Osteospermum
I believe requests are open, and I would just like to ask like TFC x reader who has to stop by the hospital often. For example I have few things wrong with my bones (sadly💔) and I have to go back to make sure my ribcage isn’t slowly getting even more crooked then it is. Feel free to skip, hope you have a good day/night ^^
Thank you for your order, our chef greatly appreciates it and wants to give you the best experience; the appetizer will be divided into five parts to your desire. We appreciate you dining in Lucid's Reserve today. Please take a seat and enjoy your appetizer, dear guest; enjoy ♡.
Pierrot
Let's be fair, this man stated that he can and will be anything you want. Pierrot would be more careful with than he already is prior to knowing you have Syncope. At first he would somewhat baby you and tell you to not do things for your safety but you didn't like that. You're still your own person despite being like this and you don't want to be held back.
Pierrot would make sure you're always okay that being making silent observations on your physical wellbeing. If he sees you jerk a little bit or looks sweaty then he'd ask you if you're okay.
If you take frequent trips to the hospital he'd accompany everytime under a disguise. It comes to a point that even your doctor recognizes him as friend of yours. Pierrot keeps an emergency contact of said doctor if he notices anything before you do. He would also ask The Doctor about your condition and advice on what to do.
When there comes a time where you suddenly feel weak or pass out it's okay because he's there to catch you. Or if he's not there it's either your boss or sadly Harlequin. Pierrot and Harlequin would make up or be civil for your safety.
Harlequin
Harlequin noticed that you always seemed energetic. It was like the sun incarnated into a person. He always questioned how you seem so happy. Then he found out you have Diabetes, something he wasn't supposed to witness in your words. You were too engrossed with work that you forgot to eat some of your hourly candy that you almost collapsed. Thankfully your boss was there and took over 30 minutes of your shift until you can get back on track again.
Now he takes the responsibility of reminding you about your candy. Either by popping up at the café or even texting you. He wouldn't admit it but seeing the way your face looked weak made him upset. You'd teach him how to check your blood sugar so that you don't have to do it alone. Now it became a routine for him to stop by your place or at the café before your shift to check on your blood sugar.
When you need to go to the hospital he comes along in a disguise as well. One time your usual doctor wasn't working that day and you got assigned to a different one. That doctor tried to sell you some medicine you don't need which made Harlequin angry. Don't ask how he knew it was the wrong medicine.
He may or may not have asked Doctor about the medicine you can and cannot drink.
He would carry around candy in his pockets despite not liking them. They're reserved just for you.
Jester
You have scoliosis and despite being an adult it's still an annoyance. Just because you're an adult now and that your bones have matured doesn't mean there won't be pain. It's becoming a pain recently to the point you can't even sit in chairs that don't have cushions. Luckily for you, you just bought a lumbar cushion online and been carrying it around ever since.
Since Jester is a man of control he'd make sure your posture is always upright and presentable. He would put his hand on your back to remind you to sit or stand up properly. It's also for your benefit. Even though your spinal bones have matured there's still a chance for it to start curving again if you keep slouching.
Jester would talk to you and ask you if you would consider not working for the cafe anymore, not because he's controlling but moreso concerned. When he asked The Doctor insight about scoliosis he found out that it can still worsen throughout adulthood. There's no denying of the fact that you'd be carrying around heavy trays of food or drinks, or carrying coffee beans, and even being on your feet the whole day.
He'd also suggest getting a gurdle or corset for you to wear in case he isn't around. This is to ensure your posture is just right. If you're going to the doctor he doesn't accompany you, he respects your need for independence and would rather hear your thoughts about your check up from you directly. He doesn't mind you going to the doctors. If anything he hopes that when you come back there's at least some improvement on your back.
Ticket Taker
Having Allergic Rhinitis is such a pain. Its bascially like everyday is a battlefield for you. The weather suddenly changes from hot to cold? You're getting colds and allergies for the next 4 days whether you like it or not. It comes to a point where you have to buy at least 12 tablets of your medicine at the end of every week to ensure you never run out.
Ticket Taker, The gentleman he is; always carries a hankerchief with him and spare tablets of your meds. At first he was quite disgusted by the fact you keeep sneezing a lot. Until he saw how much it was deeply affecting you and so he adjusted. Made sure to find out what the temperature is hours before your shift to inform you. Giving advice if you should wear a jacket or not. He also carries a face mask just in case your allergies go really crazy.
He would accompany you to the hospital in his human disguise. Not to ensure your safety but he knows there's a chance you can get an allergy attack in the hospital. Ironic as it is for a sanitary place to trigger that some hospitals don't regulary dust off which triggers the allery attack. That happened once and he was very upset at the staff. He takes mental notes during the checkup while the Doctor checks on you.
He's also a man of discipline. So that being said he will pop up in your mirror before you leave the apartment to remind you to drink your medicine. Sometimes you don't even realize you ran out of your meds but he already took care of that and refilled your supply.
The Doctor
Why would you go to the Hospital when you have him? Is the first question he asked you when you told him you were going to the hospital for a checkup. Living with Iron Deficiency Anemia ain't for the weak, always being tired and sometimes experiencing delayed menstrual period. Days where your blood is flowing and some where there's barely any blood. It's a pain really.
He would remind you to take your meds before eating breakfast and gets very upset when you forget to do so. There's also meal plans every week. Whether you like it or not you're gonna be eating food rich in iron even if it doesn't taste that good. Doctor will keep track of your period. If he sees that you're on track then good! If your period is later than he expected well congratulations you're eating shellfish for at least a few days to get your iron up again. When it your period comes early it usually becomes a battlefield for you to which he greatly assists.
He may be jealous that you have a doctor but he can't say anything about it, because let's be real here. They're not staying in your town forever. He can't always be the one medicating you if they're gonna leave at some point. That's why he's been teaching you what to do when that time comes. He doesn't come with you to the doctor of course. Why would he?
He would research and be in touch if there's any new Iron meds in the market. He would bet to himself to see if he can guess the medicine your doctor is gonna prescribe you when you get back.
Just a fun little game is all.
We hope you enjoyed your appetizer today, dear guest. Please come again for the main course or dessert ♡.

Real beauty is in the fragility of your petals. A rose that never wilts isn't a rose at all.
