domestic modern!au levi hcs based on my life
➼ when levi gets sick, he's very reluctant to admit it. after all, he was always the one doing the caring. he'd feel ridiculous to suddenly swap places
➼ if you ask him what's wrong, he'd grunt and deny everything, even though you knew he was lying.
➼ he'd give you small, quiet thank yous as you give him small acts of service to help him. you'd refill his cup of tea (after he's made it himself, of course, you didn't want to risk making him feel even worse with your botched version of his tea), bring him something to snack on as he reads, and then finally drag him to go to bed
➼ he wouldn't accept if you said he needed rest, so you cling onto him and say its because you needed snuggles, which he reluctantly obliges to (although you questioned even that with how little resistance he gave you)
➼ levi (at first) wouldn't be the biggest fan of taking medications at the first sign of being sick. not because he thinks anything negative about having to take medications, he just didn't think he needed it and that it would be a waste of your time to go out and buy it. however, if you had it at home and he was actively uncomfortable, he would take it, although he might mumble something along the lines of only taking it because you kept pestering him about it
➼ when he's on the recovering end, he would try to get up and running again when it was much too soon (just because you feel better for 30 minutes doesn't mean your body is done healing). and then he'd struggling admitting to you that he still needed rest once he crashed during the middle of the day after the morning meds wore off
➼ when he finally does recover and he hears you sniffle, his heart drops and he starts beating himself up over also getting you sick.
➼ levi immediately jumps into caretaker mode. while you were taking care of him, he made mental notes of everything you did for him. now that your roles were switched, he would do everything you did and more. it was natural for him. after all, his love language was acts of service. it came as second-nature to care for someone he loved so dearly.
