of blankets, he lets out a sigh of relief.
He is useless if you vomit. But will comfort you afterwards and help you back to your miserable pile on the couch or in bed.
Reminds you to drink water and will always stay on time with medicine.
If you can't sleep, he'll stay nearby and narrate whatever he may be doing. Or he'll explain to you every intricate detail of the turtle tank.
Once you're asleep, he tidies up around you. Fixes your blanket, picks up any trash.
"You're lucky my brothers are even more disgusting even when perfectly healthy..."
He is happy that he could take care of you. Despite how disgusting sick people are. In the future, he shares his hand sanitizer with you to help prevent future sicknesses. Even his brothers don't get that luxury.
Like Leo, he's overdramatic and is convinced that you are dying. It takes all three of his brothers to calm him down.
“YOU'RE SICK?! HOW BAD?! ARE YOU GONNA BE OKAY?!”
Once he's calm, he locks in. Seeing you so miserable makes his heart ache. He knows how yucky being sick can be.
He makes you a little den, collecting all the blankets that he can find. He brings you pillows and teddies. Anything comfortable.
He doesn't miss a single cough, sneeze or sniffle. Rubbing your back or shoulder after each one.
He makes you soup. Any kind you want. He puts his whole heart into it, making sure you enjoy every bite you can manage.
“Little spoonfuls. That's what Raph always says to me!”
He treats you like a delicate flower. Never rushing you, never moving you unless absolutely necessary.
If you throw up, he's right by your side. Pulling your hair back, rubbing your back.
“It's okay. You just gotta let it all out.”
He tucks you back into bed, scootching in beside you. If he gets sick, that's future Mikey's problem.
Mikey pulls out his notebook, going through each page slowly. Explaining to you what all of his little doodles are in an effort to soothe you to sleep.
You both fall asleep together. Curled into each other. Notebook forgotten, blankets strewn across you both. Sickness is a lot more manageable with Mikey around.
She's got it all under control. Totally. She's NOT cracking under pressure and texting Donnie in a panic. NOPE.
After fishing out obvious answers and solutions from Donnie, she feels confident in looking after you.
Medicine. Rest. Liquids. Medicine. Rest. Liquids.
April practically tapes you to the bed. You are not getting up while she's around. Anything you need, she can get.
“Nuh uh. You are staying in this bed! Anything you need I can get. Just stay here and…don't move. April O'Neil's got ya covered.”
She scurries around. Getting you whatever it is you might need. Blankets? She's got them. Glass of water? She's on it.
You two spend a lot of time watching movies. April comments quietly on her favourite parts.
April makes you soup. Just a simple one out of a can. She doesn't have Mikey to help her out.
She panics when you get queasy, rushing you to the bathroom. She loves you, but not enough to let you puke on her good duvet.
Once you feel a bit better, she helps you sip some water and get comfy again. Soon enough, you fall asleep. April isn't far behind.
Looking after someone really takes it out of a girl. Phew.
