Waltz For Eternity sickfic prompt 2
So I've noticed it being outright mentioned a few times in the campaign that Renn will sometimes either eat less than the others because he's not a fan of the food, or he skips meals entirely when he's studying, and I think this should have consequences~
So Renn wakes up one morning feeling sluggish and not knowing why. He decides to continue his day as normal bc he'd rather pull cybernetic teeth than admit something might be off with him. He spends most of the day studying, wondering why he continues feeling worse over time.
Then Jace challenges him to one of their usual sparring matches. For some reason Renn finds it more difficult than normal, but still wins in the end. Right when Jace is making a comment about Renn going easy on him, Renn ends up feeling lightheaded and faints.
Jace then freaks out and rushes Renn to the med bay. His habit of skipping meals combined with the stress of their everyday lives and Operation: Waltz caused Renn to develop a fever that the Solari refuses to acknowledge because then he'd have to REST and they have a MISSION coming up Jace, he can't skip training over a stupid illness-
He ends up spending a few days in bed with at least one other member of Elm squadron babysitting him 24/7 and he is NOT HAPPY about it.
