💊Sickness Prompts for Your Couples❤️‍🩹

Throwing my hat in the ring for some (very specific) sic fic prompts and sharing ideas with fellow writers, since a big theme in my own writing is care through mental and physical illness. This is my first round of these, so I'm sorry if they're not super good, or are a bit too much of a text wall.

In sickness and in health, you know? (CW for mentions of vomiting, sickness, medications, and wounds. Continue below the cut, if you wish to proceed.)

Character A needs to take an aggressive amount of medication for an illness, and it makes them tired and sluggish. Their friend helps them with this regularly, assisting around the house until A has a proper moment to rest. A can sleep knowing that they will wake up to the place tidied up, their medication safely stored beside them, and the necessary work completed. They sleep deeply, and their friend gently tells them how much they love them, and confesses their deeper feelings to the sleeping A as they clean up their room, adjust their blanket, and spare a moment to cast a lingering look upon their peaceful face.

Character A gets poisoned and tries to restrain themselves from being sick in front of B. B is someone that they highly respect, and it would be incredibly embarrassing to even trip in front of them, let alone vomit or faint. They excuse themselves, and get sick, only for B to wonder at their prolonged absence and hear their struggle from behind a restroom/bedroom/etc door. Rather than admonishing them for their weakness, B is incredibly concerned, and implores for A to let them inside. A lets them, but not before trying to conceal the extent of their issue a bit. It doesn't work. B sees right through it and properly assists them, showing an unexpected (from A's perspective) amount of care, and providing them the help they need, and more.

Character A notices that character B is extremely uncomfortable in their clothes. They're fidgeting, adjusting things that don't need to be fixed, and yanking the fabric away from their skin. They dismiss character A's questions about it, only for them to end up hiking a sleeve or a collar a bit too far and exposing a horrible rash that has erupted across their flesh, red and angry. Character A takes up the task of leading them to a private place and helping them to undress. They assist B by soothing the rash with ointment/lotion/wipes, and A secretly relishes in the fact that they get to touch B's skin and see more of their body, even if it's in...less than ideal circumstances. B in turn feels a lot better, both because of the soothing of their inflamed skin and because A's delicate hands are the best medicine.

A has a fear of blood. Unfortunately, they walk in to check on B, who's been a bit too quiet, (aside from some occasional muttered cursing) and has had a terrible nosebleed. It's dripped down their face and onto whatever surface they're standing or sitting by, and they try in vain to cover their face with their hands, only to get blood under their nails and smeared all over their palms. A has to force down their panic and fetch B a tissue or cloth. They try to awkwardly soothe one another--B sounding wet and nasally as they pinch their nose shut, and A sounding on the verge of fainting as they clean their beloved's blood up and try to help them, hands trembling and all.

A falls ill in the middle of the night, but doesn't want to bother B, who is a visitor in their home. B awakens to A shuffling down the hall, unable to restrain groans of pain as they rifle through a medicine cabinet or try in vain to find some over the counter relief. B offers to help, and A feels nothing but horrible as B aids them, carrying them back to bed or helping them walk. A collapses on the bed, unable to stand any longer, and B gets to work, stripping their sweat-slick clothes off, fetching A a drink, and trying to dose them with some medicine. A cries silent tears, or apologizes for disturbing B, only for B to continue in their care and say that they're happy to do something like this for their cherished host.

Fandom should get to normalize having *that* couple. The parent couple (doesn't strictly need to be parents but they act parent-y)

Rolling over in bed to caress your partner's cheek...and accidentally poking them in the eye

The Blanket Wars air every night from 9 PM to sunlight

Thinking shower sex is all hot and nice, and then doing it and being like "actually I'm really fucking cold back here, it's my turn under the shower head" (or better yet a shower that won't easily accommodate two people)

The couple that farts together STAYS TOGETHER, do you HEAR ME

when sharing clothes is so normal they've just forgotten whose is whose

When they both forget important things - like anniversaries - and they're both like "eh, okay then, postpone for tomorrow"

Going out on their first date in years...to a grocery store

Car karaoke (bonus: one of them sings so bad but loves it so much the other suffers to see them smile)

Getting excited together over coupons

One of them gets sick and the other is actually a normal person who shoves sickie into a little quarantine room and leaves them food and medicine on occasion and loves them from a great distance until they're not sick

Cuddling doesn't turn into sex they just fall asleep on each other all the time

When with friends, instead of getting jealous and possessive, they actively shove their partner to their friends to get them off their hands for a night, please, for the love of God

They don't carry them to bed, they just leave them a blanket and let them sleep on the floor

Writing Prompt #1

Two females who’ve bonded over music realize that they’re lesbians, and they begin to fall for one another. (Blogger’s note: I do realize that this is basically the plot to the manga and anime ‘Given’ but I myself never seen it. Have fun with the prompt, though.) ~Serenity
