rafayel would do the major & little things he can to support you.
from adjusting your pillows just right whenever one of you sleeps over, to giving you massages when you feel only a little sore.
he would often ask you what he can do to help until it's second nature to know what to do before you even say it.
since he likes going out on dates with you, if you decide to cancel, he would immediately respect that and would already have your reservations cancelled in an instant.
if doctors are ever dismissive, heâs your guy.
he would have personal beef with the doctor.
â(s)he looks funny anyway. come on, weâre getting a better doctor.â
if you ever feel like you are a burden, he would clear that thought away from your head in a flash.
would tell you that you're never a burden and that he doesn't want you to feel that way around him or anyone else.
makes you pinky promise you won't think like that again.
*narrows his eyes at you* "swear it."
until he catches your smile and nods, only then does he smile back again and says, "good :)"
with rafayel, feeling bad about your condition is never and will never even be an option.
he makes sure you feel loved, not limited.
sylus sees you as the strongest person and not how you may see yourself.
if you ever feel frustrated about your condition, he just listens.
when it would be time for him to talk, he would say something like:
"what you think are your limits arenât your problem. theyâre only everyone elseâs if they even think they can hold you back."
if you also have POTS, he has you staying hydrated.
mastered casual but intentional help.
like opening doors without making it obvious and handing you something before even you realize you need it.
honestly cute if you think he'd ever let you over work yourself.
has soft-close drawers and doors to reduce strain on joints in both your homes.
in public, if you ever struggle to stand up, he offers a hand or just picks you up, completely unfazed.
if youâre too exhausted to move at home, he just comes next to you and tucks you against his chest while playing with your hair.
and if you feel a certain way about yourself in a moment and let him know:
âitâs tough, i get it. but youâre still tougher.â
a better doctor to you than actual doctors.
after zayne, he is for sure the most patient with mood swings or exhaustion.
caleb totally does a lot of research on how to better be of help to you.
he would ask zayne for help but may take credit by saying:
"i figured since i was readin' about it earlier today :)"
zayne/your primary doctor told him 51% of what he knows.
he tends to assume how you want to be assisted but, in the sense where it's just him doing everything for you... until you tell him you really can do certain things yourself.
he would be a little hurt at that but it's okay. (it's not, he's sad now.)
but from there on, he would start asking you before stepping in to help because he would start to see that you can and would like to do things on your own.
BUT. he's got cooking, cleaning, and carrying things that might strain your joints covered. no matter what you say.
and don't be surprised if you're trying to do something and he just uses his evol to lightly prevent you from doing it.
"nuh uh, i'm not lettin' you do that."
since he's more of a gym baby than the other guys, he would encourage gentle movement/stretching to prevent muscle stiffness. simply as his way of wanting to help and also exercise together. either that or he massages you.
if you use canes, braces or wheelchairs, he would get you ones with stickers, cool designs and even matching accessories.
in your home with him, there would be absolutely no furniture with sharp edges that could cause quick bruising or an injury in sight.
last but not least, caleb would spend his time building & finalizing a mobility aid that helps with your joint pain but also doesn't cause another joint pain in a different part of your body from its use.
caleb would genuinely love you for what you can or can't do.
your condition wouldn't change a thingâitâs just another part of you for him to love.
unlike someone, xavier actually offers his help rather than rushing in head first because he's knows what's up.
he helps with braces, taping, or your compression gear if you use it.
and if you personally don't, he still finds your hypermobility fascinating.
since he likes quality time, he makes sure to balance your hanging out with rest. or just a quiet time quality time.
"letâs just sit for a while. we don't need to talk if you donât want to."
he would totally buy you multiple weighted blankets to use at home and say:
âthis here is the best one, trust me."
and you'd be like "?? and how do you know that?"
because how could he know that? unless he-
"*hesitates* uhh i tested like five... and another five more.â
and lordd he did. he really did. with no shame.
he would help you with repetitive tasks that might cause strain.
like opening jars, carrying groceries, or even typing for long periods. or completing your (home)works that he could.
if you ever cancel plans or need extra rest, this is your man.
althoughhh, he's for sure coming over and sleeping next to you.
would be mindful of how he hugs you when sleeping for that gentle & perfect pressure though.
if you ever feel bad ever, he would say many words of comfort to you like:
âi know itâs hard⌠but iâm here, okay? you donât have to go through it alone."
âitâs okay to be upset. youâre allowed to feel this way, iâm right here to listen.â
"you donât have to be strong all the time. and if you ever forget that, iâll just remind you as much as i have to."
a doctor for a boyfriend? yeah you're in great hands.
his only true focus is on you.
although almost like caleb with the assumptions, zayne has his own tendency to assume how you may be feeling but solely because of patterns he keeps track of that relate to other parts of your health and how he gets your feelings right each time.
with your condition though, he is sure to be mindful to avoid doing that by focusing on asking how you feel instead, at the appropriate times to.
he also makes sure that you eat enough protein to support your muscle health.
most helpful and understanding award goes to him. especially during times where you may have heavy migranes.
since he is your doctor, if you also happen to have POTS, he will make sure to increase your salt intake by the right amount.
he would also keep track of when you last took your meds, as well as remember small details about you that no one else may.
he would be the best at helping you with subluxations/dislocations without panicking if it ever happens.
he knows when to step in and when to step back.
if you feel like you have to explain yourself in ways you feel while next to him, he will hear what you have to say and make sure to validate you all while saying something like:
"you donât have to explain yourselfâi already know, and iâm always going to be here."
