Sick child headcanons
Tanaka Ryunosuke
- When one child gets sick, the others in the house usually followed suit. Which can spell disaster when you have four kids. Tanaka and you had taken turns staying up over night with your oldest son as he made frequent bathroom trips to empty his stomach. Tanaka had went to work in the morning while you stayed home and he was nervous as to what he was going to come home to.
- He was not expecting to see the rambunctious twins laying on the couch zoned out watching tv, the pair barely even noticing as he walked in the door. He also did not expect to see his oldest son asleep on the bathroom floor.
- Tanaka picked his eight year old son off the floor and deposited him in bed with a bowl just to be safe. Then made his way through the house looking for you.
- He found you in the nursery rocking chair half asleep while rocking a fussing one year old. You informed him that every child now had a fever and had been throwing up, which was not a surprise to him. He could tell how stressed and exhausted you were from caring for them all day though. He ordered you to take a shower, relax in the bath or take a nap.
- Tanaka went into ultimate dad mode. He was able calm down the youngest child and get in her in her crib taking a nap. He started a new movie for the twins and put cool wash cloths on their heads to help with the fevers. The house was cleaned and he had some soup started on the stove.
- Once everyone was awake and had eaten what they could of dinner, Tanaka decided that they needed to watch a movie together and cuddle on the couch until bed time.
Akaashi Keiji
- Akaashi never planned on being a single dad but here he was. He read the books and did what he could to be the best dad to his daughter.
- But nothing fully prepared him for when his baby girl got sick for the first time. Sure he knew what medicine to give her and how much. He knew how to handle fevers. He was also used to the sleepless nights.
- He did not know how to handle how much it would hurt his heart to see his baby so miserable. The constant need to cuddles, the constant fussing from not feeling well, and the refusal to drink her bottle were things that worried him. Sure he knew they were normal when sick but that did not make it easier to deal with.
- Even when she would sleep, he was still waking himself up to check her fever every two hours. He did not want to have it spike and him not notice.
- He was relieved when he finally got her to drink a bottle. But it was short lived since she threw it all up twenty minutes later. He tried pedialyte to keep her hydrated but of course she hated the taste and refused to drink it.
- It was a long weekend but Akaashi definitely won the best dad award with his constant care. He was glad when the fever went away and he finally saw his baby girl return to her happy self.
Nishinoya Yu
- Dating while being a single mother was hard. Luckily, you were able to find man that loved and cared about you and your son. That man came in the form of Nishinoya Yu.
- It was still hard when your son was sick on the night Noya made reservations to celebrate your one year anniversary. Noya did not answer when you called him to cancel plans so you left a very apologetic voicemail.
- So you were surprised to hear a knock at your door twenty minutes later. You opened the door to find Noya standing there in pajamas holding Popsicles and movies.
- “Just because your son is sick doesn’t mean I don’t want to spend our anniversary together. Now he gets to celebrate with us, which is perfect because I love having him in my life too.”
- Noya helped take care of your son as if he was his own child. Of course that involved being spoiled with his favorite movies and Popsicles for his sore throat.
- The night was full of cuddles and laughter as Noya helped distract your son from his aching throat.
Sugawara Koushi
-Usually you stayed home when your daughter was sick but you had a meeting today so Suga stayed home with her instead. Staying home with a sick kid was not something he was used to doing but that didn’t mean he was clueless as how to care for his sick daughter.
- He knew what medicine to give her along with what dose. He knew other tricks to help bring down a fever. He knew that the extremely cuddly toddler would want to be held all day. And he knew he favorite movies to watch. He was 100 percent confident in his abilities to stay home with his sick child.
- He was not prepared for her fever to spike into dangerous levels. Or for her to break out in a rash all over her body. Or for none of his tricks to work on her fever.
- This lead to an impromptu trip to the doctor’s office. Suga being extremely grateful for the connections he had making him able to get an appointment right away.
- He was relieved to find out that the rash was due to the fever and nothing to worry about. The high fever was due to an ear infection that slipped through the cracks and started getting worse. Suga was given an antibiotic for your daughter and assurance that everything should be fine.
- You arrived home to find Suga and your daughter cuddled up on the couch napping with cartoons playing in the background.
