Sick/Injured Fic + Love Confessor (Character A confessing their love for Character B to Character C)
ooo this is a classic isn’t it? let’s turn it into a roommate au
willie and alex are dorm mates which is not so great for alex considering the fact that he has a giant crush on him. and he’d never tell willie despite knowing that willie’s also into guys because what if that upsets their whole dynamic?? no, he’s better off just keeping his pining to himself and strategically looking away whenever willie does something particularly attractive.
but one day he gets sick. not just sniffles and a sneeze sick, he gets bedridden sick. the kind of cough that makes it feel like you’re gonna hack up a lung (okay so maybe it’s just the flu but alex is known for being dramatic when he’s ill).
willie gets home from his art history class and sees alex caterpillared up in his sheets, laptop on his stomach, pitifully watching old episodes of the powerpuff girls and feeling sorry for himself. he’s just so cute.
he offers to stay in for the night and nurse alex to health and he doesn’t take no for an answer - and alex’s voice is so scratchy that he can’t really say ‘no’ properly either.
cue montage of willie taking care of alex - one moment when willie slips off to the bathroom, alex takes a little bit too much cough syrup on accident (the numbers on the bottle are so small and he didn’t put his contacts in that morning so he can’t really see) so he ends up kind of high on cough medicine. when willie comes back, he’s met with a giggly, flushed alex.
it gets a little harder to take care of him then since alex is seemingly extremely active when he’s high. he just wants to go outside and run around and ugh it’s such a nice night tonight isn’t it willie?? its a feat and a half trying to get him to stay in bed. alex says he’ll stay in bed but only if willie sits next to him and runs his fingers through his hair like his mom used to do when he was a kid.
so willie does (and is also incredibly thankful that alex can’t see his flushed cheeks from his position in his lap) when he quietly hears “i like you willie”. his breath hitches because alex can’t possibly mean in that way right? and he says back “yeah i like you too”
but then he hears alex sigh and nuzzle his nose into willie’s thigh and say “not in the same way.” before he drifts off to sleep.
