Hiii !! I recently discovered you write for Twisted Wonderland too and this idea's been spinning around in my head since then...
I recently finished book 4 and i love how MC, and Kalim kept wanting to help Jamil stay on his feet even nine days after his overblot which makes me wonder just how bad his post-overblot symptoms were.
I'm stuck with the image of Jamil incredibly sick and nauseous and Kalim of all people, attempting to help him through, hold his hair back and everything and Jamil hates that Kalim is still kind to him after the ordeal but also is relieved in a way that he hasn't lost Kalim as a friend like... He's torn between pushing Kalim away, apologizing to him, or just focussing on the embarassment he feels to be so weak and helpless before the man he was supposed to be responsible for always.
Additional moment, imagine Kalim trying to cook something simple for Jamil to help his state and managing to give the poor guy food poisoning on top of that 😭
HeLp 😂 poor Jamil, I’d honestly feel kinda bad if he wasn’t so cute. I can definitely imagine him practically making Kalim leave his room or wherever he is because Jamil is like so used to licking his metaphorical and literal wounds in private that I can imagine that the while he’s recovering from over blotting he one hundred percent would attempt to brute force it if he could but the very next day he’s probably bed ridden against his will.
While Jamil actually wants to use that time to rest as evidence by him not minding too much when he ate that poisoned curry and nearly died😭 I feel like due to him being socialized and raised to be a workaholic on nearly every level for Kalim he has trouble resting in the sense that he’s always jumping from task to task right after he completes one and if he’s still for too long to rest then sometimes he gets antsy probably.
Jamil trying to curse Kalim out in between his puking and nearly choking on one of his retches but the curses are more from the frustration of being sick, and Kalim of all people getting him sick.
One thing I can imagine Kalim doing is not just holding Jamil’s hair while he’s throwing up but also like maybe doing Jamil’s hair for him in a more simple style. I feel like Kalim would have learned to do Jamil’s hair when they were really little, just in case a situation does arrive where Jamil is out of commission for a bit.
And since like practically everyone knows just how much Jamil like actually values his hair, maybe like Jamil waking up while he’s in and out of it with a pretty bad fever the very next day after his overblot and Kalim carefully doing his hair for him. Him thinking it’s a hallucination from the fever because he’s shocked Kalim is even sticking around 😭
I feel like if this were something that Kalim learned to do that it’s one of the few things he’d do extremely carefully especially when their relationship is still on the rocks.
Sorry I rambled anon but it was just a cute cute thought 😭
