When you are sick, Eliot takes it seriously...
If its anyone else, he's annoyed to take care of them, whining, making jokes or claiming they are saying it's worse than it is.
But when it comes to you, it could be a minor illness and he's not letting you out of this sight.
If you have a fever, he is brining you medicine, tea, and a cold cap.
And he will be taking your temp every other hour.
Massaging you if you are aching anywhere and speaking softly as to not agitate your headache.
He will make you various soups and stews over the course of your illness to make sure you get a variety, all while making you eat something easy on your stomach.
Won't let anyone bother you.
He will cuddle with you, and hold you tightly if that's what you need.
If he needs to go somewhere (which he will only do if its life or death, or if you want to be alone or sleep), he will leave you with a nice plush or pillow to cuddle with.
When you are feeling up to it, he will run you a nice bath, and sit outside (or inside) the tub with you.
He will wash you and your hair for you, to make you feel better.
And when you are finally over your illness altogether, he makes you one of your favorite dishes to celebrate.
When it comes to Eliot being sick....
He wont tell you he is ill
He could have a fever of 105 and he'd try to keep going.
You only figure it out cause of one of two reasons.
One; you catch him taking some cold and flu pills, or two; you hug him and he pulls away.
Even as he does you feel the heat radiating off of him.
When you get angry at him for not telling you he was sick, he says its because he didn't want to worry you.
As much as you love him for this, you still flick him on the forehead and tell him to go home.
You bring him a cold rag and dab his face, putting his hair up for him.
You bring him tea, and soup and threaten to chain him to the bed if he doesn't stop trying to leave.
"Is that a threat or a promise?"
Even when he's sick he's got jokes.
After seeing how sweet, caring, and worried you get when he is sick, Eliot think's it's endearing.
He even milks it a bit just to get your attention on him.
Calls you Nurse/Doctor, and you're convinced he's got a secret kink he won't really admit too.
The first time he got sick during your relationship, that that was when he decided you were the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
When he is finally better, he makes you breakfast to thank you for taking care of him.
But you insist on helping, since he only just recovered. He's fine with it.
