a/n: first post~ i got carried away hahahahhaa
it all starts with a phone call
âhey yuta, iâm sick and dyingâ
his heart starts racing in his chest
he legit needs to put a hand over his heart in attempts to calm it
âwhat do you mean?? youâre just being dramatic right???â
cue you having a coughing fit right at that moment
ânope, okay!! never fear, your handsome boyfriend is on the way!!â
he would hang up right away
and off he goes with preparations
a reusable bag filled with many things
a change of clothes for himself
and lots of ingredients for chicken rice porridge
since thatâs what he ate when he was sick as a child
also lots of chamomile tea to help you sleep
heâs not in that much of a rush though
he knows you can take care of yourself no problem
but itâs the extra love and care from another that helps you heal faster
he gets it from johnny when heâs sick so he knows
but also gets roasted like marshmallows over a bonfire in the process
when he arrives, he knocks on the door
anxiously tapping his foot against the carpet on the floor of the apartment
but obviously you brace yourself as you open the door all wrapped up in your favourite blanket
one thing to keep in mind is that this boy will baby you to no ends if youâre sick on his watch
he loves you so much and just wants you to feel better
so yuta will make sure you get better and donât suffer anymore
as soon as you open the door, he rushes inside
he wears a mask on his face not to catch any germs that he could spread to the dorms
which would just mean every single nct member would catch a cold
what a caring boy oh my god <3
which you stripped the blankets from to answer the door
he takes your blankets in his hands
âgo lie downâ he instructs
and you donât have the energy to argue at all
do you just plop down, face first on the bed
one at a time, he places the blankets on you
heâs so soft and gentle in the process of helping you feel better
heâll go to leave after tucking you in a little
but feels bad as soon as he looks back at your lonely figure from the door frame
yuta canât help himself but climb in with you
and hold you so gently while he falls asleep next to your tucked in figure
itâs to the point that you have to wake him up weakly
he springs alive though!!!
nearly falling off the bed in the process
âoh my god, do you need something?â
he asks, as he adjusts his mask once more
and you just look over at him
shaking your head as you fall back on the bed
he canât help but smile
going off to the kitchen to begin making a meal for you
which would be rice porridge made with chicken broth instead of just water
it was what he had when he was sick as a child and remembers the taste fondly
so he prepared the ingredients and put the chicken into the pot of water to let it boil for a little while
as it did, he filled up a bowl with ice and water
he takes a small facial cloth from your closet and heads back to your bedroom
where your sleeping form laid peacefully
he takes your desk chair and sets it beside the bed carefully and quietly
and places the facial cloth within the cold water and wrings it out shortly after
he places it on your forehead slowly
seeing you relax as your forehead is cooled makes him feel a little more confident that heâs doing a decent job
he keeps doing this during the next twenty minutes while youâre asleep before deciding to wake you up at around the half hour mark so you could take some medicine he prepared for you
âyutaaa, my throat hurtsâ
âhere,â he says while handing you a glass of water after you sat up on the plush of your bed
he smiles as you take a few small sips, before holding your hand out for the two small but dreaded pills that need to go down your throat
yuta sets them in your hand after taking them out of the bottle for you
you take one, drown it with water
then do the same for the other
âcan i sleep again?â you ask, looking over to the time cautiously
he nods, helping you lie down again
shortly after you fall asleep, he goes back to the kitchen to continue cooking the simple meal, there being more than enough for you to eat even the following day
once that was finished, he waited in the living room
watching TV while lounging on the couch
texting some of the members about their adventures
until about an hour later when you immerse from your room
blankets still wrapped around you
but instead of looking lifeless like you did before
you seemed more awake now
âhow are you feeling?â he asks simply, a smile on his face as he leans forward to put his phone down
âiâm doing a lot better, thanks to you.. even a little hungry,â you say while patting your belly childishly
it was incredibly endearing to him so
yutaâs sweet laughter escaped his lips as he was unable to keep his admiration down
but from then on, he gets up and ladles you some porridge
âi should feed you!â he exclaims
and you shake your head wildly
as you swipe the bowl from him and take a spoon for yourself
he canât help his laughter as you begin to eat slowly at your dining room table
instead of making a complaint about how he should be taking care of you
the tall boy sits down with you there
a smile as bright as the sun underneath the mask he wore
there was a comfortable silence over the two of you as you ate
you give the bowl to him when youâre finished, wandering back to your bedroom now
to hopefully sleep more and get better by morning!!
after doing the dishes, putting away the porridge and changing his clothes
he pulls out a blanket from your closet in the hallway before falling asleep on the couch
the bright sun woke him up the next morning
a look of confusion washed over his expression as he smells eggs and bacon
and hears the sound of frying
âoh!! y/n, youâre feeling better!!â
the exclamation is incredibly excited as he runs (like a chicken bc morning legs are wobbly) to the kitchen
he gives you the biggest hug from the back, and a kiss on the cheek, despite the mask
you smile, looking up to him
âiâm not 100%, but iâm functioning normally again thanks to youâ
he smiles brightly as he removes the mask to press another kiss to your cheek
love really is the best medicine after all
