Sick prompt #9. “Nothing some soup and a cuddle can’t fix.” with Corn
Sure! Here you go :) I hope you like the fic.
When Corn found out that he was sick, he tried to ignore it. He knew that he needed to work, so there was no time for him to get sick! He needed to do a lot of stuff around the farm. His brother might think that he didn’t do that much, but he really did.
He needed to feed the animals, and collect some of the veggies and fruits, plus make sure that everything was well taken care of. Harvest helped out, and did a lot, but Corn did too.
Harvest handled more of the talking with people, mostly cause Corn ain’t the best at talking to people. At least most of em, Flare was one of his friends. A nice pal that made it easy to talk to him.
Anyway.
When Corn woke up, feeling strange surges of magic in his bones, he knew what that meant. His soul felt shaky too, most likely just the common cold but he still didn’t want to have to deal with it. So he slipped out of his bed and went to shower, covering his mouth with his hand as he yawned.
When he shut his mouth, he heard the click of his teeth connecting and he turned on the water for it to warm up. It wasn’t going to get way too warm; something he knew, but he didn’t really mind…
The cold sounded nice right now. He felt pretty hot. He reaches up, tugging at his shirt collar letting out a soft sound of annoyance. This was going to be fine… he gets into the water after getting undressed, and shuts his sockets feeling the water falling over his bones.
It felt nice... much more than he was expecting. While he stood there, feeling the water falling over him, he started to feel dizzy. He lets out a soft sound, and slowly moves himself to sit on the floor.
Ugh... What the hell, why was he feeling so bad? This isn't fair at all. He slept, ate well, and took care of himself!
Maybe not the... best but still good enough, right?
Later he opens his eyes when he felt a hand against his shoulder. "Corn? What are you doing?"
He blinks a few times, groggy and feeling kind of gross. He shakes his head, and lifts his head to look up at whoever was talking to him. Why was... why was Y/n here?
"Y/n?" he asks, mumbling.
"Did you fall asleep in the shower? Are you feeling alright?"
His mind felt so groggy.
"I..." he rubs at his face with his hand, "I guess so?" he then realized that hey, he was naked! He moves the curtain over himself the best that he could "Y/n!" He coughs, turning his head down.
They snort at him. "Corn, it isn't the first time I've seen you naked. You're literally a skeleton... come on, let's get you back into the bed" They turn off the water, and grab a towel to wrap around him as they said that.
Corn breathes out, nodding slowly and rests his head against their arm as they wrap the towel around him, and they scoop him up starting to walk back to their shared bedroom. "How bad do oyu feel?"
“Nothing some soup and a cuddle can’t fix.” He decided to say, a relaxed smile on his face. He didn't really mind they were carrying him, he was a little... heavy but they seemed to be handling it well enough.
Y/n snorts, but nods, kissing the top of his head. He shuts his sockets, letting out a soft purr.
They set him down onto the bed, and head off to go make the soup. He cuddles up into the blanket, breathing out slowly. Alright... guess this isn't the worst thing. He'll just sleep then he’ll feel better, and be able to go and work.
