The Bayverse family reacting to you getting sick
you pushed yourself a little too much during a horrible sickness, resulting in you being very ill. How will the turtles+ Splinter react to that?!
///Warnings///
None. Just some fluff and worried mutants 💕

Leonardo
Leo is heading to your location as soon as he learns that you are ill. He doesn't panic; instead, he remains composed. He notices you by the time you leave your window open. You appear to have just woken up from a nap, yet you are wearing old clothing and are really tired. He notes that you are pale and that you most likely haven't eaten. He first "believes" you when you say you're okay, but then he notices that you're stumbling a little as you get up.
“Yeah, you’re staying there, you’re not going anywhere.”
He would ever so gently push you down to your couch.
The moment you finally admit your stomach hurts, he’s already getting you water. He would want you to avoid eating anything solid just yet, so, for now, some soups and warm drinks will surely help you out.
He would start out by making you some tea (I'd think he would be the kind of guy who makes tea blends). He would give it to you carefully, making sure the temp was set so you wouldn't burn your tongue.
And boy, he is trying.
He is a simple man; he found some of your leftovers to make a complete meal. He offered to feed your food; he knows you are able, but he doesn't want your body to use so much energy just to eat (he's a man of service).
In reality, helping you out is calming him down; deep inside, he's worried. Like previously mentioned, he does like seeing you this way.
Later on, he would advise you to shower. He would give you some essential oils going around, maybe eucalyptus and peppermint.
The oils bring you to a good state, and you take your time.
While you are taking your shower, he waits outside the door, trying not to hover. He wouldn't really know what to do; he just wants you to feel better and to have the best treatment while you are sick.
At the end of your shower, Leo would get you a heating pad just in case. Fluffed up your pillows and made sure that your room isn't too hot or too cold. In your nightstand, he placed a water bottle with some Tylenol, some honey lavender cough drops. He only wants the best for you and for you to stay in bed the next day.
Raphael
In simple words,
Raph is a disaster. Not because he doesn’t know what to do. Because he hates seeing you suffer. The second you mention your stomach feels weird, he starts keeping an eye on you. Then you throw up. And suddenly, he’s following you around like an angry guard dog. He's been sick before, but this is the first time he's seen you sick.
As mutants, it's not that far from when humans get sick, but you are his partner.
He is able to take care of himself, not wanting to “bother” anyone when he’s not well. When Raph gets sick, he would not want to be around anyone. But him, he isn't just anyone. You want to see him, You let him in, so now he's going to continue his boyfriend duties.
In sickness or in health, they say. Raphael is one who will get you through this. He’s your boyfriend after all.
So Raph gets to work. He wants you to lie down, and whatever you need, he will go and get it for you.
But the problem is, you are trying to convince him that you are fine.
You ain't fine, he already told himself.
“You’re sick.”
“No kidding.”
“No, like sick-sick.”
He keeps trying to convince you to lie down. When you refuse, he physically picks you up. You could protest all you want. It won’t matter.
“Raph sweetie, put me down.”
“No.”
“Raph.”
“Nah.”
He’s soft with you. Do not get it twisted. Raphie is a teddy bear. A very big teddy bear. He will tenderly wrap blankets around you.
Bringing water. Checking on you every five minutes.Pretending he isn’t worried sick. He's asking his family what he should do, while Donnie and Mikey (he butt himself in when he overheard that you are sick) are trying to get a word in with him because he's practically talking gibberish. He got the basics down. What else do you need? Short answer: everything.
Raph would end up with a mountain of supplies. Some medicine to help you out with your stomach, a lot of water, and some chicken noodle soup(Raph would have soup when he's sick (it comforts him and around the home, Mikey is the one who makes it) and he thought you would like it, maybe it'll do the same for you).
This man would cuddle you, even if he got sick afterwards. What you need, he will do his best for you.
Donatello
Donnie enters Problem Solving Mode™.
You called him asking what would one do if they are feeling sick. Donnie already put that together and he’s on his way to your room.
When you said your head hurts, he’s already asking questions.
“When did symptoms begin?”
“Donnie—”
“Any fever?”
“Donnie.”
“Scale of one to ten?”
“Donnie!”
He means well.
He’s just panicking. Because the results aren't coming right away.
He would want to know what's the fastest and most effective way to make you feel better.
When the nausea becomes severe, his concern starts showing through the logical facade.
Especially if he sees you curled up on the couch looking miserable.
He would bring some hot water to a pot, put some essential oils, and have you put your face over the pot to absorb the steam when the water would boil. He would leave you there for a few minutes.
When you are done, he's taking you straight to your bed.
According to him, you are not leaving your room.
You aren't going anywhere.
Pillows, just the right amount to have you up and comfy. Lights off, to help you be comfy. Phone is already charging and on dnd.
He'll put on a movie for you to watch and he'll clean your room, just to make sure there aren't any germs of any kind that will get you sick.
When he is done, he’ll sit beside you and quietly hand over water.
If you say something, he's just to repeat it for you, no matter how many times hell repeat it.
No lectures.
No statistics.
Just a soft,
“Hey. Small sips, okay?”
Which of course is Donnie’s way of showing you that 1 he loves you, and 2 that with science you can heal your partner's sickness.
Michelangelo
Mikey becomes your emotional support turtle.
The moment you say you’re sick, he drops everything. He knows that nobody likes being sick.
Need a blanket?
He’s got one.
Need water?
Already there.
Need somebody to complain to?
He’s listening.
When you start feeling guilty for ruining plans, Mikey immediately shakes his head.
“None of that.”
“But—”
“Nope.”
You could be sweaty, exhausted, grumpy, and throwing up every hour.
He wouldn’t care.
The only thing he’d be focused on is helping you feel a little better.
HE WOULD MAKE FOOD FOR YOU!!!!!
He knows the best stuff when his family is sick, so he's got the goods.
He would give some rice and his famous Chicken noddle soup.
You tearing up because the food was the best thing had all week.
Mikey, not knowing what to say, starts comforting you.
Now you are in an emotional state because you’re crying because you feel awful, he’d sit beside you and rub your back. telling you that it's alright and to make you feel better when he would get sick, he would tell you that mucous would fly out of his mouth when he would cough.
You definitely stopped crying after that. After that confession, Mikey would still comfort you, rub your feet, and massage your scalp.
“I know. This sucks.”
"We will get through this together; this will make us even stronger."
And somehow that simple understanding makes you feel less alone.
Splinter
Splinter immediately switches into caretaker mode.
The same mode he used when his sons were young.
The second he learns you’re ill, he checks on you personally.
He notices the signs right away.
Your tired eyes.
The way you’re curled up.
The way you’re trying to act stronger than you feel.
“You do not need to pretend before us.”
And honestly?
That might be what breaks you.
Because sometimes being sick is exhausting.
Not just physically.
Emotionally too.
Splinter would encourage you to rest and remind the others not to overwhelm you.
If he finds you trying to get up and do things despite clearly feeling awful, he gently guides you back to bed.
“Recovery is your responsibility today.”
No arguments.
No negotiations.
